[M1] from Alfvaen (aaron@space.ualberta.ca)

When last we saw them, Little Rat was taking a bath, Delmara was out getting
clothes for the Rat, Alfvaen was going up the stairs to the office, Moriarty
was on his way back to the office from the Mage Guild, Queriche was waiting in
the office, Noctu was plotting in Yirma's, and Elstree was languishing in a
room there.  And Lassiviren was residing in Alfvaen's amulet as usual.

Moriarty returned, not happy with the fact that Alfvaen had left the office
unattended while he and Queriche were out, and expressed doubts on Delmara's
ability to pay.  Alfvaen said this was a "personal venture".  Delmara returned
with clothes for Little Rat, and went downstairs to put them on her.

Little Rat had a dream about her brother's death, but his dead body changed
into Alfvaen's...she woke up to find Delmara there, and reassurance that
Alfvaen was still alive.  Then Alfvaen came downstairs to ask her about where
she had seen Elstree.  It was established that she had been taken to Yirma's
Brothel in Low City, by people who may or may not have been Demon Spiders.
Lassiviren explained that Noctu's probable motivation for kidnapping Elstree
was in trying to gain a victory for Lolth at Aditi's expense.

After some discussion, Moriarty decided to summon up an imp to send along with
them.  Alfvaen, Queriche, Delmara and Little Rat set out for Yirma's, shortly
followed by the imp, Batobo.  (A messenger from a merchant worried about
ramifications of the passengers returning from Rameshan on the Arcas went in to
talk to Moriarty shortly after...)

Meanwhile, in Yirma's Brothel, Noctu accepted reports from Shatoc, his
lieutenant.  His plans to assume control of all Low City gangs was proceeding
apace...but he still needed Elstree and Alfvaen to regain favour with Lolth.
When news reached him that Alfvaen and company had been seen in the Low City
again, he ordered a withdrawal of Demon Spiders from Yirma's.  He took Elstree
with him to his Shrine to Lolth in the Gaps just outside Low City, but he left
behind a token of hers to lure Alfvaen to the sacrifice...

After a scenic tour of Low City by twilight, the trio arrived at Yirma's
Brothel.  Queriche was given a transparent eyepatch as a token disguise, and
Alfvaen assumed a drunken demeanor.  Little Rat was sent in the back entrance,
and Batobo set to a general surreptitious search of the premises.  As they
enter Yirma's, Yirma herself greets them.  She recognizes Delmara and Queriche,
but is taken in(apparenty)by Alfvaen's portrayal of a drunken nobleman's son
with a hired bodyguard and "obvious" intentions for his woman...  As she shows
them the upstairs rooms, they are all seeking evidence of Elstree's presence...

What will happen to Little Rat?
Is Yirma really taken in by Alfvaen's 'disguise'?
Will Alfvaen escape the fiendish trap Noctu has laid for him?
Does Noctu really think he'll be able to take over the Low City?
Aren't the Dark Blades going to have something to say about that?
What kind of a name is Batobo, anyway?
Will this thread get resolved before Amaan reached Generica?
Why doesn't Lassiviren get more lines?
How do you spell Afvaan?

These questions, and more, will be answered as the Moriarty Investigations
thread continues...watch for the [MI] posts, coming to a node near you.
