Welcome to Cove

The empty echo of pages being turned flew through the empty halls of the library as the Arcanist Corporal flipped through a book over Renowned Assassinations. As he was about to put the book back in the empty space where it once stood a snake crawled out from dark shelves and jumped out towards him. Jack managed to throw himself backwards while creating a weak, but sufficient shield to surround him. The snake quickly crawled away behind the shelves. Jack looked slowly got up and shook himself, bending down to grab the book he was about to put back into the shelf. "Renowned Assassinations, mm? Well I'm not the one who believes in omens.."

Watchman Trials: Brandy Arrowsnap

Greetings Watchman, it has come to my attention that you have fulfilled your requirements to receive the Covian Cap. Good work. There is however one small thing you must complete before you get the sought after prestige; you must complete your Watchman Trials. I demand nothing but the completion of the tasks and high quality reports, consequences upon failure. Good luck.

*You find the first sheet sealed with the engraving: "Confidential"*

Watchman, your first task is as follows:

The Clever Stalker
We have gotten reports of a merchant running illegal business selling forbidden wares in Cove. I want you to follow this merchant around and note down his habits and daily routines as well his likes and dislikes. I want you to construct a large and very personal file over the person in question. His name is Gully McRag and is believed to be momentarily staying at an Inn in Trinsic. He is also believed to have two body guards. Nothing else is known.

In order to attain the information needed you need to not only be cunning, but have the use of a silver tongue as well. Use different kinds of disguises in order to relive the target of information. Plan ahead, if you know where he is going then be there before the target! Use different kinds of disguises; you may not grow a seed of suspicion in the target nor his bodyguards.

If your ambitions are revealed or you are detected in an awkward situation, abort the mission at once; do NOT engage in combat. Remember, the guards are very suspicious characters but are aware that they are guarding a merchant and will accept believable interactions from people.

For questions, do not hesitate to raise them to myself.


Mission Objectives:

• Observe and track the opponent and note down everything on him. And create reports of your findings.
• Craft a profile over the target based on your previous reports on your findings.
• Stay undercover.

Conditions:

• You will observe the target twice in order to establish daily routines and habits. (One time per day.)
• Do not raise any suspicion. You must have a worked out plan and story to who you are and why you are there. Do not let anyone know about your mission.
• Do NOT engage in combat. This is an observation mission.
• Do not mention any Covian names, not even your own.

Profile Conditions:

• Name
• Age
• Wit
• City of Birth
• Friends
• Enemies
• Love Affairs
• Family
• Acquaintances
• Business Partners
• Weaknesses
• Strengths
• Habits
• Likes/Dislikes
• Things he usually does! Be it picking his nose or eating grass. It's all equally important.
• Anything else you consider being useful for a character profile.

Optional:

• Writing profiles over the bodyguards might prove useful as well.
• You may bring companions; just make sure it doesn't raise any suspicions. You may use them to construct a distraction of sorts. Just remember, think before you act.

NOTE: Once you completed and/or memorized your objectives. Destroy the document. It must not come in the wrong hands!
