Now that we have gone to Selvos, we need to determine what, if anything, we need to do. First off, I believe Sir Aurams information about the Morgathians being active as far south as Selvos. Whether this was a clue or just a comment remains to be seen. From what I have seen, Morgathians are not in your face people (except for their bi-monthly stroll in Golotha). Anything they do will be undercover since they are not in the governmental structure (the Duke of Golotha I believe is nominally the owner). While the castle seems strong in and of itself, what would someone want this town for? My guess currently is location. As noted during the session, the wharf is huge compared to the town. It is also only a day away from the city by land. If something were to happen within the city and the wharves were closed to troops and vessels, nearby ports would be important (especially with the King so far away with a large army). Take the castle and you can deny the use of the facilities. If this is true, there are ports north of the city which would also be in danger of attack to deny use of those. While I try to get away from the paranoia about attacks on Royal authority, I see nothing here so far to take my mind off of it. If anybody else has any pet theories, please float them.
As a plan of action, Imare wants to go a little way outside of town and do some tracking along the roads into town. A small town like this will have, more than likely, farm carts and people walking. If I can see unusual tracks that would help us on our way. Perhaps a couple of days amongst the woods spying would be in order? Maybe some visits to the Safe Harbor would be in order as I hardly think the atmosphere where we are staying is condusive to the Morgathians. Can anyone come up with more places to be checked?
