Desc: There are no phone calls in the Ul'dahn gaol but with the right about of bribery a message might slip out. The note passed along to Evaleigh De'loncre about the imprisonment of an ally who needs help being freed. Resolution: Evaleigh agrees to take on the case. She manages to negotiate a transfer of the prisoner to more agreeable lodgings and have his case taken before the magistrate. Though the evidence against her ally seems rather grim and his freedom might be a temporary stay. A note was sent to Evaleigh De'loncre from a prisoner accused of treason and smuggling for the Garleans. Lost in the Right Place Desc: Hired by Evaleigh as a measure of scouting and information gathering, a young Miqo'te is given the task to listen and observe outside the Magistrate's office. Resolution: A report of the comings and goings at what time is provided. Promises of additional cookies are given if the Miqo'te repeats this act for the next few weeks. Evaleigh has been bribing street rats in Ul'dah with cookies to stand around and count guards. Checkpoint Abuse! Desc: A trade company has been suffering at the hands of greedy Blades of late who have taken to fleecing their caravans and taking goods in the name of "contraband". While recognized that as representatives of "law and order" killing these men is grounds for being labelled bandits perhaps a different lesson... and relieve them of something they hold dear. Their armor. A representative of the trade company will pay rather handsomely for the Brass Blade's armor and the satisfaction they had to walk all the way to Ul'dah in their namesday suits and explain what happened to their superiors.. Overseeing: Twilight Rose (Arielle) Participating: Ana (Van's alt), Arch and Jet Resolution: A dubious plan was put into motion with Ana and Archael posing as traveling traders hired to provide a honey pot for would-be thieves tried to beguile the two brass blades while Jet snuck in behind. Hilarity ensued with a plan that very nearly went sideways when Jet's cover was blown but a new story was quickly made up and Arch "captured" Jet. They offered to share expensive whiskey with the soldiers but when they became suspicious things went from violent to confusing. In the end two brass blade armor sets were obtained. In addition the quick thinking of Ana she managed to uncover a good amount of stolen goods. Best efforts would be made to reunite the goods with their original owners but what was not would be used for good purposes. Except the drugs, those vanished. The Roegadyn involved in the Highbridge heist was seen a week later treating all her friends to rounds of drinks at the Whispered Wish brothel. She even bought one young man his 'first time' with a pretty Miqo'te girl. The Docket Swap Desc: A small team of covert operatives will be given a set of fake documents that they must swap out with the real ones inside the Vizier's office. As expected when it comes to the Divan, the group responsible for overseeing matters of law within Ul'dah, it's heavily guarded. The plan would be, unless a better one is proposed, for 1-2 people to pose as members of the Brass Blades to stand post at the door and allow the thiefs entrance. The thieves would then be able to slip inside, find the mentioned docket, replace it and get out before the time is up and without disturbing anything "extra". Overseeing: Evaleigh / Arielle (OOC) Participating: Mikha Namaliyo, Shelyna Arah, Vox Aminah, Miyara Yaeger, Tobias Reed Resolution: In the stolen Brass Blade armor Vox and Shelyna performed a shift change with the two guards on duty. Mikha guarded the door while inside Miyara's theatrics convinced the Secretary to question his life choices and abandon his post in search of a drink. With all the witnesses dealt with except the unconscious Highlander in his cell Miyara and Tobias searched the Magistrate's office. In spite the spill of some books onto the floor the two managed to investigate and deduce the whereabouts of the dossier and successfully swap them. Outside the Highlander made a scene but Vox and Shelyna's quick thinking along with Mikha letting them know what was coming they convinced the local blades the Highlander had tried to attack them while being fed. No one believed the lunatic and all made it out without a hitch. The Highlander being held on drug charges went crazy and attacked a guard! Hear she really gave him what was coming to him! The magistrate's secretary hates his job and wishes you would all go away. The highlander was left alive in his cell but all his professions of thieves were not heeded, after all he also accused Brass Blades of attempted murder. Clearly the man was out of his mind. Gudo Budo was caught smuggling drugs and what was worse trying to do so without cutting the Syndicate in. Gudo Budo is the name on the docket that was swapped out with the one in the Magistrate's office The magistrate has a safe where he keeps ledgers about bribes and other illegal dealings, a mountain of criminal evidence not being utilized because it benefits his allies. The next morning the criminal known as Gudo Budo had the charges of treason and consorting with Garleans added to his list of charges. The previous suspect was released from custody and his name stricken from the records having ever been arrested as per the agreement with his representative.
