**[4/25/2026, 2:15:20 PM] Cam** Tinker Risky | Standard | 0d Failure Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity. 1 2 2d6 = 3 = 3 --- **[4/25/2026, 2:27:40 PM] Rob** You were heard --- **[4/25/2026, 2:27:57 PM] Michelle** uh oh --- **[4/25/2026, 2:28:02 PM] Michelle** hang on --- **[4/25/2026, 2:28:19 PM] Rob** You got Desius' headache and Mayvik's sound problems? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:28:22 PM] Michelle** Try again, please? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:28:29 PM] Michelle** There it is --- **[4/25/2026, 2:28:38 PM] Michelle** I'm not using my headset today, and Discord is being stupid --- **[4/25/2026, 2:29:27 PM] Veth** I don't think Lancaster is going to ground. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:29:34 PM] Rob** Discord is always being stupid. After an update to it the other day I lost the notification alert sound. Got it back by enabling the desktop alert. Fortunately it still worked after I disabled it again. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:29:57 PM] Rob** Lancaster is going to ground. About 6 feet underground... --- **[4/25/2026, 2:29:58 PM] Michelle** Gotta love it --- **[4/25/2026, 2:30:08 PM] Michelle** didn't we dispose of Lancaster's body somehow? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:30:14 PM] Veth** So underground much underground --- **[4/25/2026, 2:30:17 PM] Debinani** You melted it down in a tub. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:30:30 PM] Michelle** That was it --- **[4/25/2026, 2:30:40 PM] Rob** The Breaking Bad method? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:30:53 PM] Random** do we get 1 or 2 downtimes? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:31:19 PM] debinani** Okay. So when we let's change our scene here. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:31:27 PM] Kristian** Carrier has arrived --- **[4/25/2026, 2:32:02 PM] debinani** Okay, so when we left off you had found Lancaster's body and found Lancaster's ghost in a carriage house. The carriage house was incredibly protected and hidden from the prying eyes of spirit wardens and who knows who else. You got quite a bit of his equipment, quite a bit of his crazed but encrypted notes on the wall and bottled up his ghost and returned to your lair. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:32:40 PM] debinani** So what we will do today is, just to make sure we're all in agreement, we're going to go with workshop and quarters for your upgrade, right? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:33:09 PM] Veth** Si. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:33:11 PM] debinani** Okay. So y'all decide to spend a little money on yourselves. You, with Mistress Ash's help, you discover that there's a another building, quite ancient beneath where you are. So you actually dig down and find the, you know, the another layer of city. And quite a number of rooms, several barracks rooms, quite a number of rooms that could be private rooms, enough space to build a workshop. Generally, the basements of Charter Hall have not reached down this far so you guys can spread out quite a bit, you know, under this block of brownstones. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:33:14 PM] Cam** yes --- **[4/25/2026, 2:33:18 PM] Kristian** yarp --- **[4/25/2026, 2:33:31 PM] Random** yub --- **[4/25/2026, 2:34:07 PM] Watcher** Watcher fallout shelter, the RPG --- **[4/25/2026, 2:34:11 PM] debinani** So that is basically how that works. Because your lair is hidden, you don't generally get a lot of help with this. You all kind of do it yourselves, but you go out and you buy new gear. Generally, just everybody's quality of life goes up quite a bit. This is going to take some time and we'll it'll all just sort of be part of the downtime. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:34:27 PM] Jason G** meant to be /ooc --- **[4/25/2026, 2:34:44 PM] debinani** The really big news is that y'all have a place to sleep. All of you were essentially sleeping on the streets or crashing with friends and relations or whatever. And so it's kind of a big deal that y'all have a safe, hidden just place to crash now. So that's awesome. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:35:16 PM] debinani** And you set up the workshop, you buy new gear for the crew and so on. Indeed, especially your big crane. Let's talk about some of these clocks. The Red Sashes are not going to find Lancaster. Lancaster is not going to go to ground because he's dead and Inspector Holt is not going to find Lancaster. So that simplifies things quite a bit. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:35:34 PM] Veth** Guys! Crime does pay! --- **[4/25/2026, 2:35:53 PM] Rob** Remember to check yourself for missing body parts each morning. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:35:55 PM] debinani** Definitely check yourselves for missing body parts each morning because Nix is going to be Nix. All right. So let's talk about getting paid. So I assume y'all are going to call Locket and at least tell him you have taken care of the Lancaster problem. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:36:35 PM] Rob** We took his head, right? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:36:38 PM] Michelle** With a head for proof --- **[4/25/2026, 2:36:38 PM] debinani** Yeah, I think you actually did, yeah. You do indeed have a spirit in a bottle. You don't necessarily need to tell Locket that. He didn't That wasn't part of the deal. So zooming back quite a number of sleeps, the deal was he was going to pay you four coin to make the Lancaster problem go away and offered up bonuses if you guys had his black book or his formulas. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:36:39 PM] Jason G** did we need a timer for studying Lancaster's notes? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:37:07 PM] Random** we do have is spirit in a bottle too --- **[4/25/2026, 2:37:28 PM] debinani** You don't have either of those things although you think you have a pretty good lead on how you would either reverse engineer them or if you wanted the black book you'd probably have to go and break into the police lockup. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:38:26 PM] debinani** Yeah, and I mean you really don't have them yet. It's just Nix is pretty sure she could reverse engineer them at this point. Yeah, I'm sure he'd be willing to pay for additional intel in the future. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:38:32 PM] Michelle** Given how nasty his formulas were, not sure we want to give those up --- **[4/25/2026, 2:38:41 PM] Michelle** 4 coin is a good haul on its own --- **[4/25/2026, 2:38:50 PM] Random** I do vote to send a job done cake. and a "we might have some leads" on the other two action items. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:38:55 PM] Jason G** the poison AND the antidote --- **[4/25/2026, 2:39:06 PM] debinani** Okay, so we're going to call Locket to the bar and have a chat with him. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:39:40 PM] Michelle** yep --- **[4/25/2026, 2:40:10 PM] debinani** Sorry, just one second. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:40:51 PM] debinani** Okay, so you send a message over to Locket and within some number of hours he arrives. He sidles into the Incan Anvil and you guys have a there's a small private-ish backroom behind the bar and you're all kind of loitering around in there as you are wont to do and he comes in. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:41:30 PM] debinani** And he rolls in and has a seat and "So, I hear tell you've got some news." --- **[4/25/2026, 2:41:55 PM] Cam** Cam nods to him --- **[4/25/2026, 2:42:06 PM] debinani** "Oh, you don't say. What seemed to have happened to the dear professor?" "Ah, that's too bad." And he looks at it for a second then he kind of opens it with two fingers and peeks in and sets it back down. "Well, that's quite dramatic of you." --- **[4/25/2026, 2:42:08 PM] Cam** Lancaster won't be a problem anymore. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:42:33 PM] Freakshow** Terminal fear. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:42:36 PM] Cam** The poor man had an unfortunate accident. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:42:42 PM] Boo** Boo thinks 'he lost his head', but just watches for someone else to speak --- **[4/25/2026, 2:42:44 PM] Cam** Cam sets the bag with the head in it on the table --- **[4/25/2026, 2:43:00 PM] debinani** "Had an accident, you say? Any sign of his list or his recipes? I have a sneaking suspicion that the list is in police custody, eh? Based on the news that's been coming out the last couple of weeks." --- **[4/25/2026, 2:43:26 PM] Cam** Happens to the best at times. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:43:56 PM] Cam** Cam nods again --- **[4/25/2026, 2:43:58 PM] Jason G** we're going to let him think we offed him ourselves? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:43:59 PM] Cam** So we've heard as well. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:44:08 PM] Michelle** No reason not to at this point --- **[4/25/2026, 2:44:21 PM] Boo** that's the word on the street to be sure. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:44:24 PM] debinani** "Any opportunities to get ahold of his poison or perhaps the antidote? Or even the recipe or even a hint of what it could be? Believe the boss is willing to pay quite handsomely for it." --- **[4/25/2026, 2:44:59 PM] debinani** "Hmm, very well then. Seems that just about everybody was after this guy and apparently you found him first. Good on you." And he reaches into his jacket and pulls out four kind of hefty sacks of cash and plunks them down on the table quite meaningfully. "If you don't mind, y'all can dispose of that head however you want. I don't need to bring it with me. Very good. I'm somewhat surprised you actually managed to take hold of a piece of the body. The spirit wardens didn't get him, eh? Or did they get the rest of him?" --- **[4/25/2026, 2:45:04 PM] Cam** Not yet, I'm afraid, but we're following up on some other leads for that. Hopefully that pans out/ --- **[4/25/2026, 2:45:19 PM] Veth** turns out it's a recipe for mouthwash. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:45:45 PM] Veth** Nyx will be pleased. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:45:47 PM] Rob** Mouthwash that causes you to keel over dead after 1 week? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:45:53 PM] Cam** Cam collects the bag, including the head --- **[4/25/2026, 2:45:57 PM] Cam** We can do that. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:46:08 PM] Veth** I mean have you ever drank a bunch of mouthwash for a week? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:46:26 PM] Freakshow** She's quite sneaky. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:46:32 PM] debinani** I mean, if you want him to think that you killed him, there's no reason why you couldn't take his head and leave the body behind. If you don't want him to think that you killed him, finding the body before the spirit wardens is a bit of a mystery. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:46:36 PM] Michelle** hmm. How to answer this one... --- **[4/25/2026, 2:47:12 PM] Jason G** The wardens got someone.... I'm sure.. not someone they can recognize? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:47:26 PM] Jason G** because of the head? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:47:28 PM] debinani** And your crew does have a reputation for being weird, mysterious, and spooky. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:47:30 PM] Random** pass it off as our mysterious ways, but we are discreet after all. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:47:45 PM] Cam** Cam smiles a bit --- **[4/25/2026, 2:48:00 PM] debinani** "Well, that's good to hear. So, in other news, some interesting developments with your friends the Reclaimer Circle, eh? Seems there's quite a bit of evidence that they were responsible for the theft at the university. Don't underestimate Mr. Aldric Venn, he's clever and shrewd and he's managed to be in this business for decades and decades longer than most of you have been alive. So, it is interesting." --- **[4/25/2026, 2:48:05 PM] Cam** The body and spirit are no longer a problem either. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:48:10 PM] Jason G** Oh no, see - he's in this bottle, that's why they didn't get him.. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:48:41 PM] Cam** Cam raises her brows --- **[4/25/2026, 2:48:42 PM] Cam** Really? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:48:45 PM] Freakshow** Oh? They don't seem smart enough for that. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:49:06 PM] debinani** "The boss was curious. It's a shame the blue coats found it before any of us did, eh? I assume you mean Mr. Inspector Holt? Yes, he's been he's a new assignment at the Charter Hall station and he's been giving quite a lot of people quite a lot of problems. So we'll have to keep our eye on him. He seems, oh how should we put it, dismayingly uncorruptible." --- **[4/25/2026, 2:49:44 PM] Veth** He knows something! KILLL HIIIIIIM! --- **[4/25/2026, 2:50:01 PM] Cam** *shakes head* After dancing around that inspector of theirs, can't say I'm surprised. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:50:46 PM] Boo** how unfortunate --- **[4/25/2026, 2:50:50 PM] debinani** "Yes, indeed." He kind of gives you all a very pointed look. "It's very curious. Just not the Reclaimer Circle's style to go into larceny like that, at least not for cash. But I suppose Aldric might be getting a little desperate." "In any event, good work with Lancaster. And remember what I told you, wars are bad for business. This business between you and the Reclaimers, it needs to get settled. We're perfectly fine staying out of it, but we won't be forever. It needs to get settled. Either you need to make up or one of y'all needs to turn over. This fight with the shooting a couple blocks from here, it wasn't good. Drew a lot of attention on you, on them, on all of us. So let's make it a little quieter, shall we? And let's get this bad business resolved as soon as we can, right?" --- **[4/25/2026, 2:50:58 PM] Cam** He'll set a bad example for the rest of them. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:51:38 PM] Veth** It's almost like he would walk 500 miles and then walk 500 more. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:52:21 PM] debinani** "Very good. Well then, if you hear anything more about Lancaster's targets or his formulas or anything useful, I'll be happy to pay. And good job on you to take care of that with all this Reclaimer stuff going on. Y'all are moving up in the world, so it would seem." He stands up and shoots down the rest of his drink. "Well, y'all have a pleasant afternoon then." And he takes one last look at the bag with the severed head on the table and takes his leave. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:52:28 PM] Cam** Most definitely. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:52:45 PM] Kristian** a quest timer has started! --- **[4/25/2026, 2:53:06 PM] Crow** Crow nods --- **[4/25/2026, 2:53:15 PM] debinani** Nice. You do not have enough space in your vault for all four coin, so you have space for two more coin in the vault. Cam, you just want to keep the other two? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:53:20 PM] Crow** *mutters* Jackass. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:53:22 PM] Jason G** Timer added: Daddy pulls the car over --- **[4/25/2026, 2:53:38 PM] Nyx** Nyx collects the bag and raises it in the air as if toasting. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:54:09 PM] debinani** Okay, so go ahead and add two coin to yours and I'll add the two coin to the vault. Okay. So, we are going to go into downtime. It is a pretty small vault. I mean, basically you guys have a small safe downstairs that you can collect cash in, but for the most part the crew doesn't keep a very big kitty, most of it gets divided amongst y'all. Problem is y'all are a baseball team and it's hard to slice two coin nine ways. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:54:16 PM] Michelle** For the moment, sure --- **[4/25/2026, 2:54:23 PM] Kristian** must be big coins. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:54:29 PM] Rob** Or a really small vault. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:55:09 PM] debinani** I we assumed that your tier upgrade money, which was eight coin, involved spreading a little bit around. So you guys have definitely improved the lives of the people in your area of influence, in this like two or three block area around the Incan Anvil. All right. We're going to do an entanglements roll and you guys are wanted, so that's going to be fun. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:55:12 PM] Watcher** Maybe we spread some of that around our friends and family on the streets.. just a bit. a rising ride and all that --- **[4/25/2026, 2:55:12 PM] Veth** Them's quitter words! --- **[4/25/2026, 2:55:29 PM] Jason G** rising tide --- **[4/25/2026, 2:55:34 PM] Michelle** I think we did some of that... yeah --- **[4/25/2026, 2:55:52 PM] Michelle** We spent some on making that evidence up, so having the extra is useful. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:56:07 PM] Veth** It's good to be loved. :) --- **[4/25/2026, 2:56:10 PM] Debinani** If there are two results, the GM picks which entanglement occurs. 1d6kh1 1d6kh1 1 1 1 Gang Trouble The Usual Suspects 1d6kh1 = 1 = 1 --- **[4/25/2026, 2:56:24 PM] Rob** Deb is now looking up the Random Disaster Table. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:56:24 PM] debinani** I truly am. Okay. So somebody, one of your friends and relations or vice purveyors gets picked up by the blue coats as they are looking for you. So one of y'all pony up somebody, either from your contacts list or your vice whoever it is who fulfills your vice for you and pony somebody up. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:56:34 PM] Rob** Well shit... --- **[4/25/2026, 2:57:19 PM] debinani** You may not pony up your enemies. That's not how this works. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:57:22 PM] Rob** Can we pony up our enemy? :P --- **[4/25/2026, 2:57:34 PM] Veth** Mine's a bluecoat, I dunno if that's wise. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:57:36 PM] Jason G** I pony up the cop riding my ass --- **[4/25/2026, 2:57:42 PM] Kristian** Can we volunteer the jackass? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:57:43 PM] Jason G** dammitholden --- **[4/25/2026, 2:57:48 PM] Michelle** I only have a vice purveyor left :( --- **[4/25/2026, 2:58:10 PM] debinani** Who are we volunteering up? Locket I would not Locket is technically not a No, not Locket. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:58:27 PM] Kristian** I'd offer mine, but I am 1 bar away from max stress lol --- **[4/25/2026, 2:58:46 PM] debinani** Oh, no, absolutely not. They're not incarcerated, they're just picked up for questioning. Yeah, let's leave poor Quelan out of this. She's had enough. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:58:51 PM] Jason G** does this basically burn that contact forever? --- **[4/25/2026, 2:58:57 PM] Veth** I've never viced yet, I don't even know who mine is. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:59:02 PM] Rob** My contact has already gotten worked-over by the Reclaimers, so I'd like to give her a break. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:59:24 PM] debinani** Okay. You want to do record squat guy? Alistair Crow? Okay. So Alistair gets picked up by the blue coats and questioned about you lot and your whereabouts. So and you all hear about it, one of your little birds makes it back to the Incan Anvil and says Mr. Crow's been taken away from the clerk's office in chains. And you have some options. You could hope for the best and hope he doesn't spill the beans. Or you actually do know the blue coats in question and you could just pay them off with a coin and let the poor fellow get back to work. --- **[4/25/2026, 2:59:26 PM] Jason G** I've got my records clerk guy, but I haven't reached out to him for anything lately - which could be good --- **[4/25/2026, 2:59:44 PM] Jason G** Sure --- **[4/25/2026, 2:59:47 PM] Random** my friend is a ghost. and my vice perveyorr is a sprit medium. I'm okay on stress right now so i can w/out indulging for a turn --- **[4/25/2026, 3:00:03 PM] Kristian** hope he isn't Alister Stool Pigeon --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:04 PM] Michelle** Sounds like a good use for this extra coin --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:07 PM] Kristian** Oooooor, Boo can sneak in and murder him. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:27 PM] Michelle** Use one of Cam's coins for the bribe --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:28 PM] Jason G** "that'll teach people to get caught..." --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:32 PM] Veth** it's too bad the mayor isn't involved. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:32 PM] debinani** Oh, interesting, there's a disparity between the rule set and the book. The book says it's two coin, but that's okay. I'll let you get out of it with one. Okay, so Cam, you go and find some local beat cops who you're relatively familiar with and you drop a bag of coins on them and say hey, you guys are holding this guy Alistair Crow, could you let him get back to work, he doesn't know anything about anything. And they say, yep, thanks for doing business, and within a couple hours poor Alistair has been returned to work, none the worse for wear. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:47 PM] Random** I could send a cake..... with a ghost in it. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:57 PM] Rob** Mmm... Ghost Cake. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:01:58 PM] Watcher** He's my connection, I'll cover this --- **[4/25/2026, 3:02:01 PM] Veth** We haven't killed a mayor in forever. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:02:37 PM] Michelle** I have extra, so let Watcher keeps his --- **[4/25/2026, 3:02:43 PM] debinani** All right, so it is time to do downtime. You are still at war with the Reclaimer Circle, so you get only one downtime activity. I imagine almost all of you are going to be indulging vice. Let me know if you want to do something different than that. But if that is what you are doing, then there is an indulge vice roll on the little dice roller thing and feel free to knock yourself out. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:02:50 PM] Jason G** well twist my arm then... fine --- **[4/25/2026, 3:02:54 PM] Michelle** lol --- **[4/25/2026, 3:02:59 PM] Michelle** May want to buy something fun later --- **[4/25/2026, 3:03:21 PM] debinani** So in the midst of all the construction you all are doing, everybody spends some time doing the thing that makes them feel better. Only one, you guys are only going to get one downtime activity because you are at war. That's why being at war with another gang sucks, because you're always looking over your shoulder and dodging roving gangs and all manner of things. That was a lot of dice. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:03:34 PM] Jason G** one activity or two? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:03:53 PM] Freakshow** Vice Success You indulge your vice. Clear 6 stress. 3 2 5 5 6 5 2 6 6 6 10d6 = 46 = 46 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:03:58 PM] Michelle** OMH --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:00 PM] Rob** Where the heck is the 'dice rolling thing'? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:02 PM] debinani** Uh, so on the menu up into the left there's the little dice roller icon and you can select indulge vice and put in how much your current stress level is and for the dice, it is the number of dice it is supposed to be is your weakest stat. So in the case of Freakshow your weakest is insight, so you would be rolling two dice and take the lowest. Or essentially zero dice. So everybody who's going to indulge vice, that's what you do. You do the indulge vice and you feed it the dice of your weakest stat, which I think for most of you is probably zero. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:03 PM] Michelle** I was gonna say --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:09 PM] Kristian** when someone asks you how many dice to roll, you say yes. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:17 PM] Kristian** mid of left toolbar --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:20 PM] Kristian** looks like dice --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:27 PM] Rob** Ah-ha! Okay, I missed it the first time. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:29 PM] Kristian** how many dice is it supposed to be lol --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:56 PM] Crow** Vice Success You indulge your vice. Clear 1 stress. 1 1d6 = 1 = 1 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:04:59 PM] debinani** Oh no, Cam's got a one for the weakest stat. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:04 PM] Kristian** so Number of Dice is number of bonus dice? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:09 PM] Freakshow** Vice 0d Success You indulge your vice. Clear 1 stress. 1 1 2d6 = 2 = 2 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:14 PM] Eidolon** Vice 0d Success You indulge your vice. Clear 2 stress. 2 4 2d6 = 6 = 6 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:15 PM] Kristian** ugh --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:17 PM] Rob** Sigh. Second time I have indulged vice and rolled a 1. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:21 PM] Cam** Vice Success You indulge your vice. Clear 3 stress. 3 1d6 = 3 = 3 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:30 PM] Boo** Vice Success You indulge your vice. Clear 2 stress. 2 1d6 = 2 = 2 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:42 PM] Kristian** the trick is to roll zero dice and still get snake eyes! --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:50 PM] Kristian** #BigBrain --- **[4/25/2026, 3:05:56 PM] Rob** I'm... not sure that's a good thing. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:01 PM] debinani** Okay, so everybody who indulge vice make sure to clear the amount of stress that it says to clear. And it doesn't look like anybody overindulged, mainly because most of you rolled pretty low. Yeah, the stress economy's pretty crazy. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:05 PM] Nyx** Vice 0d Success You indulge your vice. Clear 3 stress. 3 4 2d6 = 7 = 7 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:30 PM] Michelle** Down to one, baby! --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:31 PM] Rob** Down to 5! --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:42 PM] Rob** I was literally incapable of overindulging. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:43 PM] debinani** Okay, you're going to reduce heat? Very good. What exactly are you doing? You're just trying to sow confusion, pin things on the reclaimers, that sort of stuff? Because your heat's only two right now. You reset your heat when you got your wanted level. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:46 PM] Michelle** ouch --- **[4/25/2026, 3:06:54 PM] Jason G** Watcher is going to spend the time walking the city, planting seeds and confusions in order to [reduce heat] for the crew --- **[4/25/2026, 3:07:26 PM] debinani** Okay, so that sounds like you're using like sway to try to to reduce heat. That makes sense. I mean you're essentially going and passing around some lies. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:07:27 PM] Veth** tell people they didn't really walk 500 miles, they used a bus. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:07:28 PM] Jason G** yep, increase plausible deniability, etc... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:08:27 PM] debinani** No, it doesn't work like that. Just roll your yeah, you can just do control risk, it doesn't matter. It's just the amount of heat you reduce by doing it. So just make a sway roll. Excellent. Okay, so a four or five reduces two heat. So you basically did a really good job spreading the word and your guys's heat is down to zero. You're still wanted, but the heat you've been accumulating is down to zero. So good work, citizen. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:08:35 PM] Jason G** controlled/Risky? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:08:51 PM] Watcher** Sway Controlled | Standard Partial Success You hesitate. Withdraw and try a different approach, or else do it with a minor consequence: a minor complication occurs, you have reduced effect, you suffer lesser harm, you end up in a risky position. 5 1d6 = 5 = 5 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:09:11 PM] debinani** And then we are going to see, does that cover everybody? Okay. We're going to see how well we're going to make a fortune roll for how well No, screw it. We don't have to make a fortune roll. You guys can roll this. Somebody make a you so the counterfeit stuff that you put together, you bought that up to tier two. Tier two counterfeit documents. Uh, two coin would have taken it from tier zero to tier two. So because they would have been tier zero documents when you made them. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:10:17 PM] Michelle** We paid 2 coin, whatever that did. Might have only been Tier 1 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:10:18 PM] Veth** Tier Two: Counterfeit Boogaloo --- **[4/25/2026, 3:10:21 PM] debinani** Okay, why don't one of you and by one of you we're probably talking about Freakshow, make a sway roll with one extra die. Risky standards fine. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:10:52 PM] Kristian** position/effect? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:10:53 PM] debinani** Okay, so you do hear that Malice Thorne, the remember he's Alistair Venn's right hand man, the guy who roughed up Quelan and you know he's basically the chief enforcer of the Reclaimer Circle. He is arrested and taken in. And the Reclaimer Circle becomes they don't become wanted because they taken Malice Thorne and you guys have successfully gotten rid of your wanted level. The Reclaimer Circle took all the heat and it sounds like old Malice Thorne is going to Iron Hook for a little while. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:11:01 PM] Freakshow** Sway Risky | Standard Success You do it. 2 2 6 3d6 = 10 = 10 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:11:09 PM] Kristian** I do it. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:11:17 PM] Jason G** just do it --- **[4/25/2026, 3:11:53 PM] debinani** So congratulations on that. You guys are essentially scot-free apart from a curious inspector. And I am going to say that you are off the hook for the university theft. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:12:07 PM] Kristian** so now we have no heat and no wanted. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:12:08 PM] Rob** Huzzah! --- **[4/25/2026, 3:12:24 PM] Kristian** CUZ IT'S EDINBURGH GET IT --- **[4/25/2026, 3:12:27 PM] Jason G** Oh, and I make sure Alistair Crow gets a fruit basket or a nice ham sent to his family.. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:12:34 PM] Michelle** Now the question is, do we bury the hatchet with the Reclaimers? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:12:40 PM] debinani** So you have actually really done a lot of harm to the Reclaimer Circle. In fact, I'm downgrading them from a tier one to a tier zero stronghold gang. They are you guys have really done a number on them. So they're still around and they're still effective, but they are definitely smaller, weaker and less influential based upon all the stuff that you guys have done. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:13:31 PM] Rob** We now seem to be in an advantageous position if we try to bury the hatchet. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:13:32 PM] Kristian** so sounds like we should absorb them as our lackeys :) --- **[4/25/2026, 3:13:33 PM] Michelle** Sweet-talk them into joining us? lol --- **[4/25/2026, 3:13:36 PM] Jason G** maybe that guy will remember the offer I made --- **[4/25/2026, 3:13:41 PM] Watcher** Watcher smiles --- **[4/25/2026, 3:13:58 PM] Cam** Cam rubs the back of her neck --- **[4/25/2026, 3:14:03 PM] debinani** Yep. So we'll say about three weeks have gone by. It is now let's see. It's New Year's. It's New Year's Day, Imperial year 640 whatever it was. And you have remodeled, you've dug a little deeper and remodeled your lair. Everybody has a place to sleep and a workshop now. Your gear has been upgraded. Malice Thorne has been arrested. I mean, it's been a good month. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:14:05 PM] Cam** The news just keeps getting better today. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:15:05 PM] Watcher** Waiting for the other shoe to drop, are we? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:15:13 PM] Cam** Cam shrug --- **[4/25/2026, 3:15:19 PM] Cam** It will someday. Just hopefully not today. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:15:30 PM] debinani** I mean, they're still out there and they're still dangerous. They just can't muster quite the same level of harm as they could in the past. Malice Thorne was actually sentenced to a month in Iron Hook, so he'll actually be out he'll be out in February. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:15:35 PM] Cam** Just wondering how to handle what's left of the Reclaimers. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:16:03 PM] Watcher** I made some rounds, reassured some skittish folks... planted some thoughts in the wind. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:16:40 PM] Crow** *shrugs* We've a bit of an advantage over them now. If we try for peace they shouldn't be stupid enough to ask for reparations. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:17:30 PM] debinani** Not really, no. I mean you know them by sight but you don't really know anybody. You do know how to get a hold of them if you need to. Alistair Venn, I think. I'm sorry, Aldric Venn. Yeah, otherwise known as kind of the professor. I've stopped using the term "the professor" because there are too many freaking professors in your lives right now. So Aldric Venn is known as the professor, but he is the old chap who is the head of the Reclaimer Circle. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:17:36 PM] Watcher** Do we know anyone inside the circle? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:17:44 PM] Cam** True. Just would be nice to make them roll over entirely. I'm just not sure how much they still hate us. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:17:53 PM] Michelle** Who's their boss again? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:18:02 PM] Random** offer them protection: "nice gang you have there folk. be a shame of something happened to it....." :P --- **[4/25/2026, 3:18:11 PM] Jason G** "the professor"? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:18:30 PM] Jason G** the other professor --- **[4/25/2026, 3:18:38 PM] debinani** And basically their hunting grounds, their turf marked on the Charter Hall map, that's basically all their turf. They have a handful of like alchemy shops and antique sellers and importers and things like that within there that are all kind of on their side. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:18:44 PM] Crow** Yeah, well... I was thinking peace until something terrible happens to wipe out Venn and Thorne. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:19:09 PM] Michelle** If we convince them to link up with us, do we get their turf? heh --- **[4/25/2026, 3:19:12 PM] debinani** No, that's generally not how it works. If you all if you all get them to stop the war and then if you get to the point where you want to spend XP on bringing them in as a cohort, then that cohort could be the Reclaimer Circle if you wanted. And we would have to talk about the turf, but they're probably pretty pissed. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:19:32 PM] Michelle** bummer --- **[4/25/2026, 3:19:50 PM] Watcher** Right now I expect their hackles are up.. they're probably thinking revenge, not reconciliation. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:18 PM] Kristian** well PollyPocket gave us 2 options... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:24 PM] Kristian** make friends or dig holes --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:28 PM] Watcher** We either finish them, or defuse the situation in some way... diplomatically --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:29 PM] Crow** Probably. But they might see peace as an opportunity to regroup and fortify for another shot later. Which gives us time to fortify for another war later, too. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:30 PM] Cam** Maybe, but other than what started all this, they don't know we've been involved. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:30 PM] debinani** I mean, they don't know that you guys set them up for the university theft. They might suspect you set them up for the university theft. They know you stole the Shriek slate. They know you stole the Mistress Ash, although they didn't know what they had there. And they know you stole the underground maps and passkeys, right? I mean, that's what started all this originally. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:54 PM] Rob** They can not prove that. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:20:57 PM] Michelle** Yeah, they're just mad about raiding their spot --- **[4/25/2026, 3:21:13 PM] debinani** Yeah, they basically lost a tier because like half of their cellar contacts got revealed and all sorts of shipping data got revealed to the cops and things like that, and the university theft. So, I mean, that was a huge like financial hit on their kind of ongoing operations. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:22:14 PM] debinani** Like, y'alls gang kind of operates on information brokering, right? I mean, when you're not doing this, you are passing notes, getting info from the Clerk Street typesetters, working your contacts, things like that. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:22:34 PM] Crow** Just handle them diplomatically. You know, shake hands with them while plotting to stab them in the back. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:23:02 PM] Michelle** Something Cam is terrible at. lol --- **[4/25/2026, 3:23:06 PM] Random** invite them out for a meeting at the carriage house, where we can off them w/out the spirit wardens being alerted. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:23:16 PM] Michelle** lol --- **[4/25/2026, 3:23:21 PM] Jason G** We could extend a hand of "friendship" and see if there is something we can help with.. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:23:50 PM] Watcher** an olive branch and a lifeline, wrapped in one.. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:24:08 PM] Watcher** who wouldn't take that over continued hostilities while they are knocked down... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:24:39 PM] Watcher** or, we finish the job --- **[4/25/2026, 3:25:17 PM] Kristian** or both...whack the boss and take over the remnants, with #2 in the clink --- **[4/25/2026, 3:25:36 PM] Cam** See? I like that idea, but we'd have to be damn sure any bodies can't be tied to us. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:25:38 PM] Jason G** he'll get out eventually and get a revenge arc --- **[4/25/2026, 3:25:43 PM] Cam** We got one warning about that already. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:25:52 PM] Kristian** sounds like he is old so clearly that means he is out of touch and driving them toward ruin. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:26:19 PM] Watcher** or we figure out that poison.... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:26:36 PM] Random** any got a contact on the inside. He might have an accident before being releaseed. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:27:11 PM] Michelle** Are we allowed to siphon off their people? Like make offers that working for us would be better? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:27:19 PM] Michelle** Or is that getting into cohorts? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:27:27 PM] Rob** If I can get a downtime turn where I can do something other than clear stress, Crow will start a plan to remove Thorne, so his days are limited. Just might be a really long limit. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:27:56 PM] Michelle** Sadly, my assassin is on their side now. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:29:09 PM] Michelle** Then I think we're back to just buying them off at this point. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:29:17 PM] Michelle** If they aren't being stupid about it --- **[4/25/2026, 3:29:29 PM] Jason G** does going down a tier mean they lose turf, or would that just slowly happen naturally? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:29:46 PM] Jason G** like, people stop cooperating, etc../ --- **[4/25/2026, 3:29:49 PM] debinani** It doesn't mean they lose turf. It just means that they have less resources to bring to bear at any given moment. So, less money. It means that if they send a gang of folks after you, it's not going to be like a dozen people, it might be like six. You know, they just don't have the same level of resources. It doesn't mean they lose turf, you would have to kind of actively, you know, all turf is controlled by somebody and you have to actively take it from them. You do know that there is a purveyor of less than honestly gotten goods, a fence, that works for them. His store is kind of down in their turf. But who owns the turf, well, the Bellweather, it's basically all owned by either the blue coats or the spirit wardens, right? I mean, that's where the Bellweather Crematorium is. It's just from a faction standpoint, a lot of gangs don't really operate there. So it's essentially a DMZ. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:29:50 PM] Michelle** Or we get a great opportunity to poison them all at once. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:30:49 PM] Jason G** who owns the turf between us? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:31:27 PM] Jason G** DMZ --- **[4/25/2026, 3:31:42 PM] Rob** So you're suggesting we declare war on the spirit wardens if we want it. Got it. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:31:50 PM] debinani** Okay. So you all are going out and doing some information gathering. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:31:53 PM] Michelle** Let's at least put out feelers to find out where boss man generally is. Maybe find an opportunity to off him quietly. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:32:31 PM] Jason G** and also work gathering info and undermining any confidences in them --- **[4/25/2026, 3:32:33 PM] debinani** Okay. Are you going out as a herd or are you splitting up and taking different approaches to figuring out You're really trying to figure out how you could quietly off Venn, right? Just try to figure out where he lives, what his haunts are. All right. And I assume you're not just kind of going out as a baseball team, you're probably splitting up. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:32:34 PM] Michelle** If we fail, they'll just be more paranoid about us! --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:04 PM] Michelle** yes --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:12 PM] Rob** Does Mistress Ash have any insight? She was in their possession for a long while. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:16 PM] debinani** Good question. Mistress Ash was in their possession for a long time, but she doesn't know really where she was. She's been in a crate for a very, very, very long time. And so she really doesn't know. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:24 PM] Michelle** Who has ideas to try? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:32 PM] Jason G** prowl and survey, right up my alley --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:47 PM] Rob** I guess my question is did she ever hear anything useful. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:50 PM] Kristian** Crete is pretty far from Scotland --- **[4/25/2026, 3:33:51 PM] Jason G** or or right up their alley --- **[4/25/2026, 3:34:07 PM] Debinani** Fortune Failure The result is bad. You have poor or little effect. 2 1d6 = 2 = 2 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:34:15 PM] Rob** RNGesus is against us. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:34:20 PM] debinani** It's been pretty rough on the dice. But no, she doesn't have any sort of awareness. She does reinforce that she does know that, again, there's a shopkeeper who fences a lot of the stuff that they can't get rid of and who's definitely on their take. Well, you know, you have a 75% chance of succeeding with some sort of consequence, which is pretty good. Just being successful is terribly uninteresting. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:34:48 PM] Rob** BitD does seem to lean towards bad die luck. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:35:08 PM] Jason G** I think the game system is weighted that way lol, even when you succeed you get screwed more often than not --- **[4/25/2026, 3:35:22 PM] Rob** True, but it's the 'with consequence' part that can stack up. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:36:18 PM] Rob** Yeah, I think it works the way it's meant to. I wasn't implying that it doesn't. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:37:09 PM] Watcher** I can go take a quiet gander with my eyes and ears open, if you like. Maybe Eidolon as well? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:37:19 PM] debinani** Okay, just going to send Watcher and Idalon out to watch. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:37:43 PM] Eidolon** Sure. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:37:45 PM] Cam** Hopefully it goes better than last time. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:37:47 PM] Jason G** I mean.. it's baked into the name --- **[4/25/2026, 3:37:53 PM] Cam** I know my attempt went south fast. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:38:00 PM] Cam** Just be careful. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:38:09 PM] Watcher** Well, hopefully not a bunch of ghosts this time, sure... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:38:24 PM] Michelle** I was thinking more our last infiltration attempts into their territory. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:38:34 PM] debinani** Okay, so Watcher and Idalon just go walk the streets. Look to see if you dig up anything interesting, presumably near the Reclaimer Circle turf. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:38:37 PM] Michelle** We rolled terribly then too. heh --- **[4/25/2026, 3:39:16 PM] debinani** Okay, that sounds like a prowl to me. Do you guys want to do a prowl group roll? Because you get something special with that, right? You never take more than one stress on group rolls, so even if he well, if he fails, you'll still take one stress. But you want to do that as a group roll? Okay, both of you make prowl rolls then. We will call it risky standard's fine. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:39:25 PM] Jason G** as inconspicuously as possible, actively trying to not stand out --- **[4/25/2026, 3:39:51 PM] Jason G** I can lead that, sure --- **[4/25/2026, 3:40:07 PM] Eidolon** Prowl Risky | Standard Success You do it. 4 6 2d6 = 10 = 10 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:40:19 PM] debinani** Okay. You still need to roll to see if you take stress for fail. Nice. Okay, so no stress from that. And you guys are just freaking thieves in the night. Okay, so it is New Year's, let's say it's New Year's Eve, and there's a lot of partying and reveling and carrying on because somehow for 800 years you've managed to hang on to the Gregorian calendar after the end of the world. And you are skulking in the streets around the Reclaimer Circle turf. Now you guys can make a group or individual survey roll. Let me know what it's gonna be, whether it's gonna be a group roll or an individual roll. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:40:26 PM] Jason G** using Fine shadow cloak which increases effect level when we succeed --- **[4/25/2026, 3:40:31 PM] Rob** Much better than last session. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:40:40 PM] Watcher** Prowl Risky | Standard Success You do it. 6 4 2d6 = 10 = 10 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:41:43 PM] Veth** group? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:41:46 PM] Jason G** benefit for doing a group vs ? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:41:52 PM] debinani** A group roll means if any of you succeed, you both succeed. I guess in this case it could be since you're operating as a group, it kind of makes sense to do a group roll. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:42:11 PM] Jason G** I'll lead survey too then --- **[4/25/2026, 3:42:27 PM] Eidolon** Survey Risky | Standard Failure Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity. 1 1d6 = 1 = 1 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:42:30 PM] debinani** Yes, exactly. Holy shit. No fate points, no bennies. You all got spoiled. Uh, okay. So you you basically wander around the reclaimer's turf for like all night. And you aren't discovered because you're brilliantly keeping your head down. And by the way, you take two stress, right? Um, but but you discover nothing. Uh, in fact, you get lost at one point and have to like ask a local how to like get back to main street. It's it's bad and embarrassing. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:42:39 PM] Jason G** the risk is +1 stress, the benefit is more likely to succeed --- **[4/25/2026, 3:42:42 PM] Watcher** Survey Risky | Standard Failure Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity. 2 1 2d6 = 3 = 3 --- **[4/25/2026, 3:42:53 PM] Rob** The good rolls didn't last long. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:42:56 PM] Michelle** noo --- **[4/25/2026, 3:43:01 PM] Jason G** fate points? lol --- **[4/25/2026, 3:43:07 PM] Kristian** who watches the watcher..men.. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:43:31 PM] Random** you were a leaf in the wind watch how you soar.... then got a reaver spear in the chest. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:43:50 PM] Michelle** lol --- **[4/25/2026, 3:44:02 PM] Veth** oof --- **[4/25/2026, 3:44:22 PM] debinani** Yep, you come back with bags of spicy roast mushrooms and very, very little else to show for the trip. What other hijinks are you up to while these guys are out? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:44:24 PM] Jason G** we were distracted by the falafel cart.. we come back with a bag of falafel for everyone but forgot why we went there to begin with --- **[4/25/2026, 3:45:22 PM] Rob** I can just see Cam asking them what they found out and Watcher and Eidolon looking at each other as they realize what they forgot. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:45:26 PM] debinani** Oh, we forgot to look for stuff. We found the mushroom vendor though. All right, so wandering the streets didn't work. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:45:38 PM] Michelle** heh --- **[4/25/2026, 3:46:19 PM] Michelle** Not sure if we swept all of the tunnels below when we stumbled onto their stash there... Could do another pass --- **[4/25/2026, 3:46:39 PM] debinani** Um, I mean there's a lot. I mean obviously there's multiple levels of city here. I mean that's a big ask. I mean you could go look around there where that thing was, but you did I can't remember who was down there at the time, but you lost the trail going the other direction kind of into their territory, so that's kind of a missed opportunity. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:47:31 PM] debinani** Yeah, that's right. You guys found a spirit, an angry spirit who pointed you in the right direction but wasn't very helpful on the other one. I mean you guys are also undercity denizens but you don't want to like turn over too many rocks. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:47:35 PM] Michelle** I think Crow found the spirit that pointed us in the right direction --- **[4/25/2026, 3:47:52 PM] Jason G** not to mention the local undercity denizens may not enjoy seeing new faces poking about... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:48:01 PM] Rob** What would we roll if we wanted to spend some money to bribe people in their organization for info? Particularly without word getting back to anyone? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:48:14 PM] debinani** Depends on how you were doing it. I mean you could go to one of the taverns that you know they hang out at and try to use consort. I mean that would be probably the ideal way to do it because otherwise you know sway is lying, consort is is being friendly. You probably could find like that gang that they had hired that you didn't necessarily kill all of. You could probably maybe find some of those guys and do the same. You're probably talking about consort, I would think. If anybody, I would say Freakshow, Freakshow's got a little bit. Not that great at parties, you guys. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:48:17 PM] Jason G** Hello, fellow undercityDenizens --- **[4/25/2026, 3:48:39 PM] Random** well we did dig down to a new level. are there tunnels out of the our new digs that we can explore to see if they might bear any fruit? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:49:15 PM] Rob** Do any of us have Consort? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:49:22 PM] Rob** Crow does not. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:49:47 PM] Kristian** Freakshow can do any scummy circus grift --- **[4/25/2026, 3:49:57 PM] Kristian** NOT TIJUANA CIRCUS --- **[4/25/2026, 3:50:12 PM] Kristian** although Finese does cover flexibility, right... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:50:14 PM] debinani** Yes, finesse would cover dexterity, flexibility, that sort of stuff typically. So what do y'all know about the Reclaimers? You know their turf, you know where they operate in town obviously. You know that there are a number of like alchemy shops and various shops around town that they, well, especially in their turf, that they quote-unquote protect. You do know there is a shop in Artisan Row which is sort of very, very near your territory, not technically in your turf. It's called The Meridian and you know the guy who runs it, a guy by the name of Oswin, you know he's on their payroll. I mean he actively does some sort of smuggling or whatever work for them. You know that Malice Thorne is in Iron Hook Prison. And, you know, again, I could you could very easily suss out kind of where the gang generally hangs out especially for recreation. Now, obviously you guys walking into a Reclaimer Circle bar is just kind of asking for it, but if you wanted to go walking into a Reclaimer Circle bar you could. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:50:19 PM] Jason G** so no donkey shows? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:52:22 PM] debinani** You do not know Aldric Venn's address, nor really where he hangs out. I mean just about every haunt that you guys are aware of, it would be where Thorne hung out with, not not where Venn held court. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:53:00 PM] Jason G** be really cool to take the map and have something render it in 3d --- **[4/25/2026, 3:53:00 PM] debinani** Yeah, I mean, you know, convincing. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:53:49 PM] Rob** Do we have a sense of whether members of the Reclaimers in general know where Venn lives or hangs out? Of would it just be the higher-ups that know this? I'm guessing the latter. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:54:08 PM] Veth** Consort? I thought that said consent.. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:55:00 PM] Rob** "convincing" --- **[4/25/2026, 3:56:16 PM] Jason G** pay some of our scamps and urchins to spy on the area and watch certain people? --- **[4/25/2026, 3:56:27 PM] Rob** Thoughts? We could try to convince with cash, which sounds like Freakshow's thing, or convince with violence, which is... uh... Command, I presume. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:56:33 PM] debinani** Yeah, command generally covers intimidate. Depends on how you're good cop, bad copping it. Could be sway. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:57:05 PM] Random** cash could be sway as well. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:57:26 PM] Rob** True. That's still Freakshow. I'm only throwing ideas out there, I have no useful social skills. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:57:29 PM] debinani** You have not boinked information out of anybody yet, no. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:57:30 PM] Kristian** seduce could be consort... --- **[4/25/2026, 3:57:38 PM] Kristian** we haven't boinked information out of anyone yet --- **[4/25/2026, 3:57:57 PM] Veth** Mayvik been slackin'. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:03 PM] debinani** Yep, haunt definitely qualifies depending upon how you're doing. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:09 PM] Kristian** wrong kind of freak! --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:09 PM] Jason G** tracking down a person is a Hunt thing as well, dear leader :D --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:09 PM] Rob** He's being cautious. Snake eyes on a boink roll is... bad. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:19 PM] Random** pay our street kids to parley with their street kids --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:38 PM] Kristian** unfortunately, I have to NPC for the rest of the day..gotta go get myself/kid ready for cub scout year end ceremony thingy. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:38 PM] Veth** snake eyes on a bonk is a lifetime commitment. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:47 PM] Kristian** thanks for game, ttyl! --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:50 PM] Veth** later vik --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:54 PM] debinani** You definitely struggled with that last time, yes. But, I mean, instead of going after Venn, you could go after a minion. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:58:56 PM] Michelle** Sure, but have to be in their territory to do it, and Cam's attempts at stealth suck --- **[4/25/2026, 3:59:12 PM] Rob** Okay, so now that Myavik's out, we can have Freakshow do things that are dangerous. --- **[4/25/2026, 3:59:28 PM] debinani** All right, have Freakshow go into a Reclaimer bar and see what he could find out. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:00:03 PM] debinani** I mean, you guys could like stake out a place that they hang and then stalk a minion and bag yourself a minion, right? You could do that. Yeah, but in this particular case, I mean you said you were trying to just see if you could pick stuff up off the street. It's New Year's Eve technically New Year's Day now, just not day yet. And you know where they're partying and if you guys want to do something like that, I'm sure that could be arranged. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:00:05 PM] Michelle** I should've piggy backed off their stellar stealth earlier. heh --- **[4/25/2026, 4:00:31 PM] Veth** true, cause it will never happen again --- **[4/25/2026, 4:00:40 PM] Jason G** that's what I was trying to do, minus the minion thing.. just rolled bad --- **[4/25/2026, 4:01:00 PM] Rob** Is property ownership something that is still tracked in public records? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:01:00 PM] debinani** Uh, yes, property ownership definitely tracked in public records. Uh, getting access to the public records would be a bigger problem than actually going through them. But thankfully, I think you guys know some people in the bureaucracy who might be able to make that easier. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:01:15 PM] Veth** we could pull a Scrooge on someone. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:01:22 PM] Rob** So digging through public records to figure out what Venn owns would be a Study roll? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:01:49 PM] Jason G** access to the records, say from a Clerk? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:01:51 PM] Rob** That means they aren't actually *public* records... --- **[4/25/2026, 4:01:53 PM] debinani** I mean they're technically public, much like the plans to demolish the Earth are public, they're just not particularly accessible. Aha. Okay, what's the plan? Nothing, no plan? Yeah, their chief enforcer's in prison, they're definitely on the ropes. Yeah, they don't necessarily know that you guys have been the cause of their run for bad luck, run of bad luck. I mean, they can probably make some connections, but honestly, this huge route is just not pinned on you guys. Okay, what's the what's the message say? What's the overall tenor of the message? Uh, why yes. So this shop has a basement and there is actually a way out into from the basement into into the tunnel system if that's if that's the way you want to go. You can definitely see that using using your sight. Uh, the Taylor shop is closed. It is still it is pre-dawn on January 1st and the Taylor shop is is closed. Okay, so we are going to escape. Assuming nobody's down in the sewers waiting for you, which would be pretty spectacularly clever of them, but no. You don't need to rob the tailor store, I mean really. You're better than that. I mean, you're usually better than that. I mean realize I just ran a one-shot where somebody was wearing the skin of a rat. I mean it was just so, I mean I've I'm used to I've I've become desensitized to what the players do nowadays. Um, okay. So, uh, yeah, you go down to the basement and there is an old hatch and the old hatch leads out into the drainage tunnels that run around the city out into the canals and the river. And nobody is shooting at you from them. You are definitely on the wrong side of the canal though. I mean you're going to have to these tunnels aren't going to take you home. You have to like resurface and then go back across and go back down. But nobody's shooting at you. Okay. So you guys are heading back to a spot where you could surface, take the take the Wormwood bridge across and then if you know and then obviously go back underground if you needed to. Okay. Um, so I mean you know this territory very well. You move about through the tunnels. You pop up in a essentially a manhole cover and make your way around to the Wormwood bridge. Anybody who wants to can make a survey roll. Risky standard's fine. Okay. All right. So, um, you guys are oh there we go. All right. Um, yeah, apparently. So you guys are actually coming out of an alley to hit the Wormwood bridge and both Idalon and Cam go "whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa stop." And Cam, you peek around the corner and you see that there are three guys on this side of the Wormwood bridge and you recognize at least one of them from the ambush in the alley. And so it definitely looks like they are keeping an eye out for you. Seems like they definitely were on the hunt for you all. And we will stop here. How's the ninth look for everybody? He really wants to chuck a ghost. I think everybody wants to chuck a ghost. Just see what would happen. Uh well, yeah that too. Follow it with a ghost. Nice. Okay, uh, we will we will reconvene on the ninth and we'll see how you guys escape the south half of Charter Hall. Oh, yeah, everybody make your case for XP. You kleptoed? Yeah, I think Idalon and Watcher definitely did the sneaky. That counts. Nix solved a problem with tinkering, that works. Uh, Cam, you successfully hunted, after a fashion. Uh, I would say that the crew itself didn't really execute a successful operation, but you did uh you did use your ghost echoes to good effect. So I will give the crew a 1 XP for that. Uh sure, yeah you solved a problem with Nothing, I added a XP to the crew sheet. Uh yeah, I mean you you solved a problem with weirdness. So everybody gets 1 XP. And I'll throw one on Freakshow's sheet as well. All right, well everybody gets an XP for the day and uh I will see you on the ninth. Uh I am going to attempt to use my automated thingamajig tonight and if it accidentally emails you a thousand calendar appointments, I apologize. It's the one thing I haven't tested yet. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:02:03 PM] Veth** we could find out his associations, using some sort of diagram where we can see how his interests overlaps with other's... --- **[4/25/2026, 4:02:16 PM] Veth** I'm not sure what someone would call that.. but I bet it would help. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:02:26 PM] Rob** Crow can pursue that angle if someone can help him get access to the records. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:03:01 PM] Watcher** Watcher I will reach out to Rowan Bell, make sure he got the ham I sent to his family and assure him we've got his back.. and ask if he can dig up residency/ownership records --- **[4/25/2026, 4:03:26 PM] Veth** Ask him how his mother is doing. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:03:29 PM] Michelle** I'm still thinking we buy them off if they're not too unreasonable. Then we keep digging until we can off the bastard. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:03:57 PM] Michelle** potions! --- **[4/25/2026, 4:03:59 PM] Debinani** Break Time Complete --- **[4/25/2026, 4:04:05 PM] Michelle** And I wasn't even there for rthat --- **[4/25/2026, 4:04:14 PM] Debinani** Mayvik was the only one there, that was Khevoran 1. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:14:48 PM] Rob** We're making it up as we go along? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:14:59 PM] Jason G** still a couple with Zzz --- **[4/25/2026, 4:16:29 PM] Watcher** What's our goal here, wipe them off the map? hostile take over? make peace? alliance? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:16:31 PM] Eidolon** Neverwinter nights was a pretty fun game, I miss it. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:16:38 PM] Watcher** once we know that, we can plan --- **[4/25/2026, 4:17:40 PM] Rob** Ideally, yes. My vote is to try to make peace, as long as we're not paying them for it, and try to get rid of them later. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:17:55 PM] Watcher** They're on the ropes, in any case, so we have an opportunity for any of those things if we want to make a run at it. Probably the best opportunity we'll ever get. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:18:09 PM] Michelle** I think we'll be paying something for it. Just don't know what. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:18:56 PM] Rob** They're currently more 'hurt' than us so we should have the upper hand in negotiations. We shouldn't have to pay them. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:19:02 PM] Cam** I'll contact Venn. At least see what it'll take to get them off our backs for now. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:19:23 PM] Cam** But we still owe him one, and nothing says we can't keep working on a longer term solution. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:19:24 PM] Cam** Cam grins --- **[4/25/2026, 4:19:26 PM] Watcher** In fact, if we go the peace route instead of taking advantage of their enforcer being gone, we could make a very good "friend" with an offer of support. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:20:04 PM] Random** taking them out just creates a power vacuum. I like the long game idea of absorbing them. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:20:20 PM] Watcher** Maybe we offer to help keep the peace in their area while he's locked away? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:20:24 PM] Michelle** Neutral tone, just saying it's in both our best interests to stop the war. Ask to meet or make an offer. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:20:28 PM] Watcher** gets us in with the locals as well --- **[4/25/2026, 4:20:47 PM] Cam** I'm not sure I'm ready to trust his people that far yet. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:21:07 PM] Cam** Let's see how reasonable Venn wants to be about this. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:21:08 PM] Watcher** Just aid is all --- **[4/25/2026, 4:21:13 PM] Debinani** 3 2d6 = 3 = 3 --- **[4/25/2026, 4:21:21 PM] Michelle** so not very. lol --- **[4/25/2026, 4:21:26 PM] Rob** Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries! --- **[4/25/2026, 4:22:39 PM] Debinani** Fortune Partial Success The result is mixed. You have limited or partial effect. 2 1 5 3d6 = 8 = 8 --- **[4/25/2026, 4:23:47 PM] Michelle** hang on --- **[4/25/2026, 4:23:53 PM] Veth** this one isn't our fault! Possibly! --- **[4/25/2026, 4:23:57 PM] Jason G** kill us, or send a message --- **[4/25/2026, 4:24:23 PM] Jason G** this is in our area? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:24:49 PM] Michelle** Sorry, I missed part of that - hubby was talking to kid on the phone. --- **[4/25/2026, 4:24:53 PM] Veth** but who has two or three carts of breasts?! --- **[4/25/2026, 4:25:03 PM] Michelle** lovely --- **[4/25/2026, 4:25:23 PM] Cam** Cam ducks for cover --- **[4/25/2026, 4:25:35 PM] Nyx** Nyx finds cover --- **[4/25/2026, 4:25:36 PM] Jason G** and we were coming to deliver the note, right? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:25:36 PM] Michelle** This was on our way to their turf? --- **[4/25/2026, 4:26:18 PM] Boo** "Oi!
