Whisper in the Trees
NotW XXXI: Evening Three
----------
The council piled into the voting chambers as the last remnants of the sun dipped below the horizon. Pleasantly surprised that no body had presented itself to them in a terribly gruesome fashion, the councilors set down to business at once.
Niklas was looking much better today, as if his scars had been completely healed. He had, however, clearly developed new ones that had clearly only recently burst open of their own accord (although in smaller numbers). Whatever it was that he was suffering from, it had not given up despite his rapid recovery.
The assassination attempts had been successful - so said the word from Lanun lands. Even now the Lanun people were rapidly converting to other faiths - something that was unlikely to go unnoticed amongst the more faithful of the councilors.
Before anything could be attended to, however, it was discovered that two councilors were indeed missing - j65 and Nictel. A worried murmur swept through the crowd, as speculation grew about their location and all real progress towards real work was lost. After about five minutes, it was decided that several guards would be sent to find the two missing councilors.
J65 was the first to be found, helped into the chambers by two of the Undercouncil guards. A large, bloodied arrow was held in his left hand, and a bloody wound in his chest revealed where it had come from. Having bandaged it himself, he shrugged off the guards with irritation once he was in the chamber, and hobbled over to his seat with a wheeze.
J65 is now injured.
The news on Nictel was not so encouraging. The guards come back only clutching a scroll, and trembling in fear. They told a story about how they had found his corpse not but five blocks from the entrance to the secret council voting chambers, lying with its throat slit in a gutter with a small army of rats gnawing on it. Evidence had apparently been planted on his body that revealed...
The only thing that had been recovered was a Map of the Hazlett Underworld. It would be voted on.
The Priest of Winter executed the night before was shown to have nothing of interest aside from a somewhat large stockpile of gold on him. Together with the Broker's personal savings, the amount that would be voted on today was an astonishing 35 and a Half Gold
