[20:08] <@BradGM> While the psyker’s walk was without incident, a lack of proper map and signalisation rendered the Tech-Priest and the assassin lost within the docks district for an hour. While Lazerus could not even get a single customer and resorted to hit the gambling dens, the duo reached the giant smithys, where Mira spotted numerous Skitarii troops hidden with cameleonite cloaks, protecting a cog and gear marked building. [20:09] <@BradGM> After a rather cold reception, both Tech-Priests began discussing in binary, leaving Mira on the fritz. Despite this, Grendel learned that Metalus received a visit from a Calised Commissar, who was quite interested into knowing any incidents of thievery or crime within the black robed technologist’s domain. [20:09] <@BradGM> He produced the 6 months old pict-recording of the encounter, and used the knowledge stored into Grendel’s data-slate to share his opinions on the ambushers and their possible current location. [20:09] <@BradGM> Meanwhile Lazerus, despite his failed cheating attempt was racking up quite a nice pot around the nicer gambling establishments. [20:09] <@BradGM>. He learned that numerous attacks by feral Orks plague the region and that despite numerous requests from Baron Geiswaden to launch an attack, the Planetary Governor is not interested to move into action. Mockingbird then returned to the Cathedral to share their newly founded information. +++ [20:09] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:10] <@BradGM> **The Steps are packed with the faithful preparing for the midday mass.** [20:12] * @Grendel glances around, looking for Lazarus before resorting to his commbead. <Are you here, Lazarus??

"I believe we will find out more in Maxwell. What did the contact say about the city?" [20:52] <Mira> "He didn't say much of anything about the city itself."

[21:13] <@Grendel> "Perhaps Lazarus and I will try, then if there's a problem you will not be known?" [21:15] <Mira> "That could work.
