**[3/28/2026, 2:28:14 PM] Rob** Heard you --- **[3/28/2026, 2:28:17 PM] Michelle** heard ya --- **[3/28/2026, 2:28:25 PM] Random** B- --- **[3/28/2026, 2:32:28 PM] Debinani** All right. So, um, we drove away the Reclaimer Circle toughs from your, um, your turf, um, killing several of them, um, also, uh, you know, doing so in front of a bluecoat who doesn't like Watcher very much. Um, you went to the meet with "sister" and you scared her good and she ran to, um, you know, that other place, um, that you, uh, weren't willing to go. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:33:24 PM] Rob** So you're saying we can turn Watcher in and reduce the Heat on us. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:33:26 PM] Random** She got spooked. that's my story and i"m sticking to it. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:33:28 PM] Debinani** You were a little too little too shabby to go to, um, Rich People Island. And, um, and you all went back to your lair, uh, you are all really, really burnt out and, uh, stressed out and roughed up. And, um, uh, I think we don't have any choice but, uh, taking a break and doing downtime. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:34:10 PM] Debinani** So that is where we're going to start. So, what, what's the, what's the guess on the amount of heat you guys got from the, the alley? Eight, eight is a good guess. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:34:31 PM] Boo** 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:34:40 PM] Cam** 8 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:34:45 PM] Rob** 5 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:34:50 PM] Debinani** Uh, negative three, no, no such luck. Um, so I came in at seven. So, um, that's, uh, um, four heat for loud and chaotic, high exposure, um, one plus, uh, I'm sorry, uh, plus one because you're at war, and, uh, plus two if killing was involved. And so that's how I got to seven. Which is still an awful damn lot. So, um, we are going to add up, um, all the heat and rep and everything else that you guys have racked up lately. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:34:57 PM] Veth** -3! --- **[3/28/2026, 2:35:02 PM] Cam** That's what I got from the rulebook. heh --- **[3/28/2026, 2:35:30 PM] Debinani** So for the university theft, it's going to be two heat and four rep. So that was pretty good. Um, we'll deal with the coin in a second. And then for the Reclaimers, uh, for dealing with the Reclaimers that is seven heat. Woo! You are maxed on heat. One more heat and you guys get a wanted level. Um, and then I'm going to give you three rep for the job and plus one for Freak Show's work to show the people of your, you know, show the people in your territory that you care about their well-being and don't want them to get accidentally shot by a, a stray bullet. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:35:39 PM] Michelle** We're on fire! --- **[3/28/2026, 2:35:45 PM] Rob** Hopefully not literally. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:35:52 PM] Veth** Murderhobo Inc. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:36:25 PM] Debinani** Uh, so that's four more rep. You guys are very, very, very close to getting an upgrade. Um, if you pull open the crew sheet, the Old Town Echoes sheet, um, you can see that, you know, your heat's maxed out and your rep is almost there. The more turf you have, the less rep you need to upgrade your tier. So, and you gain turf by just doing it in-game, like making a conscious decision to go do stuff. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:36:59 PM] Debinani** Um, okay. So, um, so that's your rep and your heat. So you are right on the edge of, of, uh, getting some, um, getting a wanted level, which isn't fun. Um, you also are sitting on 19 coin. Now you can only reasonably hang on to four of it in the crew kitty, the rest has to be divided up amongst y'all. Um, so Cam, how do you want to, how do you want to divide the spoil? You probably don't need to pay Deeds. He didn't come on that job anyway. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:38:05 PM] Debinani** Okay, um, there's, 7, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of you. No, the crew, the crew's kitty can only hold four. Um, that's like four cash that you can just keep in your lair safely or hidden, um, um, and the rest and and the rest is sort of expected to pay out. So you want to give everybody two and then put, um, um, I guess one or that would be 16, put three in the kitty? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:38:13 PM] Michelle** I think we decided to bank the 4 and split the rest evenly --- **[3/28/2026, 2:38:21 PM] Rob** We can individually only hold 4 coin each? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:38:27 PM] Michelle** Or as evenly as we can --- **[3/28/2026, 2:38:45 PM] Debinani** Oh, yes, yes, yes. I, I will get to that in a second. Okay, so Cam's going to take one coin, kitty's going to get four, everybody else is going to get two. And then I will add cash to Freak Show and Watcher and Wolf. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:38:52 PM] Rob** Okay, I was looking at the sheet and it has 4 slots four coin and the rest says Stash. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:39:03 PM] Rob** Got it. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:39:10 PM] Michelle** Two for everyone, CAm will take one, and the four in the bank --- **[3/28/2026, 2:39:29 PM] Debinani** I believe, I believe all of you should be sitting at three now. Okay. So when you get over four, it has to go into your st- uh, you got one from the, um, antique store job. Um, so when you get to four, when you get over four, it has to go into stash, meaning you have, uh, liquidated that money, it's not liquid anymore, it's, it's, you know, stuff and, you know, cost of living and things like that, and, um, and so your stash and then you can't really turn, you can turn your stash back into coin but it's like two to one. So, you know, there's a, you can keep a small fortune on you which is like four coin, um, but then after that you, you, it, it becomes part of your stash. Every one of those rows of stash that gets filled is considered like a quality of life increase and, uh, you know, when you ultimately, you know, lose your mind and retire, uh, that kind of determines, uh, the, sort of life that your character lives. Right now you all are essentially on the streets or very nearly so. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:39:38 PM] Random** yarp --- **[3/28/2026, 2:39:48 PM] Rob** That's what I have. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:39:58 PM] Michelle** We started with one? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:40:06 PM] Michelle** ok --- **[3/28/2026, 2:40:51 PM] Debinani** All right, so everybody but Cam has three. Excellent. Okay. So that is the, uh, the payoff and the gain heat, um, part of our downtime activity. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:41:26 PM] Debinani** And now we do an entanglement roll. So entanglements is just crap that happens while you're doing jobs and while you're doing your downtime and, and whatever. Um, the more heat you have and the more want- the higher wanted level you have, the more severe the, um, the consequence is. I am absolutely gleeful of it. It is so much fun. Um, uh, because I don't have to think of crap to throw at you, the book is perfectly good at throwing crap at you. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:41:54 PM] Rob** You sound alarmingly gleeful about this. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:42:02 PM] Debinani** So, considering your current heat, which is at like nine, um, we will roll, um, uh, zero dice because you don't have a wanted level, so I take two rolls and take the lowest. And, uh, on the entanglement chart. And the entanglement chart, uh, is the six plus chart, which isn't fun. True, can't happen. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:42:36 PM] Eidolon** I rolled a 5 somehow with those zero dice. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:42:44 PM] Debinani** Okay, let's see here. Okay. That's not bad. Flipped or interrogation? Let's see. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:42:49 PM] Debinani** If there are two results, the GM picks which entanglement occurs. 2d6kl1 2d6kl1 1 3 1 1 Flipped Interrogation 2d6kl1 = 1 = 1 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:43:28 PM] Debinani** Oh, boy. That one's kind of mean. Okay, while I decide what to do to you, um, you all will be picking, because you're at war, you only get one, yeah, they are both kind of mean. Um, you only get one downtime activity because you're at war. So that's going to be something that you're going to want to resolve, uh, sooner rather than later. So, um, pick your downtime activity. I know quite a few of you are going to want to indulge vice. Um, it would probably be smart if some of you contemplated, um, working on reducing the crew's heat level, uh, because again, one more, um, you know, one more heat and you all are, um, um, you all are going to start, um, people getting get arrested. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:43:49 PM] Random** they are both kinda mean --- **[3/28/2026, 2:45:05 PM] Random** I have 7 stress so I'll pick door number 2: vice vice vice. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:45:28 PM] Veth** I can work on that. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:45:29 PM] Debinani** Yeah, somehow both Idolan and, and, and Nyx have like no stress. Um, so it would probably be good. Uh, you guys, uh, let me know like, um, oh, you have like four stress? Oh, wow. Okay. Well, it's still probably good to get take the heat off. Um, or you could let, uh, um, you could let Idolan go and then figure your stuff out. Um, as to the entanglement, uh, you remember, um, so Cam, remember when you reached out to Steiner to see, um, I don't know what you were going to ask but you said you wanted to meet. Um, you actually heard back from your messenger that, uh, um, that Steiner's now, uh, under contract with the Reclaimer Circle and he, uh, doesn't feel like it's appropriate to talk to you. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:45:31 PM] Jen** I can take a heat roll for the team --- **[3/28/2026, 2:45:57 PM] Veth** We're easy peasy breezy. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:46:29 PM] Debinani** Uh, you have nine heat. Oh, um, does it actually say, um, when you hit nine or when it surpasses nine? Because the only way to get rid of heat is to either frame somebody or for somebody to spend some time in jail. I'm sorry, a wanted level. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:46:40 PM] Michelle** Do we have 9 Heat or 1 Wanted? I hate asking this, but "when your heat level reaches 9, you gain a wanted level and clear your heat" --- **[3/28/2026, 2:46:48 PM] Michelle** Doh. Of course he works for them. lol --- **[3/28/2026, 2:47:09 PM] Debinani** Well, when the tracker is full, mark a wanted level and clear all the heat. When your heat level reaches nine, you gain a wanted level and clear your heat. Okay. Well, uh, no, you really don't, you don't have to reduce the heat, but you all are at wanted level one. I'll go ahead and keep the entanglements roll, um, um, because otherwise, yeah, we've already decided. But, uh, yeah, next time the entanglements roll will be a lot harsher. You all are wanted by the fuzz now. Good job. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:47:24 PM] Michelle** Thats why I hate asking. hehe --- **[3/28/2026, 2:47:27 PM] Random** but it is ultimatly up yiou the gm how you want to play that --- **[3/28/2026, 2:47:34 PM] Rob** See? No one has to reduce heat! --- **[3/28/2026, 2:47:43 PM] Veth** Didn't hate asking enough. :P --- **[3/28/2026, 2:48:05 PM] Debinani** And so I'm going to flip Steiner. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:48:51 PM] Debinani** Uh, yes, your plan to recruit Steiner to, uh, to take out a reclaimer is, uh, off the table. Well, um, it does mention in the book, um, either you have to go to jail or you could theoretically frame somebody to go to jail. Considering you guys are at war with the Reclaimer Circle, he might actually be sicked on you. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:48:55 PM] Michelle** And that's fine about Steiner. Cam was going to see about paying him to take out another Reclaimer. Guess that's off the table! --- **[3/28/2026, 2:48:55 PM] Rob** Time for someone to take one for the team and go to jail! --- **[3/28/2026, 2:49:06 PM] Random** I say we frame steiner. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:49:16 PM] Michelle** Be lucky he isn't sicced on me --- **[3/28/2026, 2:49:37 PM] Debinani** Um, I guess it depends. Um, I think you'd have to explain to me exactly how you wanted to frame somebody, and if that required a long-term project, great, if it required us to actually do a job, great. Um, I think it would really be kind of what your approach was. Because you, you guys still have the Reclaimer Circle out there and they are, um, um, you know, at war with you and wanting to end you. Uh, and so if you wanted to pick one of them to frame, I know we already started that a little bit. I mean, that's all, it's all open. I mean, you guys, you guys, uh, be as devious as you want and I will, and I will tell you what mechanics are required to do that. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:49:42 PM] Michelle** We were trying to frame the Reclaimers for the university job --- **[3/28/2026, 2:49:42 PM] Rob** Would framing someone be a long-term project? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:50:29 PM] Debinani** Um, okay. So, downtime activities, um, and, um, everybody gets one. I know that Idolan was going to reduce heat. How are you going to do that? How are you going to, how are you going to try to- oh, actually, sorry, you don't have to reduce heat because you're wanted now. Okay, so that's unnecessary. So everybody figure out what your long-term, um, um, what your, what your downtime activity's going to be. You've got about, you know, let's, let's say it's probably only a couple of days. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:51:11 PM] Rob** Eidilon was trying to get us to the -3 Heat he predicted. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:51:18 PM] Debinani** Um, I'm going to, um, uh, let's see. I'm going to help out, I know Freak Show's going to, Freak Show's going to, uh, go, uh, indulge. So I'm going to go ahead and roll for him. Uh, well, let's, let's do this all together. Who's all, who all is, uh, trying to reduce stress? I know Freak Show is. Wolf doesn't need to. Watcher probably won't. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:51:22 PM] Veth** I tried so hard too. :( --- **[3/28/2026, 2:51:39 PM] Random** going to drinking seances. commune and consume spirits. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:52:15 PM] Debinani** Yeah, that's tough. I mean, if you roll really, really high, you might like over-indulge in whatever it is your vice is, you might just end up stuck in it for a while. The, uh, the options are at the bottom, right? It's, it's crafting, rituals, recover harm, reduce heat, indulge vice, training. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:52:18 PM] Rob** I'm honestly undecided. Only have 4 stress but it'd be nice to clear it. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:52:51 PM] Michelle** Cam's at 4 stress, but since we're at war, training might be more appropriate --- **[3/28/2026, 2:52:52 PM] Rob** I was looking at the consequences and one is to gain Heat. Which isn't so bad now! --- **[3/28/2026, 2:52:53 PM] Debinani** True, uh, there's also acquire assets if you guys like want to go hire some toughs or get any specific things or whatever, that's a thing. Uh, you got long-term projects, um, you know. Uh, we're not reducing heat. Okay, so vice. The mechanical way vice works is, um, um, what do you do? You basically go do your thing and, um, you make an attribute roll for your weakest attribute rating, right? Because that's where you're weakest in. Uh, trauma is permanent. Once you earn trauma, it's there forever and once you have four traumas, you're done, your character retires because he is not useful anymore. So basically what you do is you make an attribute roll using your character's lowest rating, um, and you basically clear stress equal to the highest die result. However, if your roll clears more stress than you had marked, you over-indulge and there are, um, uh, you have to essentially pick a, um, in what way you over-indulge and cause trouble for you and everybody around you. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:53:20 PM] Veth** do we need something specifically done? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:53:24 PM] Rob** Trauma is permanent, right? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:53:32 PM] Veth** I'd be happy to do that. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:54:19 PM] Debinani** So, I'll go ahead and do Freak Show's. His weakest rating is a zero. That's correct. And so Freak Show reduces, um, three stress. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:54:32 PM] Random** attributes are the insight/prowess/resolve, yes? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:54:47 PM] Debinani** Insight 0d Success You reduce or avoid the effects of the consequence (GM chooses). Suffer 3 stress. 3 4 2d6 = 7 = 7 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:54:59 PM] Debinani** So yeah, when, when, when you guys say okay, we got to, we got to take a break, everybody be back in a couple of days, Freak Show's like "Later suckers, I'm going to go get high", and he goes and heads to Crow's Foot and gets stoned out of his gourd. Who else is, who else is, uh, going to reduce stress? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:55:52 PM] Random** I am. just a straight roll? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:55:52 PM] Debinani** Okay, so Nyx is going to go and spend a few days, uh, uh, spend a few days, uh, playing with dead bodies, um, and so Nyx that is a, this is a study, right? You're in, you're inventing it still. So, let me look that up real quick. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:56:05 PM] Rob** Crow will. Time to go play cards somewhere. Being at war makes me want to have that track clear. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:56:29 PM] Random** consuming spirits and communing with spirits. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:56:30 PM] Debinani** Okay, you basically just make a straight roll on your weakest attribute, those of you relieving stress. Okay, so it looks like Boo relieves five stress, I'm assuming that's less than you had. Uh, Crow relieves one, and Nyx with the success, you are going to add three ticks to your long-term project. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:56:35 PM] Boo** Prowess Success You reduce or avoid the effects of the consequence (GM chooses). Suffer 1 stress. 5 1d6 = 5 = 5 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:56:52 PM] Nyx** Study Risky | Standard Success You do it. 4 6 2d6 = 10 = 10 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:56:53 PM] Crow** Prowess Success You reduce or avoid the effects of the consequence (GM chooses). Suffer 5 stress. 1 1d6 = 1 = 1 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:57:00 PM] Random** yes, I was at 7 --- **[3/28/2026, 2:57:29 PM] Debinani** Excellent. Okay. So, uh, um, those of you who have relieved stress, have relieved- are going off and, uh, uh, Crow is at the card, at the card table, Boo is off, uh, playing with ghosts and demons, um, uh, Idolan has no stress, what are you doing with yourself? --- **[3/28/2026, 2:58:14 PM] Debinani** Well, I mean, uh, I mean you are, you are wanted by the law, um, uh, actually, before you before the last two you decide, I will say that, uh, during this time, um, um, yeah, exactly, during this time, uh, there are, um, uh, an interesting article comes out in the, uh, the, uh, the Chronicle, um, and, uh, it says, uh, um, it says, uh, uh, the headline is "Inspector's Office Uncovers Devious Poisoning Plot". Um, uh, and it goes on to describe how a fellow by the name of Inspector Edred Holt, um, uh, has, uh, uh, has, uh, discovered evidence that a, um, uh, as yet unnamed professor from Sparkright University, or I'm sorry, Charterhall University, has been systematically, um, uh, poisoning certain people of influence around the city, um, and, uh, several people have, uh, um, several people have died to this poison and several people have paid the vile blackmailer off. Um, and it goes on to, to talk about various this and thats. It is safe to say that Holt is probably in possession of Lancaster's black book, right? With his targets in it. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:58:22 PM] Veth** Anything that needs doing, or if nothing needs doing, I can train. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:58:40 PM] Veth** I could go plant evidence for framing later. --- **[3/28/2026, 2:59:56 PM] Debinani** It does actually mention, hold on, I have notes scattered everywhere. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:00:13 PM] Veth** I do have a bluecoat friend I could give that information to. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:00:42 PM] Rob** Is the "University Theft Suspicion" tracker there to determine when we get blamed and get Heat for it? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:00:47 PM] Debinani** Uh, yes, the university well, I mean a certain amount of heat was gained for the theft. Um, university theft suspicion tracker is really about the Glass Keys figuring out that you guys did it more than anything else. That would probably cause you more trouble than even if the cops knew you did it. Yeah, yeah, university is very clearly the Glass Keys territory. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:01:20 PM] Rob** Oh right. I forgot we did the job in their territory. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:01:20 PM] Debinani** Um, the article does mention a, uh, a Captain Clira, K-L-Y-R-A, um, uh, she's the captain of a leviathan hunter, um, and it mentions that, you know, she was, you know, very well known and somewhat famous as most of the leviathan hunter captains are. Uh, she was one of the few- she was one of the victims of the poison that the, the article actually comes out and mentions by name. Um, uh, she was sort of known as a, uh, quite the, quite the explorer, uh, her, her ship is always very successful and always, uh, goes way, way out to sea. But anyway, um, that was the only actual victim mentioned in the article, um, and, uh, um, you know, mentioned that she had died, you know, by, by the poison. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:02:16 PM] Debinani** So, um, um, uh, Holt, Inspector Holt, almost certainly has, um, Lancaster's black book. Okay, now Cam, Idolan, what sort of downtime activities do you want to do? I just wanted to make sure you guys knew that in case you wanted to involve that in any way. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:03:25 PM] Veth** I think it's likely best if I give my bluecoat contact some information to get them appreciating us and focusing on someone else. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:03:31 PM] Debinani** Uh, bluecoats are the cops. So we are talking about, um, Darmut? Your buddy Darmut in the bluecoats. Okay, what do you, um, this does not necessarily require a downtime activity if you're just kind of, uh, you know, seeing if he'll, seeing if he'll divert attention. Um, um, what do you, what do you want to do? I mean, what do you, what do you, what are you trying to get him to do? Um, uh, I mean he's a, he's a friend, um, uh, he's a, he's a friendly contact, right? And, you know, he might, he might give you information now and then but, you know, he's probably not going to, you know, put his career, his his freedom on the line, uh, for you. But if you want to involve him in a more extravagant plot, you know, lay it on me. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:03:38 PM] Veth** bluecoat means police right? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:04:03 PM] Veth** Yeah. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:05:53 PM] Debinani** Everybody's more than welcome to, uh, since nobody, uh, since nobody went over the edge on their their vice, everybody's more than welcome to, uh, um, collaborate on it a little bit. The information you have on the book. Well, I mean according to the newspaper article, the book is already, you know, the book is already, uh, in the inspector's office. Which, I mean, they're technically not bluecoats but the bluecoats, you know, they're all law enforcement after a fashion. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:06:06 PM] Veth** I was suggesting giving him the information we have on the book, building that reputation and getting them focused harder on bigger fish than us. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:06:59 PM] Debinani** I mean, definitely, you know, trying to, uh, trying to make the Reclaimers take the fall for something, uh, certainly to get the heat off of you would be good. Um, getting them to take the fall for the, um, university theft would be a big deal. Um, since you guys kind of were just a big ol' street fight, it's kind of hard, um, um, it's kind of hard to make them take the fall for a street fight because you all just kind of fought each other and you guys did all the killing. Um, so that would be kind of hard, but definitely, you know, if I were to try to pick as many birds to hit with one stone, it would be probably frame the Reclaimers for the theft, um, which you all planted the seed of already. Uh, yes, one of the- one of the Reclaimer Circle was killed, uh, along with two of their thuds, uh, two of their thugs. Um, what was his name? The fellow, um, um, was, um, was killed, Cam killed him. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:07:00 PM] Veth** Ok well then... --- **[3/28/2026, 3:07:01 PM] Random** is the letter and info bout 'sister' a leverage point we could use with them? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:07:30 PM] Rob** One of the Reclaimer's Circle was killed last session, right? Maybe Veth's bluecoat contact can plan some evidence on him to make it look like the Reclaimers were responsible for something we're catching heat for. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:08:06 PM] Veth** Reframers. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:08:19 PM] Debinani** Scratch, what's his name. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:08:24 PM] Rob** I forget. Cutter or something along those lines. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:08:31 PM] Rob** Something gang-ish. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:08:51 PM] Debinani** So you've planted the seed, um, you've left behind, uh, uh, yes, uh, the, the Spirit Wardens showed up, they collected the bodies and presumably went and melted them all down so ghosts would not rise from them. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:09:04 PM] Rob** Ah, wait. The body would've been burnt to keep his ghost from rising, right? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:09:24 PM] Veth** Hrm. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:09:29 PM] Debinani** Don't mind me, I'm going to roll some downtime activities for other factions. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:09:51 PM] Random** I have to step away for a couple of min. brb. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:09:54 PM] Michelle** We could make a copy of the copy of Lancaster paperwork that we took, plant that somewhere in their territory. Or maybe buy something kind of pricey but have it delivered to them... --- **[3/28/2026, 3:09:54 PM] Rob** Don't mind the GM, he's just rolling unimportant dice. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:10:03 PM] Debinani** Fortune Failure The result is bad. You have poor or little effect. 3 1d6 = 3 = 3 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:10:24 PM] Debinani** Fortune Success The result is good. You have standard or full effect. 4 6 4 3d6 = 14 = 14 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:10:27 PM] Veth** It being physical would help a lot yeah. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:10:44 PM] Rob** We could also plant rumors. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:10:57 PM] Veth** could plant it and have the contact show up and happen to find it. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:11:12 PM] Rob** Or maybe have a 'witness' say they saw someone we can have identified as being in the Reclaimers there the night of the theft. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:11:29 PM] Debinani** Um, yeah, I mean not head-on. So, so a couple ways that, uh, a couple ways that wars, um, come to an end. Uh, one, you simply make a deal. Uh, you can make a deal with, um, um, what's his name? Venn? Professor Venn or something like that? Aldrick Venn, yeah. You could, uh, make a deal with him to just stop. Uh, but at this point you've killed several of his people and you've repeatedly stolen from him and so that deal will probably come, um, at a fairly substantial cost. So, you could do that. Um, you could start killing the principals of the Reclaimer Circle. You could go after Aldrick Venn, you could go after Malus Thorne, uh, you could go after anything like that. Um, and just cut off the head. Um, inevitably there will be lieutenants and things like that. Uh, um, he did send your people his people into your territory, but yes, they, they, they had a valid gripe. It's not like they went to war with you for giggles. Um, uh, I mean Mistress Ash, right? I mean, came from them. Um, um, what else could you do? You could attempt to take away their territory. You could go and the Reclaimer Circle operates, um, uh, a little further south in Charterhall than you do, uh, they have a, uh, large gr- uh, area of influence around, um, the Alchemist's Quarter. There are a number of shops and homes and things like that where people, um, you know, pay protection to the Reclaimers or, you know, work deals with them and things like that. So you could undermine them in different ways. Um, uh, you know, the Reclaimer Circle almost certainly has hideouts and places where they operate out of, such as the one that you already know about in Crow's Foot. Um, you know, all sort of different ways to go hit them. Um, and so you could either hit them until they squeal "uncle" or you could hurt them so badly that the whole gang dissolves and essentially goes away. Um, it's all, um, it's all very possible, it depends on how vindictive you all are feeling. But it will probably take a multi-pronged approach to make them go away entirely. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:11:59 PM] Debinani** Fortune Partial Success The result is mixed. You have limited or partial effect. 1 4 2d6 = 5 = 5 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:12:10 PM] Veth** I like the evidence route because it's a win for the contact as well. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:12:35 PM] Veth** Strengthening a contact inside a police force would seem like a good thing for a career criminal. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:13:02 PM] Random** back --- **[3/28/2026, 3:13:23 PM] Rob** If we had thought about it at the time we could've taken something we could actually plant. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:14:03 PM] Debinani** Fortune Partial Success The result is mixed. You have limited or partial effect. 4 1d6 = 4 = 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:14:06 PM] Michelle** Yeah, we werem --- **[3/28/2026, 3:14:20 PM] Michelle** were more worried about not taking too much --- **[3/28/2026, 3:14:30 PM] Rob** From the University safe, yeah. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:14:38 PM] Veth** Lancaster paperwork copy is a great idea I think, especially if we include something belonging to a reclaimer.. do we have anything like that? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:15:06 PM] Michelle** No, but we took copies of his personnel files --- **[3/28/2026, 3:15:23 PM] Rob** I think we made copies. it was before we opened the safe. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:15:29 PM] Michelle** We copied them, but the info shows its a copy --- **[3/28/2026, 3:15:52 PM] Rob** I don't think we have any hard evidence to plant. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:16:11 PM] Rob** Unless we want to plant some of the coin. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:16:39 PM] Michelle** Nothing great, no. But if we doctor up some maps on how they got in, a few of our Lancaster notes, and a couple coin might work --- **[3/28/2026, 3:16:39 PM] Veth** I guess I could go surveil the reclaimers a while and get dirt on them, I am kind of built for that. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:16:45 PM] Rob** Was the coin in a bag of some sort? Something that shows it came from the University? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:17:19 PM] Rob** No stamps or anything on the bars? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:17:43 PM] Rob** Okay, I didn't think so. Just wanted to check. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:18:42 PM] Veth** I am bad at thinking like a criminal. It's my only weakness! --- **[3/28/2026, 3:18:47 PM] Rob** Right, which is where Michelle's going with this and is probably our best bet. I think we can also plant some rumors, too. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:19:00 PM] Michelle** Yeah, let's try that as Cam's downtime (Asset), and maybe pay a witness --- **[3/28/2026, 3:19:40 PM] Rob** I'm just picturing Nyx's and Cam's conversation with that one professor raising a few brows. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:20:41 PM] Rob** We did, true. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:20:47 PM] Veth** Mock up the maps, stuff them in a bin, maybe a note from one reclaimer to another about it, partially light it on fire for effect, then have my contact "find" it. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:20:54 PM] Michelle** Yeah, maps, details on the safe, and once we're ready to plant it, at least one of the bars --- **[3/28/2026, 3:21:14 PM] Random** can we use the sister letter as a red herring? probably not but asking. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:21:18 PM] Veth** One for the framing, another for the contact. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:22:54 PM] Michelle** So change it to 2d? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:23:08 PM] Michelle** gotcha --- **[3/28/2026, 3:23:32 PM] Michelle** And we can spend the coin before or after the roll? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:24:08 PM] Cam** Acquire Asset Partial Success Mixed result. You gain an asset of Tier 0 quality. To raise the result beyond critical, you may spend 2 coin per +1 Tier bonus. 4 1d6 = 4 = 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:24:40 PM] Michelle** This is kind of important, so I think we should spend the money. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:24:47 PM] Veth** I don't mind donating a coin to this. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:25:04 PM] Michelle** We'd take that out of our group stash --- **[3/28/2026, 3:25:10 PM] Rob** Agreed. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:25:15 PM] Michelle** Yeah, spend the two --- **[3/28/2026, 3:25:17 PM] Veth** agreed --- **[3/28/2026, 3:25:39 PM] Michelle** yes --- **[3/28/2026, 3:25:52 PM] Rob** Take it from Freakshow. he's stoned. he'll never notice. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:26:02 PM] Veth** and as is tradition, whether it's his fault or not, we blame Mayvik. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:27:20 PM] Veth** we still need to plant it and have it found, yes? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:27:20 PM] Veth** we still need to plant it and have it found, yes? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:27:26 PM] Veth** I can take care of that. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:27:34 PM] Veth** oh alright. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:27:44 PM] Michelle** Yeah, figure that's a job of its own --- **[3/28/2026, 3:27:52 PM] Veth** hrm.. training then I guess. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:28:06 PM] Veth** not much else for me to do, as far as I understand. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:28:29 PM] Veth** I'm still learning muh dood. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:28:39 PM] Michelle** 2xp, cause we have a training thing, right? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:29:03 PM] Veth** I'll take prowess then --- **[3/28/2026, 3:29:28 PM] Veth** gotta get sneaky. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:30:30 PM] Veth** lol the way you said that. :P --- **[3/28/2026, 3:31:14 PM] Rob** Well, we do need to do something about this war. We don't exactly have the numbers to just beat up the Reclaimers, though. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:31:46 PM] Veth** our timers seem kinda red in places too. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:32:32 PM] Rob** I mean, the stealing from him is a valid gripe. He sent his people into our territory, though! --- **[3/28/2026, 3:34:09 PM] Debinani** Um, almost certainly. Uh, you guys will probably have to figure out where you want to plant the evidence, plant the evidence, and who you want to inform of the evidence, uh, so that the evidence actually gets found by the right people. It's all very complicated. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:34:13 PM] Rob** Would planting the evidence be a Job? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:34:28 PM] Veth** not to mention the heat it could continue to cause us --- **[3/28/2026, 3:34:40 PM] Debinani** And then of course you've got Lancaster, uh, who is, uh, on the run, uh, you have a lead for, uh, um, his lab, um, and, um, uh, and then you're pretty sure the black book is probably in the, uh, bluecoat lockup somewhere. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:34:58 PM] Michelle** We need to plant this evidence and sic the cops on them. Shake things up, hopefully in our favor. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:35:32 PM] Rob** Well, we know where some of their places/lairs/whatever are, so we can pick one of those to plant the evidence at. In Eidolon's bluecoat contact's territory is best. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:36:06 PM] Debinani** So the only place that the- the only like Reclaimer Circle lair that you are 100% sure about is the one you already raided in in Crow's Foot. Um, it's almost- they almost certainly have something in Charterhall, uh, which would be in, um, Idolan's bluecoat friend's, um, jurisdiction. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:36:16 PM] Random** is is possibe to do a flashback that before we turned back to home, that I could have paid a street kid to try and continue following the woman and report back to me where she landed? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:36:40 PM] Veth** Might get him to get us a look at that black book if we help him enough. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:36:41 PM] Debinani** Um, no. Uh, flashbacks are really about jobs, uh, and you guys have sort of been into downtime and things like that. So, no. Good idea though. That's right, and that's the other lead you have is the, um, quote-unquote sister. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:37:39 PM] Debinani** Probably wouldn't be hard to work your network and find places that the Reclaimer Circle operates in in in Charterhall. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:37:52 PM] Rob** I really think we need to focus on the war first. That's something that's coming to us whether we choose to or not. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:38:06 PM] Veth** Fair point. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:38:08 PM] Rob** Sorry, whether we choose to engage or not. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:38:19 PM] Debinani** You do indeed, um, you do indeed have a secret, literally a secret door that even they don't know about, um, into, um, into their antique shop in, um, in Crow's Foot. I mean and they don't even know that you know that. They just know that at some point you guys got a hold of all that Shrieks-slate and moved it on the market. They don't really know how you did it. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:38:24 PM] Michelle** Or we can use our now-known "secret" door into that last hideout :P --- **[3/28/2026, 3:38:37 PM] Michelle** If statue is willing to help us. hehe --- **[3/28/2026, 3:39:23 PM] Veth** That is a huge advantage, we would have to be careful not to give it away. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:39:29 PM] Debinani** Well, I don't know, kind of depends on what you were doing. Um, it's really gathering information and based upon how you're trying to gather the information is really about what you would roll or not. Uh, um, you know, uh, I mean you've got a, uh, uh, you know, everybody has kind of a list of contacts, uh, you know, Mara, uh, you've got a, a friend in the bluecoats. I mean you got a lot of people you could theoretically ask. You could get creative, you could go looking for stray ghosts that might talk to you, um, you could, I mean you could just go skulking about because you kind of know the areas of town that they operate in. I mean, could do a lot. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:39:30 PM] Rob** If we wanted to find their location in Charterhall, how would we go about using our contacts? What sorts of rolls are we talking about? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:39:42 PM] Random** that would be a good place to plant evidence and then offer a tip to the right people where it might be found. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:40:37 PM] Rob** I'm going to play devil's advocate and suggest we don't use that same lair again just yet. Going back to the same well too often could come back to bite us. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:40:48 PM] Veth** I like the idea of skulking. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:40:50 PM] Michelle** fair --- **[3/28/2026, 3:40:52 PM] Veth** it offers deniability. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:41:07 PM] Debinani** Yeah, I mean they know you did it, they just, they're just not sure how or when. Plus, if they know you did it and then a whole bunch of evidence against them shows up in the same spot, you know, that may not help with the cops, but it might help with, you know, the Glass Keys. Okay. Um, so, um, I heard Idolan maybe doing some, doing some skulking, um, Crow maybe seeing if there are any loose spirits wandering around. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:41:10 PM] Rob** Yeah, and if the Reclaimers are smart they already took measures, like planting traps or something. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:41:36 PM] Rob** Okay, Crow can do the 'talk to ghost' thing. Mainly walk around Charterhall to find areas with some that might have some answers. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:42:03 PM] Michelle** Skulk around... we're wanted. :) --- **[3/28/2026, 3:42:03 PM] Debinani** Yeah, you guys are, you guys are skulking in general. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:42:21 PM] Veth** Technically I can turn invisible. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:42:36 PM] Debinani** You do indeed have ultra skulk. Um, so you want to, um, Idolan, you want to do you just you're just using you're just wandering down to maybe the, uh, Alchemist's Quarter and using Mark 1 eyeball and seeing what you see. Okay. Um, go ahead and just give me a prowl, um, a prowl roll. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:42:38 PM] Veth** Ultraskulk. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:43:09 PM] Veth** yep yep --- **[3/28/2026, 3:43:09 PM] Debinani** Because the place is crawling with Reclaimer Circle. Luckily, you generally know who they all are, they're not a huge gang. Wow, well, okay. Um, all right. So, okay. So, uh, you go a-skulking, um, and, um, uh, down in the the area of, um, of, um, you know, Charterhall, uh, that that they operate in, the Alchemist's Quarter, um, I'm trying to remember with the map, maybe having the map will help, because my brain certainly isn't helping. Alchemist's Parish, um, and, um, you, you are just kind of making your way like down, um, uh, what is that, Cinnabar Street, and you, you actually get confronted by two, two guys. They're not, um, uh, they're not in the Reclaimer Circle, but at least one of them was, uh, one of the hired thugs from the alley, and, um, you get, you get stopped pretty forcefully, and, uh, they're like, um, they're like "You're kidding, right? You, you don't want to come down this part of town. Get out." And they, they, you know, um, make it apparent that they're armed and they have firearms and they will shoot you in the head if you don't leave. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:43:29 PM] Eidolon** Prowl Risky | Standard Failure Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity. 2 2 2d6 = 4 = 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:43:37 PM] Veth** well damnit. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:45:13 PM] Debinani** Okay. Um, so, uh, you, uh, back out and, uh, let us assume that the Reclaimers are watching the Alchemist's Parish like a freaking hawk and typical surveillance is not going to work to figure out, uh, where they actually operate from. That's the lost opportunity. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:45:23 PM] Eidolon** Eidolon holds his hands out in a submissive gesture. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:45:28 PM] Eidolon** As you wish. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:46:17 PM] Debinani** They definitely can be. All right. Um, ghosts are incredibly, uh, uh, unreliable. Um, what sort of approach would you have to, uh, to try to see if a, uh, a ghost, um, knows anything about the Reclaimer Circle? I mean, they are smugglers, it's not outside of reason that they would be smuggling stuff through the same tunnels that you guys are using, considering the fact that you guys stole your maps from them. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:46:19 PM] Veth** d6s are evil. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:46:31 PM] Michelle** Let's take this underground and check for spirits there --- **[3/28/2026, 3:46:42 PM] Michelle** If Crow wants a shot at it --- **[3/28/2026, 3:47:39 PM] Rob** That works. I do have Ghost Mind, which makes me ware of their presence, so I can look for some in our tunnels and see what I can get out of them. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:47:53 PM] Debinani** Okay. So you, you head to the tunnels, um, um, and, um, uh, you look around for, uh, any spirits that might be loitering around, um, around the the Alchemist's Parish. Um, let's make a fortune roll. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:47:54 PM] Random** i do have a ghost friend, I could ask nicely to go chat with the spirits in the alchemists parish and see if we can get a lead. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:48:31 PM] Debinani** Okay. Um, you do, uh, you do find a, uh, yeah, no kidding. Um, you do actually encounter a, uh, a spirit that doesn't seem like too far gone, um, down, down in the tunnels. It's kind of blue electroplasmic aura coming off of it. It's a, just a looks like a, um, an old, an old man in a, um, uh, slightly out of fashion, but, um, you know, slightly out of fashion, you know, business suit. Um, go ahead and roll attune, if you want to try to, uh, communicate with him. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:48:36 PM] Debinani** Fortune Failure The result is bad. You have poor or little effect. 1 3 2d6 = 4 = 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:48:43 PM] Rob** Misfortune is my name. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:49:29 PM] Debinani** Uh, go ahead, yes, absolutely. Take an extra die. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:49:35 PM] Rob** Does Ghost Mind add d6 to this? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:49:57 PM] Crow** Attune Risky | Standard Partial Success You do it, but there's a consequence: you suffer harm, a complication occurs, you have reduced effect, you end up in a desperate position. 4 3 2d6 = 7 = 7 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:50:01 PM] Debinani** Okay. Um, oh, no, you didn't. Um, you want to, uh, go ahead and do it again, why not? Unless you want to take the partial without the extra die. Go ahead and just roll one die, we'll add it, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see. Or you can roll- oh, shit, oh my god. Okay, just roll one dice, and if it's higher than four, we'll take that. You guys are rolling for shit today. There we go. Okay. Um, all right. So, um, so you, you kind of attune to the ghost field and, uh, and, uh, it, uh, the the ghost takes notice of you and you you have a little bit of a, you know, you get a a little bit of a chill, um, but, uh, uh, you've got your, you've got your, uh, demon- your spirit-bane charm and, uh, um, and it kind of he kind of gives you a look. He's like, he's like, "What do you want?" --- **[3/28/2026, 3:50:11 PM] Rob** Dammit.

You'd be cranky too if you were dead and haunting a sewer. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:51:55 PM] Veth** Truth. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:51:58 PM] Crow** Evenin'. I'm just looking for some information about who might've been trapsing around down here. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:52:00 PM] Debinani** "Yeah, lots of folks here and there. They, they come and they go and they sneak and they crawl and they get high and they fuck and they die and they all the living people." --- **[3/28/2026, 3:52:11 PM] Crow** And maybe you need a favor in return that I can help with. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:52:41 PM] Debinani** Most ghosts are like stark raving zombie lunatics that are just trying to like steal life force from people, so you're, you're doing pretty good. Wow, these dice suck today. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:52:57 PM] Crow** Any particular ones that come through regularly? Like traveling from one place to another and back again? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:53:19 PM] Debinani** Fortune Failure The result is bad. You have poor or little effect. 2 2 2d6 = 4 = 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:53:32 PM] Debinani** I- once you get a little- yeah. Um, so he he goes on for a while. Um, so long that you're starting to get bored and wondering if you're going to get anything out of this guy. Um, and, but but finally he he does say, "And then there's those, those fellows with the cart, the with the with the handcart. They always seem to be going back and forth from over here", and he ways vaguely in the direction of of where, um, the Alchemist's Parish is, "to, uh, a basement over, uh, underneath the University". And he gestures through some tunnels and and kind of gives you a vague idea of of of where this this basement might be. "It's usually the same ones traipsing back and forth, smoking foul weeds." --- **[3/28/2026, 3:53:44 PM] Rob** He's just going to complain how people used the streets in his day when smuggling, isn't he? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:55:20 PM] Debinani** "Back in my day, we smoked better, better pipe leaf than whatever foul goat dung they're...". He goes on and on about about the merits of, um, high-quality pipe tobacco for a while. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:55:22 PM] Crow** Geeze, I have no idea what this world is coming to. Smoking stuff like that. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:55:28 PM] Veth** Baaack in myyyy day we smoked flowers, not weeeeeds. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:56:03 PM] Crow** Do you happen to know where the basement is, exactly? Maybe I can do something about them befouling your territory. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:56:05 PM] Veth** well now we know how he died. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:56:15 PM] Debinani** Let's, let's make a sway roll and see what happens. Um, I'll give you a devil's bargain if you want an extra die. Devil's bargain is, I'll give you an extra die to, uh, convince him to lead you straight to whatever basement he's referring to. Um, the, uh, downside is, you may not be the only one he tells. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:57:00 PM] Rob** I was going to say no, but you've been dying to have one of us take it. So sure. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:57:14 PM] Rob** Okay, then I'll stick to my 1d. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:57:17 PM] Veth** Do iiiiit --- **[3/28/2026, 3:57:20 PM] Debinani** "Fuck off! It's that way!" And he just keeps, he just keeps carrying on about, and he actually starts wandering off, just keeps carrying on about people in sewers smoking terrible pipe weed and, eventually, eventually you give up on him and he he fades out and goes away. But, I mean, you've got a, uh, why yes, absolutely it does. That is how you saw who all raided what's-his-fuck's place, um, his apartment. And he did give you kind of- I mean you know these you know you know the undercity under Charterhall really well, um, and so you've got a fair enough sense of where he was gesturing. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:57:22 PM] Crow** Sway Risky | Standard Failure Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity. 2 1d6 = 2 = 2 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:57:33 PM] Rob** Nope. He just rants on and on. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:57:59 PM] Random** sniff the air. can you track the pipeweed? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:58:00 PM] Rob** Does human activity leave any sort of trace in the ghost field? --- **[3/28/2026, 3:58:34 PM] Rob** Right. Then I'll try Attuning and seeing if I can use the info he gave me to maybe 'see' it for myself. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:58:34 PM] Debinani** All right. Go right ahead. Okay. Nothing in between. No like partial successes here. It's just y'all either do it or you fail miserably today. Um, okay. So, uh, yeah, so you kind of wander through the tunnels in that general direction and, uh, you're constantly you've got your you've got your your spirit mask on and you're you're kind of trudging along and eventually you you see an echo of two men with a, um, wheelbarrow. Uh, one of whom is definitely a member of the Reclaimer Circle, you you recognize him. And, uh, um, he he you you kind of follow them rolling the wheelbarrow down the the tunnel, yeah, it's Steve, and, um, and, uh, you come to a heavy metal door. And it's heavy metal door with a keyhole. Um, you are somewhere, uh, somewhere near the university campus, definitely in the Glass Keys territory, um, but here in the undercity that doesn't mean much. Um, and these guys definitely, you see them, you know, take a key out, unlock the door, roll the wheelbarrow in and, you know, come out a little bit later. So, yeah. Uh, and those echoes are probably, I don't know, maybe a month or two old. --- **[3/28/2026, 3:58:50 PM] Crow** Attune Risky | Standard Success You do it. 6 3 2d6 = 9 = 9 --- **[3/28/2026, 3:58:57 PM] Rob** Hallelujah! --- **[3/28/2026, 3:59:37 PM] Rob** Steve. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:00:29 PM] Debinani** No, nor should you. Okay. So, uh, you come back and report in, "Hey, talked to a ghost, found a door, uh, Reclaimers at some point in the last couple of months took some stuff through the door. Maybe it's a thing." --- **[3/28/2026, 4:00:35 PM] Rob** I'll go let the others know. Sticking around and breaking in is not my thing. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:00:49 PM] Veth** well done :) --- **[3/28/2026, 4:02:10 PM] Debinani** Um, yeah, I mean you absolutely could, if you wanted to. Certainly from across like Greener Imperial Avenue, um, uh, probably not great from the park, you really just kind of see people come and go. I mean, you got to remember I mean most of, most of Duskwall is really, really built up. Uh, Charterhall a little less so, but even Charterhall like the average height of a building is like three to four stories. Yeah, they, they, they know you're the, you're the shooter of, of, of a scratch, so, plus they've hired your friend assassin away and he's not your friend anymore, so. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:02:12 PM] Michelle** If Cam can sneak onto a rooftop (taking the tunnels closer), she can survey the Reclaimer's territory without entering it. Or from the adjacent park. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:03:02 PM] Michelle** Or they'll shoot me for killing their guy. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:03:18 PM] Debinani** Okay. Um, yeah, not a big deal. Um, uh, if you want to stay hidden, uh, let's do prowl. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:03:26 PM] Michelle** ok. Let's try finding a quiet way onto a rooftop nearby --- **[3/28/2026, 4:03:46 PM] Michelle** Cam has no friends. :P --- **[3/28/2026, 4:03:57 PM] Debinani** Now that was pressing. Okay. Um, okay. So, uh, uh, you also, uh, you know, you, uh, um, you, you, you went across the canal and, uh, uh, got up to the rooftops and crossed a bunch of rooftops to some, uh, some brownstones and hopped over this particular ramp and down this down this, uh, uh, gutter and across and up this roof and, and, uh, uh, you you go and look over these eaves across Green Avenue down into the into the parish and, uh, um, on the roof of the brownstone across from you, there's a, uh, guy with a rifle, and, uh, um, he just he he gives you a, uh, very slow meaningful shake of the head. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:04:03 PM] Cam** Prowl Risky | Standard Failure Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity. 2 1d6 = 2 = 2 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:04:09 PM] Michelle** dangit --- **[3/28/2026, 4:04:55 PM] Rob** She finds desperados under the eaves? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:05:10 PM] Debinani** Probably smart. Um, by the time you get back, uh, Crow has gotten back and tells his tale of, of, ghostly hijinks. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:05:13 PM] Rob** (That might have been too obscure) --- **[3/28/2026, 4:05:18 PM] Cam** Cam shrugs and goes back the way she came --- **[3/28/2026, 4:06:28 PM] Crow** Seems like a place we should check out and see if we can make use of it. Either putting something there or taking something from them. Or both. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:06:45 PM] Debinani** Yeah, that door, it's it's definitely, uh, much closer to the university. Uh, it may even be under one of the university buildings. But again, it's the undercity, doesn't necessarily mean it's like the Glass Keys' domain or anything. Yeah, he waved vaguely in the direction of the Alchemist Parish. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:06:51 PM] Michelle** The door was at the University end, wasn't it? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:07:17 PM] Michelle** And he didn't specify where they started --- **[3/28/2026, 4:07:51 PM] Debinani** Nyx is in the corner piping some sort of slightly glowing purplish liquid into a dead rat, nobody's quite sure why. I think the question is, uh, I think the question is what is it? What's there? And is it, is it clear that, um, is it clear that they're that it's a Reclaimer Circle stash or not? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:08:10 PM] Michelle** It's a location, but it's outside their territory... How obvious would it be to someone else that the Reclaimers were going that way? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:08:19 PM] Michelle** Thinking in text here for the group --- **[3/28/2026, 4:08:32 PM] Rob** Crow can always look around a bit more for the other end of it. He sort of has a trail to follow now. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:08:40 PM] Michelle** It'd be neat to frame the Reclaimers inside Glasskey territory. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:08:49 PM] Rob** Nyx is the alt-reality Herbert West, isn't she? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:08:57 PM] Eidolon** Seems like we need to get inside. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:09:09 PM] Random** well do need to reconnoiter it. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:09:20 PM] Cam** Raises a lot of questions, for sure. What are they hauling over there that regularly? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:09:23 PM] Debinani** It's easy for you guys to do it quietly when Watcher's here, oh but he's not. I mean, it's a big heavy metal door in a tunnel. Yeah, but I mean if you start like doing group rolls and stuff like that, I mean, surely somebody'll succeed, right? I mean it's not like these tunnels are- like there's people running around these tunnels. I mean if you go over to like Night Market or, um, Crow's Foot, the undercity is very, very heavily populated. In Charterhall, it's really just like sluiceways, sewers, a maze of old basements. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:09:25 PM] Crow** Yeah. Only question is can we do it quietly. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:09:53 PM] Michelle** Our stealth sucks today! --- **[3/28/2026, 4:10:22 PM] Eidolon** I could watch it until someone comes out, but.. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:10:29 PM] Eidolon** That could be a while. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:10:46 PM] Debinani** Nyx is certainly pretty good at getting through doors. You got your, you got your two, you got your two, uh, whispers. You got a sneak and you got you. And your little dog too. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:10:50 PM] Cam** Cam does a headcount --- **[3/28/2026, 4:11:10 PM] Crow** I don't think we can afford to wait that long. Pointing fingers at the Reclaimers helps us in more than one way right now. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:11:22 PM] Eidolon** Yeah. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:11:26 PM] Debinani** Okay. So, I'm assuming you're going to go, uh, tunnels, you're going to go quiet, um, and this is essentially a stealth approach, get in there, see what it is, make some decisions about whether you're going to drop the, uh, drop the evidence or not. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:11:36 PM] Cam** Let's go take a look. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:11:36 PM] Rob** And we want to get in and out unseen, of [pssob;e. so we're not going in looking for a fight. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:11:59 PM] Michelle** yes --- **[3/28/2026, 4:12:21 PM] Debinani** Break Time On The Double Complete --- **[3/28/2026, 4:12:35 PM] Debinani** All right. Um, let's take a, let's take, let's only let's do a really quick bio break, let's just do five minutes and, uh, we'll, we'll hit that. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:18:56 PM] Michelle** whee --- **[3/28/2026, 4:19:23 PM] Rob** I just realized that if we plant something on the Reclaimers that points them to the University job, and it's sort-of in territory belonging to the Glasskeys, it may work out even more in our favor. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:19:54 PM] Michelle** That's kind of what I was saying. hehe --- **[3/28/2026, 4:20:15 PM] Michelle** yes --- **[3/28/2026, 4:20:23 PM] Rob** This counts as a job, so we're picking Load and such? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:21:07 PM] Veth** Damnit we forgot the rocket launchers! --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:03 PM] Veth** I feel like I should remember how to do this. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:05 PM] Rob** None of us trust ourselves to roll dice. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:12 PM] Michelle** I haven't yet, so can do --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:18 PM] Eidolon** Engagement 0d Failure Bad result. You're in a desperate position when the action starts. 1 6 2d6 = 7 = 7 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:29 PM] Debinani** Okay. All right. Well, everybody, everybody, uh, everybody who rolled engagement after that got the same, same result. So, okay. So, uh, yeah, uh, nobody in the tunnels. Uh, you get to the doors and, uh, or the door. Um, and, uh, because you, uh, um, rolled fairly well on the engagement roll, I will say that, um, you actually right before, yeah, you guys go to the door, there's nobody there, um, and Nyx is about to, to like get her lock picks out and, and touch the door and Boo like grabs her and stops her and, and, and has, uh, Crow come over and points out that there's, um, protection wards all over the door. And, uh, I'll say because your engagement roll was good, um, you both together disable the wards without any sort of, any sort of problems. So, the door was warded, um, and, uh, they were nasty too, it would have like made noise and probably hurt y'all, um, but, uh, that's out of the way. And so, uh, we'll just have Nyx try to get to the door. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:32 PM] Veth** I don't know. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:36 PM] Cam** Engagement Success Good result. You're in a controlled position when the action starts. 6 1 2d6 = 7 = 7 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:36 PM] Debinani** Engagement Success Good result. You're in a controlled position when the action starts. 4 6 2d6 = 10 = 10 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:22:37 PM] Veth** I just picked that one. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:23:54 PM] Debinani** Tinker, yeah. Um, unless anybody wants to spend a stress to help. Okay. Um, so, uh, we'll reroll that. Idolan, uh, uh, came in and, uh, and, uh, is, is helping listen at the lock to see if- to listen for tumblers. Uh, go ahead and roll again but add an extra die this time. Just because I'm feeling nice. And the dice have been awful today. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:24:09 PM] Random** I will --- **[3/28/2026, 4:24:21 PM] Nyx** Tinker Risky | Standard Failure Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity. 3 1 2d6 = 4 = 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:24:22 PM] Veth** I can. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:24:52 PM] Debinani** Okay. So, uh, uh, so Idolan you take one stress, uh, Nyx, uh, with Idolan's help, click, um, lock picked. Uh, you guys open the door real quiet-like and, uh, you pull out your your very dim little algae bioluminescent lanterns and, um, um, it's a pretty nice space. Uh, it is, uh, clean and cool and dry. Um, most of it is a storehouse. So unlike the basement of the antique shop that was just a whole bunch of crap piled up everywhere, this is... um, well, let's describe the room. The room, it it is a basement, it is in undercity, so it's all like cinder bricks. Um, it's very, very clean, it's dry. Um, um, and, uh, uh, the room's probably, oh, 30 feet by 30 feet, so it ain't tiny. And, um, uh, there are, um, uh, at least three-fourths of this room are rows of shelves, floor to ceiling shelves. Um, there, um, doesn't appear to be any other way in here, uh, although all of you like using the ghost echoes, you can see that there used to be a staircase leading down, it used to be over there in that corner, and it's been long since gone and boarded over. Um, and so, uh, um, and the shelves are just full of freaking everything. I mean, just, uh, um, you don't- it- it's not- nothing terribly valuable as far as you can tell, it's just trinkets, odds and ends, curiosities, bits of art, um, um, uh, you know, very carefully laid out and, um, each one has a little has a little, uh, script next to it, uh, like identifying it and, and whatnot. Um, on the quarter of the room that isn't, um, shelves, there, uh, is, uh, a couple of desks, uh, pens and ink, um, um, you know, drying sand, parchments, stuff like that, and a, um, a cabinet, uh, with like folders in it, like lots and lots and lots of, um, you know, essentially essentially a file cabinet with, uh, full of file folders. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:25:01 PM] Nyx** Tinker Risky | Standard Success You do it. 5 4 6 3d6 = 15 = 15 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:25:56 PM] Crow** (quietly) I'd like to file a complaint about our working space compared to our competitors, boss. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:26:08 PM] Cam** Cam snorts --- **[3/28/2026, 4:26:17 PM] Cam** Cam points a finger at everyone --- **[3/28/2026, 4:26:26 PM] Cam** Don't.

Or is it all just... trophies or something? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:32:14 PM] Rob** Fair enough. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:32:17 PM] Eidolon** Survey Risky | Standard Partial Success You do it, but there's a consequence: you suffer harm, a complication occurs, you have reduced effect, you end up in a desperate position. 4 1d6 = 4 = 4 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:32:21 PM] Random** do the dolly tracks seem lead to a secret inner door or something? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:32:35 PM] Rob** Crow will look but not touch. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:32:44 PM] Crow** Survey Risky | Standard Partial Success You do it, but there's a consequence: you suffer harm, a complication occurs, you have reduced effect, you end up in a desperate position. 5 1d6 = 5 = 5 --- **[3/28/2026, 4:32:49 PM] Cam** *ponders aloud* So why keep a treasure vault damn near Glasskey territory? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:33:17 PM] Crow** Crow shrugs --- **[3/28/2026, 4:33:32 PM] Eidolon** This here is valuable. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:33:42 PM] Crow** Maybe because it's not in their territory so they figured there's less chance of someone hitting it? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:33:55 PM] Boo** Boo not finding thhe track intersting will check out the shelves. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:33:57 PM] Boo** Survey Risky | Standard | 0d Failure Things go badly.

File cabinet, um, uh, so you open it up, you flip through it a little bit. Um, basically, the, uh, the files are sort of divided into two areas. There are files of things that people are looking for and files of things that they have found, um, uh, for people. So essentially what you've got is almost receipt by receipt, you've got, um, sort of a customer list of the Reclaimers and, uh, it's essentially, uh, a lot of the names are in code, but are they're very obviously in code, you know, um, but, um, people will go to the Reclaimers if, you know, they want a, uh, you know, valuable but illegal, uh, you know, thing stolen from somebody, right? So, um, it's basically a, a written admission to a heck of a lot of crimes. Um, and there's dozens of them in here. It looks like this cabinet is really the more important part of this room. It's really it's it's, um, you're actually surprised they keep receipts, um, you're not sure why somebody would do that, but it's literally the receipts of either crimes or people asking them to do crimes. I mean they're smugglers, so, you know, this is what they do. But, I mean, they literally keep the receipts. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:34:19 PM] Cam** Cam goes to check out the cabinet --- **[3/28/2026, 4:35:30 PM] Boo** Boo looks at the shelves, looks at Cam's back, back to the shelf, then bites her lip and sighs. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:35:33 PM] Cam** Wow. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:35:58 PM] Cam** This is our key to taking down the whole damn gang. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:36:03 PM] Crow** (quietly, to Boo) She has eyes in the back of her head. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:36:05 PM] Boo** Boo nods to Crow --- **[3/28/2026, 4:36:19 PM] Cam** The Bluecoats would love this. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:36:28 PM] Crow** It would be such a shame if someone let them know about it. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:36:31 PM] Eidolon** I know a guy. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:37:11 PM] Crow** Could our "evidence" fit in there or would it stand out in the wrong way? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:37:12 PM] Debinani** Yeah, I mean the, uh, um, so, um, it's, it's too bad Watcher and Wolf aren't with you, uh, they could they could probably forge something real quick. Um, but yeah, the evidence does not look like one of these receipts. But, um, since the receipts are here, this would almost certainly be the sort of place that somebody might plant such a job. I mean especially if you're going to if if you're leaving behind like one of the- one of the- one of the silver ingots, um, um, you know, as as kind of icing on the cake. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:37:18 PM] Cam** Our "evidence" is a little off for this kind of place, but putting it here would just add to the trouble. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:37:25 PM] Cam** Cam checks out the desk --- **[3/28/2026, 4:37:40 PM] Rob** They're with us in spirit. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:38:07 PM] Debinani** Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean there's- there's the desk has drawers, um, they are not all packed full. I mean you could certainly- you could certainly stash this in there. Okay. Evidence planted. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:38:16 PM] Michelle** If there's a drawer or something in the desk that isn't being used much, we could put it there. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:38:29 PM] Boo** Boo looks over Cam's shoulder. is there any indication (study) of what job might be coming up that they are planning? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:38:38 PM] Cam** Cam plants the evidence in a desk drawer --- **[3/28/2026, 4:38:40 PM] Debinani** Um, not really, no. Basically what you've got is you've got, um, what they do is when somebody says "I want you to go find X for me", they log it and they put it in here. And so there's a whole bunch of those. And then when they find X, they note that they have found it and they put it in the, you know sort of filled thing. And so essentially you've got their Rolodex and their sales ledger, um, but all the names are in code. Could you theoretically pour through them and figure out maybe who had been hiring them? Maybe eventually, but you would need to, um, you'd need to study them for a long period of time. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:39:26 PM] Cam** Just looks like requests. No guarantees on delivery. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:39:42 PM] Boo** Boo will take some notes (writing) to study later. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:39:56 PM] Rob** What does Forgery go off of? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:39:58 PM] Cam** I think we leave all this as is and tip off Eidolon's contact. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:04 PM] Debinani** Um, because you don't actually have- none of you actually have that as an option, um, um, in your, uh, um, in your, in your gear, it would be tough. Um, I would probably have it be a study. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:10 PM] Eidolon** Could tell the Glasskeys too. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:11 PM] Cam** Cam stares hard at everyone --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:22 PM] Cam** No taking souvenirs. We need all this where it is. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:24 PM] Boo** I've already said I'm not taking anything. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:36 PM] Rob** Ah, it's a gear thing. Never mind. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:48 PM] Debinani** Okay, you've sifted through the receipts, uh, Boo has scribbled down some, um, notes. You have broken a fairly low-value figurine. Um, there are- there's a shelf like on the floor floor, so there's actually no- there's no space beneath the bottom shelf and the floor. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:40:51 PM] Cam** Cam winks at Boo --- **[3/28/2026, 4:41:09 PM] Cam** I think the cops coming here will get their attention. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:41:13 PM] Random** how low to the floor arre the bottom of the shelves? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:41:39 PM] Random** I mean is there enough space thta something might have slipped under... ah...ok. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:41:46 PM] Crow** Did you see a receipt for the figurine that was never there? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:41:46 PM] Debinani** Yeah, no. Um, you, uh, you flip through pretty quick and you really don't see- you really don't see anything that refers to that figurine. Which is probably why it's sitting on a shelf. They didn't, you know, it was probably incidental and, you know, haven't found a buyer yet. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:13 PM] Michelle** I guess we could check for anything on the item we broke --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:18 PM] Michelle** Paperwork --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:21 PM] Eidolon** What about the wards? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:39 PM] Random** no indicators of a hidden safe anywhere? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:42 PM] Debinani** Uh, what about the wards? Um, no, nobody's really noticed any sign of a hidden safe anywhere. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:44 PM] Cam** Doesn't look like anything's here. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:52 PM] Crow** Good. Then nothing further to clean up. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:42:56 PM] Cam** Let's just take the debris and their paper with us. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:43:12 PM] Veth** don't we need to replace them? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:43:29 PM] Debinani** Um, that would be very, very hard to do. Uh, those wards were placed there probably by a, uh, an adept or a wis- a full-fledged whisper. Um, and they're going to be very customized to that. Um, anybody who knows how to deal with the wards would know that they were different. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:43:34 PM] Eidolon** So we need this place found before they come back --- **[3/28/2026, 4:43:46 PM] Michelle** Not sure we have the ability. :\ We better hope the cops come quick --- **[3/28/2026, 4:44:10 PM] Eidolon** I'd better hurry. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:44:15 PM] Debinani** Yeah, you probably, you know, they will- if if anybody from the Reclaimers show up and the wards are gone they'll know something's afoot. I mean, uh, uh, Crow or or Boo could put wards back, but they wouldn't be those wards. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:44:19 PM] Cam** Time to head home. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:44:20 PM] Crow** Crow nods --- **[3/28/2026, 4:44:23 PM] Eidolon** Eidolon starts heading for the exit. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:44:26 PM] Cam** And hope this works! --- **[3/28/2026, 4:44:49 PM] Debinani** Okay. So you guys are going to hightail it back home, and Idolan is going to make a, uh, anonymous tip, uh, with the- with his bluecoat friend that if they're looking for a big break in the university case, they might want to check this particular door in this particular tunnel under the, under the the University. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:45:00 PM] Veth** yep yep --- **[3/28/2026, 4:45:21 PM] Debinani** All right. Um, what else? Anything more than that besides just kind of passing along a tip and, you know, kind of would be a big deal? Obviously it was a big theft, I mean, at least, uh, you know, a whole bunch of professors didn't get paid and, I mean, that was a lot of money to be stolen. Are you guys going to like tip off the Glass Keys or are you just are you just tipping off the the bluecoats and see what happens? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:45:46 PM] Rob** I'm going to suggest just tipping off the bluecoats. The Glasskeys will find out soon enough. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:45:54 PM] Veth** I think the bluecoats is the play, if we tip off the glasskeys that could blow back on us later. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:45:55 PM] Rob** And we do want the Bluecoats to get ther efirst. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:46:10 PM] Debinani** Okay. So you all, uh, you leave, you close the door, uh, you relock it, um, and try to make it look like you weren't ever there except for the the thing you broke. Um, and, uh, y'all head back to the lair. Idolan goes and, uh, lets his buddy know that, um, that, uh, um, you know, there might be an interesting break in the case and you, uh, you all head back home. And, uh, that's where we'll end. We'll, uh, we'll see what happens with the bluecoats later. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:46:27 PM] Michelle** Same. I figure the activity will get noted. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:46:52 PM] Debinani** Um, everybody make your case for experience points. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:08 PM] Veth** for as bad as we rolled this went really well. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:25 PM] Michelle** We used skills, just poorly. lol --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:26 PM] Eidolon** Um.. contact usage and exceptionally bad rolls. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:31 PM] Eidolon** I guess --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:31 PM] Debinani** You definitely addressed a challenge with arcane usage and power. Cam let's see, uh, you addressed a challenge with tracking or violence. Your expressed your beliefs drives your heritage, you struggle with issues from your vice or traumas. Not a lot of tracking or violence. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:32 PM] Rob** I addressed a challenge with knowledge or arcane power? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:50 PM] Boo** Cam kept me from taking a souvineer. hard as it was I didn't. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:52 PM] Cam** Cam rounded up our forged evidence --- **[3/28/2026, 4:47:57 PM] Eidolon** indeed --- **[3/28/2026, 4:48:10 PM] Debinani** Uh, I will say Boo, yes you did actually struggle, um, with your, uh, your, I guess vice or whatever it is. So, um, definitely Boo, definitely, uh, uh, Crow, definitely Nyx for, uh, um, you know, tinking- tinkering your way to victory. Um, let's see, Idolan, what you got? Eh, I don't know if, if turning somebody in is counts as stealth or evasion. I don't really think anything fits there now. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:48:15 PM] Cam** Yeah, doesn't really fit in there --- **[3/28/2026, 4:48:25 PM] Cam** That's fine --- **[3/28/2026, 4:48:37 PM] Cam** lol. That's true! --- **[3/28/2026, 4:48:57 PM] Debinani** Um, and for the crew, because this was technically a job, uh, I would definitely say you definitely executed a succ- a successful espionage operation. Challenges above your current station, bolster your crew- yep. Okay, I'm going to give you all one XP for it. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:49:02 PM] Veth** I don't think I did anything that fits? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:49:19 PM] Eidolon** I got xp through training cause I had nothing else to do. :P --- **[3/28/2026, 4:49:34 PM] Debinani** Extra XP because the dice are terrible. Um, okay, well, um, so, um, I don't think you're going to get heat for that at all. Um, and I guess probably two rep just because you get two rep just for doing anything and you guys did something. Yeah, that last XP was for the crew. Um, and so I will add, uh, two rep for the crew. Oh, and that actually takes you to, uh, the ability to upgrade. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:49:40 PM] Veth** woot --- **[3/28/2026, 4:49:44 PM] Boo** is tthat to us or to the crew? --- **[3/28/2026, 4:50:09 PM] Michelle** THat last xp was the crew --- **[3/28/2026, 4:50:14 PM] Rob** The point was to put heat on someone else, so I hope we don't get any. :P --- **[3/28/2026, 4:50:14 PM] Debinani** No, you wouldn't, you wouldn't, there, there's no heat. You didn't really steal anything, you were very, very quiet, nobody saw you, you know. Theoretically it could be argued that the heat in Charterhall will go up, but, uh, you're actually trying to like pin your wanted level on somebody else. So we'll, we'll, we'll see how that works out. Um, so your rep is maxed out, um, that means that you guys are qualified for a tier upgrade. Um, we'll do that next session, um, because I have to read the rules. I know it costs some coin, uh, because you're generally, your business is booming and you're generally, you know, upgrading your conditions, like your lair gets better and and all sorts of things happen. So we'll deal with that later. Um, boop boop boop boop. I'm going to take a note of that. You'll go from tier zero to tier one, which is pretty awesome. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:51:10 PM] Eidolon** Yeah, more input from people too --- **[3/28/2026, 4:51:27 PM] Debinani** Um, all right. So, that's where we will end for today. Um, doop doop doop doop. Where is my calendar? Um, I'm good the 11th, 11th. All right, the 11th it is. See you then. Catch you later. Thank you. Bye. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:51:57 PM] Random** good for me --- **[3/28/2026, 4:51:59 PM] Eidolon** Good as usual. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:52:01 PM] Michelle** Shoudl be ok --- **[3/28/2026, 4:52:01 PM] Rob** Should be good for me. --- **[3/28/2026, 4:52:15 PM] Eidolon** Thanks deb! seeya then --- **[3/28/2026, 4:52:15 PM] Rob** Yup. Thanks, Deb! --- **[3/28/2026, 4:52:20 PM] Cam** Thanks Deb! --- **[3/28/2026, 4:52:20 PM] Eidolon** Later guys ---
