"The longer they hide in the city, the longer business suffers. I'm an...interested party, you could say. Once they're gone and restrictions are down, my profits will go back up."
"Profits from where, I wonder," Meine mutters.

"How exactly would this plan of yours work?" Daos asks, wondering how trustworthy this guy really is. "You say you can get Cryfold to return to Smolt tonight somehow?"

"I'll get a rumor to them--that Smolt said, 'Lockdown or no lockdown, I'm sailing tonight--if I get my pay.' They're desperate, especially the Count. They'll take the bait."
It's hard to tell how reliable he is. He's definitely sketchy, but there's no telling if he's the all right sort of sketchy, or the backstabbing sort of sketchy.

"How will you get a rumor to them?" Daos asks. "Do you know where they are now?"

"Indeed. In fact, I was planning on telling you the location outright--but laying a trap will be much less risky."

"Would you mind if I have a minute to discuss this with my colleagues?" Daos asks.

"Draft, do you have somewhere we can speak privately for a few moments? And would you mind joining us?" Daos asks.

Qurrak meanwhile looked over the physical overview of the place, searching potential hideouts, making sure no one sneak nor listen to them ----

Qurrak's search turns out to be in vain, as Draft says, "Come on, we'll use the kitchen."
"Fetch me a drink while you're in there, ok?" Nichols says with a smirk. Meine rolls her eyes.
Draft shuts the door after the three enter. "So, what's your take on this?"

"I was actually about to ask you the same thing," Daos says to Draft. "Do you know this guy? You've been in town longer than we have, I had hoped you might know something about him."

Draft scratches his beard. "I've not met him. But he seems like he's a gang member. And the ruling family of the Scarlet Dragons, the Embershards, are Tieflings. Stands to reason the Dragons are protecting the rogue nobles, and he's not happy with that arrangement."

"That would track with what he's said so far," Daos agrees. "Hmm, I suppose we can go along with this. I can't think of any reason he's lying. If he wanted to protect Cryfold, he could just warn her about the trap, and we'd never know about it. What do the rest of you think?"

'Well. At worst, I can punish anyone who try to fool us' Qurrak say, trying to sound tough.

Meine nods uneasily. "Yeah. I wouldn't trust him, generally, but like you said, he doesn't have a reason to lie."
"And like he said," Draft adds, pointing to Qurrak. "If he springs a counter-trap, you'll be more than prepared to combat it."
Draft exits the kitchen and curtly tells Nichols, "They accept. Get the rumor to them, and they'll be ready to spring the trap."
"I'll do just that," he says with a curt bow.
"You oughta tell the king's men. Prepare for tonight," Draft advises as Nichols leaves.
