Shor quietly took in this information, stroking his beard. "You sure you aren't part of the city guard? Well, maybe better that you aren't. You've gotten much done and it's hardly sunset. Fine work there, Sylvia." Taking out his own notepad, Shor spoke about what he knew about the situation. "Aye, we've had suspicions that Erandel may be involved in some crimes in the city. His family owns supply caravans that take all manner of goods from their lands to other cities for trade, mainly herbs for medicine and lumber for construction. We've had eyes on him since a few months ago when there was a rise in contraband entering the city, though that was a blanket suspicion with all merchants, especially in light of Elysium activities. Investigations halted of course when the Duke took his men to the north, and so all of our efforts went back to maintaining the peace of the city over investigating previous cases. Sufficient to say, we'll need a lot before the guard can move in on him and make any sort of arrests, especially if we're too also accuse another squad of collusion." Shor reached into his jacket and put a silver badge on the table baring his emblem, the shield made of dragon wings with a sword at the center.

"This is a deputy badge. I have a few on hand in case I need to enlist people into a posse. As long as you have this, you may speak with my authority, Sylvia. You'll need it, as we need to find more proof in order to convict Erandel of his crimes and save the market from whatever scheme he's up you. To that end, I'd recommend you'd take your team and head back to that abandon brewery, and clear it out. Arrest anyone there who resists. Bring them back to me so that we can bring them in for questioning. If they try to claim ownership of the building, let them know that the old brewery is under ownership of the city, and anyone there will be arrested for trespassing and squatting." Shor then fished out two pairs of manacles. They looked like wooden planks with holes cut out on them with a built on lock on each. "A single note won't be enough to prove Erandel is responsible for anything, but multiple confessions can allow us more an opportunity to investigate into his business. Additionally, I'm sure there will be more evidence you can gather at that gang's hideout, either proof of Erandel's involvement or stolen goods they've taken from other merchants."

Closing his book and putting it away, Shor laced his fingers together to look back at you. "For now, I'll be looking into this Lightning Company. I've always known those bastards would be troublesome, but this blatant corruption will not go unanswered. Anything I find out, I'll write down and keep on my person, but I'll pass the information to the rest of my team when I get the chance. When you catch those criminals or find any evidence, bring them to my unit's barracks. We're just at the end of Ingot Street, you can't miss us. Aisha should be there right now to secure them." Sighing, Shor rubbed his eyes in a tired manner. But then he looked back up to you with a smile. "If we can get this done, that'll be one less problem off my mind. Oh yes, and I do have the coin if you wish to sell that Wakestone. 11000 gold in platinum bars. I left them here with Ferric for safe keeping, don't want to walk around with that much money on my person."
