Aiding the German Rebels

While Berengar was making preparations for his armies to invade the Northern German States, should it become necessary, Linde's vast network of spies, assassins, and saboteurs was already behind enemy lines fanning the flames of war. Currently, an agent of the Austrian Crown was undercover in Luxembourg, in a local tavern where a group of disgruntled peasants were gathered. 

The spy was clothed in a hooded cloak and stood at the back of the gathering, leaning against the wall listening in silence as he sipped the watered down beer that was served in these feudal realms. After drinking high quality alcohol produced in Austria for so long, this swill was simply piss water in the agent's eyes.

Nevertheless, he needed to maintain the appearance of a lone traveler, and thus he continued to drink from the poor beverage as he watched a man preach to the local citizens about the need to rise against their sovereign.
