Involvement

Act Three

Caitlin can be found at the Elfsong Tavern in the Lower City, asking Carys for the latest gossip from the Baldur's Mouth Gazette. Carys warns the party to be wary of Caitlin, who she describes as an "awful liar".

Idle banter

Caitlin: Broadsheet's rather dull today. Don't suppose you've learnt anything... juicier, of late, Carys?

• Carys: Afraid not - both the gossip and the Gazette have been drier than the Anauroch recently.
  • Caitlin: It's a shame, Ettvard used to do such a good job running the Gazette.
    • Carys: But these days it's hard to tell if I'm reading the Baldur's Mouth or Gortash's diary!
      • Caitlin: Oh, come now, Carys, the broadsheet isn't that bad.
        • Carys: I don't know, Caitlin, I've read the Mouth for years - this is the closest to a rag it's ever been!

Caitlin: Found anything interesting in today's broadsheet, Carys?

• Carys: Hah! Not of late - unless you want more lordly boot-licking - straight from the Baldur's Mouth!
  • Caitlin: What about Estra's column? She always has something juicy in the Gazette.
    • Carys: Even Estra's column has been lacking sauce of late... It's a real shame. It's not what it used to be, the Baldur's Mouth. Not at all.

If the Gazette publishes a positive article on the party:
Carys: Some real excitement in the Gazette this morning, Cait!

• Caitlin: Oh, what fantastic news - just as I was worried I'd have to find a new broadsheet.
  • Carys: A group of heroical adventurers slew a necromancer! At least, according to the Mouth.
    • Caitlin: I don't know, Carys. Could just be a tall tale - wouldn't be the first to cross the Gazette's pages.
      • Carys: Oh, don't be a bore, Caitlin! Besides, it's better than another fluff piece about the Gate's nobility.

If the Gazette publishes a negative article on the party:
Caitlin: Say, Carys, did you read the gazette this morning?

• Carys: Indeed I did. But, dear Caitlin, not everything made it to print.
  • Caitlin: No. You're telling me the Baldur's Mouth kept information back?
    • Carys: Oh yes - you'll never guess what I heard about the vagabonds.
      • Caitlin: Oh, do spill, Carys!
        • Carys: They call themselves 'adventurers' - they've not slain a single dragon.
          • Caitlin: Good gods, how scandalous!
