Dressed in brown and green robes and armored boots with two hand-and-a-half swords across his back, the man known as Derik Ranloss was seen going into the Muse carrying a large chest.

He met with Lord Darius for a short time and then departed without this chest as Luke went to another meeting.

Nathan spends some time writing a few reports. He sets out for his nightly rounds, patrolling the inside and outside the warehouse, by the docks, and checking up on the Company's other assets.

Upon returning home, he notices his ears bleeding, and tends to that. Checking behind the bar, it appears a pair of notes were left for him, which he reads and then frowns slightly at the contents.

"Seems the two things I agreed to help with are related now. Interesting."

He then sets about preparing very specific equipment for whatever task he has been given.

A female moon elf of modest attire and disposition may be observed going from home to home in the harbor district with a bread basket in the crook of her arm. To any who would accept the charity of freshly cooked fish and bread, she would give freely. Today the ranger makes it a point to not wear her typical adventuring gear rather adorned with a light shawl and cowl worn to cover her cobalt blue hair.

If any whom she came into contact with were questioned, she was merely distributing the warmth and provisions of The Halls of Inner Light.

She also makes it a point to observe the surroundings of Darius Holding Company, ready to confront or report any nefarious characters who may be lurking about its' premises.

A package is delivered, anonymously, to the Minstrel's Muse, addressed to Nathan.

Eventually he returns to the Muse, and is directed by Jack the doorman to it.

A horrified scream is briefly heard from inside the tavern, and he disappears down the stairs into the warehouse, taking whatever was delivered with him.

A notice is circulated at the Minstrel's Muse then around the city of Baldur's Gate.

[parchment]
Public Notice Regarding Orc Activity
By Lord Luke Darius
House Darius
Merchant League
Orcs have long been a threat to the goodly folk of the Western Heartlands and the Sword Coast for many years. It was in recent history that the Black Orc horde descended into this area, inflicting chaos in their wake. They targeted Doron Amar, Triel, and even Baldur’s Gate with their fury. The Flaming Fist, who protect our grand city, went out to do battle and many laid down their lives, a cost which we must always remember. The scars on the area are long lasting, taking a trip to the ruins of Triel will quickly demonstrate that.

In recent days, one of my former House agents, Rania Arowaven, was kidnapped and tortured by these warmongering, barbaric monstrosities. The Steward of House Darius, Fingal Darius, was also viciously assaulted by the same orcs while attempting a rescue mission. It is unfortunate that the Guide of Candlekeep submitted to extortion and payed Seeker Arowaven's ransom after her release. The arming of the northern orcs by two thousand weapons, four hundred of which are silver, is certainly an alarming scenario. Both the Steward and myself attempted to stop the shipment but were outnumbered by orcs, ten to one. I would be remiss if I did not point to the threat of Dragonspear continuing to loom over us, a shadow of incoming doom. Among their numbers they have counted orcs and other monstrous races. How matters will manifest due to the arming of the remnant of the black orc tribe by Candlekeep is currently unknown.

Evenso, House Darius will continue to fight and finance stopping the orc which insisted on kidnapping and assaulting people in the wilderness. We are well aware that diplomacy is a fools errand in this and orcs will be as orcs always are, warmongers. Safety is not guaranteed by avoiding the north! This orc traveled far and wide, even abducting people as far south as the Cloakwood! Therefore, as of today, we are offering a bounty on the orc known as Grishnak at a sum of one hundred thousand gold. Collection of the bounty requires head proof.

A messenger crosses the fields of the Eastern Farmlands from the Radiant Heart's Chapterhouse, making a direct pathway toward the East Gate of the city. Once inside, he veers toward the Harbor District, all the while carrying a gold-stamped parchment of high quality that reveals the sender of the missive as Lord Eldarian Al'maire. The recipient is denoted upon the outside in masculine lettering, and the scroll is delivered to the Minstrel's Muse with an air of dutifulness.

It would be some time since anyone would have seen Adelaide van de Saer, the Sunite priestess. She was never witnessed leaving Baldur's Gate with hers and Luke Darius' young daughter but certainly cannot be found within the city. Should anyone inquire at the Darius Holding Company or the Halls of Inner Light, it would be stated that she and the child are doing well with no further details easily given.


(( Adelaide will be available for RP on request only.

Its late morning and a few messengers are leaving The Minstrels Muse in the Harbor District with sealed letters, they seem to be heading out of the city and then spreading North and South.

A candlemark or so later, Fingal leaves the build as well, heading towards the Merchant league. When entering the Merchant league he spends some time in there before heading towards the Palace District.

Along the roadways North of Baldur's gate; on the fringe of the wilds, Auryne Hawksong would quietly shadow one of the messengers. She never revealed herself, nor made contact with anyone along the way. She blended easily into the wilds and was able to remain so- while traveling on foot at a quickened pace. Close behind was Honey, her badger companion, who despite a foul temperament also remained discreet with his profile. Her intention was simple, protect the messenger from highwaymen or treacherous enemies of House Darius.

A letter is left on the counter under a few bottles;

I uhm walked in on Jack and the dog, rummy I believe. having either a disagreement or a fight. I stepped in to try and split them up but they seemed very intent on continuing to fight each other over something. I just wanted to elave this letter here incase someone wants to have a talk with Mister Jack and see that the dog is looked over.

A heavily armoured figure once known to the Darius Holding Company, one Pryat Mae, entered the Muse today, not further than the lintel of the door, searching for Nathan. After being advised by Adelaide that he was not there at the time, she promptly departed with a promise to dispatch a missive proper.

About an hour later a page-boy of the The Watchful Shield, Baldur's Gate's temple of Helm, came to deliver said missive and depart again with any reply thereto.

It remains uncertain as to what measure of caution, distrust or outright refusal of admittance the employees of Darius Holding Company still have against the Pryat, exoneration or not, or how much may have been evident at the time of her visitation.
