Setrona knows none of this, and fears the worst.ĮDIT: and no, the regime really couldn't have predicted that the Torrent would throw in their lot with the rebellion. The regime doesn't care about him or his order until they throw in their lot with the rebellion. Octavio imagines a whole witch-hunt out to get him personally, so he goes to ground. Oh, sure, the weak and easy-to-find armigers will be arrested and excruciated as a warning to others, and as a demonstration that Thrune is serious about things, but they're honestly not worth worrying about. Once the Rack's loyalty is secured, it ultimately doesn't matter what the Torrent members get up to. The Rack is avaricious enough to violate "certain Hellknight traditions" in order to get the Torrent's stuff, and Thrune can hold that over them as blackmail material (until the Silver Ravens find and publicize the deal's details in A Song of Silver, that is). He outlawed the Order of the Torrent in order to divert their lands and funds to his favored Order of the Rack, and he only did that as a means of further securing their loyalty. Thrune doesn't actually care about Octavio for his own sake. I could simply put that in with the Order of the Rack having captured the Lictor from the Shrine, but I also like the idea of keeping the Shrine as a safe house as written. Someone mentioned it in another post, but I really like the Council of Thieves prison caravan rescue against the Order of the Rack. I don't really see Thrune ignoring the quite obvious connection of the Lictor's rebel-rousing cousin as a means of finding him. If she fails, the Dottari or the Order of the Rack head to the Shrine to take custody of the outlaw Lictor if he's there Setrona has an idea where the Lictor is, and most likely would fail her bluff check against the inquisitor to keep it secret, though she might succeed against the Order of the RackĤ. Knowing his cousin also lives in Kintargo and has the same last name (and is also known as a provocateur), a lower-ranking inquisitor or members of the Order of the Rack would be sent to find out if she knows where he isģ. Thrune outlaws the Order of the Torrent and goes for the Lictor, but finds he's goneĢ. I find the story would have most logically gone this way:ġ. I'm in the process of rewriting that, but need some help fleshing out my ideas. Like others, I'm having some problems using Setrona and her introduction as written, given the general secret nature of my players and their Silver Ravens.
