Attempts on Borsco's Life

There have been 3 attempts to kill Borsco recently.
And there may be a 4th attempt to come!

Borsco will answer questions about these attempts, but if you're too nosy he may send you away to look in the city for answers.

Attempt 1:

"I was in Waterside, running late to meet up with a prospective new Thief, a young human woman with raven hair who I met at Poet's Way during a performance, when I saw a thick elf man with pink hair and beard.

The thug was carrying a strange and lumpy brown package, and I did not think much of it. But before I could reach the meeting point with our potential new Thief, the building exploded in front of my very eyes. Had I not been late, I would have been dead. I think the young woman set me up.

Later I realized I have seen this thug before! In acting as bodyguard to some nobles in Flowers. I ask myself- Borsco, what would a thug like that be doing in both places?"

Attempt 2

"I was at The Reservoir during a memorial festival for the Late Prince (the gods rest his celestial soul), when before I could react, an enchanted arrow flew from around the corner of a building and went to strike my heart!

Very luckily I was wearing my family amulet which is enchanted with arcane protection. The arrow bounced off of its magic wards and I escaped safely.

When I asked the Prince's guards, The Red Falcons, they told me that a similar assassination attempt was made up at North Block by a wanted man known as "Dumont".

With my many whisperers in this tempestuous mistress of a city, I have also heard tale of an exquisite arcane arrowsmith who lives over in Workhouses. It is possible the arrow came from his craftsmanship."

Attempt 3

"I went to a showing at the Opera, the Barber of Colville, and afterwards I was invited to a private dinner by two most unusual hosts.
The Prince's Red Falcons' High Commander Auta Velosa, who is a very intimidating and tall tiefling woman, and an Undead Countess of House Doretta, Sano Isemi de Bartolo, who looked like she had just stepped out of The Tombs.

I was invited to a beautiful estate in Slots where we discussed many pleasantries before finally getting to the point of their invite: They wanted insight on how to destroy the major Guilds from within, and they thought I might have special knowledge, being a guild leader myself. They offered much money, but of course I politely refused.

Once we were served dessert, they excused themselves, but I thought 'Borsco, are you really going let a beautiful Gelato like this go to waste?', but that was my mistake because after two bites I recognized it to be poison. I was able to stumble out and drink the antidote I had on me, but it left a very sour taste in my mouth."
