## The [[Grand Hotel]] The party has uniforms, they'll need to change into them, and sneak into the hotel. Before arriving, the PI gives the party a photo of the person he thinks is the assassin. The hotel is hosting a private event for the city's upper class. The [[du Toit Trade Company]] is also using the event to find new customers. The party might spot some cultist masks this on approach or after entering if they're `alert` enough `[DV 12]`. ## Private Event At the entrance to the private event, the guests need to show one of the [[du Toit Trade Company]] emblems that all their allies carry. Oriann may notice this. At the event there are also some people that know Oriann from his attempts to find a cure to his disease. The event is guarded by [[du Toit Private Army]] grunts wearing green coats and masks. They are not wearing the helmets, instead their hair is visible. Also at the gathering is Sem Harestein, the [[Appraiser]]. He will recognize Oriann on sight. And panic about it a bit. If he's `sneaky` enough, Oriann may be able to avoid being seen by Sem though. `[DV 10]`. Sem will spend most of the gathering standing next to the [[du Toit Assassin]] that the party has come to find. The assassin is there with a case of lower potency artefacts from the cargo that was taken to the front yesterday. ## Upstairs Upstairs things are a lot calmer, there's only the occasional group of business-looking people walking to rooms to finalize deals or negotiate further. By the [fourth floor](Room%20418) there's basically no one walking around.
