((Okay - anyone who wants to examine the ring on the table, make me a History or Streetwise check, as well as an Insight check, which will come into play if the first check is successful))<br/><br/>Dante nodded, acknowledging the party's decision, then turned to his desk and pulled a folder from his desk.  Inside the folder were several parchments, and it soon became apparent that the parchments were clippings from the Firelight Inquisitive - a very localized publication run by an excoriated matron of House Sivis.  It was well known for its mostly reliable coverage of the seedier side of Sharn, coverage that was often considered undesirable in the larger, more reputable news sources.<br/><br/>"This folder contains the reports of every death that follows the pattern we saw with poor Pidge," Dante says, tapping the folder on the desk, "Best my sources can tell, whoever is behind this started off targeting low-life johns down in the cogs - gents and the rare lady known to frequent copper-whores and not afraid of what they might catch doing so.  At first, it was random, but about three months back, it seemed to start getting organized, and the first prostitute victim came up.  Could be, whoever is responsible is tryin' to recruit help, and killin' those that refuse."<br/><br/>He nodded towards the ring on the desk, still not touching it.<br/><br/>"Not sure what that's all about," he said, "but then, I've never paid much attention to jewelry.  Could be related, could be the last bit of payment the poor lass got before someone got her.  I'm open to your opinions.  My own is that there is someone out there driving this - I've heard that there is a real nasty piece of work pimping girls and guys alike that has been recruiting a lot heavier than usual.  He's a dwarf by the name of Raego, and he works Lower Dura.  Could be behind this, and at the very least, would know who was competing for Undersharn Citizen of the Year."<br/><br/>"So here's my thoughts - I'm not gonna press you one way or another, but I want this thing stopped.  Go about doing that how you will - might be you could find more clues, might be you want to infiltrate Raego's little collection, either as a john or hired help...could be you know more than I do and have a better grasp on where to head.  Regardless, I want this ended quick - report back to me by next Far, and we'll go from there.  Any questions?"
