"I think it's time to up the stakes," Daystar said.
Grot looked up from the broadsheet he'd been reading, the Hinnom Happenings, which claimed to be the only accurate report of day-to-day events on the island. It was, of course, full of gossip and libel, but sorting the truths from the rumors was half the fun. "What do you have in mind?"
"There was a skirmish between the Greycloaks and the Panthers two days ago," Daystar observed. "This is exactly the sort of result we wanted. Distrust. Strife. Uncertainty. Let's stoke it."
"Lynna Catseyes. Have them take out that Tabaxi lieutenant of hers. I don't care if they murder him or put him on a ship to Magraven, just as long as he's gone."
Grot considered that, but couldn't find any immediate objections. "As you wish," he said easily, and rose. "I can take word to them in the morning."
Daystar smiled. "Yes, do that. Best to let them get an early start."
