Well, Leif has been caught, he needs to cough up some information. Also the players have been introduced to the The Sapphire Torch's calling card, and they'll "be in touch", wonder what that means?

#questions
Leif is absolutely going to be interrogated immediately, so we need to figure out what he knows
The big dude the PCs knocked out
what was he doing there?
what is he doing now? since he probably woke up after being KO'd with some of his shit gone and a pretty good memory of the PCs
he has to know that the Scarlet Circle is just able to "find" people who are down on their luck, getting information passed down from above on when to approach people, or what pressure points to use - heavily implying they have some sort of diviner

I'd like to keep the players in Kaledorei for now, need to flesh the area out, and definitely need to introduce Jade Regulus before they even think to leave.

• The Sapphire Torch will probably have some missions for the PCs before they set out, some small jobs, some need to mix into the Torch's underpinning motivations to overthrow the King though.

  #questions
  what sort of jobs?
  Do we want to have them also go after the Thieves Guild? Could make for some interesting conflict with Nils, or cause some real rifts.
  Maybe we just want them to interfere with a delivery or just one job, or something

• Jade will probably also have some side quests, likely having more to do with taking out monsters that have grown increasingly violent lately, and intruding more on civilized settlements.
