SUBJECT: From the Top Down (War Table) PARTICIPANTS: Isaac + Val, Yngvi, Marisol, Vane, Alistair DATE FILED: 11/10 STATUS: Complete SUMMARY: By coordinating a handful of the Inquisition's shadily-connected members, Larius' smuggling contacts were identified. Off-screen, Marisol, Yngvi, Vane, and Val were able to snatch some letters. (Cleared with participants OOC)
REPORT:
Enchanter,
What sort of a name is Larius? I won't claim mine the height of craft, but at least it doesn't shorten to Larry.
Don't mistake me, I've known a Larry or two in my day, and they were charming enough. Not Montsimmard Larry — what a prat — but the others: Perfectly benign. Unremarkable. You hear Larry, and what you picture isn't sinister and vanished.
Even Montsimmard Larry. I think that prat's alive.
As Warden Alistair had the Warden angle covered (ideal: I don't care for Darkspawn), I reached out in pursuit of other leads. Mssr. de Fonce was able to connect me with Madam Lajoie, whose studies of mundane lyrium have occasionally necessitated discrete shipping; Mssr. Yngvi was in turn able to turn eyes out below ground, among the Casteless.
Lady Vivas and Mssr. Vane were most helpful in identifying potential overland routes, and in acquiring direct correspondence. I'd assure you that this was all done by above-the-board by legal means, but frankly I didn't check.
I've taken the liberty of marking a few likely routes upon the map — it may be worth contacting the Scoutmaster (or Enchanter Delacroix) to follow up. Most of them haven't seen Warden Larry in a while, and none of them have since the Conclave. He was reliable, but not personable. No one shed a tear or raised a round in his probable memory. They're working with a templar now, apparently without complaints, so Larry really must have been dreadful.
I suggest in the future we investigate a more dashing Warden. Dantes, or Nightblood, perhaps. I'd even settle for a Valentina.
