While the documents in the front room were mostly about heists and stolen goods, evil artifact trafficking's, and different jobs both legit and shady... the documents on the knight's desk are letters sent from scholars and politicians, councilmen and lords. Some letters are orders for them to change their vote while other notes are plots to lower housing prices. One note from Gideon Steele a predominant member of the King's Council and one of Lord Aldric's peers, outlines a plot to assassinate the king and to lay evidence to blame the thieves guild.
Levi goes back to the Veteran and stabs him in the foot. "Where. Are. The commanding officers?"
"Ow. We have officers in all the major cities. I don't know nuthing about that secret door and I've never even met that knight. I report directly to Sorren The Shade (assassin. He's obviously not here right now but it's the middle of the night. I think this is just a big misunderstanding. Come back in the morning and I'll take you to him."
Options * Report back, bring some evidence. Talk to Lord Aldric or another person of authority * Hide, disappear, go somewhere else. Incognito, collect more information, find out more about conspiracy. * Do something else, turning point, create a new path
The journey to Castle Vesper was uneventful, the city’s inhabitants mostly asleep at this late hour. When he reached the castle gates, the guards, recognizing Levi and his urgency, allowed him passage without question. Inside, he was directed to Lord Aldric's chambers, where the advisor was known to work late into the night. The room was lit by the warm glow of candlelight, and Lord Aldric looked up from his desk as Levi entered, dragging the bound and gagged Veteran behind him.
Aldric greeted him with a mixture of surprise and concern in his voice. "What is the meaning of this?"
Levi quickly explained the situation, presenting the papers he had found and detailing his confrontation with the Veteran. He explained about the guild leader "Sorren The Shade" and pointed out the documents which suggest a deeper conspiracy, one that involves several high-ranking officers in the major cities.
Lord Aldric examined the papers, his expression growing graver with each passing moment. "This is troubling indeed. You've done well to bring this to my attention immediately. We will interrogate this man and verify the information you've gathered."
Aldric stood, his demeanor resolute. "We must act swiftly. I will assemble a council of trusted advisors to plan our response. In the meantime, continue your investigations discreetly. We cannot afford to tip our hand prematurely. Your ability to move unseen will be crucial."
"Look here. One of the documents you've brought shows that a large shipment of art and artifacts will be stolen the night after tomorrow, right from these docks. If you should intercept the cargo ship and steal the goods before the Black Fangs, then we could cut off their finances, buying us more time to stop the assassination." Lord Aldric, a stern but fair man chuckles for a moment then laughs quite loudly. "What if you were able to replace the shipment with less valuable pieces of art and junk, so that when the Black Fangs go to steal the shipment, they find only fakes. That would be an enormous blow to them, especially if you could get away with this all without suspicion."
"Here, use this hat of disguise to guard against any links to the Kings Council."
"Take these five (5x) bag of holding to carry up to 2500 lbs of contraband."
"Finally, if you need more firepower, here take another wand of magic missiles, I'm hoping you won't need it."
"Add these spell scrolls to your spellbook. In case you don't already have them. I know how valuable subterfuge cane be to a wizard."
I unfortunately need to leave this campaign. I really have to focus on my studies since school will be starting in about a month. It's been fun playing.

@Watcher8, thanks for playtesting my campaign. I had a blast and learned so much from our sessions. You are one of the best players I've played with recently. If the opportunity arises, I'd love to play in a campaign you run or one you're a part of, in the future. Good luck with your studies.

Levi will collect relevant papers, gag the Veteran, and take him and the evidence back to Lord Aldric.
