It is Winter on Maladon You see Marokin busy in the area of haven, talking to various people when he has the possibility. He talks to Beldak about his contacts and asks him what he thinks about infiltrating the hideout of the blades. Whether it would be the easiest to get them to recruit oneself or not. He walks to Cain whistling a familiar tune, inquiring about the preparations on the head on assault on the blades and when he thinks it is most likely to happen and what their chances might be? You see him even in the vale, whispering to Syvil in the Empire might having lost some important information to the Blades and considering this stance it might give him leverage on it. He argues with Meren in the forest about the abilities of the sword he once had showed to him and argues about various properties the spells hold when cast through it (concentration?). He also asks him to inquire about the scarlet blade hideout and what his friend might know about it. And rarely he can be seen sending messages to House Donau. Trivial notes with a faint odour to them. The Tiefling seems to be plotting something. He still meets up with Sharleen making sure to keep a supply of Skullbuster around, with the best of regards by Adolpho. Rarely is he passing the Burrow, still not sure what to make of this whole story about Mindartihs and Erolith, thinking to himself it is best not to know more about it and pretend to understand what this Elf has told him. He talks to Ffiona and listens, should they wish to tell him something. But the apparent goal of Mindarthis seems to be far further stretched than any plan he himself has. This goes on for a few weeks, a month, and perhaps more.... OOC: I send most of the people mentioned here a PM or talked with them in Discord. The idea is to pool information and to create a plan to preferably infiltrate the Scarlet Blades hideout and retrieve some property of the empire before the iron fist does. If you all put what I send you together you have all the knowledge Marokin has about this ;)
