The Little Uskwood

The woman bears all the classic features of a Nidalese - pale skin, raven black hair and high, pointed cheek bones and nose with a slightly unsersized mouth. At rest, her face seems to naturally form something of a cruel look of disdain. Undoubtly Nidalese.

 She motions to you to meet you over at the far end of the bar. Making your way through the crowded Tavern, you find yourself bumping into an uncomfortable number of Glorious Reclamation soldiers. While they pay no attention to you, you begin to question if this woman is truly loyal to Archbaron Fex. 

At the far end, she leans forward to speak with you, using rowdiness of the business to mask her ominous news. "I am Loredana. You should know that not all has gone according to plan. The Queen's Hand was suppose to arrive here five days ago. I have not heard from them, nor has the wind carried any word about them in that time. I fear that they may have become indisposed or worse, captured by the Reclamation. All known and even many of the more quiet Thrune supporters have been rounded up to Hardship's Hearth, in a concentraition camp. For you, that means you are in a very bad place, surrounded by enemies and exceedingly few allies. I will leave things to your discretion, but you may consider the option of giving up Kantaria and returning from wherver you came. Fex's wrath is severe,  but not as severe as the Reclamation's if they find out you are Agents."

Cimiri speaks up, standing back, as a group of men and one very beautiful woman all gather around her. "Well, good thing I have friends in low places. Ched, Marko, Krash, Henry, Penelope, a pleasure to see you all." She says, patting them each on the back. Looks like we have just a few more. Meet The Devil Hogs." She says smiling wildly.

Loredana Vicorina does not look amused.

"Yes. I suppose they will be of some use. If you chose to stay, I have gathered some intelligence on places you may wish to strike at to weaken the Reclamation. I also have an associate of mine who may be willing to assist you, if you are willing to do them a favor. Take some time to think it over. I have to get back to work."
