Leon shrugged at Elthel's comment, though part of him wondered why he bothered to defend the Talons when Ibdur implied that betraying them would be the wiser move. Clearly however Elthel felt about him she was still here to give them a job. Anything beyond that was beginning to matter less and less as it became clear how little the Talons knew about their foes. Right hand was a bit of a stretch given their current intel, but that mattered very little as well. Clearly Jadarl was placed enough that infiltrating his estate and either raiding his notes or eliminating him were valuable targets of opportunity for the Talons.

"Prominent estate. Magical and physical defenders, all probably with order to kill unverified guests on property. High priority target on site with a lord's ransom of intelligence if we're lucky," Leon said. It was practically a suicide run, but not impossible. He just didn't like how slated towards the Talons this operation was. If he and Iliskra were caught, they knew too little of the Talons to be worth keeping alive. If they were successful, they will have crippled the Talon's enemy in exchange for... what exactly?

"Do you care if Jadarl is alive or dead at the end of this?," Leon asked, "what's the pay? Because this sounds like an opportunity to end up with my body weighed down by rocks under the piers."

"There are other factors in play as well. Do we have a point of entry? I don't suppose he's suddenly throwing a party or recruiting event for Shagarm we could slip into?," Leon asked.
