<strong>It's the day after the first meeting at the inn.  Various underworld players, who are either familiar with Asleod, or some others of his ill-reputed group of thieves and murderers, know that something is up.  Thus, everyone who is anyone in the Underground is sharpening their knives and waiting for the profits to begin.  Following the Scoundrel's month and the full Dark Moon which heralded the end of that, next is the Harvest month graced by the Green Moon.  It's known to the Underground, however, as the 'Month of the Fat Purses' as people get into festive mood thanks to all the harvest celebrations occurring through the month, even if they are often subdued affairs for the lower classes.</strong><br/>(http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/252/8484153.jpg)(http://www.karlrobinson.co.uk/catimages/ladies%20bag%20thumb6.jpg)<br/><br/>The largest and most central of Asleod's safehouses was fronted by a master craftsman.  This particular shop catered to leather goods, and had a rather expansive basement and attic, where several rooms were set up which weren't exactly standard for a shop of this kind.  One of the basement rooms, in particular, was very conductive to secret meetings.<br/><br/>Quite a few movers and shakers in the underground had occasionally left word to Asleod's and Alexander's contacts, that they were interested in forming closer relations now that they were obviously planning something big.  Asleod's hideouts were well-chosen, though.  Neither the authorities nor other underworld players had sniffed them out as of yet.  In the case of this one, the craftsman and his apprentices were longtime friends of Asleod, so it was relatively safe, and easily the largest and most accomodating of current safehouses.  Obviously the shopkeeper here didn't know the location of the other hideouts, however.  Asleod hadn't gotten his reputation by being a fool.<br/><br/>After checking that the place was in order to house some members of his new crew, should they wish to bunk here, he'd taken off to check on how preparations were coming in their noble quarters, leaving a note that he'd be back here before evening.  He'd left a stack of his maps regarding the part of the sewers and streets where their first job was going down in three days.<br/><br/>(OOC: This is the "Underworld side" thread of the game.  When/if you need to switch over to the other thread, please make a clear OOC notation like this to keep everyone posted where your character is about.  Now then, the game is officially open in Chapther 1, so good hunting!)
