Okay, so last time we were all just dealing with the outcomes of the heist against Aldrich
Ben, you guys took over a lot of the reclaimer circle territory. You recruited Fat Eddie and a small gang to be your heavy.

Investigated the provenance of number 16, Camden Street. You realize that the tunnels around Kilgraves estate are warded and you approached Mr. Osmond Rawl at the
time.
Camden Rydian asked him, hey, do you want to work with us now instead of those guys? And he said sure if you can get a hold of this thing called
[8/22/2026, 2:32:38 PM] Jason G
and by “heist” he means assassination and hostile takeover
[8/22/2026, 2:32:50 PM] debinani
Sigmund Tarley’s the Aria. He didn’t go into a whole lot of detail except for the fact that it was in the blue coat evidence lockup.
And so you have, yeah, it wasn’t a heist, a job thing, a thing assassination, hostile takeover.
And so everybody has taken a bit of a break. Not everybody is fully healed. Not everybody is fully relaxed yet, but it is now time to think about
[8/22/2026, 2:33:28 PM] debinani
what’s next.
We will say that, you know, Cam and the others who are not here are in disposed for various reasons.
They all have been at war with your claimers for a long time. They all have, you know, things they have to take care of now that they’re not looking over their shoulder every street corner.
[8/22/2026, 2:33:41 PM] Jason G
a caper, if you will.. a lark
[8/22/2026, 2:34:05 PM] debinani
January 25th. And what’s his name? Malas Thorn is going to be getting out of prison in
probably about eight days in about a week. And so that’s a problem.
And then like I put in the chat, just to give you a reminder, there’s like kind of three different things and they’re sort of high risk. So I would, I wouldn’t, you know, maybe not try these alone.
[8/22/2026, 2:34:19 PM] Rob
Quick question… I overindulged on my vice last session, right? And should be at 0 stress?
[8/22/2026, 2:34:47 PM] debinani
I would go back to it here. So you know that Lancaster’s black book and the R.A.R. are in the blue coat and evidence lock up.
You know that the carriage house and Camden street will probably require some sort of job at the Dustfall records house of deeds and titles.
And then you’ve got the kill grave thing.
[8/22/2026, 2:35:19 PM] debinani
You overindulged and you should be in zero stress. That’s right.
And you lost your vice provider. You will have to figure out how to get him back or find another den of inequity in which to gamble.
If you’re going to lose your vice purveyor, you may as well go ahead and take the
[8/22/2026, 2:36:03 PM] debinani
case. Well, at least make it pay for itself.
That’s fine. There are plenty of other options besides the three. So, you know, whatever.
Thank you.
[8/22/2026, 2:36:10 PM] Rob
Right. I do recall that. I apparently forgot to reduce my stress after all that.
[8/22/2026, 2:36:34 PM] Rob
Okay… so Deb’s given us 3 options, so the correct thing to do is none of them.
[8/22/2026, 2:36:44 PM] Watcher

Hm. I’ve been thinking about how to deal with Thorne. I suppose your idea works, but it doesn’t seem… uh… painful enough.

That’s right. You want to make him suffer.

yeah I was planting “it wasn’t us we got framed”
[8/22/2026, 3:24:07 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:24:09 PM] Jason G
cool, maybe it gives him less ground to go to
[8/22/2026, 3:24:57 PM] Rob
Okay, so simple plan. We try to nab Thorne in an area where we think he’ll go. If we opt to take him alive to start with then our cohort can help. Most likely place for him to go is the Shivs’ territory.
[8/22/2026, 3:24:57 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:25:47 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:26:22 PM] Rob
Oh, right. I think Crow will go talk with Gabbart and try to figure out how to get access to his game again. Maybe find out what sort of favor Crow could trade for the privilege.
[8/22/2026, 3:26:27 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:26:52 PM] Rob
Well darn it.
[8/22/2026, 3:27:05 PM] debinani
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:27:08 PM] Kristian
maybe I can go put-pocket something into a suspected Shiv to set up a meetup?
[8/22/2026, 3:27:23 PM] Rob
Does he want Crow to collect the money or… ?
[8/22/2026, 3:27:27 PM] Kristian
like a “meet me at place at time for job” note or something
[8/22/2026, 3:27:55 PM] debinani

I need to bleed some stress I suppose, since these DTs aren’t too frequent
[8/22/2026, 3:33:35 PM] Rob
Crow will train. He’s 1 away from ranking up a Prowess skill and we get 2 for Prowess. Would that mean one is lost or does it carry over and leave him with 1 in it?

So do you want that to be a I mean, I think I think if we had some some extra character sitting around for you to jump into that would be kind of a good example of getting lost maybe maybe we can make an entanglement roll and that’s just like trouble you get into by drifting off somewhere.
[8/22/2026, 3:36:48 PM] Debinani
The Reclaimed
Former Reclaimer’s Circle members recruited by the Echoes after destroying the gang. Led by Fat Eddie. Refuses to purposefully kill anyone. “We’re not assassins.”
[8/22/2026, 3:36:50 PM] Jason G
so my vice is a sort of compulsive examination of our usual haunts and streets. I get lost in the details and get off track, or drift somewhere I shouldn’t ?
[8/22/2026, 3:36:55 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:37:21 PM] Jason G

Watcher acquires 5 heat for the gang.
[8/22/2026, 3:37:35 PM] debinani
Okay.
Let’s see.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:37:46 PM] Jason G
sadface
[8/22/2026, 3:38:13 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
And what ends up happening is fat Eddie gets picked up and yeah exactly fat Eddie ends up getting picked up by the blue coats because they are questioning reclaimers to figure out who killed all their vent.
[8/22/2026, 3:38:47 PM] debinani
Somebody make a fortune roll with one die to see what happens to poor fat Eddie.
Or you guys can pay off the blue coats with a coin and just spring him.
[8/22/2026, 3:38:59 PM] Watcher
Watcher goes too far down the rabbit hole
[8/22/2026, 3:39:33 PM] debinani
Okay. Yeah. Sure. Go ahead. Yeah. So yeah. You. Yeah.
I can’t think right now exactly how you managed to get that Eddie arrested but your your vice and your over indulgence in your vice did somehow manage to get fat Eddie arrested.
And so you pay out of your pocket to spring him.
Okay. So that’s that we did training we did a vice and and you got your contact and it is now the first of February where Malastor is getting out of jail.
[8/22/2026, 3:39:56 PM] Jason G
I’ll pay them off, since something I did lead to this?
[8/22/2026, 3:39:56 PM] Rob
I like the option to pay them off. Our dice rolls have either been really good or really bad.
[8/22/2026, 3:40:04 PM] Kristian
or we can just let fat eddie make grilled cheese on the radiator…
[8/22/2026, 3:40:21 PM] debinani
So are you guys.
I don’t know trying to trail him or catch him when he’s leaving iron hook and try to trail him or anything or you’re just going to wait to see if you’re your your contact comes through.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 3:41:07 PM] debinani
Okay. So let’s see we don’t have cams we won’t use hunt.
It seems like a good opportunity for prowl.
So who’s who’s who’s who’s basically all of you going to go like stake out iron hook wait for them to release him and see where he goes.
[8/22/2026, 3:41:24 PM] Rob
Trail him and have the contact as a backup if trailing doesn’t work?
[8/22/2026, 3:41:45 PM] debinani
I’m like prowl related I assume watchers going.
I mean, or you just have watcher do it as damn self.
[8/22/2026, 3:42:19 PM] debinani
I mean, you’re right the way you guys are rolling probably keep watcher from watcher from occurring.
I need a stress.
All right. So watcher you go and stake out iron hook on the day of thorns release go ahead and make a prowl roll.
[8/22/2026, 3:42:26 PM] Rob
Group roll since Watcher needs a Stress?
[8/22/2026, 3:42:32 PM] Jason G
definitely going for any sneaky squirrel stuff
[8/22/2026, 3:42:48 PM] Rob
Oh, fine. That works, too.
[8/22/2026, 3:43:01 PM] debinani
All right. So mid morning on the first of February it is dark because it’s always dark very dim blustery day little kind of snow flurries blowing blown around and a the front gates to iron hook open and a prison garden ceremoniously gives a malice thorn a little bit.
A little bit of a nudge out the front gate and he pulses pulses coat around him.

Pulse’s coat around him and trudge us off into the city.
You don’t have any problem trailing him he doesn’t he actually walks which takes hours.
But he walks from me bring up the map of the city.
[8/22/2026, 3:44:01 PM] Watcher
shadow cloak +effect level? ( if it matters )
[8/22/2026, 3:44:20 PM] debinani
He walks from bearer cleft and and or does low, I guess, and across the the river to Coleridge.
He stops at a street market and gets some hot food.
No, he does that he’s not being invasive at all. He’s walking down the street with the rest of the rest of the recipes running around.
[8/22/2026, 3:44:52 PM] debinani
He goes to Coleridge stops at a street vendor that you guys have actually heard of is very famous for a certain certain bit of grilled lizard in mushroom sandwich.
Get some self a sandwich eats it quite he enjoys it quite a bit.
And marches up Main Street out of Coleridge in a charter hall and goes straight for the mortar and pestle.
[8/22/2026, 3:45:02 PM] Jason G
does he look like he’s trying to be intentionally evasive to catch or watch any tails?
[8/22/2026, 3:45:25 PM] debinani
And so he I’m assuming you don’t really follow him in because that would be really obvious.
So he goes and stops at the mortar and pestle at this point it’s around, I don’t know midday and he goes in.
[8/22/2026, 3:45:56 PM] debinani
If you just continue to stay come out and don’t you guys choose not to do anything else about.
I don’t know 30 minutes later he comes out of the mortar and pestle.
He is visibly agitated when he comes out of the mortar and pestle and he leaves charter hall and heads into crow’s foot.
[8/22/2026, 3:46:27 PM] debinani
And so where he visits a fairly low rent brothel and goes inside and you watch the place for a while.
Yeah, this place doesn’t even have a name it’s basically just a flop house with some working girls out front but yeah he goes in and and he’s in there for.
[8/22/2026, 3:47:12 PM] Rob
At least 3 minutes.
[8/22/2026, 3:47:14 PM] debinani
I will say hours pass some number of hours past.
So start stretching into evening.
And then you’re just going to keep just keep sticking the place out.
[8/22/2026, 3:47:57 PM] Kristian
hours of conversation, minutes of brotheling
[8/22/2026, 3:48:03 PM] debinani
Now go ahead and make a survey roll.
And let’s see.
That’s fine.
So you wait patiently and the rest of you watchers been gone all day.
He basically is okay I’m going to go I’m going to go figure out where thorns go in and and he doesn’t come back.
[8/22/2026, 3:48:24 PM] Jason G
yep, all in.. it’s what Watched does

Thorns the day.
Watcher he’s actually in there for a while and and you kind of like change positions a few times in case the place out and you eventually you eventually actually catch his silhouette in one of the rooms on the table.
And he’s got a lot of the rooms on like the fourth floor of this you know raggedy old tenement and he looks like he’s getting comfortable it this could be this could be like where he lived.
[8/22/2026, 3:49:26 PM] debinani
Or where somebody he knows lives lived maybe but it looks like he’s he’s settling in.
You’ve marked the room such as it is.
If you keep sitting there watching you know there is somebody in there with him of the female persuasion and eventually the light in the room goes out and looks like he’s spending the night.
[8/22/2026, 3:50:05 PM] debinani
You don’t know.
At no point does the light come on and you see a woman silhouette leave light goes off and stays off.
[8/22/2026, 3:50:15 PM] Rob
He has a part-time job there.
[8/22/2026, 3:50:29 PM] Jason G
she stays?
[8/22/2026, 3:50:37 PM] debinani
This joint is some number of blocks not a terrible number of blocks away from where the the shives hold court.
Okay you make it back to takes on foot takes about now 30 maybe 40 minute walk you make it back to the in canadville.
[8/22/2026, 3:51:08 PM] Watcher
Watcher assumes he’s settled in and heads back carefully
[8/22/2026, 3:51:20 PM] debinani
Everybody was starting to wonder if maybe you had failed your role and gotten thorned.
you
[8/22/2026, 3:51:47 PM] Watcher
I tracked Thorne after he got out
[8/22/2026, 3:52:10 PM] Crow
He must’ve had a busy day. What’d you learn?

if he’s been in for what 90 days he’s been in since November. Yeah so he’s been in a while right.
One of you make a one-die-fortune role, please.
I don’t care who whoever gets it first.
[8/22/2026, 3:53:06 PM] Watcher
He didn’t seem particularly careful. He’s shacked up here (points to map).. likely someone he’s intimate with. This is rpetty close to the Shivs turf, so we could infer some intent there perhaps.
[8/22/2026, 3:53:30 PM] Freakshow
Nothing like a bit of intimate after a stint in the clink
[8/22/2026, 3:53:33 PM] debinani
Okay. All right.
I’ll take the one that actually worked five.
So while you are being debriefed by a watcher, he, uh, uh, fat Eddie comes in.
And he’s like, I, I found out, uh, oh, Malice Thorne actually stopped by, uh,
stopped by the mortar and pestle, roughed up old Gabby a little bit.

He’s pretty pissed about, uh, pretty pissed about old Venn.
Uh, Gabby is the, uh, proprietor of the mortar and pestle.
He is a bartender and owner.
[8/22/2026, 3:54:35 PM] Rob
Who is Gabby?
[8/22/2026, 3:54:49 PM] Watcher
Watcher sighs
[8/22/2026, 3:54:52 PM] debinani
Oh, no, no, no, no. This was this afternoon.
Eddie is basically just reporting on what you witnessed from the outside.
I tried to find out more about what, uh, what specifically asked and what specifically Gabby said.
But, uh, I think that’s what I’m trying to do.
I’m trying to do what I’m trying to do.
I’m trying to do what I’m trying to do.
[8/22/2026, 3:55:11 PM] Rob
Okay, I thought it might be something like that.
[8/22/2026, 3:55:13 PM] Watcher
So I’m guessing he found a way out that I wasn’t watching
[8/22/2026, 3:55:23 PM] debinani
I’m trying to do what I’m trying to do.
I’m trying to do what I’m trying to do.
You know, you know, you know, you know, you’ve got a lot of things in common for you.
Yeah.
I’ve got a lot of things in common for you to find out more about the mortar and pestle.

Of course he did.
[8/22/2026, 3:55:55 PM] debinani
Hey, seems to rough up shopkeepers quite a bit.
Starting to get a brand.
[8/22/2026, 3:56:24 PM] Crow
I’ll add it to the list of Thorne’s sins.
[8/22/2026, 3:57:15 PM] debinani
I guess it was kind of near one of his haunts.
There was rumor going around that he had a girl somewhere.
But he’d always beat up anybody who brought it up.
[8/22/2026, 3:57:23 PM] Rob
Crow will ask Eddie about the whorehouse Watcher saw Thorne go to, see if he can think of any connection.
[8/22/2026, 3:58:27 PM] Crow
‘beat up’ seems to be his first and only way of dealing with people.
[8/22/2026, 3:58:31 PM] debinani
Yeah, Mr. Van was always the, Mr. Van was always the thinker.
Malice was the, you know, I do wear the puncher, the kicker,
a little stabber sometimes.
[8/22/2026, 3:59:18 PM] debinani
You
I mean theoretically if he’s still there, you know where he is.
[8/22/2026, 3:59:58 PM] debinani
You could just go get him now in the middle of the night if you want.
That would be probably the territory of the crows.
[8/22/2026, 4:00:05 PM] Rob
All right. So we know where Thorne hangs out. And now we know he might have a girl there, although I don’t know that we want to use her in our plans even if we find out who she is.
[8/22/2026, 4:00:25 PM] Rob
Whose territory is that?
[8/22/2026, 4:00:38 PM] debinani
They are tier two, which is about the same as the glass keys.
They exert influence over a majority of crows foot.
So, you know, kind of a big deal.
But you’re also pretty sure that they don’t give a shit about Malice Thorne.
I mean, so, are you going to piss him off?
[8/22/2026, 4:00:51 PM] Rob
What Tier are they? I want to know how powerful the group we could wind up pissing off is. :P
[8/22/2026, 4:01:10 PM] debinani
Yeah, I mean, I would blow up the building.
Nick’s does have explosives, but she can choose to leave them at home.
[8/22/2026, 4:01:42 PM] debinani
Why don’t we take a break here and you guys can, can think through.
If you want to go and grab him tonight or continue to plan and plot.

Okay. So the idea go and retrieve him from the flop house.
[8/22/2026, 4:20:03 PM] Rob
I’ll vote to go after him. The longer he’s out the more time he has to make his own plans. Not that they seem to extend beyond “beat someone up”, but still…
[8/22/2026, 4:20:03 PM] debinani
Or tenement or whatever it is.
You do it quiet. You want to raid the place. Talk your way in in the middle of the night. That would be odd.
[8/22/2026, 4:20:43 PM] debinani
Okay. He’s already very hit that room is almost almost at the roof. So you want to go in from the top or.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 4:20:55 PM] Rob
Yup. Quiet is preferable. Anyone opposed to any part of that?
[8/22/2026, 4:21:33 PM] debinani
I mean, if there is, you’re still probably going to want to go in from the roof. So you don’t have to do with three or four floors of whatever.
Okay. So going quiet from the roof, sounds familiar, just like last time. I will give you on the engagement roll one die for fortune, one die because you’re hitting the target where he’s weak.
And I’ll give you an extra die because you have essentially an informant in the area and we’ll say that that old.
[8/22/2026, 4:21:39 PM] Rob
Or if we can find a way in via the ghost plane.
[8/22/2026, 4:22:10 PM] debinani
Morty came through and gave you some details. Yes. And what load are you carrying in?
Yep. Yep. Somebody make a 3D fortune roll.
[8/22/2026, 4:22:18 PM] Kristian
stick with what works
[8/22/2026, 4:22:33 PM] Kristian
don’t forget to set load!
[8/22/2026, 4:22:57 PM] Kristian
normal here
[8/22/2026, 4:22:58 PM] Rob
Normal here, too.
[8/22/2026, 4:22:58 PM] debinani
Okay.
All right. So you take the tunnels over to cross foot and take it. Well, you walk over to cross foot. Then you take the tunnels over the tenement.
Find a way out of the roofs from an alley a couple blocks away. Make your way across the roofs. No big deal.
This particular tenement is four stories. The room that Thorn was in is at the top floor and there is a door.
[8/22/2026, 4:23:08 PM] Rob
3d for the Fortune roll?
[8/22/2026, 4:23:16 PM] Crow
Fortune
Success
The result is good. You have standard or full effect.
6 3 4
3d6 = 13 = 13
[8/22/2026, 4:23:32 PM] Kristian
finally
[8/22/2026, 4:23:44 PM] debinani
Essentially just leading to stairs down from the flat roof down down to the fourth floor.
So you get there, you do see that there are a couple little crews of the crows kind of here and there.
So this is definitely cro territory and you make it all the way to the building. No big deal. The door.
[8/22/2026, 4:23:50 PM] Rob
I was due for at least one good roll.
[8/22/2026, 4:24:19 PM] debinani
The door is the door to the off the roof is locked, but you pick it very easily next just did it done.
And you head down the stairs. This building is essentially one big old long hallway. There are doors on either side.
You can kind of tell from watchers previous reconnaissance that like one whole side of the building is like one big old room. It’s just a big room with pallets.
[8/22/2026, 4:24:49 PM] Kristian
everybody’s millin’ bout…Crows Crews!
[8/22/2026, 4:24:57 PM] debinani
And then the other side is still individual segregated rooms. You have a fairly good idea which one is which one Thorn is in.
And so you get down the store opens into a hallway. You look down this long hallway and there is actually a there’s a guy. He’s wearing crows colors.
And you don’t know if he’s you don’t know if he’s a guard or if he just lives here and he’s loitering around. It’s like little after midnight. But definitely definitely a witness from a gang that you don’t want.
[8/22/2026, 4:25:45 PM] debinani
You know, don’t want to tell him on you.
He doesn’t actually leave the hallway. So he’s probably here as as eight presence, you know, if he’s like guarding someone or guarding the place or whatever.
He paces he paces up and down the hall.
[8/22/2026, 4:26:33 PM] debinani
And he’s certainly neutral with the crows. It would take quite a bit.
Probably would be a little extreme.
[8/22/2026, 4:26:42 PM] Rob
I will be quite miffed if we wind up at war again.
[8/22/2026, 4:27:21 PM] Rob
So it’s okay to murder him and put his head on a pike as a warning?
[8/22/2026, 4:27:31 PM] debinani
Okay, I got it going.
A little late poison the beer.
[8/22/2026, 4:27:33 PM] Rob
Okay, no pike. Or murder.
[8/22/2026, 4:27:42 PM] Rob
Is Watcher among us yet?
[8/22/2026, 4:28:04 PM] Kristian
is it too late to poison the beer?
[8/22/2026, 4:28:19 PM] debinani
Yeah.
You can have next blow gun him with a sleeping juju.
[8/22/2026, 4:28:43 PM] Rob
Someone Sway-y could try to bribe him to take a walk.
[8/22/2026, 4:29:06 PM] Rob
I forgot she has that. That would work and cost less money.
[8/22/2026, 4:29:26 PM] Jen
is that the plan?
[8/22/2026, 4:29:31 PM] debinani
Okay, so next gets out her blow gun and loads loads of dirt.
Anybody want to aid?
Not sure how you know take the wind or whatever.
I don’t know, just you know, understand how the breeze is going.
[8/22/2026, 4:29:51 PM] Rob
Unless someone else has an idea?
[8/22/2026, 4:30:07 PM] debinani
Hold the blow holder, holder, holder blow gun to keep it still. I don’t know.
Just wondering if you’re spending any stress to give her a die or not.
Okay, so somebody’s going to.
[8/22/2026, 4:30:20 PM] Rob
Take the wind?
[8/22/2026, 4:30:40 PM] Rob
Ah. Like a spotter for a sniper.
[8/22/2026, 4:30:56 PM] Kristian
could create a distraction maybe but the way we are rolling…
[8/22/2026, 4:30:57 PM] debinani
Okay, so while his back is turned, you come out in the hallway, you take you get away is away from the door that everybody else is hiding behind.
You make a little ruckus and spend a stress to give nix a next a die.
Next, go ahead and roll finesse plus one die with controlled standard.
[8/22/2026, 4:30:58 PM] Rob
How about distract- Yeah, that.
[8/22/2026, 4:31:19 PM] Kristian
go over and start a ruckus on the other side of the big room maybe
[8/22/2026, 4:31:29 PM] Rob
Make it a quiet ruckus.
[8/22/2026, 4:31:31 PM] debinani
Wow, you do get an extra die though. Oh, that was one plus one.
Okay.
Okay, so here’s what happens. It was it was a control to roll.
So, so.
Free show goes out there and goes eeper out or starts making some noise or whatever.
Just generally like stumbles down the hall so the guy is distracted and stops pacing and nix six blow gun out the door blows and it just.
[8/22/2026, 4:31:34 PM] Kristian
fortunately I put on a good disguise before we got here
[8/22/2026, 4:31:41 PM] Rob
Or a quiet riot.
[8/22/2026, 4:31:51 PM] Nyx

the 2 was mine
[8/22/2026, 4:32:12 PM] debinani
Wiz is past the guy behind him and shatters against the wall, but he doesn’t actually notice he’s busy watching free show.
He’s like, I, what are you up to?
People trying to sleep up here, right?
This of course is at freak show.
[8/22/2026, 4:32:24 PM] Rob
Sorry, Jen, that’s my fault. I rolled well on that Fortune roll.
[8/22/2026, 4:32:49 PM] debinani
You can just you’re just in the middle of the hallway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don’t know you know pretty sure you’re not allowed up here. You need to go downstairs with the rest of them.
[8/22/2026, 4:33:09 PM] Freakshow
I’m tryna schleep over here!
[8/22/2026, 4:33:10 PM] Freakshow
shhhhh
[8/22/2026, 4:33:23 PM] Kristian
yeah..
[8/22/2026, 4:33:23 PM] debinani
Go sleep it off.
It would probably be a pretty fantasticals.
A prowl roll to get there and then it would be skirmish. Yeah, or wreck.
I would I would take either.
[8/22/2026, 4:33:29 PM] Freakshow
Freakshow acts drunkenly
[8/22/2026, 4:33:52 PM] Freakshow
Upschtairs?
[8/22/2026, 4:33:55 PM] Rob
What would it be to try to knock the person out from behind?
[8/22/2026, 4:33:59 PM] Freakshow
Freakshow looks at the ceiling
[8/22/2026, 4:34:00 PM] Rob
Smash or Skirmish?
[8/22/2026, 4:34:00 PM] debinani
But sneak in over to him like kind of down this narrow hallway would be a bit of a feat.
I mean, he’s distracted, but.
I mean, kind of.
[8/22/2026, 4:34:37 PM] Rob
I was hoping his back was to us.
[8/22/2026, 4:34:53 PM] debinani
You
[8/22/2026, 4:35:24 PM] debinani
I mean, it would just be a prowl roll and I think it would probably be.
Probably desperate, probably a desperate standard prowl roll.
Because I mean, obviously, if he like turns and sees you sneaking up to him or here’s an oyster something it’s going to be.
[8/22/2026, 4:35:41 PM] Rob
I think the predicted thunderstorm for my area might arrive early. But anyway, what would a ‘fantastical’ Prowl roll entail?
[8/22/2026, 4:36:01 PM] debinani
Yeah.
Not what you want.
Yeah, I mean, he’s distracted, but the die the dice benefit that you’ve gotten from the distraction has already has already been consumed.
And it was a failure and that is now no longer a path.
So essentially you’re sneaking realistically the guys distracted, but you’re sneaking without the benefit of you know free shows distraction.
[8/22/2026, 4:36:26 PM] Rob
Freakshow’s distraction is only good for one more action?
[8/22/2026, 4:36:39 PM] debinani
The guy does actually approach you free show go come on, we need to get downstairs.
Oh, I mean, yeah, I mean, you could look to see if there’s a way like through the walls or anything.
And you’re you’re sneaking through any number of of bedrooms.
[8/22/2026, 4:37:07 PM] Rob
Right, I was just thinking I’d rather try to use Attune to see if there’s a way around him before I go for things that will only give me 1 die.
[8/22/2026, 4:37:12 PM] debinani
Probably like two or three.
For the attune role, yes, sure.
[8/22/2026, 4:37:39 PM] Freakshow
What? You want help downschtairs?
[8/22/2026, 4:37:46 PM] Rob
True, but I’ll give that a try first.
[8/22/2026, 4:37:47 PM] debinani
Okay.
So you you you who do your tune and you look and you see that there’s something like almost four walls between you and where the guy is standing if you wanted to come out behind him.
I mean, you you could do it, but you’re going to make like a series of quite a few attune roles to go through the walls.
[8/22/2026, 4:37:48 PM] Freakshow
Thisch better not be a trick
[8/22/2026, 4:37:58 PM] Rob
Risky Standard?
[8/22/2026, 4:38:03 PM] Crow

[8/22/2026, 4:38:24 PM] debinani
It’s going to be pretty and you’re going to be in rooms with like a bunch of sleeping palettes and stuff in it looks like looks like there’s a you know quite a few people, you know, sleeping on the floors in this place.
No, no, no, Thorn was seemingly in a room with just him, but this is a this is a place for gangs and whoever else to just find a place to flock.
[8/22/2026, 4:39:03 PM] debinani
So Frick show he’s like coming up to grab your arm and and not so gently escort you off the floor.
So I will remind you that you do have a dose of track. Yeah, there we go.
[8/22/2026, 4:39:06 PM] Rob
Ah, so not one person per room.
[8/22/2026, 4:39:47 PM] debinani
Look at you. Yeah, no, it can be it’s it can be puffed in somebody’s face and they’ll they’ll go on a trip.
Okay, so he’s really, really close to you go ahead and make a finesse roll.
[8/22/2026, 4:39:51 PM] Rob
I’m thinking about what odds are better. 4 3d rolls or 1 1d roll.
[8/22/2026, 4:39:57 PM] Freakshow
Freakshow starts coughing/wretching
[8/22/2026, 4:40:10 PM] Kristian
is “trance powder” an inhalant, or a roofie?
[8/22/2026, 4:40:28 PM] Kristian
You pickin’ up what I am puttin’ down… haha
[8/22/2026, 4:40:30 PM] debinani
Okay, all right, so while so nicks sticks blow gun at the door shoots just like damn just the the angle isn’t there and the the not sure she get the blog and reload it in time.
Crow thinks really hard about walking through a series of a five walls to clock this guy with the back of the head and he walks up to to freak show takes free shows arm and and he just comes up with a handful of
[8/22/2026, 4:40:32 PM] Rob
You’re going to snort it?
[8/22/2026, 4:40:49 PM] Kristian
yeah so when gets to hoisting me , blast him in the kisser

purple sparkly powder and like literally just shows it in the guy’s face.
So he guys guy cook up what was that then and then he kind of he kind of takes a few steps back and and and and looks at the ceiling and goes, oh wow.
However, you got a bit of a dose yourself. So, so you are, let’s just call it a little tripped out a little trippy and we will reduce the effect on on your roles for the for the rest of the rest of the job.
[8/22/2026, 4:41:03 PM] Freakshow
Freakshow Poof
[8/22/2026, 4:41:51 PM] Freakshow
now whosch schleepy…
[8/22/2026, 4:41:54 PM] debinani
So he stumbles back and it sneezes purple glitter dust and it kind of looks up the ceiling goes, oh look at that and he just sort of sits down with his back against the wall on the floor and and just looks at it looks like a water stain on the ceiling and he’s staring at it acutely.
Freak show you are not as zonked out as this guy is, but you’re, you know, there are purple elephants here.
[8/22/2026, 4:42:35 PM] debinani
That’s exactly right. Okay, so guard has been dosed for some transpatter.
Lies open soldier.
You’ve got next who has quite a few things to tranquilize them with you.
[8/22/2026, 4:42:59 PM] Kristian
I’m a professional!
[8/22/2026, 4:43:15 PM] Kristian
for the rest of the session, everyone appears to be a muppet
[8/22/2026, 4:43:19 PM] debinani
Okay, so you make your way past the stoned guard down to the room that thorn is in.
You go to twist the door knob and it is locked.
[8/22/2026, 4:43:31 PM] Rob
Make our way to Thorne’s room. We should have something to tranquilize him with us.
[8/22/2026, 4:43:31 PM] Watcher
oh no
[8/22/2026, 4:43:36 PM] Watcher
not again
[8/22/2026, 4:43:55 PM] debinani
So next has fine tinkering tools you pull those and you would get your finesse role plus one.
Risky great.
[8/22/2026, 4:44:02 PM] Crow
Nice job, Freakshow.
[8/22/2026, 4:44:12 PM] Crow
Crow grumbles
[8/22/2026, 4:44:18 PM] Crow
Nyx?
[8/22/2026, 4:44:42 PM] debinani
Okay, you guys come up the door next pulls out our tinkering tools click click click click almost silently.
Jimmy’s the lock turns the door knob and quietly opens the door.
So dark room, gentle snoring of at least two people or of about two people bed is across the room.
[8/22/2026, 4:45:01 PM] Nyx

[8/22/2026, 4:46:00 PM] debinani
I mean, she’s got sort of the same knockout gas as the same knockout gas as you used at the.
So you can do that or you could sneak across and jaddom she’s got syringes.
[8/22/2026, 4:46:16 PM] Rob
Can someone silently make their way across to the two people and tranquilize them both? We only want to take one but best not to have someone be a witness.
[8/22/2026, 4:46:45 PM] Jason G
I probably could
[8/22/2026, 4:46:50 PM] debinani
So you essentially just chuck the knockout gas in there and close the door.
I mean, you don’t have gas masks this time.
Unless you know somebody wants to do a flashback.
You could this could have been the plan all along.
So since it’s in your M.O. I will only make one of you spend one stress and you will all have gas masks.
[8/22/2026, 4:46:55 PM] Nyx
Nyx rummages for a vial of knockout gas
[8/22/2026, 4:46:59 PM] Rob
I think the knockout gas idea is brilliant!
[8/22/2026, 4:47:05 PM] Nyx
Nyx raises it and waves it around
[8/22/2026, 4:47:06 PM] Crow
Crow nods
[8/22/2026, 4:47:17 PM] Nyx
Nyx motions everyone to stand back
[8/22/2026, 4:47:21 PM] Rob
Or do we?
[8/22/2026, 4:47:26 PM] debinani
Okay, so you know two hours ago when you were planning this job, Crow actually looks up and goes, hey, why don’t we just do the same place we did on.
Crow’s house, let’s or a vence house, let’s take the gas mask.
So you’ve all got gas masks with you.
So Nick takes the mile, trucks it in the room, closes the door.
You hear that’s sound as whatever agent inside it starts burning and starts filling the room with sleepy smoke.
[8/22/2026, 4:47:41 PM] Kristian
Freakshow already having flashbacks
[8/22/2026, 4:47:43 PM] Rob
Sure. I’ll take the stress.
[8/22/2026, 4:48:04 PM] debinani
You wait, I know about a minute nobody else comes into the hall.
The dude at the end of the hall is just looking at the water stain.
You know, freak show is is you know, licking the inside of the lenses of his gas mask because he thinks they taste like blue.
And I assume you go in.
[8/22/2026, 4:48:41 PM] debinani
Okay, you go in the room. It is dark. You guys pull it your little your little bioluminescent algae lamps and fills the room with a green glow.
There is Malastorn, the room just smells like sweat and booze and sex.
Malastorn is you know, conked out on the bed.
Looks like he was asleep to begin with and is still asleep.
There is a Denny’s waitress next door.
[8/22/2026, 4:48:58 PM] Rob
We do.
[8/22/2026, 4:49:12 PM] debinani
Next one just again naked passed out on the bed.
You guys kind of walk into the room and neither one of them stir so they’re obviously they’re obviously hit pretty good with the gas.
That stuff lasts maybe about I mean they were naturally asleep, but that that stuff that stuff lasts probably 20 or 30 minutes naturally.
Okay.
[8/22/2026, 4:49:57 PM] Jason G
Denny’s or Waffle House? let’s be precise
[8/22/2026, 4:50:10 PM] debinani
Fair. Okay. So you you time up.
Yeah, that will that will lead to the that will lead to the bells.
So you you time up and gag him and let’s make a probably want to do this as a group role.
[8/22/2026, 4:50:19 PM] Rob
We’ll quickly bind and gag Thorne, then exit with him the way we came in.
[8/22/2026, 4:50:45 PM] Kristian
she looks like she makes great cocoa.
[8/22/2026, 4:50:47 PM] Rob
Alternatively, if we don’t want to drag him with us then we can smother him here, but that leads to the Gong Show showing up.
[8/22/2026, 4:50:48 PM] debinani
So I’m going to do a group prowl role to lug this big naked unconscious tied up dude out of the building and onto the roof.
So everybody role prowl and I assume that watcher is leading the role.
[8/22/2026, 4:51:20 PM] debinani
We’ll just call it we’ll just call it risky standard.
We’re missing free show. No, you got it. Okay, it’s all for okay. Okay.
All right, well, you succeed and only one failure, but you did get a failure so watch your takes one stress.
[8/22/2026, 4:51:34 PM] Rob
I sure hope he is.
[8/22/2026, 4:51:37 PM] Kristian
can we flashback that we brought some straps, rope, etc to help hoist him?

And so you you get out onto the roof and you get over to the place that you get over to the place that you had gotten on to the roofs from and between all of your burglary gear, you managed to like rig something up to lower him down to the alley.
You guys go down you get into the tunnels and you make a clean escape.
[8/22/2026, 4:52:25 PM] Jason G
“you can do it!”
[8/22/2026, 4:52:34 PM] debinani
Where are you taking him?
Trying to get you guys just across an alley without stepping on a freaking glass bottle is killing me.
[8/22/2026, 4:53:14 PM] debinani
I mean, you guys have quite a bit of turf, but you don’t really you don’t don’t exactly have any like true safety safes, right?
You could take him to 16 Camden, but that’s not really yours yet.
You could take him all the hell the way over to six towers and take him to the carriage house. You could do that.
You could just find a dark corner of the sewers and take him there. I mean, it’s you know, you don’t really have a place that truly secure place to you know, interrogate somebody yet.
[8/22/2026, 4:53:17 PM] Jason G
seven months down the road, Watcher realizes that his greatest source of stress in life has been his crewmates…
[8/22/2026, 4:53:22 PM] Rob
Not our HQ, so… do we have an alternate place?
[8/22/2026, 4:53:52 PM] debinani
Again, you could go to the carriage house. You the only thing you do is you run the risk of you run the risk of the dimmer sisters being met at you that you were using it without filling your side of the bargain.
A crow’sy and goats might eat people sure.
Nope, they’ll probably eat anything.
And the carriage house has the advantage of remember if people die there, the spirit bells don’t ring.
[8/22/2026, 4:54:03 PM] Jason G
anyone know a pig farm?
[8/22/2026, 4:54:03 PM] Kristian
we have any sly friends who could help?
[8/22/2026, 4:54:23 PM] Jason G
will goats eat people?
[8/22/2026, 4:54:35 PM] debinani

So, what you end up doing is you end up just like stuffing him into a large like wrapping him in a large blanket and just hailing a cart and.
Okay, no, you don’t have to take a stress for that that’s fine. You can have you can have the gang help you essentially wrap him up and load him into a cart and and and take him to the carriage house.
So, the rest of it goes without any mishaps. You get him all the way to the carriage house. You get into the carriage house. And now you have a Malastor and Harold prisoner in a place that the spirit wardens can’t see. So that’s fun.

12th is fine for me. Question, how do you “spend” the Special Ability bar when full? Just spend it or do you need an advancement?
