Rani has been talking about the results from the prisoner interrogation she was involved in with Selis and Norret yesterday.

"Well ... we got some information. Seems the Horde are getting really good gear in wax sealed or wax covered boxes ... Grug said they were rather hard to open."

"The blue dragon has friends. There's also a sea serpent involved, which is something we're going to have to look out for." She ponders a bit. "There's also a rather powerful shaman in the Horde as well."

(( For those who want to piece it together here are the DCs needed. ))

orcs with good gear - know: nature DC 25

sealed wax boxes - Prof: Sailor, Know: Engineering DC 25

sea serpent - intelligence check DC 15 specifically for Sarina Starfire Atianna, Rani Frost, Norret Demha, know: local for anyone else DC 20))

*perked up at the mentions of sealed boxes*

"Oi, you said these lot are getting boxes coated in wax? Sailors been doing that for years. See, the helps keep certain cargos like cloth and metals, from taking any damage during long voyages. Salt air will wreck em without that sort of seal, which is why they have solvents to break down those waxes and make opening them easier. My guess is, someone is feeding these lot out in the seas, or these raiders are hitting some of the oceangoing shipping lanes and getting lucky on the contents. Might have an inside man, helping them hit the right vessels too, might need to go through the crews and workers on the docks starting with harbormasters and see who hollers"

"I thought those were wax seals" Rani exclaims when she hears about that. "Never thought about that. Thanks."

She heads off to tell Sami all about this.
