Shackled City: DM Entry: Cauldron Gossip

In the last few days some things have been happening around cauldron:

* The town guard generally seem confused and disorganized.

* The relentless tax collectors have not been seen around town--anywhere, by anyone.

* Overheard in a bar: A guy down the street says that Terseon Skellerang (the captain of the guard) has committed suicide.

* Overheard in the street: No-one has seen Lord Vhalantru (the mayor) in several days, perhaps he has gone missing, maybe he has been kidnapped or even murdered. But with the city guard behaving the way they are, I bet no-one is even investigating his disappearance.

* Other rumors: People are whispering that the Last Laugh thieves' guild has left town, but some are even saying there is a house full of dead Last Laugh rogues that the city guard refuse to deal with.

* The general feel about the citizens of Cauldron is that it seems to be on the verge of social anarchy, like its just waiting for that last spark to light the fuse. Something in the air just seems--electric, things just seem a bit off, like its a full moon, but its not even a full moon right now.
