Action by Duarte

Who can you trust? Who knows. These troubled times? Pfff.....Luckily, though, we have definitely untrustworthy Lycenes who know all about how untrustworthy sorts act, and look. It is coming in handy. Duarte uses his years' long experience as an intelligence operative for House Pravus to set up a small task force of wiley Lycenes (and a prodigal - but the best prodigal - Alistair) to conduct a counter-espionage sting across the main ports of Setarco.

The initial reports (clue 21465) were certainly inconclusive, but our Archduke is wise to insist on follow-up and a closer look in these days before the siege. This group of folk will use their combined skill-sets to lay stake-out of suspected infiltrators and pounce like hunting tigers on any suspicious sort, removing them from the front lines and politely asking them questions and their intentions and orders over tea.... <.< (They'll probably be arrested and tortured for information)

Basically we're going to stake out the docks and beat the sh*** out of suspected traitors until they sing like canaries.


Action by Alistair

The High Inquisitor, and now Prince of House Velenosa, is not keen on making a repeat of the infiltration of Arx that resulted in the death of Lord Killian Ashford and Dame Zhayla. Using his particular skills and nose for those who carry the taint of the Abyss, he and his Confessors will make the rounds through the newly arrived Prodigals of Setarco, questioning them to make sure none in the midsts intends to do harm as the battle for Setarco nears. At the same time, Alistair knows the difficulty and pain of coming out of the wilds and joining Civilization as a prodigal. Those who assist and both in rooting out dangers and in assisting in the war effort and excuirty of Setarco will be rewarded and elevated. Alistair will not tolerate those who abuse the kindness of the Compact, but those who embrace that kindness in turn should be prized.


Action by Saoirse

Saoirse isn't really a "sit at the docks and beat 'em" kinda gal. So her tactic is a little different. She plans to go after those arrested, or those pointed out, and lure them into providing information. Using her intellect, her wit, her charm, and even her status as a princess, she will manipulate the infiltrators into telling her what she wants to know.


Result

There's not a lot of infiltration going on in the city of Setarco. The enemy forces clearly don't care what's going on in the city right now, so much as what's going on just outside the city gates while they throw all sorts of enemies against them. Still, the three manage to ensure that the people within the city are safe from the Gyre's agents, and that's a pretty impressive thing with everything else going on.
