    Raffy the Sparrowhawk

    Raffy chuckles. "The Raggedy Monk," he says.

    Once the peasant-messenger is clear of them, he says to the others: "Our murderer is a defector, then. Remember Pilserier said Puderbrand was left out to dry? His Court didn't want him to keep acting. He kept goin' on his own, and they gave him no gold, no help... whoever sends these notes wants us to stop the ones who are in league with Puderbrand, the ones who are still drawing attention to them. But they know about the tunnels, meaning they're part of whatever group runs 'em. So our tipster is the Court, trying to get us to finish off their old bedmates for 'em."

    He pauses.

    "Heh, that's why they give us secret messages instead of just reporting this information to the Guard. They're the greater of two evils, the subtler ones, the smarter half."

    'I wouldnt have much faith in the guards at the moment, would you?'

    He moves over and studies the poster, using his finger he reads out loud as he runs it under the words. When he is finished he looks to Illiiya with a grin on his face. 'Look, I can read well now!'

    Heading out of Judge’s Square, the party made their way back towards Wishbone Street, and the strange jumble of architecture it called a theatre. Finding their way in by the same unobstrusive side-entrance as before, they found Vanya’s room, the candle-light and that leaked under the door indicating the playwright was in.

    Knocking, the door was opened by Vanya himself – recognising his guests, he smiled rather too broadly, the expression looking rather out-of-place on his naturally melancholic face. Behind him, a slight man was sitting in a second chair, long fingers intertwined in a nervous cat’s-cradle of reddened knuckles. He looked up at the newcomers’ entrance: his face was pale and drawn, dark circles under his eyes. He wore expensive-looking clothes, albeit ones that had perhaps seen more wear than was proper - his short beard gave the same impression, something that had once been neatly-trimmed but had not been properly attended to in some time. His light eyes flicked from face to face, never seeming to rest long in one place.

    “This is Mr Lenkster,” said Vanya, with a surplus of joviality in his voice. “You see, you ask it of me, I bring him for you! We are all friends here.” Raffy thought he caught a sideways glance at Illiiya in the Kislevite’s creased-up eyes. “Felix, these are Maria’s friends.”

    Okay, how to start? Smoothly, I suppose.

    Pieter gave Lenkster a polite smile and made sure to block the mandrake man's view of Raffy's blunderbuss.

    "Good morning, herr Lenkster... may I call you Felix? I'm Pieter."

    He paused to watch the man's reaction.

    "My friends and I are doing a little job for the town, and we have reasons to believe you could be of precious assistance. Are you interested to discuss? I know a good tavern..."

    He did not mention the murder investigation. No need to scare the man.

    Lenkster coughed. There was a definite undercurrent of nerves in his body language.

    “Um – uh, yes, Dmitri told me you wanted to talk about the, uh, murders.” He licked his dry lips. “Here’s good. To be honest, I – I don’t quite understand what it is you think I know.”

    Raffy the Sparrowhawk

    Raffy sits on the edge of the desk. He draws his broadsword and sets it across his lap, the hilt clunking too heavily on the wood beside him. He smiles warmly at Vanya as the man reports that they are all friends.

    From his pocket he takes out a whetstone, which he begins to whisk down the blade.

    Fssssssst.

    "Don't mind me," he says to Pieter and Vanya.

    "Rafale... When we have more time, we need to talk."

    With a deep sigh, Pieter tried to resume the conversation as if nothing had happened.

    "Honestly, Felix," he admitted apologetically, "we don't know either how you can help us. But, uh, your name was mentioned to us. Perhaps by mistake... perhaps not. We're as puzzled as you are."

    He turned to the others: "Shall we show him?"

    Lothar slouched against the doorway, looking for all the world like hired muscle- dumb, armed, and dangerous. His decent clothing probably didn't do wonders for that impression, and for the first time in a long while the former soldier wondered if he ought to be wearing his old uniform. Then again, two swords and a shield were probably more intimidating than anything else about him.

    He fumbled in his belt for his pouch of tobacco and pipe- finding them, he lit up.

    "Someone's sending us anonymous notes," explained Pieter, handing Lenkster the two papers. "They don't mention your name, but... uh... we think they could be about you. No offense meant."

    He forced a smile.

    "Don't worry, Felix. It's not you I'm interested in, but rather the author of these notes."

    Illiiya Jaelrae

    Illiiya stuck close to the group, and seemed to be the only one NOT irritated by Raffy's display. But then, she seemed fairly distracted this morning, and the steady grinding of stone on blade helped her focus... keeping her pretty firmly in the real world. At least, she thought it did.

    I'm interested in you. Illiiya said upon the heels of Pieter's words, seemingly oblivious to the double meaning of her words, Mr. Vanya was very uncooperative when we spoke to him at first... and that does not look good. Either he had something to hide... or something against non humans.

    She looked about the room idly, wavering in her confidence for a moment before shaking her head and resuming speaking again.

    So should I be suspicious or angry? Because they're both bad for everyone. She said haltingly. It had been so much easier last time. She needed that certainty and confidence back... but she was unwilling to do what she would need to do to get it.

    You can't do this. You're pathetic.

    I don't need you!

    You can't hide from me forever. Remember...

    No! You can't make me!

    She faltered for a moment, nowhere near a good enough actor to hide that something was wearing at her confidence. As she realized all eyes were on her, she stepped alongside Pieter and took his arm. He seemed confident and good with words...

    P-pieter? What do you think? She said, desperately trying to maintain some kind of control over the situation, I... um... I think they're involved somehow.

    Please help me...

    Pieter blinked at Illiiya, surprised. Why doesn't she go to Ithelus, as usual? he wondered. He immediately felt guilty for thinking that.

    "Nothing's sure," he told her quietly, a hand on her shoulder. "We'll see."

    Lenkster looked more than a little thrown by Raffy and Illiiya’s behaviour, unsure of how to react.

    “I – um, I assure you I’m not involved in... whatever it is you think I’m involved in,” he said weakly, taking the notes from Pieter. “Thank you,” he said to the initiate as an absent-minded afterthought.

    “Maria Samtzunge is not all she seems... look for the mandrake man,” he read aloud, in a low mumble. “The mandrake man will lie – watch where he goes. Shun the tunnels... they will be your death.”

    Turning the first note over to see if it had anything on its reverse, he raised his eyebrows and set both pieces of paper down. Lothar noticed from the trembling of the paper that the man’s hand shook slightly.

    “I don’t see... exactly how this relates to the, uh, murders,” he said, slowly. “I’ve never heard of any tunnels... so I take it you think I’m the um, mandrake man.” He looked up at Pieter with red-rimmed, watery eyes. “But I don’t know what you think I can tell you.”

    "Not yet," admitted Pieter. "As I said, it's the author of the anonymous notes I'm interested in. I know Maria, and she's one of the last people I'd suspect. That's why I want to get this sorted out."

    He raised an eyebrow.

    "Someone seems to view Maria as their enemy. Maybe rightly, maybe not. But I want to know why. Until then, I will consider Maria my friend. And the enemy of my friend is my enemy."

    “Mm. And just as anonymous to me as they are to you, I’m afraid,” said Lenkster. “My friends aren’t in the habit of slandering me behind my back.” He cracked a nervous smile. “At least, I don’t think they are.”

    He handed the notes back.

    “If you’ve come here looking for this man, I’m just as clueless as you. More so, in fact.” His eyes darted quickly around the group. “I’m sorry, I don’t think I can help you.”

    Pieter sighed wearily.

    "Then tell us about you, Felix. Maybe, together, we can connect some dots." His eyes flicked to Vanya. "We can discuss to a more convenient place if you prefer. I'm almost sure you have nothing to do with this... but someone who knows you apparently does. And given what is at stake, you really don't have much of a choice. Cooperate, please."

    Almost absent-mindedly, he shifted position to get out of Raffy's way.

    Lenkster blinked, glancing quickly at Vanya.

    "Here's fine. And I am cooperating. I just don't know what you want me to say." He shrugged his shoulders, his voice still taut with nerves. "I've seen nothing connected to these murders. What do you want me to do, tell you what I eat for breakfast?"

    You can do this you can do this you can do this...

    What do you both know about Miss Maria? Illiiya asked with a hesitant tone, Both of you. Can you give us... um... a g-good reason to think the three of you u-unconnected to this?

    She looked to Vanya and narrowed her eyes.

    A reason aside from how pretty and s-smart she is? And we'll also need t-to know... where you both were last night. All night. Names of people who saw you. Anything you can say beyond "I don't know anything." She said, her tone growing a bit more forceful with every word. Acting indignant and snide alone does not make you innocent. It only m-makes us angry. And that is a stupid, stupid idea... considering one word from us could have the witch hunter here to talk to you instead. So let's try this again. Why shouldn't we suspect you both? Why shouldn't we suspect Miss Maria. And I'd suggest you show some respect this time.

    Lenkster looked taken aback by the sudden change between Pieter and Illiiya’s approaches: Vanya was less surprised, having experienced it before.

    “If it’s alibis you want,” said the playwright, softly, “the owner of this place - Mr Ziegberger - will confirm with you that I was here, working on his Dazh-damned script.” He leant against the edge of his desk. “As for Lady Samtzunge,” he continued, putting a noticeable emphasis on the form of address, “I believe she was entertaining guests. I’m sure you could learn their names if you asked her.”

    Vanya’s calm reply seemed to have given Lenkster time to recover his wits: nodding assiduously, he opened his mouth, hesitating for a moment before speaking.

    “I – I was there. At Samtzunge house. Maria’ll tell you so – or Emanuelle, or Fritz. They were all there.” He swallowed. “They’ll tell you. I was there.”

    "We don't suspect you of anything," repeated Pieter, his patience running thin. "If we did, we wouldn't just ask nicely."

    He hesitated. The mandrake man will lie, said the note. But even if he did tell the truth, Pieter was far from sure the man would be much use. Maybe he should try another angle.

    "I believe you know Pilserier, the apothecary?"

    "The fellow who used to have his wagon parked down in the Neumarket?" replied Lenkster. "I know of him."

    "Ah. So he didn't sell you any of these, then," said Pieter, showing him the mandrake root he had taken from Pilserier's chest. His voice was casual, but he closely watched Felix's reaction.

    "On occasion," said Lenkster, looking uncomfortable. "Is that a crime?"
