[20:23] <@BradGM> +++2246Hours- Maxwell Time+++
[20:24] <@BradGM> +++ Grendel quickly began removing fingers off the man, the Ork nob revealed as Zakaris, to put pressure on him for answer. He broke as quickly as the first of his fingers removed.
[20:24] <@BradGM> . Hired by Gallus to get Ork mercenaries to assault the Masquarade, the Watch stronghold and the Hall of Justice simultaneously; a serious blow to the regions’s leadership-apart from the Duke of Maxwell, revealed accomplice into the planned massacre, having infiltrated the Xenos underlings by means of a secret passage.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Mira in the meanwhile began to convince Gorkok, of his weak employer and switched sides, in exchange for weapons and salvage.
[20:24] <@BradGM> Mockinbird also learned that Gallus was but the henchman of a (well paying) patron, his center of operations hidden on the Earl’s of Bourfin’s contested lands, the villagers having been replaced by men loyal to him, the road leading there guarded by Enoulians.
[20:24] <@BradGM> . Taking to the passageway leading outside the Walls, the acolytes planned on heading to Gallus and a well armed Ork mob.+++
