Alvin will have acquired his own little carrier pigeon to send messages, so he'll have one stationed at the main carrier pigeon place that will come and find him.

In the meanwhile, this is the entry for any private messages that are delivered via the carrier pigeon system.

...no. I'm not aware.

[And now he leans in to listen, eyes sharp.]

What's this about the tournament?

[opportunitycosts]

[And now there is a genuine look of surprise.]

You haven't heard? [...Ah. Well. It did come up in the Town Hall Meeting...]

Apparently the woman was actually from Shaarnath. Have no clue how she got up here, but apparently she's part of some rebel faction that's against Thras and the Arehtei in general. They believe the Arehtei are doing more harm than good and are trying to destroy them.

If I remember correctly, the point of the tournament was to inspire fear within the local populace and cause conflict between all the parties.

[young_oldman]

...do you think she might be behind this? Using the dead's crystal records, the dead were noted to have a history of having strongly negative emotions. I don't know how they were going to extract those emotions, but all that machinery down there must have been installed down there for a reason.

[opportunitycosts]

I don't know, but I wouldn't rule her out.

At the very least, someone very organized is behind this.

[young_oldman]

And it could even be someone with access to the crystal records or someone who had broken in, since we found the names of the dead on a list.

The scale, depth and complexity of this operation is...not something to be laughed at.

[He leans back onto his chair, troubled.] Did you hear anything about the meeting about what would happen if an Arehtei were to be torn apart or die?

[opportunitycosts]

No. In fact the meeting was the first time anyone learned they could die and actually have generations. At least that's what Thras told someone.

[young_oldman]

...alright, I think you're going to have to tell me everything that went on at that meeting, since I've really heard none of this.

[Seriously, the one time he called sick and he misses all the deets!?]

[opportunitycosts]

[Yep.]

You want me to tell you everything? Any place I should start first?

[DID SOMEONE WRITE A REPORT ON THIS YET...]
