4. Footway Robbery - Waelass

[Dekaru]

Finch leans against a wooden post in the market scratching his chin contemplating the next course of action. Without looking up and hiding his face from onlookers with his hat he supplies his own information.

[Imperial]-"There be numerous mercenaries here from as far as the Ruhini deserts. The Imperials are hirin' them to dig fortifications but the group I made acquaintances with seem above digging holes. The Imperials pull the civilians they can to do their digging. The Ruhini do not seem to care for the Imperials and only for the coin meanin' they may be useful if'n they could be convinced. I was left with impression the people and mercenaries alike do not know the Imperials here are of a different breed so to speak."

Finch moves his hand to inside his coat and feels the hilt of one of his daggers. Without his sword he's not much use in a fight but he knows a potential solution to their issue.

[Imperial]-"Mercenaries also spoke of monsters killin' the people from the dark. I can only assume them be the monsters you speak of Zwiche an' be good you did not pursue further. If'n these creatures be real the curfew unlikely to be a farce. Ridding the city of these beasts may be enough grant audience with the Lord an' provide us the information we need."

Finch glances at Judy who has remained quiet about her own discoveries

[Imperial]-"Less you found something of greater use or hints of rebellion brewing in hidden alleys?"
