Crisandra Lotti
Crisandra Lotti is the butler to the Mitriu household. She has a pale complex, sharp features, with dark eyes and black hair pulled back into a tight bun. She wears a black waistcoat and neck stock of a white linen shirt, with black silk knee breeches, white stockings, and polish black leather shoes. Her severe appearance matches her demeanor and she is all business. She will exchange the appropriate pleasantries and kindnesses when welcoming guests, but it is obvious these are performative. She is utterly loyal to the Mitriu family.
Crisandra Lotti can normally be found at the Mitriu Estate.
TOPIC: security of the Mitriu estate
If the party asks generally about security on the estate, she will give the briefest possible answer
CRISANDRA LOTTI
Yes, of course, the family retains private security - which has been especially comforting during this unfortunate time.
TOPIC: Dario Albertio - tired or overworked
If specifically questioned about the guard at the main gate who appears fatigued and overworked, she will again answer the question, but provide no additonal details.
CRISANDRA LOTTI
Ah, yes, poor Dario - this is his first real job, and I see it is quite demanding on him. He started only a couple of months ago, but no one could have predicted he would face this level of responsibility. He is faring well.
TOPIC: Guard Captain / Captain Bucur
If the party asks about Captain Bucur, or about an orc with combat experience, or about the seeming absence of a Guard Captain, she will again provide a minimal response.
CRISANDRA LOTTI
Yes, the head of our security force is Captain Bucur, who reports directly to me. He is preoccupied with important security matters, and cannot be made available I am afraid. If you have specific questions for him, I can get the answers for you.
TOPIC: Captain Bucur's whereabouts on 36 Bucket
If the players ask about the whereabouts of Captain Bucur on 36 Bucket, she will happily check her schedule and report that Captain Bucur was on the grounds during the time in question. If they press her, she will be stand-offish, but will allow them to look at the duty log she is referencing, and is indeed says what she claims it does (thought that does not mean it is the truth).
CONSILIER MITRIU
36 Bucket? Let me see. Yes, the duty log shows Captain Bucur worked the day shifts as usual on 35, 36, 37 and 38 Bucket. He signed off the grounds for four hours on the afternoon of 34 Bucket, and did not sign off the grounds again until mid-morning on... yes, the 39 Bucket - so he was here the entire time in question.
TOPIC: Captain Bucur infected with Black Rot
If the party inquires after the health of Captain Bucur, either because they suspect he may have been infected by Danut Procop, or because they suspect he may have transmitted Black Rot to Ramona Surdo.
CRISANDRA LOTTI
Captain Bucur? Sick with Black Rot? Certainly not. Or at least if he was, he shrugged it off as though it were hay-fever - he’s a hearty one, to be sure. No, the Black Rot has not made it within our walls. Largely thanks to the work of the Captain.
