The General steps into the room, with several stern-faced soldiers, armed to the teeth.
"My lady Duchess, and Duchess Mother," General Blackpool says with a bow. (Nora arches an eyebrow his term of address for her.) "These will be your bodyguards. They will see that no harm will come to you from that criminal scum."
"Thank you, good sir," Duchess Anastasia says. Nora grunts, but makes no objection.
"I will fill the General in on the plan," the Duke says. "Why don't you three go look for some ideas on where Julia is being kept?"

"It seems we have another problem and we hope you might be able to help us," Daos says. "Is there a place where we can speak privately?"

Draft thinks for a second, then says "Come on," and leads the group into the kitchen. The only other person there is Ragdoll, one of his men, who is cooking some soup.
"Cover your ears, Ragdoll," he jokes. "This is secret business."
"So, what is it?" Draft asks.

Daos explains the situation. "It seems that the duke's daughter, Lady Julia, has been kidnapped and is being held hostage by the Night Hydras. We're hoping that in your various dealings with them, you might have some inkling of where they might be holding her."

Draft frowns. "I've only been here in town for a week...I've already told you everything I know. But I can get the boys to look into it. Sound good?"

Draft taps his fingers on the counter. "...well, Lurky Lowlen, at the Retired Pirate--from what I've heard, he knows everything that goes on in town. Though he seems eager to keep the status quo...you might need to coerce him, somehow."

"Is there anything you can tell us about this Lurky that might be of use in negotiations?" Daos asks.

"Once again, from what I've heard, Lurky loves the town. And he keeps the rival gangs from outright killing each other, too. If you can convince him that this kidnapping will make the Dragons, or the Duke, or whoever to take drastic action..."
