Difference between revisions of "Jaguars crime wave"

Events in [[Ashtan]] began with the appearance of a pimp named [[Pandarus]]. Wandering the streets of the city he gave a sly grin to any willing to pass him the gold to spend time with one of his girls. About the same time Ashtan's resident footpads began to peddle a brand new drug named [[gleam]], offering samples of their wares at first to let people test their product. Questioning Pandarus about odd occurrences around the city, the pimp was furtive but offered a bit of information when asylum was offered. Unfortunately before he could accept the offer outright, he was found hanging above the Parade of [[Zarathustra]] from a noose. Soon after[[ Epicurus]] was found drugged and unresponsive, and the shopkeepers were raising their prices to keep up with the protection fees. [[Amadia]] broke down eventually, explaining that she had been silent while others took her prospective apprentices away due to the abduction of her mother, [[Maricel]]. Receiving Maricel's severed finger as a warning, Amadia snapped and refused to cooperate further. Following her abduction, the citizenry of Ashtan learned that the footpads worked for a man named [[Ysven]] who had his base behind the Pheidus Gambling Parlour. The citizenry raided the compound and found it was beneath the Montagenet Manor, Ysven having hypnotized the [[Eliza Montagenet|Dowager]] into helping him create Gleam by pretending to be her prodigal son, [[Rudolpho Montagenet|Rudolpho]]. Ysven fled, taking the footpads with him, and the Dowager was awoken by Blujixapug with the help of her son.
