Wraith noting the sorry state of the camp calls to some of the guards. "We need to address a few issues in this camp first. A fighting man is not only measured by his skill with a blade; but by his passion and confidence in himself. The sorry state of affairs in this camp do not invoke confidence in your men. I need a work detail to address the latrine, do you want to be drinking piss water? Next we need to address the state of these tents. Illness will sap your men's strength more than anything. How can you expect them to fight your enemies if they are fighting an illness within themselves. We need to secure more clothe to repair these tents. Sail cloth would be best; but discarded rags can be used in a pinch. Doesn't have to be pretty; but it does need to keep your men warm and dry. Finally, you need to set up a screen of sentries to secure the perimeter of the camp. Men such as us should not be able to approach the camp without your knowledge, a dozen veteran swordsman would put you all to the sword if you were caught unawares.
Is Sir Garivin in the camp? I should like to speak with him." Wraith watches as the men set about the tasks he assigned them.
<Not sure if a roll is needed as he is trying to inspire them; but still manipulating them. Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion?>

He brings you to a tent, and he opens a drape and looks inside. " Sir, some sellswords want to see you. "
"You have not seen them in a year? If the protection fee can't be raised or paid what about a rescue?"
Tenrow will look toward Wraith with concern on his face and then address the child, "Seems like a rough bit o' luck for you lot."
" Yes, sir. That's the cause. The waterdeep government cannot help much for the family who is holding my parents hostage have influence in political matters.
"What do they hope to get from holding your parents so long?" After the response Tenrow will pull Wraith aside and wait until they have a moment to themselves, and then whisper, "I don't like this, something seems wrong. Could there be corruption among the lords of Waterdeep?"
" I think they want us to weaken up and pay, for they keep putting up unnecessary measures on us."
Wraith turns to Tenrow, "We must try to rescue his family. Honor demands it!" Wraith nods at the young lordling and says, "We shall see about rescuing your parents and bring the responsible parties to justice for their foul deeds."
"Hmm, assuming the young lord is the leader, I would think it immoral to assassinate a child... With your security clearance you might be able to request assistance at castle waterdeep."

He brings you to a tent, and he opens a drape and looks inside. " Sir, some sellswords want to see you. "
You hear footsteps, and a ten year old child walks out of the tent. " Are you the sellswords? " He asks.
" Sir, as you should be familiar with the enemy, can you not guess? "
"Are your parents with the gods, your Lordship? Are you seeking vengeance upon those parties involved? Answer true now, mind you."
Wraith listens for his response in a skeptical light. Insight 17
"Sir, my parents have been take hostage in "The sweep" last year as a bid for us to pay the protection fee."
Wraith looks to discern if the boy is what he appears to be and if he is being truthful.
Insight for guile: 23
Perception for illusion: 18
You discern that he is real, cannot be more real. He also is telling the truth.
" Yes, sir. That's the cause. The waterdeep government cannot help much for the family who is holding my parents hostage have influence in political matters.
Wraith nods to Tenrow, "At least among one family to be sure. I believe we should help him. I believe him."
" I think they want us to weaken up and pay, for they keep putting up unnecessary measures on us."
So what will you do?
"Everyone is being kept in a ship named "The Mavolent" in the harbour."
Wraith turns to Tenrow, "We must try to rescue his family. Honor demands it!" Wraith nods at the young lordling and says, "We shall see about rescuing your parents and bring the responsible parties to justice for their foul deeds."
Suddenly, your sending stone rings and you see Exodus popping out as a hologram. "Any developments?"
So what do you do?
"Hmm, assuming the young lord is the leader, I would think it immoral to assassinate a child... With your security clearance you might be able to request assistance at castle waterdeep."
" I would say it would be wise to figure out where these people come from."
So what do you do?
The kidnappers are kidnapping from the mob.
