Feel free to post here anytime, certainly with all those compliments. I must say that the amount of positive reactions I have head and support for this event is incredible.
Mariana, you couldn't have put it in better words. Black and white, good and bad simplify your understanding of a situation but certainly limit your view and possibilities. Too make an event like KNM last as long as it has and with our plans to make it last even longer we need some complexity and mystery and maybe even more important the opportunity for each player to think about how their character thinks and feels about certain things.
After Paajah discovered that Azeron had been informing the guards about KNM via a letter Snowbud gave her, she didn't want to create a scene.
Unfortunately while she stepped outside to inform Piephil, inside Azeron and a few others were looking through the personal items of the staff. When Paajah sees that there are strangers in the private area and Azeron had followed her outside, clearly not tending to his guard duties she is all too happy kra decides to leave early.
Soon after Azeron has left one of the younger staff, Baciko, shows up and starts to run some games. Around closing time he wants to fill out the financial record that the establishment keeps, but it is nowhere to be found...
Her newly hired bartender tells her that he saw Azeron not only take the finincial record, he has also Morrquea's notebook.
At this point Paajah no longer cared and she offered a great reward for whoever made sure Azeron and the evidence he stole wouldn't be a problem anymore.
Baciko also wanted to contribute and recruited Kisoji for the job. Whatever happened next is unclear, but in the end 2 others died and Azeron, although heavily wounded got away.
Some days later Paajah meets with Snowbud at one of the warehouses. Although Snowbud was the one to betray Azeron, she was now pleading with Paajah not to do her friend any more harm. In exchange for the evidence kra had taken Paajah is prepared to spare Azeron. At least for the moment...
However these documents are already in the possesion of the Guards. Even if the documents are brought back to Paajah, copies have been made.
...
Around the same time Kisoji shows up at KNM to claim his reward. Baciko had told him that KNM was looking for new guards.
Ofcourse would hiring him lead to problems, this didn't stop Paajah from hiring Kisoji anyway.
Later that night, the first issues occured. At the end of the night he decided to go after Mishka
Baciko and Piephil went after them and Paajah followed soon too make clear she didn't want any of this going on on the roof of KNM.
While Piephil prepared to take Kisoji down, Kisoji managed to kill Baciko only to follw himself minutes after.
[Due to issues with the forum there may be some gaps in the story]
Guards continue to investigate Kor Neka Mansa
The guards have once again asked for help after the arrest of Kridore, a former staff member of the establishment. Once he finally was convinced that cooperation was the better option he started opening up.
He gave us 2 names to work with; for starters Filch, who according to him is the brains behind the operation. The second name he gave us is Shillek who appears to be more trusted by Paajah and seems to take care of lots of business deals for her. Kridore told us he is momentarily off traveling to manage some of these business deals, giving the guards a great opportunity to send in some more informants...
And these informants have no simple task as they are given a Metamorphosis potion that will temporarily transform them to look just like Shillek
In the meantime Paajah is working on a plan to evade the guard investigation..
While things escalated at KNM with Kisoji, Paajah also had a special visitor. Gonger had taken his potion of Metamorphosis and took on the challenge to try and get information from Paajah.
'Shillek' and Paajah talked about a businesscontact named Vernont. 'Shillek' kept reassuring her that he would make sure she would get the best deal possible, however what this 'deal' was about was never mentioned.
Besides information about this Vernont, Gonger could tell the guards about the following;
A girl called "The Snitch" wants an alliance with Paajah aswell.
KNM "acquired" a new guard, not unknow to the law : a certain Kisoji.
They are doing huge business in KNM, keeping all the money from the bets and also give items as reward when gamblers win, never money. He is sure that they must makes gain by millions because of this.
Gonger got away without raising suspicions, there were a few small moments that she noticed slight differences but with the chaos of the establishment around them she hardly the time to even think about this.
We still have 2 impersonations to go..
Gonger's rp and impersonation of Shillek was done very well... Looking forward to see more Shilleks visit soon
