Role

Chapter 2

One of my goals should soon come to fruition, as the Galadon Kingpin has
offered to make me the head of my guild in Hamsah in order to cease the
thieves' war. Hipsin says he has no desire to fight any of the Fold and
wishes the Bandit King Calheil thrown down, with me in his place. Lord
Qaledus has received the plan well and approves. As Bandit King, I will be
able to use my thieves as a spy network for the Chosen. I hope in earnest
that Calheil will accept the transition with grace, since he has proven more
than useful on several occasions and it would be a pity to lose so valuable a
guild member.

A goal that has been met: Sartaganeos has failed his quest, while Corilanth
now walks the lands as a mummy lord. As I predicted, he is a powerful ally
and heeds my wishes for the most part. I keep him happy with shiny trinkets
and magical wands that I happen to obtain. Signs point to him as the next
Chancellor. Of the other two magi in consideration, the transmuter possibly
has a chance and the invoker, in my opinion, next to none. The younger magi
present no threat at this time.

The Archmage punished Jugorath for showing up only with the odds in his
favor, and I can't say he didn't deserve it. Having walked the lands alone
for so long after Kungkruk's death, this event gives me no small amount of
satisfaction. The Archmage further hinted that other expulsions would
follow, and I have a feeling that certain thieves will not be with us for
much longer.

At times the magi's caution sickens me.The invoker, though useful, could be
a force has not made any sort of reputation for himself that I can see.The
transmuter would be far more effective if he had been under the tutelage of
someone such as Dralyth. Jugorath's foolishness has been costly in that it
has given them even more of an excuse to look down upon us "soldiers."
Something is needed to tip the scales back in my favor, and at the same time
give them some backbone in the face of the enemy. The Ccul'gra abhor the
weakness recently shown within the Fold. Would that the Gods consider me the
Advisor of the Chasm. I would certainly not disappoint them.
