Saim, you'll be leaving within the next two days. Pack lightly, you'll be on the road quite a bit. It's time for you to return to the pits and arenas of your youth. You'll be on a tour of the Timiro Kingdom. And don't worry about your glossy coat, the fights will be arranged for your benefit. Get to know the other gladiators, start making contacts in that world. A good bit of them will be useless fluff, but others should provide you access to underground movements that are already in place. Focus especially on the slave races. Darryn, you'll be acting as his promoter for this stage of the plot. Make contacts with the idle nobles as you two work the towns. Dump enough gold down their throats to make them want you at all of their little get togethers. We'll be assigning a few of the ladies to keep you both from straying with the local talent. Remember, they're more attentive than most of you, so use them well in the field, Darryn."
She nods at the younger gnome, who hands Saim a handful of sealed scrolls. "Given the company you'll be keeping, a chest or two of gold will not last you long. These notes will help you secure funds as you travel the kingdom."
"Snow, you'll be traveling with Darryn. From you, I simply need a body count. Only work in the larger cities, and keep your schedule random, so that your murders don't coincide with the arrival or departure of Siam and Darryn. And, of course, don't get caught."

Darryn decides to go SHOPPING!
After all, If we're going to hob-nob with the well-to-do and powerful, we need to look the part! |

And Saim and the other two girls, actually.
Them not looking the part can get me killed. Flippant as Darryn is while talking, he's not stupid. What they're about to undertake is a dangerous game of cat and mouse, getting the kind of information from the aristrocracy that the other teams may need to know, and overtly manipulate the weaker nobles when the time comes.
It's a game I plan to not only win, but profit handsomely from. |

If we are going to be on the road I'm going to have to be sure to stock up on my favorite hair products before we leave.
Have to keep myself looking good for the fans. |

((If I have a choice in getting two companions to join us, I think I'd like Wolf & Delilah; Wolf's savvy enough to be able to watch Saim's back, and Delilah would have a knack for discovering what kinds of kink certain lazy young nobles are into, which can be all kinds of useful. And both are apparently good enough looking to share someone's bedroom, if the need arises.))
((Saim, what say you?)) |

((quite honestly, she's the only one who has:
1) a brain
2) no dom/sub issues
3) doesn't eat her John
4) isn't on short-term Contract
5) mentally unstable
6) isn't Auntie. ))
((EDIT: And Twitch is a bonus; while I work the John's at the Card Table, it'll give him time to do his magic back at their private suites.)) |

((They're elite whores. Only so many can be that hot, willing to sleep with scum for money, and not have some sort of problem.
Saim may want to bring Camilla, by the way, instead of Delilah. Just because you're in love with Snow )) |

Twitch, Wolf, and Hanna meet up with you three the next morning, so that you can begin your excursion into the land of shopping.
Your first stop, according to the documents left by Auntie, is the town of Barbera. It's a medium sized port town that, due to a recent influx of slaves, has opened its own gladiatorial arena. It's small potatoes for now, but it's a nice safe spot for the lot of you to begin your work. It's also home to a number of Warlocks with a lot of coin and little sophistication to spend it on.

"Hrmph. Hardly the sort of venues a person of my skills is used to. Still, it will be good to get back into the arena. You can worry about all the scheming, I will prefer the honesty in personal combat." |

"Honesty, m'friend? You do realize dat your fight's be rigged, so you'll climb to Champion faster than a thoroughbred, s'alright?"
"Which done mean, someone's gonna get it in der head to pay you to take a dive at some point, or failing dat, get a group of six burly boyos to break dem fine legs o' yours."
Darryn points over to Wolf, "Which is no small reason I asked fer your old gladiator friend. Not only can he woo bored pretty noble ladies...", Darryn flashes Wolf a knowing wink, "...but he knows better dan anyone the dangers you face, both on and off the arena floor."
Darryn pauses, looking the two fine specimens of their respective races, up and down a bit, and smiling wolfishly. "And it don't hurt ticket sales none, you both be none too easy on all the little lonely household noble ladies eyes, none either..."
"Anyways, I dun gotta do something that sticks in my craw none too little bit; I gotta make sure to lose to these tired little playboys. And not make it look at all, like I'm letting dem win, either! But it's my job to make sure we stay popular not only with da masses, but the local nobility as well. Which da girls should help immeasurably with."
"While's we keeping up this pretext, we be letting Snow and Twitch do their dirty deeds, in da dark o' the night. What we find, we send back to Auntie. What we can manipulate safely, we do so. I be a-looking to collect a whole mess of dirty secrets and favors over dis little campaign of ours. Secrets & favors we'll be cashing in, when the moment is ripe..." |

"Speaking of things that stick in your craw, shouldn't you be working on your accent? I'd hate to have to kill you because you slipped up at the wrong time and risked exposing us all." The sarcasm in Snow's emphasis isn't lost on any of the gathered staff. |

"So then, this is your shopping trip. Where are we off to?" Twitch just seems happy to be outside of the brothel walls, though his back is certainly itching every step of the way. |
