SUBJECT: Intercept a caravan full of payroll on its way to a Tevene mining operation
PARTICIPANTS: Marcus, Gwenaelle, Ellis, Abby, Jude, Vanya
CLASSIFICATION: Private to Commander Flint
DATE FILED: Backdated to Kingsway
STATUS: Abandoned
SUMMARY: At the request of the Broken Blades, Riftwatch sent a team to intercept a payroll caravan headed for a mining site in the Hundred Pillars. The plan was to find it, rob it, and do so with minimal implication towards Riftwatch's involvement. The money was then to be split between the Broken Blades and Riftwatch. Torrential rains, however, impacted the mission severely, during the resulting mud slides, only some of the payroll was able to be recovered. The team agreed to distribute what they had to the drop off.

REPORT:

Commander Flint,

We were unsuccessful in recovering the full amount of the payroll. Due to poor weather, the roads were heavily impacted by mudslides, and in the ensuing confrontation, one wagon was lost to the elements. We were able to collect what I have approximated to be a third of the wealth.

This was delivered to the drop off point. The meeting was brief but gratitude was extended our way.

There were no survivors, and the most logical conclusion that the mine's operators would draw is that their payroll was swept away in the downpour. This is, after all, half true.

- Marcus


NEXT STEPS: More work with the Broken Blades, in which they could extend us more tips and we could get the money we were hoping to collect.
