and another out of order . . . well, you get the idea

Since we're talking about a non-appearance of key people from the prison, I think this is what happened (as I speculated in another thread where Rayno is panicking over something that happened at the prison)

Okay, as others have said Duckk really nailed the important part - Rayno isn't just panicking - he's freaking out

So, some sort of knockout gas, nanites to knock people out, basically render everyone unconscious. Then land an air lorry or assault shuttle, spirit EVERYONE! away. Leaving no blood or explosions or mayhem behind.

That would freak out anyone. Safehold doesn't seem to have ghost stories (or at least not revealed to by the author). Knowing this has to involve sejins/demons, it reveals a capability never shown before on Safehold.

So no mayhem, dead bodies, explosions, just a mysteriously empty prison and NO non-divine explanations possible.

Nope.

Something really interesting... Something either too embarassing for Clyntahn to reveal... or frightening enough, so he is actually too scared to reveal what's happened. Quite interesting, indeed.

So where are we. Ducharin is once again a badass of a beuracrat (sp?). And there is what appears to be a massive prison break where the inquisitors and guards were... Indisposed.

And by indisposed I mean most likely gutted like god damn fish. Nimue sounded PISSED. Makes that team she beat the living piss out of that asshat from the corsidian royal guard as mildly miffed.

Anyways so the guards are all kinds of dead and a lot of prisoners who are Clynthans greatest triumph, Almost assuredly members of the Fist of God, just disappear.

All the peices are coming together. Yup prison break and may just include that assault shuttle from that cover.

I call this fan frigging tastic!

Man, I'm 0 for 2 here

Possibility: seijin Khody appeared "in holy light of anshinritsumei"?

Probably would be enough to really scare the Inquisition.

RFC, you must be busting your gut at our antics.....

Good non-snippet, though. I enjoy them all!!!!!


Thanks

Hi Dobriennm,

Hey, take heart; you're doing better than some guessers.

I'd hate to total all the wrong hypotheses I've made.

At least you got RFC to respond, so smile!

OK so
- a forged signature and probably fake accounts
- Vekko and Hapyhr - presumably two senior Inquisitors, unavailable for public display.
- Rayno still too shaken to fake the usual response to a request for the monthly accounts

Certainly not 'business as usual' at St Thyrmyn's!

Here's an off the wall thought. What if the first two snippets are out of order and the hunting hound has caught the slash lizard in the shape of Nimue Chweriau. If she was 'caught' while impersonating a member of Helm Cleaver it might be a very sad occasion for the staff of St Thyrmyn's

Why would Nimue not only try to use the poison locket, but say a prayer before she does?

And there's also the broken wrist.

Yeah, if some Inquisitor was capable to break the Nimue's wrist, it may mean just two things:

1) Owl is cheating with materials, and substituted the real PICA alloys for some cheap plastic. Merlin should check him - this machine is up to no good.

2) There are hidden super-PICA's in Inquisition. Which basically means, that the Safehold is roled by the sentient machines.
