NOTES FROM WRITE UP

DAY 405 (13th Tarsakh)(April)

Lady Gwendeth Thalavar was in her seventies, but still had a flamboyant

reputation. She still threw balls, dances and games nights.

Fenrir turned on the charm and learned she had been a lady of influence in

the city for no less than 55 years. She, gave the impression at least, of

knowing everyone and knowing everyone's secrets.

Fenrir also met her son, a man called Derrion Thalavar, who was in his

forties, but still lived like a much younger man. He had a reputation

as a gambler, a whoremonger and a drinker. He had his own private

club somewhere in the city and he extended and invite to Fenrir who

he was sure would 'fit right in.'

Finally he met Tellaura Thalavar, Gwendeth's daughter, who was a

scholar and very intelligent. She marked Fenrir's card straight away

but none the less extended an invitation to her book club.

Fenrir also worked the room and danced with Lavinia. It was a civilised

affair though and wound down around two in the morning.

DAY 417 (24th Tarsakh)(April) cont ...

So Random sent Fenrir and Lavinia straight to a debutante ball at Lady Gwendeth Thalavar's

mansion. All part of the plan apparently, he even had a dress for her. Hmmm...

DAY 420 (27th Tarsakh)(April)

He called on Lady Gwendeth Thalavar and she showed him some portraits, but none of

the ladies presented tickled his fancy. She told him that the next debutante's ball

would be in six days.

DAY 422

Anyway, before I blow out the candle, one last thing. Fenrir came in late tonight having

spent the evening going around all the posh taverns and such asking about eligible young

ladies.

'Old Gwendeth was holding out on me!' he reported. 'She's a grand-niece or something or

other called Thistle Thalavar. Only 22 and a real beauty apparently. Some ship's captain

called Tystran Dauntinghorn is courting her, but that won't stop me. Hopefully I won't

need to keep borrowing your wife much longer old boy! Ha-ha-ha!'

DAY 468 (13th Kythorn)(June)

In the evening he went around to visit his friend, the venerable and ancient

Lady Gwendeth Thalavar for tea with her and all her old lady friends.

He hinted that he was interested in meeting Thistle again, but Lady Gwendeth deemed

that to be highly inappropriate as she was currently attached to one Tystran Dauntinghorn.

'Thistle certainly won't court more than one gentleman at a time!' exclaimed Gwendeth.

Fenrir learned that Dauntinghorn was the captain of a ship called 'The False Gorget'

which set alarm bells ringing in his head. It sounded just the sort of name a smug

vampire twat would give a ship!

Later that night, in disguise, he went down to the port authority and found that

the ship was currently out at sea and due back in three days. He also found out

Dauntinghorn's address and favourite inns.

DAY 469 (14th Kythorn)(June)

In the afternoon he discussed with Gelly the idea of hiring two bards to start scandalous rumours

about Dauntinghorn and making sure Lady Gwendeth Thalavar found out about it.

DAY 494 (9th Flamerule)(July)

Fenrir had an engagement that night, the 70th birthday of Lady Gwendeth Thalavar.

He decided to go mob-handed and took Raz, Reinward and Veddic.

Fenrir concentrated on finding Thistle Thavalar and making sure Raz didn't make

a fool of himself. Trystran Dauntinghorn was there though and while he was charming

and gentile, Fenrir wondered, with the passage of time, how Dauntinghorn viewed the

escapade at the fete.
