I as a player have been emailing DEW things that I wanted Halee to do on the down low. Nothing that would victimize my fellow players, but things that some characters would possibly object to if they were aware due to their alignments.
To make things easier for DEW (because managing two parties and all of the open info is already difficult enough) I am going to post open and rely on everyone keeping player knowledge separate from character knowledge.
I will begin and end posts that are player knowledge with "((( )))"
(((So, Halee has made a new friend. She has made contact with a caravan guard who makes regular runs through here and she is hiring him to buy two items for her on the down low – A Veterinary Healers Kit and an Alchemy Kit. Halee has Craft: Alchemy. She has told the guard so long as he is discreet, she will have other purchases and rewards for him later on also.
She has paid and left word with Eldred to have her two boxes of Veterinary Kit delivered to her room if it arrives when we are all out smushing monsters. She does not want anyone to know she can Craft Alchemy just yet, and if nosy Eldred looks in the boxes, hopefully he does not recognize the Alchemy Kit, and hopefully the caravan guard is discreet.
Until she gets the Alchemy Kit, Halee has a -2 to Craft Alchemy checks, which I am willing to suck up until it arrives. Halee is making Blue Winnis poison during this weeks down time, two doses.
Halee plans to sow distrust, strife and infighting between the Castellan, the Curate and the Masters in hopes for an eventual opening to rob them blind and set free the slaves for good [in that order.] If there are deaths, so be it. The reason she was asking about the crops in common was the first step of that plan… She can make doses of Defoliant (one dose affects x10 5in squares) and use them to do false flag operations killing off the crops in common with the Masters to benefit Heinrich, framing him as taking unfair advantage and trying to profiteer at the expense of the Masters (Halee sees Heinrich as the REAL power that must be defeated in this area.)
Before all that happens, though… recall the Veterinary Healing Kit? She is going to use that during some future down time as a foot in the door, offering to do check ups on guard animals that everyone has, getting the guard animals used to her scent and feeding them treats as she checks up on them so they recognize her and associate her with rewards if she ever sneaks back in the dead of night; and maybe "innocently" learning some command words for them as well.
YES – Halee plans to make various poisons for different applications and plots to be figured out later…
This is all during down times when we are not smooshing monsters for the good of the area.)))
That is all WAY too much to expect DEW to keep up with in addition to everything else…
(((Risandor is only recently in on "most" of those plans, he knows all but the, "Rob them all blind," part.)))
