Complete post is out of character, as it would be to hard to have Drag explain all this in his own way. Let's just assume he switched all points in intelligence on the way back to the guard mess, and imagine to snappy iner monologue here.
...
hmmm, it starts to get interesting here:
Clues:
- Goldberg target of murder (poison)
- Goldberg is the most influential man in town
- Flawer merchant: rival merchant of goldberg
- Flawer merchant prolly cooperates with a local thieves guild (the rouges? or was that a typo meaning rogues?)
- Flawer got problems with new thieves gang: The clan
- The clan is possibly afiliated with Goldberg
italics are rumors, the others can be assumed as facts.
I think I need to get more info on that Clan, being the new players in town, they are the kind of stuff that could bring change in the whole junk.
Current theories:
1) Flawer being angry at goldberg for starting to use the Clan, decides to take drastic measures to eliminate the fundung source of the Clan.
2) The Clan has a power rush, they may want to take over the whole city, by force through attacks on Flawer, and through sneaky means by eliminating Goldberg and 'replacing him'. This is farfetched though.
3) Goldberg hired me as a cheap mercenary to dispose of one of his rivals in a 'legal' way. The whole thing is fake hence why the clues are hard to find outside Goldberg's place.
Other usefull info:
- Goldberg gets no cooperation from the city guards
- Flawer has no problem with the city guard (anymore)
- Goldberg has the support of the Innkeepers and the local traders.
- Flawer prolly has the support of the 'underground' market (smugglers, black market, ...)
- The Clan is trying to take control of that market.
- Both merchants have probably their own "covert op team", probably a whole thieves guild.
In other words, I'm tossed in a dangerous spider web, with lots of power on both sides, maybe I'm just a mere piece in some mastermind chess play.
...
Okay, I still don't have enough clues, but since I'm here, let's make some double money at once. I'll do my guard job for some time trying to find out more about this whole Clan.
Maybe we'll be attacked/raided by them? That would be an interesting opportunity...
In the meantime: I'll work my days and spend my pay on food, Ale and mostly cards.
my points division are:
sleep: 3 con, 2 dex (healing, wake up easy)
free time: 3 cha, 2 int (gather info/gossip, calculate gambling chances)
Duty: 3 dex, 2 cha (talk casually with other guards (gather info) while being aware of dangers)
If after 3 days nothing has happened (no interesting new clue on the Clan, no attack, no event stirring up town, ...) I'll take some other action.
