A shady investigation (Closed RP)

[Pinkerton]

Oliver had arrived to Paris, disguised but not alone. His retinue (75 men at arms) was distributed in the nearby inns, and he had two of them watching his back

He had entered a quite shady establishment, a tavern whom clients where mostly criminals from what it seemed. But the smallfolk knew much more than the nobles thought it did, and Oliver knew this. He hoped that they would know where was the Dauphin

[Gandalfus]

A rather ill looking man was sitting on the table nearby. He looked quite out of place.

[Pinkerton]

Oliver tells his bodyguard, a norman boy from Caen, to buy the ill looking man a mug of ale. Not wishing to be discovered because of his accent

[Gandalfus]

The man rebuffs the lad, and tells him to drink it himself. He was waiting for someone, it seems.

[Pinkerton]

The boy drank the ale, and decided to stay close to the inn-keeper, trying to hide himself while he saw what the ill-looking man was planning

[Gandalfus]

A hooded man came in and sat opposite him. They began talking in whispers.

[Pinkerton]

The norman boy decided to walk to the other spot of the tavern, to the "restrooms", and pass near them to hear what they were talking about

[Gandalfus]

He caught a few words...

King Charles... Burgundy... But they won't... They must... Or... Doomed.

[Pinkerton]

After hearing those words, the boy returns to the table where Oliver was sit.

He informed his master about what he heard, and repeated the words he had memorized. Oliver decided to act; He ordered the other bodyguard, a muscular Welsh, to signal the other men (75 retinue) to block both ends of the street.

He intended to capture the two men when they walked out of the tavern

[Gandalfus]

The men looked around, then one ordered an ale, while the other excused himself and walked out.

[Pinkerton]

Oliver nodded, giving the signal to capture the one walking out

[Gandalfus]

As he was seized, he yelled.

Unhand me, villain!

[Pinkerton]

Oliver orders the Welshman to knock him out, and bring him to his safehouse in Paris to conduct an interrogatory

[Gandalfus]

The man punched his attacker in the face and kicked another me in the shin. He drew a small knife and stabbed an assailant, brushing past the Welshman who knocked the knife out of his hand and wrestled him to the floor. The other man made a quiet escape as the scene unfolded.

[Pinkerton]

, you are a troublesome one eh?,

Oliver ordered that he was surrounded, tied up and brought to the safehouse

[Pinkerton]

[Gandalfus]

OOC: continue...

The man spat at the feet of Oliver.

[Pinkerton]

That's a nice way to start our friendship, eh?

Oliver smiled,

Tell me, what were you talking about you and your friend back in the tavern?

[Gandalfus]

I was talking to my friend about visiting my brother Charles in burgundy.

He scowled.

[Pinkerton]

I was talking to my friend about visiting my brother Charles in burgundy.

He scowled.

Oliver kicked the man in the stomach

Look where you are boy, a dark storage room hidden in Paris, with men that will not doubt to kill you if you are not useful with no one coming to save you

He stared at him

So, think again boy. What were you talking about?
