Report | The Fast and the Furious: Perivantium Drift

[wearyallalone]

SUBJECT: Operation "protect Solvara of the Broken Blades from the back of a moving chariot"
PARTICIPANTS: Clarisse and Vanya
CLASSIFICATION: Private to Commander Flint
DATE FILED: Backdated to Kingsway (with whatever the plural of mea culpa is OOC)
STATUS: Complete (ICly)
SUMMARY: Vanya and Clarisse went to Perivantium to try to protect a meeting of the Broken Blades during that city’s annual chariot race. Solvara, a key organization member, decided to enter the race; in order to help her survive, Vanya and Clarisse did too. Thanks to Clarisse’s excellent driving skills, Solvara lived, though she sustained a significant injury thanks to a close call during the event.

REPORT:

Commander Flint,

Our mission to Perivantium was a success in that, at least as of our departure, Solvara remains alive and the Broken Blades were able to convene their intended meeting under the cover of the chariot race and surrounding events. Much of the credit must go to Ser La Rue, whose skill with chariot driving was substantial and a true asset.

Unfortunately, the result was achieved somewhat by the skin of our teeth. Solvara sustained a serious shoulder injury from one of the attempts on her life. While I cannot be certain, based on what we observed, she was either the target of more than one attempt, or the target of an assassin with a strong penchant for contingency plans. We also think it possible, but were not able to confirm, that I may have been identified as an interloper. I suspect La Rue’s skill makes it less clear that she was out of place. The race itself was chaotic enough to be hard to assess. We were, however, able to confirm the meeting took place, and our departure from the city was quiet and unhindered.

Respectfully,
V. Orlov

NEXT STEPS: Solvara’s status as an assassination target is probably ongoing, though an opportunity as major as the chariot race may not re-emerge for some time. If resources are available, Riftwatch may want to help them determine who, specifically, wanted her dead, though presumably the Broken Blades are also working on this.

OOC extreme appreciation for this title, that's all

SOME TIME LATER;

[katabasis]

In the months following the work in Perivantium, Solvara is removed from her battlefront position to act as a sort of aide-de-camp. This is nominally a reward for her bravery and resilience in the chariot race, but may also have something to do with the wounds she sustained making her less than entirely fighting fit. No matter the motivation, Solvara finds herself in a prime position for passing along certain otherwise well guarded Tevinter military secrets both to the Broken Blades and, sometimes, to Riftwatch.

((ooc: See the current war table for Solvara's related intelligent work; she can be utilized in the future of an agent in the field for plot device purposes.))
