an extra training. Not enough stress to stress about yet
[6/6/2026, 2:38:49 PM] Random
recorder is off I think. unless you’re not using that anymore.
[6/6/2026, 2:39:20 PM] debinani
That’s good. The only thing the recorder missed was the recap.
Nope. You can go up to three if you fill a category. You can get a dot in whatever is within that category.
[6/6/2026, 2:39:56 PM] Jason G
if a stat category gets full, anything special needed to raise a state (below 4) ?
[6/6/2026, 2:40:20 PM] debinani
Then I think you’d like right click on the first one to the first dot to get it to clear or something like that.
You are extra proudly. Yes, you are. Proudly is good.

cool, I am extra prowly

I’m the the and then like right now on leads to deal with the reclaim or circle you still know that there is a there’s a antiquities dealer.
That you know works with them and then you’re contemplating just you know going to the various places in the territory.
[6/6/2026, 2:44:27 PM] Cam
If no one has a good reason not to, then let’s pack it up and go make a visit. Everyone on their best behavior. eyes Nyx and Boo

I will need to visit the Dimmer Sisters at Six Towers to deliver the perfume, at some point this week.
[6/6/2026, 2:44:56 PM] debinani
Yeah, the address is.
It’s in six hours and it’s you know I mean most of six hours is a little a little rundown you and you guys don’t really know it very well but I guess you’ll find out.
[6/6/2026, 2:45:43 PM] Michelle
What’s this about perfume? Don’t remember that. heh
[6/6/2026, 2:45:44 PM] debinani
She she made some goth girl perfume to try to impress the goth girls I guess.
you
[6/6/2026, 2:46:01 PM] Michelle
gotcha
[6/6/2026, 2:46:09 PM] Kristian

Boo mouths “what?” to the look
[6/6/2026, 2:46:21 PM] Kristian
smells like a scarecrow full of dead leaves and burning clove.
[6/6/2026, 2:46:27 PM] Nyx
This works out well.
[6/6/2026, 2:46:44 PM] debinani
you guys get your crap together and and head out head out of the world definitely a whole lot of looking over your shoulder it seems the you know reclaim or circle definitely was was showing out a lot of money to try to deal with you all.
I guess the old all the vent was at his name and decided to take things perfectly.
[6/6/2026, 2:46:59 PM] Nyx
Nyx slips the perfum into her pocket.
[6/6/2026, 2:47:16 PM] Jason G
definitely clove cigarettes and book dust
[6/6/2026, 2:47:20 PM] debinani
It’s close secrets and book does exactly right.
So you head across the district you’re getting kind of to the south of the district close to the bridges over the night market and and you arrive at the address it is a.
Oh it’s a.
Imagine a you know the the the houses of this part of town it’s not like they have a lot of land nobody in.
[6/6/2026, 2:47:57 PM] debinani
Dust fall has a lot of land so the houses are very very close together but they were still at one point the homes of the elite so they don’t have a lot of land but they are like separate houses they’re not like brown stones and this house looks like it could be the add in family house right it’s just sort of like big three story with gables gothic you know thing it is.
You know it’s it’s maintained but it’s obviously very very old and there are two fellows standing at either side of the front door up a very very short path from the street wearing you know fairly respectable essentially suits.
[6/6/2026, 2:48:53 PM] debinani
But they’re they’re definitely muscle and they are staying in the side of the door watching the small herd of you somewhat suspiciously as you approach the the footpath and.
I each of.
[6/6/2026, 2:49:23 PM] Cam
Cam approaches and holds out the card given to us
[6/6/2026, 2:49:30 PM] debinani
He one of the one of the guys takes the card and looks at it looks at you and it kind of looks at the rest of you and raise the eyebrow because I mean.
What there’s six year I mean and he takes the card and pockets it and and he says well alright then this way and he opens the door and.
Emotions you all in.
[6/6/2026, 2:49:35 PM] Cam
We’d like an audience with the Sisters, please.

[6/6/2026, 2:49:54 PM] Eidolon
Eidolon waves and smiles.
[6/6/2026, 2:50:04 PM] debinani
You all file into.
The entry for your of the Adams family house right is a gothic it’s very tastefully decorated it’s not gotty at all it’s all just a little old and a little shabby.
But definitely you know the house has been well taken care of there is another fellow inside after your escorted after you are shown in and this is actually the coachman from from who had been driving the coach the previous.
[6/6/2026, 2:50:42 PM] debinani
Day so he’s the one not the day but a couple days prior and so it’s the same coachman who had read about he obviously recognizes you and smile slightly.
And and says and says well.
That was probably a good choice you coming in and making the making the right motions give me a few minutes and I’ll be right with you and he.
Goes through a set of sliding double doors into you know what look like might be a parlor and he closes them behind him and and you’re all just kind of standing around in this in this for your staring at each other.

You know surprisingly few small little bubbles.
You know there there is some decor but nothing like small and and abolish this more like tapestries and you know statuary and so forth.

[6/6/2026, 2:52:11 PM] debinani
All right.
After several minutes I mean like an uncomfortable you know are they just going to kill us like the time.
The doors open it’s the the coachman again and he he gestures you in and says right this way.
[6/6/2026, 2:52:17 PM] Veth
Small is a relative term, thank you very much!

Shelves lined with books all the books are all like dusty and you get a sense of maybe a little mold.
There are a couple of chairs in front of a large fireplace but the fire place is not burning it’s it’s been tamped down there’s just kind of some coals glowing there but over on one wall or not on one wall but but sort of against one wall next to another set of doors there is a sizable sizable desk and the desk has various.
[6/6/2026, 2:54:11 PM] debinani
Papers and files upon it stacked a little half hazardly and you know there are you know there’s a there’s an inkwell and you know all the normal things that somebody with a somewhat disorganized mind would would have on their desk behind the desk sitting in a chair is a very different.
Dimmer sister obviously not the same one though she is dressed identically she is dressed in the black very fine velvety dress she’s got the black lace shawl.
[6/6/2026, 2:54:14 PM] Veth
resist urge to burn down library…

right next to the album collection filled with The Cure and Switchblade Symphony albums
[6/6/2026, 2:54:57 PM] debinani
But unlike the other one she is probably four foot eight four foot nine at best definitely much more curvy than the than the very skinny one that cam spoke to.
And her feet it don’t even touch the floor you can actually see under the desk she’s got some very practical black boots and green and purple striped woolen’s sticking out from the bottom of her her black velvety dress at her her legs are just kicking.
[6/6/2026, 2:55:32 PM] debinani
And she’s got a little bit of an idly under the desk you all file in and and and essentially present yourselves.
And and she says she says oh hello there i’m glad that you i’m glad that you i’m glad you were prompt.
You’re the you’re the lot from the from the what was it.

You’re the lot from the phrase your manner right the carriage house.
Definitely less you know spooky creepy than than the last one.
[6/6/2026, 2:56:23 PM] Boo
That would be correct, yes.
[6/6/2026, 2:56:35 PM] Cam
Yes, ma’am. Thank you for seeing us.

Well my name is sister Beatrice and i’m so pleased to meet all of you.
It’s so it’s so interesting to see young up in comers.
And she asks kind of she asks all your name names in turn i’m not going to make you all type it out but you know you all kind of identify yourself.
[6/6/2026, 2:57:20 PM] debinani
Well then so you would like to operate out of.
Frazier manner.
It was a shame to hear about poor poor professor landcaster what a he’d been he’d been working out there for some time.
[6/6/2026, 2:57:28 PM] Veth
Some call me… Tim.
[6/6/2026, 2:57:43 PM] Cam
Yes, if that would be possible.
[6/6/2026, 2:58:14 PM] Boo
Yes, it was quite tragic really.
[6/6/2026, 2:58:20 PM] debinani
Yeah such a shame well as you know as you know doubt no by now that particular carriage house is a very special place.
We were quite fond of it and and let for the professor work there for for for quite some time watch your study in the books there’s there is nothing on these bookcases that has been published in the last 200 years it’s it’s it’s and and most of them don’t look like they’ve been opened in the last 200 years.
[6/6/2026, 2:58:31 PM] Cam
So we suspected. We had hoped to find him alive. shrugs slightly
[6/6/2026, 2:58:46 PM] Freakshow
Certainly smeled like he had been there a long time.
[6/6/2026, 2:58:58 PM] Watcher
Watcher quietly studies the books in any bookcases
[6/6/2026, 2:59:18 PM] debinani
Certainly with the professor landcaster gone we would be we would be happy to we would be happy to make an arrangement in fact we did take note that because the special nature of the carriage house and the fact that there were no spirit warden activity in the area.
We assume you probably have the ghost of poor serial yes.
[6/6/2026, 2:59:24 PM] Veth
WATCHER NO WATCHING!
[6/6/2026, 2:59:58 PM] Boo
Boo nods slowly
[6/6/2026, 3:00:04 PM] Cam
Yes we do.
[6/6/2026, 3:00:08 PM] debinani
We are willing to offer you our sufferance to operate in Frazier manager manner and the carriage house and whatever way you see fit we will ask no tithe simply that you do not knowingly operate against our interests and whatever you operate.
There are we and we’re happy to do so on two conditions the first we want landcasters goes.
[6/6/2026, 3:00:41 PM] debinani
The second we have a small job for which your talents are incredibly suitable.
But before you decide the only other thing you should know is that the ownership of Frazier manager had a Frazier manner has been somewhat uncertain since the purge we obviously don’t own the property by any sort of legal legal means we simply have it under our protection.
[6/6/2026, 3:01:17 PM] debinani
I don’t believe that anybody has laid claim to it lately but that doesn’t necessarily mean that somebody may not come holding a deed or title and and wish you out of there.
So just be aware that we’re not conferring ownership in any way that’s your problem.
[6/6/2026, 3:01:39 PM] Boo
Understood.
[6/6/2026, 3:01:51 PM] Veth
We may need to murder someone is what she’s telling us. Sweet.
[6/6/2026, 3:02:04 PM] debinani
Excellent.
I don’t suppose you happen to have the ghost of poor serial with you.
I’m not sure if they’re actually carrying it around on them. I mean this was a social call.
[6/6/2026, 3:02:11 PM] Cam
I think those terms are more than acceptable.
[6/6/2026, 3:02:20 PM] Michelle
Lancaster was nuts when we bottled him anyway
[6/6/2026, 3:02:38 PM] Michelle
Boo or Crow did, right?
[6/6/2026, 3:02:43 PM] Boo
And while we would never knowingly work against your interests, should we by happenstance encroach on the edges of such activity we’d be politely infomred, yes?
[6/6/2026, 3:02:45 PM] debinani
If anybody does it’s boo I just don’t know if she’d be lugging them around.
Oh yes we won’t be shy.
[6/6/2026, 3:03:04 PM] Veth
We carry all our crazy scientist ghosts in our fanny packs.
[6/6/2026, 3:03:07 PM] Boo
No, we don’t have the poor late professor with us, but we can deliver him with very little delay
[6/6/2026, 3:03:08 PM] Kristian
can they even tell if we just give them a random ghost?
[6/6/2026, 3:03:15 PM] Kristian
until they crack the bottle open?
[6/6/2026, 3:03:20 PM] Michelle
lol. Good question
[6/6/2026, 3:03:29 PM] debinani
Excellent. Could they tell if you just gave them random ghost you don’t know the dimmer sisters are all whispers they are spooky creepy ghost just you know this is this is sort of their wheelhouse.
So scurrying them over with something ghosty probably not smart would they know if you just handed them a random ghost bottle that had a ghost in it maybe not do you want to chance that with what I believe they are a tier three or tier four gang almost certainly not.
[6/6/2026, 3:03:36 PM] Random
I’d not risk it.
[6/6/2026, 3:03:44 PM] Kristian
so when they ghost-torture him for all his secrets we don’t set ourselves up for round 2.
[6/6/2026, 3:04:06 PM] Michelle
Cam wants to be on the up-and-up with them so there’s no ill will being in their territory
[6/6/2026, 3:04:12 PM] debinani
Especially since you all have been at war since you know at war with a another faction since like literally the beginning of the campaign.
Okay so you say no don’t have a honest she she’s like that’s fine just please deliver him at your early opportunity and she she makes a little note on a on a piece of paper that she’s she’s got in front of her as to the small job.
[6/6/2026, 3:04:16 PM] Jason G

So there is a vault beneath Lord Kilgrave’s estate in Brightstone.
Lord Kilgrave is he’s not a member of the town council but he is definitely a incredibly wealthy and powerful person Brightstone is the district where the very richest of the rich live.
And you know so you know the name Kilgrave he’s just you know he operates some you know any number of business interests in the city.
[6/6/2026, 3:05:41 PM] debinani
He has within this vault an artifact and she leans over and opens up a drawer in the desk and and shuffles around it at a little bit and he pulls out and she pulls out a a looks it looks like it’s made of gold and it’s very very old tarnished and looks like a
I don’t know it’s like a a tiki it’s all just something it’s very old and very tribal looking some some like tribal artifact made of made of gold and and and she she pulls it out this things about maybe eight inches tall maybe five or six inches wide I mean you can think of the artifact at the beginning of Indiana Jones right it’s something like that she sets it she leans over and sets it in front of the table in front of you all.
[6/6/2026, 3:05:48 PM] Veth
He also fights Black Panther.
[6/6/2026, 3:06:24 PM] Jason G
juste une petite affaire
[6/6/2026, 3:06:39 PM] debinani
It looks exactly like this we need you to put your hands on that artifact and replace it with this replica we would like you to do it as quietly as possible so that they are unaware of the switch but if you are detected for whatever reason or have to go loud make sure that there’s no
suspicion that this artifact has been disturbed or indeed swapped out bring us the artifact bring us the artifact with Lord Kilgrave being on the wiser that it’s missing bring us the Ghost of Lancaster and we will be quite magnetimous neighbors I assure you.

Well it’s certainly defended enough that that we needed to hire we needed a hiring group of a group of scoundrels who have a reputation of being able to walk through walls.
We know that the vault is in the basement of the estate and and the estate has the typical protections you would expect of a man of power prestige you defense in depth from muscle to from muscle to the arcane.
[6/6/2026, 3:08:58 PM] Cam
We’ll get it done. Is there anything you might be able to tell us about the vault or the estate’s defenses?

[6/6/2026, 3:13:47 PM] debinani
She, uh, I see.
She, uh, she takes the bottle and, and uh, examines it very briefly and takes the cork off and takes a, uh, what you can only describe as a, uh, hesitant sniff.
[6/6/2026, 3:13:51 PM] Nyx
I call it Les Doigts de Alchemist
[6/6/2026, 3:14:00 PM] Nyx
A special perfume.
[6/6/2026, 3:14:03 PM] Jason G
@veth Poison by Dior is the late 80s go-to
[6/6/2026, 3:14:15 PM] Veth
lol
[6/6/2026, 3:14:20 PM] debinani
And she’s like, oh, how delightful. Well, thank you. And she puts the cork on it and sets it, uh, sets it down on the, on the desk in front of her and folds her hands.
You
[6/6/2026, 3:14:37 PM] Nyx
Nyx nods and smiles
[6/6/2026, 3:14:41 PM] Nyx
I am a fan.
[6/6/2026, 3:15:04 PM] Nyx
Of the Sisters.
[6/6/2026, 3:15:09 PM] Nyx
It’s an honor.
[6/6/2026, 3:15:20 PM] debinani
Have fun storming the Calgrave estate. Don’t, uh, don’t rush. We, uh, we know how to find you if you, uh, if you, if you take too long.
[6/6/2026, 3:15:21 PM] Cam
We’ll be in touch when the job is done, then. Thank you again for your time. nods to her
[6/6/2026, 3:15:27 PM] Nyx
Nyx back steps and bows her head.
[6/6/2026, 3:15:32 PM] Veth
Good save, this sister is a literalist and almost turned you into a cooling device.
[6/6/2026, 3:15:40 PM] Cam
Cam nods
[6/6/2026, 3:15:46 PM] Cam
Cam herds the group out
[6/6/2026, 3:15:51 PM] debinani
Okay. Uh, so you guys are, are, are herded out, um, you know, out into the street.
Um, and, uh, um, you’re all kind of going back to the layer or, uh, going to go back to the, uh, carriage house.
You
[6/6/2026, 3:16:00 PM] Jason G
tries not to moo
[6/6/2026, 3:16:01 PM] Boo
We may have one or two matters to resolve, but we will give your errend the due dilligence it deserves
[6/6/2026, 3:16:43 PM] Nyx
I wonder why they want the ghost.
[6/6/2026, 3:16:45 PM] Boo
I have a few guesses
[6/6/2026, 3:16:50 PM] debinani
You
[6/6/2026, 3:16:53 PM] Michelle
I’m thinking we need to go home to re-equip and get the ghost on its way
[6/6/2026, 3:17:13 PM] Cam
Hopefully they won’t mind his current state of mind.
[6/6/2026, 3:17:14 PM] Watcher
Why did you want the ghost? I presume it’s not so different.
[6/6/2026, 3:17:15 PM] Cam
Cam shrugs
[6/6/2026, 3:17:21 PM] debinani
You
You
You
You guys had the ghost because he flipped out and started like making a run at you and you just
Bottleed him up.
So
Bottom up, put him on a shelf.
Okay. So you guys are sculpting your way back to the layer in charter hall.
And, um,
Um, are you going to head back to the layer, pick up the ghost, deliver the ghost?
[6/6/2026, 3:17:47 PM] Cam
Let’s head back home. We need to get the ghost sent this way as a gesture of good will. And we can plan out this job,
[6/6/2026, 3:17:47 PM] Boo
I say take a day or two to deliver. we’ve been seen, most likely, coming to visit. a second visit too soon might not be prudent. for either party.
[6/6/2026, 3:18:06 PM] debinani
If she didn’t particularly seem like, uh, uh, the, the job was urgent.
But I would like to say that you do not have a ghost secret extraction device.
[6/6/2026, 3:18:18 PM] Boo
I’ll deliver professor in a couple of days
[6/6/2026, 3:18:29 PM] Jason G
do we have a Ghost’s Secrets Extraction Device back home?
[6/6/2026, 3:18:39 PM] Michelle
I figured just send the thing with a courier of some kind, not us :P
[6/6/2026, 3:18:44 PM] Boo
I sitll want time to examine him a bit myself before we lose possesion
[6/6/2026, 3:19:02 PM] debinani
Yeah.
Yeah. You do still have all of his papers and research and stuff, but it’s all in, you know, code.
Uh, you had talked about doing it just nobody had actually made any roles. Nobody had actually researched it.
[6/6/2026, 3:19:20 PM] Freakshow
Perhaps he’ll have an opinion about his new custodians.
[6/6/2026, 3:19:38 PM] Jason G
I swear we had started a timer to study that too.. maybe not?
[6/6/2026, 3:19:42 PM] debinani
So when you’re, when somebody wants to take a downtime activity to actually start doing that, then, um, I’ll create a clock for it.
But yes, it’s a long term project.
Okay.
[6/6/2026, 3:19:54 PM] Cam
Sure, fine. Find out what you can.
[6/6/2026, 3:20:16 PM] Random
I’m going to be working on a new ritual when I get a chance.
[6/6/2026, 3:20:16 PM] debinani
Okay. So back to the incandescent.
Trying to stay low profile, maybe underground as much as you can since.
Okay.
Okay.
[6/6/2026, 3:20:35 PM] Michelle
Yep
[6/6/2026, 3:21:00 PM] debinani
All right.
So nothing jumps out and tries to kill you. So that’s good.
Um, um, oh, what is her name? The proprietor of the Incadaneville.
She always seems to know when you, when you, when you’re in, um, Mara is that her name?
Gosh, I am completely, completely out of it.
[6/6/2026, 3:21:35 PM] debinani
Yes, Mara.
Uh, you know, at one point, one of you goes upstairs to get some food and she kind of gives you an odd look and, you know, mentions that Jen seen any any of you in it in over a week and was a little worried.
Um, besides that, here you are.
[6/6/2026, 3:22:06 PM] Kristian
“you seem tired from climbing 20 flights of stairs from your underground lair”
[6/6/2026, 3:22:21 PM] debinani
So we’ve got the reclaimer circle to deal with. We have the, um,
the, uh, the, uh, the, the kill grave job.
What’s the plan?
[6/6/2026, 3:23:06 PM] Veth
Elevator for the underground lair is my vote.
[6/6/2026, 3:23:06 PM] debinani
Yeah.
The, uh, not having the, not having the extra downtime is a painful.
[6/6/2026, 3:23:10 PM] Kristian
I feel like Reclaimers should be priority…if for no other reason than it’s sword of damoclese and we can’t destress.
[6/6/2026, 3:23:18 PM] Random
and I want our extra downtime back.
[6/6/2026, 3:23:33 PM] Veth
Mayvik’s plan is better.
[6/6/2026, 3:23:59 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay. What you know about the reclaimer circle at this point, um, you know that there is a, um, a, uh, antique, uh,
[6/6/2026, 3:24:07 PM] Michelle
Yeah, we need to get back on that. They’re just buttoned up so tight, we have to be extra careful messing around over there.
[6/6/2026, 3:24:30 PM] debinani
uh, anti-quarian records business called the meridian, uh, which is actually kind of near your territory. You know, they use this guy. His name’s Oswin.
Um, they use him as a fence and certifier for, for goods all the time. Um, and then you, you certainly know where their territory is. You know, a couple of, uh, of their haunts.
And then you’ve got another month or so before, uh, what’s his name gets out of jail.
[6/6/2026, 3:24:38 PM] Jason G
and what exactly is.. the plan
[6/6/2026, 3:25:19 PM] Jason G
how can I get names to show as their characters? it’s like Perma-ooC?
[6/6/2026, 3:25:23 PM] debinani
Um, should be like your default chat should be the IC chat. Is it not?
While we’re on this, uh, scene. Yeah.
Interesting. I haven’t patched anything. I’ve done nothing.
[6/6/2026, 3:25:42 PM] Watcher
test
[6/6/2026, 3:25:45 PM] Watcher
nope
[6/6/2026, 3:25:45 PM] Veth
if we type /ooc it does that, otherwise it’s character names
[6/6/2026, 3:26:01 PM] Jason G
ok, I had to /iC once and now it works by default. strange
[6/6/2026, 3:26:08 PM] debinani
I learned my lesson.
So as we discussed, the way that you would, the different ways to make the reclaimer circle go away. One, you would, you probably need to, um,
[6/6/2026, 3:26:17 PM] Veth
that was pre-scene I bet.
[6/6/2026, 3:26:21 PM] Watcher

[6/6/2026, 3:26:27 PM] Kristian

[6/6/2026, 3:26:37 PM] Kristian
works on my end.
[6/6/2026, 3:26:49 PM] Kristian
Gwent?
[6/6/2026, 3:26:50 PM] Eidolon
Sure.
[6/6/2026, 3:27:07 PM] debinani
either claim their turf or, or, or, you know, otherwise, um, otherwise like reduce their, their power base. So, um, you know, places like the meridian or any place within their territory that they, they operate.
That would be a way to sort of reduce their, their hold.
Um, uh, their second and commands in iron hook, you guys don’t really know where alder, van lives. If you just wanted to off him, you kind of have to figure out where he’s at.
[6/6/2026, 3:27:41 PM] debinani
Um, um, you know, and, uh, you’ve already, you’ve already just like taken a huge bite out of their resources. So, um, you know, stealing from the, you’re not entirely sure what’s left is steal.
Um, uh, they do still have that antique store that you know about in, crow’s foot, the one that we started this whole, this whole, uh, shenanigans in that’s still there and presumably still operating.
But essentially the idea is you just, you just take away what’s theirs until, um, until they essentially dissolve.
[6/6/2026, 3:28:27 PM] debinani
Or you make a deal, but I mean, you guys are on your way to make a deal last time, their sniper started shooting you. So he seems, uh, he seems pretty intent on not dealing.
You absolutely could. If you wanted to, uh, you could hire, um, you, uh, it’s essentially a downtime action. You hire, uh, a cohort or two or three or however many and, uh, you, uh, you could hire a, uh, uh,
[6/6/2026, 3:28:43 PM] Michelle
yeah, that didn’t work
[6/6/2026, 3:28:47 PM] Kristian
is there a ghost white-flag?
[6/6/2026, 3:29:04 PM] Veth
we could try cramming a flag pole inside one.
[6/6/2026, 3:29:05 PM] Random
we could have Nyx bake him a cake.
[6/6/2026, 3:29:07 PM] Kristian
I mean or we can just buy some thugs and go kill them all, since apparen tly they can just buy mercs to fight us?
[6/6/2026, 3:29:26 PM] debinani
you can go just knock some heads.
.
[6/6/2026, 3:29:32 PM] Kristian
Can we find like a baby group and promise to carve them out an area of former Reclaimers area if they help us?
[6/6/2026, 3:29:48 PM] Michelle
We’ve been warned to keep the body count down tho.
[6/6/2026, 3:30:26 PM] debinani
Yep. I mean, you, you, you can disappear corpses, but I mean, it, it’s a lot of work. I mean, a lot of corpses just get dumped in the canals. Happens all the time.
.
[6/6/2026, 3:30:30 PM] Kristian
Ehhhh…yeah sucks it is like impossible to disappear corpses because the stupid ghost patrol shows up with great fanfare
[6/6/2026, 3:31:21 PM] Jason G
unless we disappear them in the Professors warded carriagehouse…
[6/6/2026, 3:31:21 PM] Kristian
yeah but there’s not really a way to disappear ghosts right? You’d have to somehow KO people and then put them on a slow death process so they croak elsewhere/hidden?
[6/6/2026, 3:31:26 PM] debinani
Yeah, I mean, so ghosts generally take several days to, uh, separate themselves from the body. Uh, so what ends up happening is people dump a body in the canal and then, uh, some number of days later, a ghost will come out and start causing, causing chaos.
And in a lot of cases, the death, see your crows will find them. They’ll, they’ll, the crows will just perch, uh, near where the body was, tossing the canal and the spirit words will come and, and dredge for the body, um, which I’m sure they just freaking love having to do.
[6/6/2026, 3:31:36 PM] Jason G
and slurp the ghost
[6/6/2026, 3:32:23 PM] debinani
.
Uh, when you’ve got a crazy little alchemist, I mean, there’s a, there’s a, uh, um, it’s a perfectly feasible feasible thing. She’s, she’s got, she probably has vials of any number of things to tamper with booze with.
[6/6/2026, 3:32:29 PM] Michelle
Think we can come up with something to tamper with the booze at their favorite tavern? Make enough of them sick to lower the muscle in the streets so we can hunt down Venn?
[6/6/2026, 3:32:41 PM] Michelle
Requires some sneaky-sneaky though
[6/6/2026, 3:33:00 PM] debinani
.
.
Um, I mean, if you had decrypted the notes, perhaps you could recreate the poison.
[6/6/2026, 3:33:03 PM] Nyx
Nyx nods really fast
[6/6/2026, 3:33:11 PM] Kristian
oh no I accidentally gave them all a mix of PCP and boner pills!
[6/6/2026, 3:33:12 PM] Michelle
Maybe spy on the inn for a bit and figure out the supplier
[6/6/2026, 3:33:13 PM] Nyx
Of course.
[6/6/2026, 3:33:16 PM] Jason G
could we recreate the poison from the notes we have?
[6/6/2026, 3:33:23 PM] Michelle
We just have been mixed on the stealth rolls
[6/6/2026, 3:33:44 PM] debinani

[6/6/2026, 3:34:01 PM] Michelle

[6/6/2026, 3:34:20 PM] Random
now that we are more comfy I want to examine the statue thing more closely for anything spooky in nature, while the others are planning murder.
[6/6/2026, 3:34:21 PM] debinani
Poisoning the booze at the favorite hot, definitely an option.
.
Okay, you can make another attuneral. This one’s the same. It’s, uh, um, controlled and, um, controlled standard.

[6/6/2026, 3:35:08 PM] debinani
. Um, yeah, so you take a look at the, uh, the, um, the counterfeit statue. Uh, it is definitely rigged with some sort of ritual.
You don’t know what it is. You don’t know what it does. It is definitely rigged with, uh, some layers of rituals.

Boo handle it with more care.
[6/6/2026, 3:35:54 PM] Boo
Boo lets the others know.
[6/6/2026, 3:36:00 PM] Jason G
while others are doing whatever, Watcher will start setting up the professors conspiracy board again and in any downtime moments he will be studying the notes, trying to decypher them, etc..
[6/6/2026, 3:36:18 PM] debinani
.
I’ll say it’s, um, oh, I’m going to do two clocks. I’m going to do one for the poison recipe. I’m going to do one for, um, the broader conspiracy.
[6/6/2026, 3:36:31 PM] Cam
Lovely. Put it somewhere safe until we can get it where it needs to go.
[6/6/2026, 3:36:54 PM] debinani
.
Yeah, I mean, and then going and getting Intel’s not a bad thing either. I mean, there’s, you guys have networks. You have contacts. You could go talk to people. Heck, you could go talk to lock it. Maybe, maybe, maybe they’re at the point where they’re willing to give you a hint. Who knows, uh, and try to find out, hey, where, where exactly is Vens hide out? Like where is, you know, where, where, where really do they, is their center of power?
[6/6/2026, 3:37:53 PM] debinani
You could do that. Um, I think you, you probably need to take another, at least another big bite out of them first, though.
.
Basically, they are at tier zero strong. Um, if they are at tier zero week, and you take their layer away from them, they, they will essentially dissolve.
.
[6/6/2026, 3:38:30 PM] debinani

Um, I mean, she’s just in a corner of your layer. I mean, don’t a little mantel piece on a little mantel. I guess.

where are we storing statue lady?
[6/6/2026, 3:39:13 PM] Random

Okay.
You, you put it down and, and she’s actually like, what is this? Are you making a collection?

[6/6/2026, 3:39:46 PM] Watcher

I mean, your layer is technically a secretive. People are wandering down, around down here. You have a much bigger problems.

[6/6/2026, 3:40:59 PM] Watcher
So, maybe not just out on the mantle then…
[6/6/2026, 3:41:00 PM] Boo

[6/6/2026, 3:41:18 PM] Boo
Boo smiles innocently
[6/6/2026, 3:41:39 PM] Michelle
So how about this? Watcher and Eidolon go spy on the inn and figure out where the booze comes in, preferably the supplier. And Cam will send a request to see Locket. Nyx can work on an additive to make people a bit sick.

Okay. Fair enough. Um, so, cam is going to send, I mean, you could see lock it or, I mean, you know we’re lock and holds court. If you, but it means kind of going to the south end of the, uh,

disgruntled employee who might be able to give up the goods on where the reclaimers
really call home. But that’s my suggestion. Along with continuing to keep it

does the distilery have free tastings in the front shop? asking for a friend
[6/6/2026, 4:29:16 PM] debinani
So you all pile in a cab because it’s kind of a long way. You had all the way through
Charter Hall, through the University Quarter and across the rail bridge. And night market
is built on, well, the south end of night market is where the rail station is, where the
huge protected trains run across the empire via rail and semi-magical portals. But the
[6/6/2026, 4:29:57 PM] debinani
north half of the market is really exactly what it sounds like. It’s markets, it’s craftsmen,
it is bazaars, there is a dog racing track. It’s built on several layers of itself, right?
It goes down, it goes down several, several layers pretty deep. In fact, to get to the address,
your carriage actually goes like down a ramp into a part of the undercity that actually
[6/6/2026, 4:30:35 PM] debinani
has like wide enough roads for carts. And so you have the cart drop you off because you
don’t want to be too conspicuous. You have the carriage drop you off, a couple blocks from
this distillery. You all pile out. And as inconspicuously as you can go case the place out.
So still wants to still worry is in the undercity. Basically, it’s, you know, there’s a part
[6/6/2026, 4:30:41 PM] Watcher
Try not to be too conspicuous here, it wouldn’t be hard to put pieces together if our visit is strongly noted
[6/6/2026, 4:31:15 PM] debinani
of the undercity where all the bazaars and the shopkeepers and want kind of fall away. And it
just becomes business, right? So it’s just, it’s brick walls and, you know, girders kind
of keeping the street and the buildings above from collapsing, mostly successfully. And still
wants to still worry is essentially just a, you come within a couple hundred yards of it.
[6/6/2026, 4:31:47 PM] debinani
And basically what it is, it’s a almost like you’ve got the road, which largely is brick
and some doors going up and down. And then you’ve essentially got a hollow where with a little
sign hanging out front of the system and the stillery. And it looks like what they do is they bring,
you know, casks and bottles and whatnot out here. Delivery carriages roll up. They load them up and,
and they move along. If you were to guess, because sugar, I think sugar said they grow all their
[6/6/2026, 4:32:23 PM] debinani
own stuff. If you’re to guess, they’re probably sitting on top of a cave where they can grow mushrooms
and other such plants that can be, you know, brewed and distilled into the various, into the various
spirits. So, but this is their main entrance. It’s a, it’s a, it’s a couple of double doors that,
that they, that they cart booze out of and then a small, you know, personnel door that might go into a
[6/6/2026, 4:32:56 PM] debinani
front office or something. But certainly, certainly largely nondescript, definitely not flashy and
definitely not a storefront that they’re giving away samples from.

service. I guess you do. Oh, your big one is in hunt. Okay, got it. Okay, so cool. So you make a

[6/6/2026, 4:35:46 PM] Cam
quietly Boo, see anything else that might not be visible?
[6/6/2026, 4:35:53 PM] Jason G
anyone else survey?
[6/6/2026, 4:36:00 PM] debinani
There’s a few people with one dot, but if you’re checking with ghost echoes, you can roll survey or a tune.
But you can all check with ghost echoes.
Or not.
[6/6/2026, 4:36:14 PM] Jason G
I have two dots
[6/6/2026, 4:36:35 PM] Jason G
“watcher” and everything :D

Survey
Risky | Standard
Failure
Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity.

1d6 = 3 = 3
[6/6/2026, 4:36:49 PM] Random
would it be to check for spooks or magic? Attune? or…?
[6/6/2026, 4:36:52 PM] Michelle
Cam sees nothing!
[6/6/2026, 4:36:53 PM] debinani
Okay, watch her. You want to make a survey roll for a survey with ghost echoes.
If you’re, if you’re using the ghost echo site that that, uh, uh, Mr. Sash imparts upon you, uh, you can, uh,
you can use a tune or survey. Um, it’s controlled. You guys are basically casing the joint.
And there’s enough foot traffic here that you’re not really noticed.
Okay.
[6/6/2026, 4:37:13 PM] Jason G
controlled? risky?
[6/6/2026, 4:37:19 PM] Boo
Attune
Controlled | Standard
Failure
You falter. Press on by seizing a risky opportunity, or withdraw and try a different approach.

Critical Success!
You do it with increased effect.

[6/6/2026, 4:37:31 PM] Michelle
oh. Can I try again? lol
[6/6/2026, 4:37:36 PM] debinani
Okay, so you all are like squinting and trying to, you know, trying to, exactly, I was
all the dice like trying to see what’s going on and watch her you, you know, you blink a few times
[6/6/2026, 4:37:40 PM] Michelle
Nm.
[6/6/2026, 4:38:01 PM] Jason G
that was 100% of dice luck for the campaign btw
[6/6/2026, 4:38:08 PM] debinani
and get that, get that beyond the veil sight going on and you see that at some point in the
past long before this distillery was built, there is a cave that goes down quite a long way,
which is probably where they’re doing all their growing and where they’re aging their
their spirits. And the building that or the sub-basement that’s next to their current location
[6/6/2026, 4:38:49 PM] debinani
used to be the base of a guard tower and it had a, it had a ways in and out. And so you actually see
a very clear path where you would go through this wall, go through a far wall and you would end up
probably in like where they where they’re aging their spirits at probably in their in their aging
[6/6/2026, 4:39:20 PM] debinani
room. So you see a very, very clear path that you guys could do kind of ghost echoes walking
all the way all the way back to their back to their essentially their warehouse.
Now, how you guys will identify the exact booths that is going to that one tavern, I don’t know,
[6/6/2026, 4:39:56 PM] debinani
but you guys want to get into this place, you’ve got a clear way in.
you
[6/6/2026, 4:40:08 PM] Michelle
Yeah, we need to find their shipping records.
[6/6/2026, 4:40:10 PM] Watcher
Watcher seems to go into a fugue stare and starts sketching in his notebook quietly…
[6/6/2026, 4:40:30 PM] Veth
we are so sneaky.
[6/6/2026, 4:40:31 PM] debinani
sometimes
in your defense this is the sneakiest party we’ve ever had.
I mean, that’s damning with fainting praise, sure, but
[6/6/2026, 4:40:50 PM] Veth
lol
[6/6/2026, 4:41:08 PM] debinani
yeah, I think the idea was to make them sick.
Okay, I think we should probably wait till next time to try to do this job that way we’re not
[6/6/2026, 4:41:15 PM] Kristian
we’re just putting in like knockout drugs right, not like death drugs?
[6/6/2026, 4:41:20 PM] Watcher
Watcher snaps out of it and shows Cam. We’ve got an avenue
[6/6/2026, 4:41:28 PM] Cam
Nice.
[6/6/2026, 4:41:37 PM] Kristian
so worst case if we poison the whole city nbd lol
[6/6/2026, 4:41:49 PM] Cam
Let’s get in there and see if we can find an office or somewhere they keep their shipping records.
[6/6/2026, 4:41:57 PM] debinani
rushing. So maybe we will just start next time with the let us sneak in and and find shipping
records and or poison the booths. So for future dates, we’ll do XP here in a second.
27th, 27th. We got stuff going on till then.
[6/6/2026, 4:42:24 PM] Veth
That’s where we’ll finally find the mayor.
[6/6/2026, 4:42:39 PM] Michelle
Should be ok
[6/6/2026, 4:42:41 PM] Eidolon
27th is fine for me
[6/6/2026, 4:42:44 PM] Boo
27th works but I might be a touch late.
[6/6/2026, 4:42:48 PM] Jason G
27th works.. does this place sell potions?
[6/6/2026, 4:42:49 PM] debinani
You don’t know it is the it’s a distillery they probably sell this.
Okay, so XP everybody make your case.
I’m giving the crew. I’m going to give two XP for last time and one XP for this time.
[6/6/2026, 4:42:56 PM] Veth
also I deserve nothing, I rolled no higher than 3 all day. :P
[6/6/2026, 4:42:57 PM] Kristian
yeah, will probably be a little sleep coming back from vaca but should be here
[6/6/2026, 4:43:01 PM] Michelle
May just have to bail early if they do anything for oldest stepdaughter’s bday
[6/6/2026, 4:43:20 PM] debinani
Yeah, yeah, watch your definitely XP for that.
Boo definitely XP for that.
[6/6/2026, 4:43:29 PM] Random
figured out some extra details about the statue. resisted the urge to pilfer.
[6/6/2026, 4:43:32 PM] Jason G
You stealthed fine with the group led roll, Veth
[6/6/2026, 4:43:46 PM] Jason G
Watcher was sneaky
[6/6/2026, 4:43:49 PM] Michelle
Does the not-so-useful Survey roll count?
[6/6/2026, 4:43:52 PM] debinani
Hey, you know, you you you still you still let us survey roll. You’re you’re being sneaky and you’re hunting.
That’s good. How about everybody just takes everybody takes one XP and unless you unless you have
a very compelling case for a second one. I’ll just take that.
Okay.
[6/6/2026, 4:43:57 PM] Veth
I imagine that being someone desperately holding my hands down from banging pots together. :P
[6/6/2026, 4:44:01 PM] Kristian
only success on group sway?
[6/6/2026, 4:44:32 PM] debinani
Okay, so everybody gets one XP and we will book for the 27th and I will see you all then.
Yeah
Yeah
[6/6/2026, 4:44:50 PM] Eidolon
