Maurice

Bookish, ink-stained royal clerk purchasing salted fish and hard cheeses for the king's autumn hunting circuit. Frantic and in a hurry. Sanji convinced him she was a capable shopper via a 19 deception check. Maurice revealed that the king hunts the King's Forest when the leaves turn — never announced, never the same lodge twice — as part of the crown's annual autumn circuit. Gave Sanji a crown-sealed shopping list of mundane hunting camp supplies and five gold to acquire them by sundown at the East Gate.

Session 09: Visibly frantic and relieved when Sanji and Skrit arrived at the West Gate just in time with his shopping items. Presented Sanji with a crown-sealed purveyor's chit naming her and her compatriots as approved vendors to the crown's provisioning circuit. Revealed the items are being delivered to Eveningstar, though he does not believe the king will actually camp there — noting the king camped there about three seasons ago and never stays at the same location twice. Stated he has been the king's procurer for six years, the longest any procurer has served in that role, and has never met the king. Explicitly asked the party not to mention him if they ever find the king, calling it a personal favor.
