Okay, just pushing things along a little further here.
For three nights, Abby goes to the window and incants "D O O M". Finally, on the third night, maybe one of you looks out the window where she's looking. At first, nothing, then after a few moments, her dead eyes fixed to the stars, you see a shooting star race overhead and disappear into the southern sky.
How's that for an omen?
...
About three weeks before the end of Dave's training time, Grimes finally sends his accountant to take a look at Shady Orchard's operation. In that time, you guys have acquired three more Blackwalls on the lam: two guys you might remember are back, Jurgen and Broch, plus another guy up from Greyhelm, Footpad Dan, a bitter little halfling. Then the accountant shows up, one Mr. Lindsey Urkles.
Urkles takes a look around the place, making himself at home in the mayor's office. He spends several days walking through town, jotting small, seemingly illegible notes in a yellow legal pad. Never without an attache case crammed full of papers. He seems rather neutral and non-committal to anything you might offer, but definitely spends a lot of time thinking about the Tower of Illusion and Shady Orchards itself. Periodically he sends a letter back to Grimes via some merchant or caravan leaving Grito.
Anybody want to do anything? Oh, and everyone give me IQ and WI checks (Alertness bonus applies).
