un: unlikely friend

[ Stealing a second pendant wasn’t easy, exactly, but not was it particularly difficult. As shrewd as merchants were, they were simultaneously arrogant when they thought they were going in for the kill - so using Kahl as a distraction (deliberately looking both well meaning and slow with too much coin weighing him down) made it easy to slip the device away and make his own exit long before the man noticed. He and Kahl met up again in a dank little corner, dark and damp, and crouched down over it as they changed the username and prepared their post.

They needed to get the word out - and quickly - but doing so as themselves would only paint a target on their back. So. Burner device, pretend to be a native from the city, get the word out, then ditch the device as soon as they were done.

Time to go. ]

To our foreign guests:

You’ve been promised to Rakkathu as bodies for his horde. Our King plays your host but has already cut a deal - your lives for ours. Or at least some of them.

A dozen plus a tax - this is what he has been promised.

My conscience won’t abide for it. You’ve done nothing but help where and when we’ve asked, only to get this in return. Don’t let him sacrifice you. Murder won’t buy us freedom, whatever our masters believe.

Please. If you’re anywhere near as strong as I think you are: help free us from him once and for all.

I'm not certain how you discovered this, if you ferried a message like our other insider did or learned it from someone who did, but there's likely only a small number of people who knew this before you advertised it.

Which would mean while your identity is a mystery to us, it won't be to the people you're trying to hide it from.

That’s why I suggest you don’t dig too deeply into mine.

I calculated the risk. I hope you are all worth it.

[ Rude tbh, he considers himself always the most valuable! ]

I have plenty more questions -- more precise detail would help in ascertaining what exactly is going on here -- but your giving more detail in public would make your role even more obvious than it is. If you'd care to contact me privately at some point, I would be interested in speaking more.

>> private….?

Talk to “strange”. He wanted a meeting.

I’ll meet you both.

>> private….?

[ Isn't that the guy who recently attacked the gates? Now they're having secret meetings with him?

The guy who recently was subject to mind control?

Titans, he needs a drink to process all of this. ]

Very well.
