SUMMARY: Spending time blending into the Undercity to learn about the major players in the criminal circles of Kirkwall.


REPORT:
A report delivered in the middle of the night, rife with spelling mistakes, crossings out etc.

Discovered the following list of names, think they might be worth bothering with but don't go sending people that don't know what they're doing in the Undercity, they'll go scuttling off or you'll end up with folk bleeding everywhere. Won't want me saying I told you so.

Carta and Coterie still top of the heap, as expected. Thing going on with the Coterie but you ain't paying me enough to go take knives for you or to get people talking like that but not many things make folk that shifty in the Coterie unless it might be not knowing where the wind blows.

Starting from the bottom, almost all of us have to so take your lumps: Sewer Rats just getting edged out by Dead Men, what can you say about any of that really? The Poison Tits are tits but bit higher up than those two but that's neither here nor there. Really thought that the Deepstalkers were in the Carta's pocket so something happened that's smarting someone somewhere but again, pay me more and I get you more but we know what'll happen so there we go.

The Lowtown Demons would be better if they were are actual demons? Got some protection racket going on, not like folk have that sort of coin as is but it's getting real dicey with that. Might fancy having a butcher's at it. I would. But what am I, just the skivvy.

We've got the Dragon's Teeth, aspiring to glory, leader doesn't half love the sound of their voice like a Vint but they're not. Then it's The Knuckles, and no, I have no idea how that stupid a name scrambled so high but a mean lot, lot of punching, should see the face on the thing that's in charge, just looks like a pound of meat with some piggy eyes shoved in it. The Red Whispers are a shady bunch like you'd expect, half-expected to see something from the Red Iron involved but no, didn't get a word out of them but they do have tongues. Not like the dwarves that cut them out.

Anyway that's your lot for now but I have family dinners so if there's more I'll follow up. Lowtown Demons aren't highest up but if we have to do something about anyone first, I'd start there, it'll unsettle people to go for the middle instead of the top or the bottom as usual.

NOTES & LINKS: post; given the nature of this and (unbeknownst to him) unrelated elven disappearances, Yngvi will still be keeping an eye on this situation.
