Vin's Activities

Vin arrives in town, disguised, and begins his exploration.

Through the parties prior contact with the Rusty Shunt, Lars Lindicaster informs Vin that the Protectorate is desperately trying to get certain individuals smuggled out of town before the impending struggle for power between the factions. Vin agrees to help, and insists that a special effort to liberate as many children in the orphanage. Vin gets Z and Nualla to help remove children from the orphanage without being noticed. The final exodus of refugees and orphans will take place immediately prior to the major operation.

Vin returns, reluctantly, to the Porphyry House to see if Tyralandi has any information on the current political situation. Tyralandi grants Vin an audience, but insists that entire conversation takes place in her chambers while she bathes. Vin, under much duress, finds out that the Monks of the Dire Hunger are going to attempt to return themselves to power. The Consortium has allied themselves with the Dire Hunger Monks after rumors that an Ur-Priest, and possible Triad member, has returned to Scuttlecove and is in contact with Monks. Tyralandi seductively suggests that if the Monks of the Dire Hunger and the Dealers' Consortium were to fall, she would be able to wield more political power and be in a position to help Vin with any of his desires.
