An Odd Job Desc: Several transferred Ul'dahn prisoners have gone missing and the boss is interested in discovering their fate. Kukufeni is looking for *a few* people to check out a lead and resolve the situation discreetly; in particular a woman named Miera Overseeing: Diadae (as GM) Participating: Orchard, Shimomi, L'uth Resolution: The team of Orchard, Shimomi and L'uth journeyed to the mines and discovered that the woman Kukufeni was looking for was not at the mine. In addition to freemen working at the Nanawa Mines, non-violent criminals are also sent to work there. Prisoners are rotated out frequently, roughly every moon. The mines are grueling, backbreaking labor but in spite this women and the elderly prisoners are sometimes sent to the mines. The mines are a lucrative business for Ul'dah, especially after the Calamity A year ago, a group of prisoners went "missing" from the mines; Including a woman named Miera Two guards were killed in the escape along with 1 prisoner who died from a severed foot. The Overseer and the Warden tried to cover up the missing prisoners in order to avoid Flames involvement. There is quip pro quo going on between the Warden and the Overseer. It is in their best interest nobody from the government investigates for fear of being discovered. Side Investigation Desc: In spite Kukufeni's honesty, Diadae has got the bright idea that since so many people have been lying to her she should double-check the findings from Kukufeni's men and has hired a couple of investigators to look into the matter. Resolution: The investigators have turned up information about the "lost paperwork" and the Warden's corruption. They've also identified a number of leads from old prisoners that were working the mines at the time of the "incident" Participating: Jinh'a Wolndara, Caledon Carver The Warden has been cooking the books to receive greater funds for the number of prisoners he oversees even when they are missing. "Stumpy" a Roegadyn prisoner recently released now working at Coasta del Sol confirmed that two guards were slain and there was a coverup about it. "Rat", a Highlander identified as released not long after the incident has been "missing" since his release however it is rumored he was on the cleanup crew that buried the dead guards. He is the most viable lead for information. Diadae is going behind Kukufeni's back trying to secure information. The Whisper Broker Desc: A shady information broker has something to sell Kukufeni. Resolution: The information broker named 'Lex' showed up at the Company Manor looking to sell information. From here it was gleaned that the Overseer got a few of the prisoners to help cover up the murder of 2 guards and the escape of 3 prisoners a year ago. The guards were buried in the old cemetery north of Drybone. It was also learned that one of the prisoners named 'Rat' has been seen hanging out at Lost Hope. These two leads will need to be followed up on in the coming days. Participating: Kukufeni, R'heeza 'Lex' is a young, dark-haired Miqo'te that sold information to Kukufeni. She can be found at the 'Silver Bazaar'. The "Rat" has been located at Lost Hope, fitting since he was originally locked up for smuggling Somnus. The overseer bribed some members of the Oussary to bury the dead guards in the cemetary north of Drybone False paperwork was filed to avoid suspicion and investigation by the Immortal Flames so they never got the intel. Cemetary Shakeup Desc: Kukufeni was recently given some sensitive information regarding his missing person of interest at the Mines. He's looking to send a few people out to check out the various leads. Participating: Batu Dotharl, Lisenne Boroux, L'uth Leha, Bato Namato In a shallow, unmarked grave 3 men were mass buried in the cemetary--well as far away from the Church as one could be and still be in the cemetary. The guards were expertly and clealy killed. The Roegadyn died by decapitation the other two were pierced through the chest.. The guards were stripped of their armor before burial with the exception of 1 man who had a broken piece of a lance still in his chest. The lance was expertly made, high quality. A dragoon weapon. Had the mark of a unicorn on it. Lisenne identified it as belonging to House Fortemps The guards were killed by an Ishgardian knight, a member of a High House. Why?? Who knows.
