The Lord-Inquisitor Karl van Kahshaar's response to Sedonian intelligence operations against the Van Angrix-Kiviri was one of frustration. Never before had he encountered such resistance to an issue critical to Kaeirean security as now. He was fully aware that for the Inquisition to move against Quetzal van Angrix-Kiviri would cause unimaginable political chaos amongst the Houses, particularly the Young Houses. This essentially bound his hands from taking the action that was needed, and that he was capable of doing. What further frustrated him was that Kaeirean intelligence had failed to discern the true extent and nature of who and what Quetzal was, and the true purpose of his many trading and smuggling operations. Clearly some effort would be required soon to reform the Office of the Inquisitor, and the Field Agency in particular. Further attention would have to be put into whether elements of the Office had been compromised somehow, or whether their familial ties had outweighed their loyalties to his Office. Karl considered the matter for some time, as to how much needed operations to completely cauterise the Von Kiviri disease from the ancient house of Van Angrix would be carried out. Sedonian control and leadership on Kaeirean soil was completely unacceptable, and a compromise that could have dangerous consequences in the future. Finally the Lord-Inquisitor reached his decision. In a secret ceremony attended only by the Lord-Consul and the Chamberlain of the Republican Palace, the Lord-Inquisitor deputised the Grand-Master of the Brotherhood of the Night as a special field officer of the Office of the Inquisitor, with special dispensation from the Lord-Inquisitor to command Field Agency operations. Under the leadership of Avan Nightwalker, the Kaeirean Lodges of the Brotherhood, with the support of the Sedonians, would destroy the demonic menace that had slowly crept up on the Green Republic. The Grand-Master himself readily agreed to Van Kahshaar's plan, for he himself had been long aware of an abundant evil that had haunted Port Kaeir. From his communications with the Green Lady, he also knew that only he alone would be capable of confronting and dealing with whatever Quetzal von Kiviri truly was. Juuso Vesantowrote:Action 3: Attacking the tree at the root, Part I Subparts: * Negotiations with van Kashaar: +1 * Response of other involved parties: +1 * Secrecy: 0 * Luck: -1 Result: 0 (normal) + 1 (dice) = 1 Success Description: (all this is subject to opinions from Ibrahim) Karl van Kashaar is alarmed by the evidence of the extent of the von Kiviri issue. And a little annoyed that the evidence comes from Sedonian intelligence services. van Kashaar promises full cooperation with the issue, but requires that leadership of the operation is transferred to Kaeirian people while on Kaeir territory. At the same time, elsewhere, the von Kiviri cell is starting a cover-up operation. --------------------------------- On Yahoo!7 Answers: Real people ask and answer questions on any topic. ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send mail to celandra-off@phoenyx.net.
