1:05The Thieves Guild. Written by Jake Kerr. Chapter 42. Hemley has a plan. Chapter 42. Jasper needed someone he could trust, someone brave and not afraid to confront anyone, anywhere and for any reason. And he needed someone that had that special confidence to take what others wouldn't give. His mind immediately went to Essel, the pathetic gate guard that aimed at nothing more than pleasing Jasper. Essel was a whimpering ass with superiors, but with those beneath him he was cruel and demanding. Yes, Jasper thought, if I promote Essel to some newly invented captain position of the flats, he'll wander the streets with the arrogance of his new position, and the ones he would most want to flaunt his position and importance to

2:08would be night protectors in the streets. Jasper had no illusions where this would lead. Essel would create a conflict over the nights, telling him he had to scurry back to a merchant guild outpost as they were in charge of the streets. Essel would take offense at that and say something provocative, conflict would result, and Essel would most likely end up dead or in prison. But the message and the conflict would serve two purposes. One, the conflict would make it clear that Jasper was tacitly ignoring Quinto's threat, and other was that the conflicts that resulted from that would be Quinto's fault. He was the one seeding violence in the streets. Against Jasper's better judgment, he asked Hemley what he thought. To his delight, Hemley was clearly in favour of setting those boundaries. I think it's a brilliant plan, sir. You are poking at the arrogance of a guild overstepping its boundaries, and perhaps just as importantly,

3:09you are creating the kind of uncertainty that may make guildmaster Vespa second-guess his position in regards to our debts to him. Jasper stopped pacing, which had become his new method of handling meetings. I had not thought of that, but you're right. If Vespa sees our might in the streets and the uncertainty around it, he'll think more about what happened to Orion and not the debts he holds. Exactly, sir. Jasper continued his pacing. And any word on Rogers. I knew you would ask that, sir, and I was able to find two bits of unfortunate information. Redirecting his pacing over to Hemley, he looked down on him. What information? How is it unfortunate? Well, it appears that Rogers has been spending his time with a beautiful woman from the outer fields. He was seen coming and going from an inn with her. He's wasting his time with women when I needed him to kill Vespa. Jasper remained still, but nearly shook with his constrained anger.

4:13Well, sir, I did ask around, and that was the reputation he had that people whispered about. A womanizer. Not a hero. One can be both, sir. Shut up, Hemley. A hero doesn't ignore his mission for a woman. I don't care how beautiful she is. Jasper walked around his desk and marched back and forth again. And what is the other unfortunate news? The woman left a few days ago. No one knows where she went or who she was, just that she left, and Rogers hasn't been seen since. Now, that was an interesting bit of information. Could Rogers have met himself up with a wild woman that killed him over some petty quarrel? It seemed unlikely, but Jasper rather liked the drama around it. I asked around, and Rogers hasn't been to any inns or taverns. As you may know, he is fairly well known in the lower quarter. Of course, I know that. You dole't. Jasper spoke to himself.

5:15So it appears my blade is gone. Dead, or following some woman back to the outer fields like a love-launtine. Either way, I need to come up with a new plan. And that's when it hit Jasper. It was so obvious. He turned to Hemley. Would you say that the night-guild is seeding violence with their increased presence and demands? Yes, sir. I can think of no other reason or no other outcome. Jasper stopped again and rubbed his hands. And let's assume that our forces were to somehow clash with the guards of the craft tower, and the knights got involved. Would that justify us entering the tower and removing Vespa? There was a pause. No, sir. That would be extremely bad. Jasper was speechless. He had been used to Hemley's insolence, but this was too much. Before he could fire him or cuff him or run him through, however, Hemley lifted his hands. Listen to me, sir. Please, I've looked at the numbers.

6:16I have been honest and forthright with you. They are hopeless. I told you to send an assassin. That is because I believe violence is our only way out. But we cannot bring the night-guild into our quarrel. They are too strong. Hemley stopped for a moment and looked up at Jasper. Jasper still considered cuffing him in the head, but he held his tongue. Something about Hemley's sincere tone gave him pause. Let me put it this way, sir. There are weapons that only the knights have access to. Bows and crossbows. They have siege weapons in the night annex that haven't been dusted off in decades, but they exist. Their equipment is maintained and of the best quality. They are the night-guild for a reason. They can reign arrows down on us from the war. Hemley stood up and Jasper was shocked at the intensity he saw in his eyes. Besides, our quarrel is not with the night-guild. It is with the craft-guild.

7:17What we need to do is initiate violence against them that is justified, justified in a way that the other guilds cannot intervene, or we provoke them into violence against us in a way that sides Quinto and Polo with us. Hemley sat back down, his words simple. No one knows Vespa. From what I can tell, no one even likes Vespa. He is no great loss. What we need to do is justify that loss, sir. Jasper looked at Hemley, not with respect, but an appreciation. This was Wise Council and Jasper wasn't afraid to admit it to himself. So he continued the conversation with a challenge and part of his reason for doing so was he simply wanted to hear Hemley's answer. OK, Hemley, let's assume you are correct. We need to provoke or justify. How do you presume we do that? And with the widest grin Jasper had ever seen on Hemley's face, the man rubbed his hands together as if preparing for a particularly delicious meal.
