[GM EVENT] Kor Neka Mansa

[iridia]

Last week we started  of with Dilihin's impersonation of Shillek. Since he had seen the real Shillek only days before and had heard  that he would be visiting Gugrontid the chance Shillek would show up in Ojaveda was very slim. However he counted on the fact that Paajah would be at KNM, this was not the case, instead Morrquea seemed to be in charge.
This made it a lot harder to get information that would actually help the investigation. Even though Paajah had left instructions for Morrquea, she had really no idea what Paajah was up to.


(Shillek at the Plaza) (Dilihin as Shillek)

He did make some obeservations, not only didi he notice the lack of visitors it also seemed more empty than usual.
Also Kisoji was no longer working at the establishment and it seemed Paajah had no intentions to find a replacement.

The next day Dilihin returned, this time as himself and he maneged to get Paajah to hire him for behind the bar.
That day Paajah was also approached by Mishka who had some suspicions about Shillek and she claimed to have seen Gonger morph back to his dwarven-self.
After all that had happened Paajah agreed on hiring Mishka to find out more about this. Starting inmediately by asking Anjabi, Shillek's sister, all kinds of questions. Before Anjabi left Paajah and Mishka told her to send a message to Shillek that a mysterious fenki would like to meet him.



Besides receiving a strange message from an unknown person named 'Evirea' the evening was quite uneventful.

That would all change the next day when it was Tuatanach's turn to impersonate Shillek. This time Paajah was running KNM again and even some games at the Roulette where there were some lucky winners that night.


(Tuathanach as Shillek)

However, as soon as 'Shillek' entered everything changed; Mishka who was there to welcome him with her flirting (she was all over him) and a 'Spiked Twisted Emerald' (as if a Twisted Emerald really needs that).
However Shillek wasn't very interested in any of her attention nor the Twisted Emerald and Mishka really was not happy about this.
This is why she turned to rougher measures and moments later she smacked Tuatanach against his head with a mug and he went down. Even Paajah was thrown of guard by this and if it hadn't been for Sasheyra there'd be no rope to tie him up.
As Paajah started to tie him up she quickly managed to hand the rope to another fenki (Nimemoe) who finished tying Tuatanach up.
In the meantime no one seemed to really have noticed Dilihin was sending messages by Groffel; those messages turned out to be to the guards.

It was when they had just taken a package from Tuatanach that the guards made their entry in the establishment. Paajah's reaction was quick and effective, she casted a spell and moments later she had disappeared through a secret door.

Lile, Syenna, Dilihin, Sasheyra and Mishka were arrested and put in jail where they all were interrogated seperately. They all received a chance to make a deal for inmediate release, all they needed to do was tell the guards what they knew about KNM and the escaped leader Paajah.

Lile and Syenna, who were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time could give very little info and the guards realised they were of no value for the investigation. They were free to go.
Dilihin was recognized as one of the special informants and after promising to deliver his report asap he was free to go as well.

Now it were Sasheyra and Mishka who would be interrogated, which lead to some difficult conversations as both seemed reluctant to cooperate. If you'd take their word for it, there was no wrong doing by Paajah.. At all and if there had been, they were awfully vague about that. If it weren't for Sasheyra's statement that Paajah paid very well you'd think the volunteers were lining up to do her dirty work.

Mishka's refusal to cooperate got her some extra jailtime Sasheyra was released after her statement about the payments.

The following day Mogrrim (Guard) gathered a group of volunteers to help find Paajah. They searched in Ojaveda and soon found Paajah hiding in a tent. Also they soon found that there was a second appearance of Paajah..
As they chased Paajah around in Ojaveda they finally managed to do enough damage to make it impossible for her to keep the illusion up.


(Paajah in hiding)

When they finally manage to get her into a corner there is a short exchange of spells and suddenly Paajah's wounds weaken her so much she morphs and everyone finds themselves looking at a Akkaio menki with a scruffy appearance, a total opposite of Paajah's normal appearance.
There was quite a bit of confusion from that moment on; but Mogrrim went ahead with the arrest and she or he was in jail moments later.
Just before Paajah disappeared to jail 'The Snitch' showed up and she had a message for Paajah about Azeron. This inmediately raised suspicions with the guards and she was sent to jail as well.


(Paajah or not?)

In jail there was quite a bit of chaos, since Mishka was still there Paajah made some suggestions that it wasn't Mishka who had beaten up Tuathanach and got out a Mind glyph as if to make a point.
In the meantime 'The Snitch' managed to get a box to Paajah that apparently stolen from KNM by Azeron. Paajah was quite happy to have this box back as it contains an amulet that was in his/her pack for a very long time.

Since 'The Snitch' was not responsible for the assault on Azeron or the killings that preceeded the assault.
Also Mishka was released...

Paajah is currently in jail awaiting trial.. Or at least who we believe to be Paajah

[MishkaL1138]

I don't recall being offered a deal to get released... I was ready to give fake information about Paajah's whereabouts!

[iridia]

But you did beat up poor Tuathanach...

[Mariana Xiechai]

I have to admit this is a very confusing read for me, since both of the characters mentioned that are "mine" did neither of those things. 

Snitch makes sense, I suppose. Evirea's message, though? How odd! I guess we'll have to wait and see!

[Candy]

Guess someone figured it can't be that hard to forge a doctor's handwriting...

[Mariana Xiechai]

Guess someone figured it can't be that hard to forge a doctor's handwriting...

Bah hahahahahaha!

[MishkaL1138]

But you did beat up poor Tuathanach...

In my defense, 1) he had it coming, 2) he refused my drink, 3) he was spying on us, 4) I didn't know he was spying on us and 5) I don't recall there being a law forbidding to beat up people in a barfight, albeit one-sided.

Kridore Released from Prison


Kor Neka Mansa staffmember Kridore has been released from prison by the Octarchal Guard. After months being locked up after assaulting a citizen and disturbing the public under influence he seems to get off easy now his boss Paajah has been captured.

Kor Neka Mansa Staff Seen at the Ojaveda Bazaar


A staffmember [Morrquea] from Kor Neka Mansa was seen at the Ojaveda Bazaar where she opened up a booth to play a gambling game. While she was rushing away after hearing someone call for guards, she mentioned something about "...more games in our den outside Ojaveda...".

Paajah's Trial


Paajah's trial will be held soon at the courthouse in Hydlaa. But is it Paajah who has been arrested or is it just a sneaky trick?
Saturday, March 7th 21:00 UTC

[iridia]

The last time most will have heard about Paajah or Kor Neka Mansa was most likely when she was supposed to stand trial. Due to all the confusion at the time about the identity of the menki Amidison decided the trial could not be held.
However she did not release the menki who then said his name was Bhurrash, but decided that he would remain in jail until the real Paajah was caught.

Morrquea, who took Paajah's place at Kor Neka Mansa was devastated to hear this news, luckily she already was in contact with some old friends and invited them to their new den.

Plans were made, schemes prepared and new allies recruited....

"Taulim wakes up in the grass between a few houses not for from the Barracks, his head hurts and he has no idea what he is doing there. Confused he rubs his head as he tries to remember what happened to him. While his head pounds he tries to retrace his steps and after a few minutes he remembers the cloaked fenki. She gave him a bottle that he happily accepted because he was thirsty at the time, the last thing he remembers doing is taking some good sips from that bottle before heading off on patrol...

Hours had passed and the other Guards had returned to the barracks after fighting the Azure mage. Clearly something was wrong, soon it became clear to Taulim why that fenki had been so kind to him..."

The next day the Guards are seen at the East Gate and the East Passage, they are stopping citizens and are looking for anyone possibly connected to Kor Neka Mansa. Curious citizens are told that Bhurrash and another, not identified, member of Kor Neka Mansa have escaped from jail...

Is this another scheme intended to confuse everyone or was Bhurrash really Paajah after all?
