She said it was rumor. We do not know exactly what does and does not work against them, or if there is any consistency.

You do not need a complete history prepared and you do not need a set role. We have chosen the Carbauschians precisely because they are deeply secretive. And none of you are expected to be the leads of the delegation. Collector, Lyr, Rhan and I have the most experience with the people and the current political situation, and we will take point.
