The Traffic Jamming

We’ve uncovered a trafficking ring involving Boblin, The Wool Merchants, Etienne Auttencort, and Albrecht Moray.

Notes

We determined the following from interrogating Boblin and Grottio Montony:

• Etienne Auttencort regularly purchases slaves from the wool merchants.
  • Etienne Auttencort places an order with the wool merchants.
  • The wool merchants contact Boblin with the order.
  • Boblin works with contacts, likely remnants of The White Skull, east of Port Maraisa to take captives that meet Etienne’s order.
  • Boblin sells the captives to the wool merchants.
  • The wool merchants return to Riatavin with the kidnapped captives and sell them to Etienne Auttencort
• Boblin killed [[Mathis]], the wool merchant, because a side deal went wrong:
  • Boblin and the wool merchants were approached by Albrecht Moray with a special contract.
  • Albrecht Moray asked them to abduct the halfling children themselves and send them to Etienne Auttencort in Riatavin.
  • We foiled the job when we resolved The Orphaned Halflings.
  • Boblin killed [[Mathis]] because the halflings were no longer with the caravan when he arrived to capture them, constituting a breach-of-contract in Boblin’s estimation
• Albrecht’s contract required that the children spend time with The White Skull in Bad Doric. It was not immediately clear why.
• The children were described as having small incisions on the back of their necks near the hairline. The meaning of this is unclear
  • Speculation: Bikke speculated that the children might be carriers of the rot being sent to Etienne or Riatavin.
