Highlights Recap
Duke Dayvos suggested that the party might simultaneously enrich itself, and further empower him, by bringing down some other Duke so Dayvos could absorb their power and influence. He gave the party two candidates which were likely to have decent wealth worth looting, and which he was well poised to usurp.
There’s Duke Randut, a strongman driven by his own machismo, and Duke Sessiphat, a scholar who advocated a plan of reducing the Dome’s population through genocide of “undesirables,” and attempting to emulate the old agrarian cultures of earth.
Jinny decided she’d rather go after Duke Randuth. Unfortunately the man couldn’t simply be killed since he has 7 sons, all of whom take after their father, and a rigidly laid out succession plan was already in place and well known. In order to sow enough chaos for Dayvos to really absorb much of the clan’s influence, all 8 men would need to die.
Since Karya wouldn’t be much help with a stealthy assassination, it was decided that she’d wait near the sewer entrance 1.5 blocks away from the parade ground surrounding the 7 story apartment building in which Randuth lived with his sons and his warriors. To fill in, Jinny hired Djola, a local woman skilled in getting around with subtlety. She estimated that, all told, there were probably 100 fighting men in Randuth’s stronghold, and further that it would be difficult for them to approach given Randuth’s well known scorn for women.
Jinny decided the best way to approach would be to pump some kind of gas into the building from the sewers below. Given the size of the building it would take a massive amount of gas to be effective, but she was able to find some eye & throat irritant gas for a reasonable price, complete with a tank to transport it, and a pump to get it into the pipes. She also hired 15 archers to guard the tank as it was pumping into the building. She equipped everyone with gas masks (including the archers), and purchased a pipe bomb and a smoke bomb each for herself, Karya, and Djola.
The next trick will be getting the gas through several miles of the sewers intact, since they can’t very well approach with it in the open.
