<strong><span class="bbc_u"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;">One Month Later</span></span></strong><br/><br/>Shadowspire recovered quickly from the trolgre attack all those weeks ago.  The only known survivors were found and dispatched by the Silverwings, though having found more than the reported 2 who'd fled there's a good chance these creatures will pop their heads out again in the future.  Maybe not Shadowspire thanks to the troubleshooting group living within the city walls but somewhere.<br/>(Darian had rescued the women being carried off but ignored the trolgres who'd captured them in the first place)<br/><br/>Each of your businesses turned a profit of some kind and provided the perfect places for some of the rescued women to visit and offer any reward they could.  Most often they offered their bodies but a couple had enough coin to offer instead.  Akari and Kaname were visited by male siblings who offered gold more often than anything else...though Kaname had great difficulty ignoring the fact that so many men were offering their thanks and many were reasonably attractive during the first week after the attack.<br/>(Nevine got an extra 200g via Lucrezia, as did Akari but the grateful men paid her directly.  The male characters got up to 200g from grateful women, less if they indulged themselves with said women)<br/><br/>Each character earned 10,000 gold for their services and their cohorts were paid an additional 5,000 gold.  Tallianni is much less greedy than almost anyone else so she made sure everyone got extra, even if they showed up later or didn't actually defeat any trolgres themselves.<br/><br/><br/>Most threats the city guards can handle, some by adventurers, but today each of you have been invited to a moderately sized tavern called The Cellar.  It's something of a neutral ground for everyone to meet in and is closest to the southern gate.<br/><br/>All of you recognize Leane, the captain of the cities special guard, as you arrive one by one or in small groups.  She's wearing a nice dress so most of you barely recognize her when she waves you over, she's almost always in her armor after all.  She ordered before you arrived and serving girls have already laid out half the plates for everyone.  This is probably something important otherwise you would have gotten a messenger calling you someplace more...befitting her station than a middle class tavern.
