FORM: sending crystal
SENDER: Seneschal Salvio Pizzicagnolo
RECIPIENT: the Inquisition
WHAT: there's been a murder
WHEN: Cloudreach, shortly before the Conclave to choose the next Divine
WHERE: the Gallows
NOTES: happy election


This is-- Salvio Pizzicagnolo, seneschal to the Inquisition's base in Kirkwall and Head of Base Operations. And there is-- news, from Val Royeaux. Ill news. On the heels of all else-- [Wincing. Please no more on what else has been discussed, which Salvio has been trying not to think too hard about.

Best to just. Say it.]


Grand Cleric Agathe of Cumberland has been killed. On the road to the Conclave. One of the candidates. A prominent candidate, who enjoyed much support.

The Grand Cleric's absence will be felt upon the ballot. Votes from the Conclave that would have been hers will go elsewhere. Doubtless there will be an investigation. Her, it-- it was no accident. As her supporters, and those closer, have said.

Some--strife, is to be expected. In Nevarra, and among her supporters, who will seek to and-- certainly, among those that might seize upon the opportunity, or make some claim, to own this--deed. The Conclave will take place as scheduled. And the Inquisition--

[His voice falters, just a little.]

The Inquisition is-- urging caution. Please. For questions, there will be but few answers. There is--no decision yet, as to the Divine, or--any part of it. News will be shared, as it is learned.

[Somewhere: an approving (and exceptionally jaunty) snap of the fingers.]

Ooh, disguises and petty international intrigue in the face of the pending apocalypse. I like it.

What's your name? I'll put you on the books.

Von? I don't know that I've ever known a Von before. Very sporty.

It's part of the surname.

Oh? [The picture (sound?) of innocence.] Then I retract my earlier statement. I've known all kinds of Von-whatevers. Shall I hope we never get a second Van Skreadder, or would you like to provide a more complete record?

[Boo hiss etc.]

Veeery well. Be ready with your silver piece when someone takes credit if they aren't a dodgy turncoat, Mrs. Skreadder.

[The labored sigh of someone forced to scratch 'Mrs' out on their ledger.]

If you insist.
