Ewen wrote:And exactly how fast did the assailants have to act in order to mount the assault on the Baron? They seemed very fast indeed. Can we narrow down possible suspects based on the time frame here?

not sure I followed you hereor if the scenario was put in front of him by somebody else. He could have just had a great idea (a kind of Kind Hearts and Coronets, List of Adrian Messenger idea
Imarë wrote:It will be interesting to see if Sir Blors and Sir Baris interacting. If he knows that Sir Baris is working with the group we will know that Sir Blors is keeping an eye on us.
Perhaps it wasn't just the guards he didn't want to disturb. This would explain:Armor is noisy and difficult to put on, … He may not have wanted to alert the guards and so did not don his armor ….
it could be the blackmailer is Jarop and decided to take the money and still want more from the Baron. I wonder how hard it would be to collect that much (even L20) without it being noticable.
Bevan wrote:One thought is Jarop learned from his Morgathian high priest brother. Seems unlikely unless they were hanging out, chatting about old time and new times, a few bottles of blood wine later and he lets it slip.
Imarë wrote:The motivation of Sir B would be hazy though. Maybe there is another connection, marriage, revenge?

Imarë wrote:If I were a thief, I would want a nice quiet city as my hunting ground. A chaotic city with guards on everything would make my job tougher. Perhaps she is trying to help bring this order to the city. The LK is usually quiet and well hidden and might not be touched by a Royal crackdown.
Imarë wrote:Is there still a College of Heralds in Golotha or was it removed to Coranan when the capital shifted. I remember Matt saying something about the records of the various kingdoms being compiled together but I don't know if that means the branch offices were closed down.
Sigh. I seem to recall the armor Ewen seized for the party fund netted over £3, which may be another reason the fund is going strong. File under "no good deed goeth unpunished"Remember, the very generous Sir Aurum provided the group with £5 and this fund is still going strong ... even with Ewen's fingers in the pot
Given what I am suggesting here, I also am less inclined to think the murder of Sir F was spontaneous and unrelated, given that it seems to have served Sir B's purpose of covering his tracks, if he is involved as Cheryl suggests

Imarë wrote:I don't think anybody knows for sure if Sir B is happy in his post. Maybe he has asperations for higher office. He did his job in the rebellion, but the record does not indicate he was a leading light. When all the rewards were passed out, he was not on the list for any tidbits of his own (promotion, land).
Imarë wrote:Maybe the money was to help finance a new rebellion. With the King and many of his troops off fighting in Orbaal the old fire was being rekindled. This, if discovered, would have put the Barons head in danger and would mean that he would be loth to go to the Royal authorities for protection. Maybe the money was going to our shadow Lenesque member.
Imarë wrote:I do not know how succession to a title occurs. Would the Baron have to name his heir or would it flow according to established custom? I believe that I remember that Sir F was the last cousin who could inherit but I don't think the source (Trilk I believe) knew who would be next. If there were no close family members left would the title go vacant or would more distant relations be put into the position? Could the good Baron be related distantly to the Lenesque clan and could the man we are searching for be looking for an open position to act from (we don't even know if his name is Lenesque, he could be a distaff relative who is related to the Baron).
