[2/7/2026, 2:49:54 PM] Cam
*sighs* Ok, what happened?

[2/7/2026, 2:50:43 PM] Crow
The Reclaimers decided to take out their frustrations on Quellyn for purchasing the shriekslate.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 2:50:58 PM] Crow
I'm... displeased with their methods.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 2:51:03 PM] Cam
Cam looks at Quellyn

Huh. That would explain the goons shadowing me on the street.

[2/7/2026, 2:51:52 PM] Crow
Oh, right. They've declared war on us, too. Which is just as well.

[2/7/2026, 2:51:54 PM] Michelle
Did anyone try to patch the beat up guy?

[2/7/2026, 2:52:14 PM] Cam

[2/7/2026, 2:54:36 PM] Rob

Khara, did you have any questions about last session or did the session notes cover it?

going to start planning an ambush, at least.

Guess it's pretty needless to say, but I'll say it anyway: Since we pissed off the neighbors, everyone needs to watch their backs out there.

---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:05:51 PM] Crow
Watcher proposed dealing with the Reclaimers by connecting them to the poisonings and letting the law wipe them out. I'm fine with that but I want Malus dead in a ditch somewhere. Or worse.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:06:15 PM] Rob
That was IC for Cam, by the way.

[2/7/2026, 3:06:35 PM] Freakshow
What's worse than a ditch?

[2/7/2026, 3:06:50 PM] Cam

[2/7/2026, 3:09:22 PM] Pat
hmm, where could we dig up that kind of information?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:10:00 PM] Cam
Well, to start, we need to keep some extra eyes open here - and yeah, sticking to groups would be advisable for anyone not with the rest of us.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:10:18 PM] Cam
But if we want to get anywhere, we need info on this guy at the university.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:10:55 PM] Wolf
Hm, I'm thinking of trying to do some digging. Anyone fancy coming along?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:11:13 PM] Crow
What sort of digging?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:11:23 PM] Cam
Sure, but before we do that, does anyone have any contacts over there?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:11:25 PM] Wolf
Information.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:11:51 PM] Cam
Might be nice just to know where this guy's office might be.

[2/7/2026, 3:12:08 PM] Michelle
That's ok if everyone says no. Then we do it the longer way. heh

[2/7/2026, 3:12:24 PM] Rob

Ok, let's go.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:12:45 PM] Pat

[2/7/2026, 3:16:59 PM] Pat

---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:19:00 PM] Kristian
I'm going to kinda look around outside and do some street hustling stuff...find the queen or whatever...see if I can find some locals and maybe "enlist" some extra lookouts

"you owe me $20 but I'll accept a favor!"
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:19:38 PM] Pat
I'll head there and see if I can either find something or convince someone to help me find something.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 3:20:08 PM] Michelle

Deb, did you say there was a back door on the tower? And assuming there's no stairs?

Target is either Lancaster's office or the roof, depending on how badly Nyx wants to get to the roof. :P
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:11:06 PM] Michelle
Yeah, we know he's not in his lab AND it's probably been searched by the law (at least). Might get his home address from the files... But he's probably not there either.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:11:12 PM] Kristian
if Freakshow's little circus gig was popular, he'll set it up again and see if he can use that as a distraction.

Yeah, I don't know what happened. It's the transcription's actually terrible, but because it is actually doing a recording, what I did is I actually took the recording and I fed that through a different AI to do the transcription and that was much more accurate. So maybe I'll find a different bot who will do recording that, you know, I don't have to that maybe will stay longer.

[2/7/2026, 4:29:29 PM] Jason G
it stopped right when we took a break, not too bad

[2/7/2026, 4:29:32 PM] Debinani
Yeah, and it didn't stop last time. It ran the entire session without any problems. So maybe it maybe it is, maybe it does have a silence timeout.
Okay, at any rate, um, you take it takes maybe 10-15 minutes to look through all the boxes and it's it's all just student transcripts from decades ago.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:30:24 PM] Wolf
(quiet) I suppose that means we have to look upstairs.

[2/7/2026, 4:30:45 PM] Michelle
Who has the highest prowl? lol
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:07 PM] Michelle
They can go first upstairs.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:12 PM] Debinani
Well, or you can what you can do is that if you're all going upstairs, you could have one of you lead a group prowl action, um, and sneak upstairs that way.
And I believe Watcher of all of you has the highest prowl.
And you will definitely need a prowl roll to get up those stairs because they are old and rickety and there is somebody up there.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:14 PM] Rob
Crow is as stealthy as an ox.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:28 PM] Michelle
Or that
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:47 PM] Rob
Unless Watcher can prowl his way upstairs and disable the person up there.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:48 PM] Jason G
and also has Expertise in... Prowl...
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:49 PM] Michelle
Let's do it then
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:31:57 PM] Debinani
Oh, that's right. Oh, I forgot about that. You are just the "make the party sneaky" guy.
Okay. So, uh, so group prowl action, Watcher is is helping you is helping you all be sneakier than you normally would be. Watcher, any any modifiers to your dice, anything you want to do, devil's bargain, uh, extra stress?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:32:25 PM] Michelle
Disable only as a last resort.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:32:33 PM] Jason G
how do those rolls work?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:32:46 PM] Debinani
Group act so the way a group action normally works is everybody rolls prowl, um, and the highest roll of the group is what counts. And then you take stress for everybody who fails. However, because of your special ability, the max stress you will take is only one.
As opposed to the attuned group action you all did two sessions ago where Boo ended up taking like four stress because four of you failed your attuned roll.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:33:20 PM] Debinani
So that is a very, very useful skill, very, very useful ability, um, to help the entire party sneak without you burning stress like crazy.
Uh, I don't believe if you're actually rolling in the group roll you can spend stress to assist. I mean, I guess you could, but basically everyone's going to roll their prowl.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:33:34 PM] Pat
so for us to use stress to assist will be a waste
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:33:40 PM] Jason G
given how many of us there are and the consequences I will push myself
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:33:54 PM] Pat
didn't we do that last time?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:33:55 PM] Debinani
So you're going to uh you might have, I'm not I'm not sure. Basically you can use stress for each other's rolls if you want. Um, so Watcher you're going to spend two stress for an extra die?
Okay. Um, lookouts are in a basement. I mean, it's conceivable somebody followed you through the sewers but probably unlikely.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:34:13 PM] Freakshow

[2/7/2026, 4:35:32 PM] Rob
I mean, I have 0 in Prowl so it's not surprising I failed. :P
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:35:55 PM] Debinani
Okay. So, um, up at the top of the stairs the stairs come out in um, uh, nope, nope. Only the leader of the group roll takes stress. And when it's Watcher, uh, on prowl rolls, he only takes a maximum of one.
So I love that group roll system, it's fantastic. Um, so yeah otherwise you would have taken like five because like everybody failed.
Okay, so the stairs come out in a hallway, a back hallway of this administrative area. This is lined with small offices, so there's there's probably four or five small offices lining this hallway, one of which, obviously, has a—this is Charter Hall University—it's got a electro-plasma lamp lit, so very, very strong bright light lit in one of the offices. The offices have frosted glass windows, um, and that office, if you think about it for a second, that office is about where you heard the rolling around in the chair from. So um, so your late-night worker is probably sitting in that office. At the end of the hallway in one direction, you've got the little lobby where um Wolf and Crow were yesterday and a handful of administrative desks, and the other way goes back uh looks like there's a break room and then uh what is obviously a um a records room.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:36:01 PM] Pat
do all of us who failed also take a stress? Or?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:36:10 PM] Pat
ah.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:36:23 PM] Jason G
I took 1 for all failures, plus 2 because I pushed myself
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:37:52 PM] Pat
I assume we'll head for the records room, then.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:37:55 PM] Rob
Records room.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:37:55 PM] Debinani
It would be smart unless you are going to make an attempt at uh at subduing the subduing your late-night worker.
Right. So you all move towards the okay, um, you leave Mutt at the top of the stairs, gotta get a treat, gonna get a treat, um, and you head down to the records room. Um, the records room takes up probably an entire brownstone floor worth of space. Um, it is almost identical to the records downstairs except there's less dust. Um, the um racks and racks and racks of essentially document boxes full of documents. Um, there are also a handful of file cabinets and um and there is actually a large safe back here. Who knows what they would—I mean, presumably the the the registrar of the college probably works out of this building, so maybe they store tuition or some sort of valuables in the safe. But there's a safe in here.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:38:01 PM] Cam

[2/7/2026, 4:39:53 PM] Debinani
Considering considering how big and voluminous this records room is, and the fact that there's a hostile uh right right down the hall, um, this could take quite a bit of time if you are methodical. And um so would you like to try to speed it up by maybe doing survey rolls or a group survey roll?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:40:02 PM] Rob
Faculty files should be separate from student, so first try to find the faculty ones.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:40:32 PM] Michelle
Sure
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:40:32 PM] Pat
yeah, sounds like a plan.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:40:32 PM] Debinani
Okay, who wants to lead? Again, the person leading doesn't have to have the highest survey, they just are the ones that are going to take the stress.
Okay, Freakshow is directing everybody to go uh you know to do stuff. Everybody make a everybody who is going to take part in the group survey make a survey roll.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:40:50 PM] Kristian

And very, very quickly, like within minutes of of scanning it, you find uh a section of file cabinets that is dedicated to faculty and um within another 45 seconds because the people who file here are meticulous, you find Cyril Lancaster's employee employee file.

Um, there are it's a sheaf of papers. Um, he's been a professor here for probably 20 years, so it's not a small file. Um, there's everything from employee reviews to uh student complaints and student successes to his personal information and and whatever.
Just going to run off with the whole wad?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:42:53 PM] Debinani
I'm just trying to figure out if you guys are being coy and just trying to like take down specific information or if you're just gonna stuff the thing in your jacket and leave.
Well, I mean, about Lancaster's file.

can't we pull out a pad and pencil and write down what looks interesting?

I'll snatch some other files too, to make it not too obvious what we ran off with.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:43:27 PM] Debinani
You can absolutely pull out a pad and pencil and write down whatever looks interesting from his file if you want.
If you would rather leave the file intact, then that would be the way to go.
You can absolutely start a fire when you leave, it's well within your ability to do so and will definitely affect the amount of heat that the crew takes um at the end of the job.

NOT the fire. lol
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:44:03 PM] Debinani
Okay. Uh, you were going to take a couple of minutes back here and you are going to to go through Lancaster's file at least at least at a cursory glance.
Uh, who's going to who's going to do it? Let's um nah, there's nothing particularly hidden, there's nothing particularly exciting in here. So um we don't we don't need a roll for that. I don't need to give you a chance for failure on documenting Lancaster's stuff. Because you found all this stuff so fast, uh you don't really have to worry about the person in the office coming out or getting tired of going home. Um, you open the file, you take notes, you've got uh Lancaster's home address, which is a uh an apartment in a brownstone in Charter Hall. Um, you've got um a little bit about his personal life, he is unmarried, um no children that are actually documented in the file. Um, you've got his home address, uh he is an exceptional chemist with um a minor essentially in biology and um has generally just been um, you know, staying slightly above the radar. He's a fair—he seems to be a fair professor, there's a handful of student complaints over the years but nothing really notable. But you got his um you got his address and um I mean you got his salary if it matters. I mean he's a tenured professor, he makes pretty okay money.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:44:11 PM] Michelle
Copy out whatever we want to know

[2/7/2026, 4:44:16 PM] Pat

I suppose several of us should be able to read through the files, to reduce the chances of us missing something.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:45:47 PM] Pat
what kind of complaints?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:45:57 PM] Debinani
Um, you you glance through a couple of the complaints and they're basically just bratty student shit: "Why did I get an F in this?" you know, nothing nothing that really uh nothing that really calls out any sort of vices or anything. You know, he seems to be seems to be just a really smart chemist, a stuffed shirt, been teaching for a long time and just been sort of doing his thing.

---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:46:45 PM] Debinani
Okay. So, um, yeah. So do you guys want to go
You want to make a run at the safe while you're in here?
I mean you can try.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:46:52 PM] Michelle
Was someone going to take a crack at that safe? Trying not to leave too many traces.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:47:04 PM] Rob

---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:47:20 PM] Nyx
I can try the safe
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:47:20 PM] Rob
I'm not against it.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:47:33 PM] Debinani
Okay. Uh, this is a so this is Sparkright Tower, uh which mean or I'm sorry, it's not Sparkright Tower, but it is the Charter Hall University. It is a very um wealthy university full of some of the brightest minds in um full of some of the brightest minds in engineering. So the safe is actually pretty good. So you guys are a Tier 0 gang and this is a Tier 2 safe, uh which means it is going to reduce your effect of opening the door. So, uh Nix will make a tinker roll. I assume with her fine tinkering tools? So you'll want to check that box to say you pulled it from your inventory.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:47:43 PM] Cam
*shrugs* As long as it's done quietly.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:47:50 PM] Nyx

[2/7/2026, 4:47:53 PM] Nyx
Of course
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:48:11 PM] Michelle
doh
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:48:24 PM] Debinani
Fine tools give you a plus one bump in tier. So now you're a Tier 1 lockpick going after a Tier 2 safe. So, what you do is you're going to roll your tinker, and
We are going to call the position risky because there is literally somebody in the next room, and we will call the effect limited.
And okay, before you roll, yes, uh um you any anyone can assist you as long as you can come up with a good fictional reason about how you're assisting.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:48:51 PM] Jason G
can an assist from someone with the skill add another die?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:48:59 PM] Rob
How many people can assist to give her additional dice?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:49:04 PM] Debinani
Uh, only one. So for any given roll, you may push yourself or take a Devil's Bargain AND you may get help from somebody else. So the max you can ever add is two extra dice.
All you gotta do is come up with a fictional reason. I mean, you know, okay, I'm listening, I'm listening at the side of the safe to help with, you know, to help to help and you know tap her leg if I hear a tumbler flip or something, right? Again, as long as you guys are creative um and it's not fictionally unreasonable, um you can you can help. Okay, so uh take one stress and Nix will get an extra die. So if that's it, Nix you can make the tinker roll with plus one die.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:49:06 PM] Michelle
Did we check for alarms or other traps? lol
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:49:27 PM] Kristian
I have a bunch of Finesse but no tinker, so not sure that is useful here as an assist.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:49:32 PM] Jason G

[2/7/2026, 4:49:41 PM] Jason G

You've you've got out a stethoscope and a handful of other things out and you're you're working the thing. Um, you at one point you you hit a um you get you get the tumblers and you turn the lever, you you you get through the safe and you get kind of excited, you turn the lever and it's an audible—this thing hasn't been greased in a while—there's an audible "clonk" when you um when you unlock the safe. Um, the safe is open. Uh, you all freeze. Uh, Cam in your mind, you hear Mutt go "Uh oh."

Um, okay. Sure. Um, uh go ahead and uh let's see. Um, yes, um go ahead and check burg—no, you don't need to—no, I'm going to call it part I'm going to call it part of your burglary gear.

[2/7/2026, 4:56:37 PM] Debinani
Uh, no. What do you mean free? You mean monetarily free?
Oh, no no no. I mean, it's it's you are you are—so so in this game we're not going to sweat the small stuff. Um, most of this stuff unless it is particularly rare or whatever is just gear that you have. And um and so um you know if there's something particularly rare, which isn't really anything that's going to be on your sheet, um there's really no there's really no cost. It's just the cost of doing business, the cost of being a being a scoundrel. You guys are not so poor uh that you cannot afford this stuff.

[2/7/2026, 4:56:54 PM] Jason G

Yeah. So um, you know, there's there's not a huge amount of cash in here, but there are uh several—they're not sacks of silver, but they're actually um trays, which is incredibly clunky. But there are several trays of um it looks like small silver bars, which are probably used to pay uh wages for the professors. There is easily four coin worth of uh of cash in here.

Actually I take it back, there might be more than that. Let me think about this for a second.
Yeah, one coin is about a week's wages. So I'd say there's probably at least 20 coin worth of uh worth of wages in here. Now, that's a lot of weight. And so um several of you are going to be quite loaded down uh if you take all of it. But it is a major, major haul, obviously.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:58:43 PM] Michelle
How much can we steal without causing a major alarm from these guys? heh
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:59:00 PM] Michelle
Maybe just take one or two?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:59:17 PM] Kristian
this is the NV gold bars all over again!
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:59:25 PM] Michelle
lol
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:59:28 PM] Debinani
I read somewhere how much load coin takes.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:59:35 PM] Kristian
next session is us just slow walkin' our santa sacks full of ill gotten gains across the city
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:59:38 PM] Nyx
Nyx tilts her head at Cam and rolls her eyes
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 4:59:50 PM] Rob
Yout put it in Discord.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:01 PM] Debinani
Oh, in Blades in the Dark coin takes up one load per coin when you're carrying it on a score. Okay.
So, um, I mean there are six of you and you can uh, you know, in this particular example I will let you increase your total load. You'll be obviously fairly obvious. So you could if you if you all went to like medium or heavy load, you could get this stuff out of here. Basically you'd basically run off with the payroll for the whole university, uh 20 coin worth in here. It is a lot of money.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:06 PM] Michelle
And can we stash all of it at home?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:10 PM] Jason G
I found: 1 Coin = 1 Load
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:16 PM] Nyx
Nyx fills her pockets and moves aside
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:17 PM] Kristian
how many coin was this!?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:25 PM] Pat
so we could get at least one each. Maybe even two.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:50 PM] Kristian
I mean just take what we can carry
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:52 PM] Debinani
Okay, so Nix uh Nix essentially loaded her pockets up and took about five coin worth of stuff uh and and loaded in her bag.
Which is which is pretty much all her weight. That is uh uh she's not able to pull any more gear except for the free gear that you guys can pull as a as the.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:55 PM] Rob
So are we taking it all, boss?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:00:58 PM] Kristian
the rest will be lost in the fire ;)
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:01:19 PM] Pat
soooo tempted.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:01:27 PM] Debinani
Um, there's really no other there's there aren't a lot of there aren't any documents or anything in the safe. Um, I mean there are some documents in the safe, but uh chances are they're probably just like certifications and imperial writs, things like that. You're not in serious trouble if you get caught taking like an entire week's wages for the entire university out of their safe? I think you'd be in trouble.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:01:35 PM] Cam
*shrugs* Take what you want. I think they're going to notice anyway.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:01:42 PM] Pat
I mean, it's not as if we're not in serious trouble if we're caught here anyway.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:01:53 PM] Michelle
Isn't there a limit to what we can keep at home?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:01:55 PM] Rob
Crow will take 2 coin worth
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:01 PM] Jason G
takes 3 coin, since I am about to use 1 for something before we leave
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:02 PM] Wolf
Are we skipping the office, and try his home anyway?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:05 PM] Debinani
Yeah. I mean you guys could load up, go back down to the basement, go home and deal with the tower some other night.
Okay. All right. So you all um you you load your pocketises um and uh and you take every last cent in this safe and uh quietly close the safe back up and uh creep back down the stairs—I'm not going to make you make another group roll—and out into the sewers, or out into the catacombs underneath the university and across town and into your stash. And or into your into your layer. And you succeeded in getting away with the entire payroll of Charter Hall University worth 20 coins. Uh, that is a spectacular haul and you did it completely quietly. So, uh, we will
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:08 PM] Kristian
only if we murder everyone...that's just heat though
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:14 PM] Kristian

[2/7/2026, 5:02:20 PM] Michelle
Let's do that. Haul this home.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:27 PM] Michelle
We're at time anyway
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:31 PM] Pat
in that case, I'll go to medium and stuff my pockets too.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:34 PM] Freakshow
Let's take what we can and get out of here before this gets out of hand.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:02:46 PM] Pat
4 coins, then.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:03:06 PM] Kristian
god I am buying so many god damn potions
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:03:22 PM] Michelle
lol
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:03:30 PM] Debinani
Yeah, once it's sort of found out, uh there there there might be, um, especially um especially since the Glass Keys are based at the university. Quite a few members of the Glass Keys are professors and you just took their payroll. So you're going to have to have you're not going to keep all of this, you're going to have to talk to Locket. But we'll do that, we'll do that some other time. Um, now if you want, absolutely. You guys—so okay, all right, all right, I'm going to let you be I'm going to let you be bastards. Um, you want to plant some evidence that perhaps it was the uh um it was the Reclaimer Circle who lifted the lifted the money?

[2/7/2026, 5:03:34 PM] Pat
I don't think we should go back for a while, at least the ones who were seen. :P
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:03:35 PM] Rob
That might put a bit of heat on us. :P

---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:03:55 PM] Michelle
Oh, we are so screwed.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:03:59 PM] Kristian
can I retroactively blame The Professor fo tthis?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:04:07 PM] Watcher
We need to launder this fast and get it stashed
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:04:09 PM] Kristian
like plant some evidence
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:04:20 PM] Debinani
Absolutely! And I actually think that's actually pretty easy um um pretty easy to do. So, here's how that's going to work. We're going to have a flashback, Freakshow. Um, it's not going to be a very expensive one, it's just going to be one stress. And before you came on this job, uh you absolutely saw these guys who were following you, you knew what they were wearing. Uh, you guys know the Reclaimer Circle, you know their sigils. Um, you managed—oh let me take it back, take two stress. You managed to get a hold of a um uh a challenge coin. Every member of the Reclaimer Circle uh carries one of these challenge coins. And so you take everything out of the safe, you leave the challenge coin of the Reclaimer Circle behind uh as a—do you want do you want it to look like a calling card or do you want it to look like it was accidentally left behind?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:04:22 PM] Jason G
100%
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:04:22 PM] Kristian
I didn't use my laod for say...documents

[2/7/2026, 5:04:24 PM] Michelle
YES

[2/7/2026, 5:04:27 PM] Nyx
Nyx nods at Watcher
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:04:51 PM] Kristian
I may be bad...but I feel...GOOD.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:05:26 PM] Kristian
oh totally incompetence
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:05:29 PM] Debinani
Okay, so you make it look like incompetence. You you uh um you you drop it and uh um, you know, make sure it's seen but look like it was dropped in in the records room. Um, and yes, uh uh Watcher, if you want a flashback as well, what do you want what do you want to have flashback to?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:05:34 PM] Kristian
not only did they do it, but they are losers
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:05:37 PM] Jason G
can I describe a flashback for something as well?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:06:08 PM] Kristian
leaves a note that say s "Freakshow totally did this" lol
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:06:43 PM] Debinani
While Watcher is typing, uh everybody can take a glance at the XP again and um make your case for earning XP. Uh, a few of you I know offhand: Nix definitely you get an XP for addressing a challenge with technical skill; Freakshow you definitely get an XP for—or I'm sorry, Watcher definitely gets an XP for addressing a challenge with stealth; um and uh Freakshow, sure, you can get an XP for addressing a challenge with deception. Uh, yes, Wolf, uh you get an XP for uh uh getting f'ed info from the administrator. And Watcher, you may spend uh one stress and a Bluecoat will remember a member of the Reclaimer Circle stay—uh staking out the uh the central campus. Uh, I generally that one's a bit of a stretch because it's sort of established fiction your conversation with the uh uh with the Reclaimer Circle guy, but I'll let it ride this time.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:07:08 PM] Kristian
deception?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:07:24 PM] Jason G
I also noticed a bluecoat in the square earlier in the day on patrol, and I timed it so that he noticed our tail getting angry and spitting, so he may have noticed his face. my back was to him. ( if this is too much of a stretch let me know)
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:07:30 PM] Pat
deception for getting info from the admin woman?
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:08:39 PM] Jason G
noted, thanks
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:08:41 PM] Debinani
Um, okay. Um, so that's it! You guys make it back. Uh, you have made an attempt at um putting the blame on the Reclaimer Circle. I assume you're not going to get a hold of Locket and shovel over this huge haul um um and uh just uh pretend that pretend that you all didn't do it. And we will deal with the uh—no, you will you will you will get a little bit because I mean eventually it's going to be a thing. Heat will also go up just because the heat in the district will go up. But we will talk about um we'll talk about the outcome of the score besides the payout um uh yeah. I'd say the yeah. Um, we'll talk about the the payout next time.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:09:06 PM] Pat
we'll likely not get any street creds for this :P
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:09:24 PM] Rob
So how obvious will it be that the crew is now 20 coins richer? :P
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:09:33 PM] Kristian
negative street cred for our foes
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:09:40 PM] Debinani
Um, as to next time, um 14th and the 21st are out. How about the 28th?
All righty! Well I will see you then. Fun score. Um, and uh hope you all had a good time and I gotta go get the snowblower out. I will catch you all later.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:09:47 PM] Rob
Should be good.
---------------------------
[2/7/2026, 5:09:58 PM] Jason G
28th works
