[9/12/2026, 2:32:48 PM] debinani
Okay, so, um, while last time’s adventures were going on, Cam and Idleon and Boo were
doing what?
You guys can’t afford horses.
[9/12/2026, 2:32:52 PM] Random
B-
[9/12/2026, 2:32:57 PM] Veth
wow that was a lot of rolls for just one six
[9/12/2026, 2:33:20 PM] Veth
Watching the horses?
[9/12/2026, 2:33:25 PM] debinani
Yeah, two down times I figure, uh, I figure you all probably had some stress to work off.
And Boo’s actually still a little hurt.
[9/12/2026, 2:33:35 PM] Rob
Do horses even exist?
[9/12/2026, 2:33:36 PM] Michelle
Oh man, don’t ask that! I’m still catching up on what happened. lol
[9/12/2026, 2:33:42 PM] Veth
No I think I still need to do vice stuff.
[9/12/2026, 2:33:47 PM] Veth
I roll ones for relaxing
[9/12/2026, 2:33:50 PM] Random
you said two downtimes?
[9/12/2026, 2:34:49 PM] debinani
Yeah, Idleon, you want to do a, you want to do an indulge-bice roll, at least one.
Uh, you get, no, no, you get two down time actions.
Uh, just, uh, so if you do the dice roll or you can click on, uh, indulge-bice, and then pick the appropriate die.
[9/12/2026, 2:35:17 PM] Veth
Yeah but I forget how. :P
[9/12/2026, 2:35:19 PM] Random
full down times? 2 actions each for 4 things?
[9/12/2026, 2:35:21 PM] debinani
I think you just, for you, you’ll roll one die.
And, uh, that’s how many stress you clear.
God.
Um, okay.
So, uh, you are going to clear your stress, uh, but, um, you can, um, you must, uh, choose one of those, uh, choose one of those outcomes.
[9/12/2026, 2:35:46 PM] Eidolon
Vice
Failure
You overindulge. Clear 0 stress and choose one of the following consequences: Attract Trouble. Select or roll an additional entanglement. Brag about your exploits. +2 Heat Lost. Your character vanishes for a few weeks. Play a different character until this one returns from their bender. When your character returns, they’ve also healed any harm they had. Tapped. Your current purveyor cuts you off. Find a new source for your vice.

ah! that was what I was making sure of.
[9/12/2026, 2:35:58 PM] debinani
I will actually accept lost, and you’ll lose your other downtime roll.
Okay. So you, uh, you go and overdo it.
Uh, your vice is luxury.
I don’t know how you overdo it, but you were out there overdoing it.
[9/12/2026, 2:36:18 PM] Veth
Sounds good
[9/12/2026, 2:36:29 PM] debinani
Okay. So you are going to prepare.
Actually, let’s do the healing roll first, which is what?
Recover.
Get treatment.
We don’t have to do this. We’ll not often. Okay.
Your healer rolls, tinker, um, or the quality of the tea and you market in a more seconds.
[9/12/2026, 2:36:33 PM] Random
so, healing, yes. and do a shadow self ritual.
[9/12/2026, 2:36:40 PM] Veth
I left a cigar in an intern or something.
[9/12/2026, 2:37:02 PM] debinani
Okay. So, uh, actually, uh, um, uh, next we’ll roll this.
Excellent. You, uh, heal three segments. So, uh, you’re not quite quit of your headache yet, but you were very, very close.

Okay. Got it.
Done.
Okay. And then you are going to prepare the ritual.
[9/12/2026, 2:38:13 PM] Random
you will need to update my healing clock
[9/12/2026, 2:38:31 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
[9/12/2026, 2:38:42 PM] Michelle
Deb, can you put up the map?
[9/12/2026, 2:39:14 PM] debinani
Okay. A few hours, several times. Okay. And, um,
I’m just going to do this.
Is that how we’re doing it? We’re doing. We’re just, we’re just giving you stress during downtime.
I see. Yeah. When you perform a mission, it’ll take a lot of stress to sell for the ritual questions. Okay. Okay. Wow.
[9/12/2026, 2:39:21 PM] Boo
perform the ritual. creaate shadow self. A few hours, and several blocks away. 5 stress to create for later use
[9/12/2026, 2:39:50 PM] debinani
Okay. So that’s done. Um, and that leaves camp.
Yeah. Yeah. What do you want to do with your downtime actions?
[9/12/2026, 2:39:52 PM] Boo
yes.
[9/12/2026, 2:40:24 PM] Michelle
Doing downtime?
[9/12/2026, 2:40:32 PM] Random
I was stress free so it was a good time to mkae a new shadow. :P
[9/12/2026, 2:40:48 PM] debinani
Yeah.
Okay.
[9/12/2026, 2:41:23 PM] debinani
I guess you don’t have that much stress.
Okay.
[9/12/2026, 2:42:18 PM] debinani
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, you could, um, you could acquire an asset for the, you know, blueprints on file for his manner. You could do that.
[9/12/2026, 2:42:40 PM] Cam
I’d like to see about gathering more info on Killgrave’s place, but I don’t see how to put that into Acquire Asset yet. Probably just Train for now.
[9/12/2026, 2:42:55 PM] debinani
You could, um, what else could you do?
You could go acquire asset and, you know, get a hold of his family history or something.
A couple of things.
Okay.
[9/12/2026, 2:43:55 PM] debinani
Okay.
Oh, analyze the wards. Oh, analyze the wards for his, at his manner in the sewer.
Okay.
[9/12/2026, 2:44:10 PM] Michelle
How about acquiring the service of someone who can analyze those damn wards?
[9/12/2026, 2:44:27 PM] debinani
Okay. Um, sure. You could do that. Um, I will say that for, to hire a whisper, good enough to go pick those things apart or analyze them.
That would need to be a, uh, probably a tear to your, or, let me, let me put it this way.
You’re, or, or, let me, let me put it this way. You’re going to want at least a tear to, um, uh, whisper to help with that, uh, because his wards are pretty hardcore.
[9/12/2026, 2:44:34 PM] Michelle
yeah
[9/12/2026, 2:45:03 PM] debinani
Uh, so basically you would do an acquire asset role. It would be, um, um, one die. And I’ll give you a second die because you guys have quell in and a number of other spooky people who could help you.
Um, and you’re going to want to success. And then you can raise the result, um, by, um, I believe it is one coin per, one coin per raise.
And you will have the service of, of, uh, some guy for, uh, the duration of one score.
[9/12/2026, 2:45:50 PM] debinani
Uh, yeah, yeah, you don’t have to pre, you don’t have to pre pay for extra.
Okay. Um, so, uh, yeah, so that would, that is essentially a tear one.
Um, let’s see here, how’d you get three dice?
That matter, whatever. Um, let’s see here.
[9/12/2026, 2:45:51 PM] Michelle
Roll first, then the coin?
[9/12/2026, 2:46:06 PM] Cam
Acquire Asset
Partial Success
Mixed result. You gain an asset of Tier 1 quality.
To raise the result beyond critical, you may spend 2 coin per +1 Tier bonus.
2 4 3
3d6 = 9 = 9
[9/12/2026, 2:46:23 PM] debinani
Um,
they said they just say spending coin to raise the result of the critical, but you can spend coin to raise the result is roll beyond critical. I don’t want that.
Uh, I think the rule is you can spend coin to, to, to get it up.
[9/12/2026, 2:46:27 PM] Michelle
no idea
[9/12/2026, 2:46:59 PM] debinani
So if you want to spend one coin, that will be a tier two whisper, uh, you could spend two coin or three coin would get you a tier three whisper.
I have, no, critical. Two coin would get you a tier three whisper.
[9/12/2026, 2:47:39 PM] Michelle
Let’s do the 2 then. Make it a Tier 3.
[9/12/2026, 2:47:41 PM] debinani
Okay. Um, and then if you’re going to train, um, get one XP for inside a resolve or two XP for prowess.
Okay. So you acquire the services of a fellow by the name of he just goes by, um, Caleb, um, you, he, you find him in silk sure and he is pretty well known in most circles.
[9/12/2026, 2:48:22 PM] Michelle
ok
[9/12/2026, 2:48:32 PM] debinani
Um, uh, uh, creepy as hell, you know, he, he, you know, you sort of pale, got, uh, looks a lot younger than he probably is, um, and you acquire his services for the purposes of breaking into kill graves.
So, um, all right. So that stuff happens. So while all the zaning is has been going on, you guys have been, you know, taking care of your vices and whatnot.
[9/12/2026, 2:49:12 PM] debinani
And then you come back and, um, you find out that nix and freak show and crow and watcher.
Yes, they, uh, followed his ass after he got out of prison, uh, found him in a, um, a brothel in crow’s foot, gas the place, tight him up and currently has him stashed in the carriage house.
[9/12/2026, 2:49:29 PM] Michelle
And Cam comes home to find out we’re holding Thorne. lol
[9/12/2026, 2:49:34 PM] Rob
It’s not our fault!
[9/12/2026, 2:49:45 PM] debinani
Um, um, so there you go.
Um, so that’s thorn. And then, uh, just to give you guys a reminder, there’s a couple things going on. One, um, you have a artifact that you’re supposed to swap out with an artifact at Lord Killgrave’s matter in Brightstone.
Um, uh, that’s the very nice manner that you try to get close to in the tunnels and realized it was even warded down below.
[9/12/2026, 2:50:04 PM] Eidolon
Freaking hobos
[9/12/2026, 2:50:18 PM] debinani
Uh, and then to acquire the services of, um, uh, oh, that fellow at the meridian.
Find it, Oswin, uh, to the fellow meridian, Osman, you need to get a whatever, uh, it is called the aria by a mr. Sigmund Tully and it is in the long term storage lockup at the blue coat.
[9/12/2026, 2:50:40 PM] Michelle
Oswin
[9/12/2026, 2:50:50 PM] debinani
Um, headquarters in Charter Hall, uh, which also happens to be the place that, uh, Lancaster’s little black book is stashed at.
So you’ve got Kilgrave’s manner, you’ve got, um, uh, blue coat essentially blue coat headquarters and, um, you’ve got Malastorn locked up in the carriage house.
So you come home and everybody’s like, hey boss, guess what we did? Well, you were off in silk shore trying to hunt down this Caleb guy.
[9/12/2026, 2:51:29 PM] Rob
And, of course, Des is not here when we have potential sneaky things to do.

[9/12/2026, 2:51:51 PM] Cam
Cam sits down heavily and rubs the bridge of her nose
[9/12/2026, 2:52:04 PM] Cam
You put Thorne… in the carriage house?
[9/12/2026, 2:52:06 PM] Veth
Damnit mimsy!
[9/12/2026, 2:52:11 PM] Crow
Crow shrugs
[9/12/2026, 2:52:40 PM] Crow
Seemed like a good place. No bells if I gut him, either.
[9/12/2026, 2:52:49 PM] debinani
I see me guys are having like the reclaimed watch him right so that, you know, he’s not just there alone.
Yeah, they actually, um, you know, they, they actually had no problem at all. Um, apparently Thorn wasn’t, uh, wasn’t well, uh, well loved even inside the, uh, even inside the gang.
[9/12/2026, 2:53:05 PM] Cam
I’m actually a bit curious why you haven’t done that yet.
[9/12/2026, 2:53:13 PM] Rob
That is a safe assumption.
[9/12/2026, 2:53:18 PM] Michelle
lol. At least someone on guard, yeah
[9/12/2026, 2:53:22 PM] Kristian
everyone loves putting the screws to their old boss
[9/12/2026, 2:53:28 PM] Boo
and probably easier to bottle him up if you do that.
[9/12/2026, 2:53:30 PM] Michelle
Hopefully he’s hog tied too :P
[9/12/2026, 2:53:49 PM] debinani
You
You
[9/12/2026, 2:54:34 PM] Crow
The general consensus was that it’s your call on what to do with him in the immediate future.
[9/12/2026, 2:54:45 PM] Rob
More or less… :P
[9/12/2026, 2:54:49 PM] debinani

[9/12/2026, 2:54:50 PM] Cam
Cam shrugs
[9/12/2026, 2:55:12 PM] Cam
Basically what you’re thinking. He’s too dangerous to keep alive, and he owes us for too much.
[9/12/2026, 2:55:21 PM] Cam
Kill him and bottle him if you can.
[9/12/2026, 2:55:30 PM] Cam
We can’t be hanging around that place till we get this job done.

[9/12/2026, 2:56:03 PM] Crow
Crow gives a nasty grin
[9/12/2026, 2:56:09 PM] Crow
I’ll go take care of that right now.
[9/12/2026, 2:56:23 PM] Cam
Take Freakshow for backup.
[9/12/2026, 2:56:32 PM] Michelle
Cam’s pissed at him for a lot of things too
[9/12/2026, 2:56:36 PM] Nyx
Bottle him?
[9/12/2026, 2:56:39 PM] Crow
Crow nods
[9/12/2026, 2:56:40 PM] Veth
He was a mayor in a previous life.
[9/12/2026, 2:56:41 PM] Nyx
Nyx contemplates
[9/12/2026, 2:56:42 PM] debinani
Couple of days it takes for his ghost to break free and try to capture his ghost?
Is
This is going down.
Yeah, it usually takes a day or two.
[9/12/2026, 2:56:47 PM] Nyx
I like that.
[9/12/2026, 2:57:01 PM] Crow
His ghost, Nyx. You want to claim some parts before we dispose of the body?
[9/12/2026, 2:57:17 PM] Michelle
As fast as it can happen.
[9/12/2026, 2:57:28 PM] Cam
Just get it done and get our people out of there.
[9/12/2026, 2:57:32 PM] Nyx
Yes. I can disect him.
[9/12/2026, 2:57:42 PM] debinani
Uh, it’s at the location. It frees itself from the body.
I mean, theoretically, you’re not even killing him in glass geek territory. You’re killing him in dimmer sisters territory.
[9/12/2026, 2:57:47 PM] Rob
Does the ghost appear at the site of death or at the location of the body?
[9/12/2026, 2:57:48 PM] Nyx
Unless you want a list?
[9/12/2026, 2:58:09 PM] Crow
Uh, no, that’s fine. We’ll bring you the whole thing.
[9/12/2026, 2:58:11 PM] Boo
So… put him in a corner and check periodically for a spook and bottle it when it shows,
[9/12/2026, 2:58:13 PM] Freakshow
Locket gonna be good with this, you think?
[9/12/2026, 2:58:32 PM] Cam
We’re not going to tell Locket unless he asks. I’ll handle that.
[9/12/2026, 2:58:35 PM] Freakshow
Leaving a trail of bodies doesn’t seem to be high on his list of favorite passtimes…
[9/12/2026, 2:58:42 PM] debinani
You
You
[9/12/2026, 2:59:02 PM] Cam
Unless we can chuck his ass over the wall somewhere, I’m not keeping him alive.
[9/12/2026, 2:59:16 PM] Boo
No bell, no body. Locke shouldn’t care.
[9/12/2026, 2:59:40 PM] Nyx
Eye balls, phalanges—all 20, hair, heart, vertebrae, teeth, aorta…wait what?

So I think I, I think I sensed a, uh, uh, cruise intention which was to go
And then you’re going to go to the carriage house and you’re going to go to the carriage house and you’re going to kill him in the carriage house.
[9/12/2026, 2:59:54 PM] Nyx
One should not waste a perfectly fine body.
[9/12/2026, 3:00:17 PM] Nyx
It’s like killing the cow without harvesting the steak.
[9/12/2026, 3:00:17 PM] debinani
Then bring the body back to the hideout because then you won’t be hanging out at the carriage house.
And the next can do whatever she wants to the body while you guys are monitoring it for it goes to break free and catch it in your own time.
Uh, no.
Uh, as far as you guys know, something die in in the, uh, in that carriage house does not trigger the, uh, the, the bells.
Uh, the, uh, the bells.
[9/12/2026, 3:00:22 PM] Rob
Right.
[9/12/2026, 3:00:33 PM] Michelle
Will that trigger alarms?
[9/12/2026, 3:00:38 PM] Freakshow
That made me a little hungry, does that reflect poorly on me?
[9/12/2026, 3:00:42 PM] Boo
dangly bits?
[9/12/2026, 3:00:44 PM] Crow
No more than anything else does.
[9/12/2026, 3:00:55 PM] Cam
If you bring the corpse here, are you sure you can handle his ghost when it’s time?
[9/12/2026, 3:01:07 PM] Nyx
Nyx smiles to herself
[9/12/2026, 3:01:08 PM] debinani
Uh, the, the, the ghost will, the ghost will appear the ghost will set the ghost will separate itself from the body.
So wherever the body is, that’s where the ghost will manifest.
In a dare to.
Let’s ask that question.
[9/12/2026, 3:01:17 PM] Rob
The ghost should appear at the Carriage House, unless I completely misunderstood Deb.
[9/12/2026, 3:01:30 PM] Boo
We can handle the ghost.
[9/12/2026, 3:01:46 PM] Rob
Ah, sorry, I thought you said it separates at the time of death and doesn’t appear until later. Bleh.
[9/12/2026, 3:01:48 PM] Michelle
Sorry, understood we killed him at the Carriage house, then brought the body here
[9/12/2026, 3:01:57 PM] Michelle
ah
[9/12/2026, 3:02:00 PM] debinani
Well, at least you’re assuming so based upon all the words and the fact that Lancaster’s body was never found.
Oh, I’m screenshotting that one.
You
[9/12/2026, 3:02:07 PM] Crow
I’m sure we can handle it. What could go wrong?
[9/12/2026, 3:02:11 PM] Random
it’s just that death it self will happen without bells tolling.
[9/12/2026, 3:02:22 PM] Cam
Cam eyes Crow darkly
[9/12/2026, 3:02:25 PM] Crow
Crow smiles innocently
[9/12/2026, 3:02:42 PM] Veth
NOT EVEN GOD CAN STOP US NOW!
[9/12/2026, 3:02:42 PM] Random
well it’s one way to find out.
[9/12/2026, 3:02:44 PM] Freakshow
Fuck it, what’s a little more murder.
[9/12/2026, 3:02:49 PM] Cam
Just remember that you’re the first ones he’s going to go after if he gets loose.
[9/12/2026, 3:03:00 PM] Cam
Cam looks at Freakshow
[9/12/2026, 3:03:00 PM] debinani
You
You
[9/12/2026, 3:03:25 PM] Crow
Yeah, he’s the sort that’s a pain in my ass alive or dead.
[9/12/2026, 3:03:26 PM] Cam
This is a special case. But you have a point - and so did Locket. We need to pare back on this. After.
[9/12/2026, 3:03:30 PM] Random
takes 3 steps away from Veth.
[9/12/2026, 3:03:39 PM] debinani
You’re going to head over to the carriage house, probably hire a cart
since you’re intending to bring the body back.
How are you?
They’ll kill and self-defense. They’re just not assassins.
So she headed the carriage house.
How are you going to kill them?
Figure out make you make you be explicit.
[9/12/2026, 3:03:59 PM] Rob
“Bring out yer dead!”
[9/12/2026, 3:04:08 PM] Random
our hirlings won’t kill, but will htey move bodies?
[9/12/2026, 3:04:19 PM] Veth
We could weekend and Bernie’s him after the kill.
[9/12/2026, 3:04:24 PM] Veth
er, at.
[9/12/2026, 3:04:29 PM] debinani
Okay.
So you go to the carriage house, you look at Eddie and go excuse me for a minute.
[9/12/2026, 3:04:36 PM] Kristian
can we construct a rudimentary lathe?
[9/12/2026, 3:04:41 PM] Rob
Alas, Crow will restrain himself and settle for strangling him. No blood to clean up that way and it’s about as quick as possible.
[9/12/2026, 3:05:00 PM] debinani
The guards go outside and you just go out his ass.
Okay.
So much for Malice Thorne.
You’re going to have the you’re going to have you’re going to have the gang bring the body back to headquarters when it’s safe and dark.
Okay.
[9/12/2026, 3:05:10 PM] Kristian
..are there exercise bands in the carriage house?
[9/12/2026, 3:05:15 PM] Rob
Yup.
[9/12/2026, 3:05:22 PM] Boo
Well, Nyx wants the heart, so stabbing him htere is off the table.
[9/12/2026, 3:05:31 PM] debinani
So you take a little trip across town, strangle the dude and come back.
Oh, sure.
If you’d left him alive, I would have frickin he would have built up a new gang.
I’d possibly be around less.
You guys still have a couple of really notable devil’s bargains coming at you too that I haven’t forgotten about.
Okay.
So you will get the body back to the hideout soon.
[9/12/2026, 3:05:38 PM] Rob
I’m curious, but did you have plans for him if we left him alive?
[9/12/2026, 3:06:04 PM] debinani
Let’s say it’s probably it’s right now it’s the it’s February 2nd.
You know, they’ve been there for around 7 years.
Well, you know, they’ve been there after the show.
They’ve been there for about a minute, and they’ve been there for about a minute.
Um, during the day and they’ll bring it back.
They’ll bring back tonight when they can do it surreptitiously.
Okay.
So Malice Thorne’s dead.
What’s next?
[9/12/2026, 3:06:23 PM] Rob
Groundhog Day! We can kill him over and over!
[9/12/2026, 3:06:37 PM] debinani
What would you like Caleb to be doing?
I guess it sounds like because you hired Caleb,
you want to prioritize Kilgraves Manor, right?
Get that out of the way before breaking into the police station.
Okay, yeah, and I’m also going to call the carriage house turf too.
[9/12/2026, 3:07:01 PM] Michelle
Yes
[9/12/2026, 3:07:19 PM] Kristian
yeah police caper sounds like a post-break event lol
[9/12/2026, 3:07:26 PM] Kristian
for maximum cliffhanger
[9/12/2026, 3:07:34 PM] Michelle
That carriage house is really useful. And if we pull this job off, that ought to be a good bit of rep.
[9/12/2026, 3:07:35 PM] debinani
So yeah, okay, so you all are essentially taking care of business,
cussing and discussing, doing whatever.
You’re all in the hideout doing whatever it is you do.
And Mr. Sash speaks in all of your heads.
She hasn’t spoken to you guys in so long.
I mean, it’s been months, right?
[9/12/2026, 3:07:45 PM] Random
I need to afk for a couple of moments. back quickly
[9/12/2026, 3:08:06 PM] debinani
It’s almost everybody kind of jolts a little bit.
But anyway, she’s like, I may know something about this Kilgrave fellow.
Well, certainly to Miss Nyx.
[9/12/2026, 3:08:51 PM] Freakshow
…something useful?
[9/12/2026, 3:09:02 PM] debinani
Well, Baylon Kilgrave, the current Lord Kilgrave,
the fancies himself a bit of a spark rate.
However, he is middling at best.
[9/12/2026, 3:09:09 PM] Cam
Cam glances at Nyx
[9/12/2026, 3:09:23 PM] Cam
We’d appreciate any help you can offer.
[9/12/2026, 3:09:27 PM] Nyx
Can you hear that?
[9/12/2026, 3:09:36 PM] debinani
His grandfather, however, was quite brilliant.
Sorry, I’m taking notes as I randomly make shit up.
Stefan Kilgrave was a spark right.
That is Tinker’s inventors.
[9/12/2026, 3:10:03 PM] Michelle
He’s a what?
[9/12/2026, 3:10:08 PM] debinani
Basically the, I’d say the mad scientist of the world, Nyx is a, not a spark right.
She’s more of a tinker on the biology side.
Their spark rights are clockwork and ectoplasm and that sort of stuff.
Anyway, Stefan Kilgrave, however, was quite brilliant.
[9/12/2026, 3:10:41 PM] Nyx
Nyx looks excited
[9/12/2026, 3:10:43 PM] Michelle
Ok. Didn’t quite catch the term the first pass.
[9/12/2026, 3:10:44 PM] debinani
And one of the inventions that he left behind for his progeny is hand, quite literally
a clockwork hand, brilliant piece of machinery by any measure.
However, this particular hand, our dear Lord Kilgrave used as a artificial limb after
he lost his, actually I take it back.
[9/12/2026, 3:11:06 PM] Nyx
Stephan Killgrave…
[9/12/2026, 3:11:14 PM] Nyx
A hand…
[9/12/2026, 3:11:16 PM] debinani
The Lady Kilgrave, a hand he fashioned for the Lady Kilgrave after she lost hers
in an accident.
This particular piece of spark craft has a, shall we say, unique and sophisticated tissue
to spark craft interface that allowed Lady Kilgrave to manipulate the hand as if it were
her own.
I have every reason to believe that this hand is still in the possession of Lord Belon
[9/12/2026, 3:11:26 PM] Random
bak
[9/12/2026, 3:11:48 PM] debinani
Kilgrave and I imagine it would be most useful to Lady Nyx in her ongoing endeavors.
[9/12/2026, 3:11:49 PM] Kristian
magic item name: The Stranger
[9/12/2026, 3:12:29 PM] Nyx
Balon…
[9/12/2026, 3:12:36 PM] Nyx
The lady is wise.
[9/12/2026, 3:12:38 PM] Veth
Not to ruin the moment, but Lady Nyx sounds like a WNBA team.
[9/12/2026, 3:13:11 PM] debinani
I will also say that unless something has changed, Lord Kilgrave’s manner is probably
incredibly difficult to sneak into without help from the inside.
You may need to think of different approaches.
Okay, so Nyx is now rabid about breaking into Kilgrave’s place.
[9/12/2026, 3:14:11 PM] debinani
Nyx has a very, very aggressive list of things that she either needs to invent or steal
to create Frankenstein’s monster and this is one of them.
Just to be clear, the job from Sister Beatrice was to swap out this golden tribal artifact
[9/12/2026, 3:14:49 PM] debinani
without anybody being the wiser that it has been swapped.
[9/12/2026, 3:14:59 PM] Nyx
We should case Balon’s house.
[9/12/2026, 3:15:14 PM] Nyx
I need the hand.
[9/12/2026, 3:15:15 PM] Rob
That sounds as if there’s a conflict of interests.
[9/12/2026, 3:15:28 PM] Random
if you create said monster, remember to keep some sedagive on hand.
[9/12/2026, 3:15:36 PM] Rob
When is Nyx hiring a hunchback to assist her?
[9/12/2026, 3:15:46 PM] Nyx
Nyx taps her Bandolier
[9/12/2026, 3:15:48 PM] Nyx
Always.
[9/12/2026, 3:16:11 PM] Cam
Sure, but walking around Brightstone at all is problematic. I was hoping our new “friend” would give us some help breaking through the wards in the sewers - but if Mistress Ash thinks sneaking in is a bad idea…
[9/12/2026, 3:16:15 PM] Cam
Cam shakes her head
[9/12/2026, 3:17:10 PM] Cam
Getting one of us cleaned up enough to not stand out over there will be a challenge, much less getting into the place.
[9/12/2026, 3:17:11 PM] debinani
I mean, you guys have, I mean, both Freak Show and Idol on our slides.
Oh, wait, no.
Idol in the lurk.
Freak Show is a slide.
And you have access to nicer clothes.
So I mean, you can.
I mean, you just have to behave yourselves because it’s, you know, it’s a fancy hoi-toi-i
island.
[9/12/2026, 3:17:57 PM] Kristian
yeah Freakshow is master of disguise, like Garth!
[9/12/2026, 3:17:57 PM] Nyx
I will pay for clothes, if need be.
[9/12/2026, 3:18:02 PM] Boo
I took a bath last week.
[9/12/2026, 3:18:12 PM] Veth
Freakshow shows up dressed like a turtle.
[9/12/2026, 3:18:32 PM] Michelle
Yeah, Cam knows we probably can. She’s just got reservations about it. :P
Not our usual operation.
[9/12/2026, 3:19:21 PM] Cam
We need to put some ears to the ground for opportunities. Upcoming events. Open job positions. Visitors.
[9/12/2026, 3:19:44 PM] Freakshow
Easy enough.
[9/12/2026, 3:21:15 PM] Nyx
We can case the staff when they leave for the night…maybe switch places? The rich don’t pay much attention to the help, at least that’s been my experience at the sanitariaum.
[9/12/2026, 3:22:12 PM] Cam
That’s something to look into. Knowing how the staff interact with each other would help too. THEY might notice even if the boss doesn’t.
[9/12/2026, 3:22:38 PM] debinani
So what are y’all going to go do?
And I’m sure it could be a number of different things.
[9/12/2026, 3:23:13 PM] Nyx
Nyx nods
[9/12/2026, 3:23:31 PM] Crow
I wonder if any of them are open to bribes. At the very least to keep quiet.
[9/12/2026, 3:23:42 PM] Kristian
Freakshow will likely do the usual grifty-gladhand rumor gathering schtick
[9/12/2026, 3:24:08 PM] Boo
The staff like trinkets. bribe them to not notice us. just show up at the trades entrance and talk to the head butller.
[9/12/2026, 3:24:13 PM] Kristian
maybe see if he can find somewhere staff go to the bar or have a poker game or some crap
[9/12/2026, 3:24:22 PM] Boo
well not the head b utler, maybe the head cook
[9/12/2026, 3:24:38 PM] debinani
Okay.
So what I’m hearing is that a handful of you are going to follow some staff around, maybe
see where they go after work and, you know, apply them for info.
So we can take some subset of y’all like Freak Show and Nix and Idol on can do that.
[9/12/2026, 3:24:42 PM] Michelle
Thoughts? We can’t send all of us over there - too suspicious.
That might work, Mayvik. Maybe have Eidolon watch who comes and goes for a bit, as surreptitiously as possible. heh
[9/12/2026, 3:24:53 PM] Crow
Maybe. There’s always the risk that they’re loyal to their boss.
[9/12/2026, 3:24:56 PM] Eidolon
Shouldn’t be too hard.
[9/12/2026, 3:24:59 PM] Michelle
The rest of us might stick out too much.
[9/12/2026, 3:25:11 PM] debinani
What else?
What other things you’re going to try to set yourself up for this?
And remember, I don’t want to spend forever planning because theoretically you could go
do the job and then all this stuff could be done in the flashback, right?
Yeah, you probably don’t want to take the whole baseball team there.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
[9/12/2026, 3:25:53 PM] Rob
Do things like newspapers exist? I’m thinking Crow can do some Study to find out what our target does that’s newsworthy, like in ‘society pages’ (if such a thing exists)
[9/12/2026, 3:25:57 PM] debinani
There’s several newspapers in town.
In fact, Mara Kettering actually used to be the editor of one and then got drummed out
by some folks.
Okay.
[9/12/2026, 3:26:37 PM] Rob
Then Crow will do that. Might give us a lead on either alternate approaches to get in or just give us useful info.
[9/12/2026, 3:26:38 PM] debinani
So let’s see.
Yeah, so the notes, you’re thinking about the printers, the clerk street typesetters
and they are essentially they make pamphlets and duplicates.
There are a couple of newspapers in town, one of which is sort of controlled by the Incrites
who is also a charter hall gang.
But no, you don’t actually have influence over an actual news rag.
[9/12/2026, 3:26:47 PM] Michelle
Isn’t a paper or something in our original turf? lol
[9/12/2026, 3:27:10 PM] Michelle
ok
[9/12/2026, 3:27:12 PM] debinani
And I mean, and literally almost every district has its own rag in one form or another.
The charter hall, let’s call it the charter hall herald, is the one that focused on the
town council, the bureaucracy of the city, etc.
So let’s start with Crow then.
We’re going to make a gather information role and we’ll just call that one study.
[9/12/2026, 3:27:46 PM] Veth
It’s just one guy named Harold walking around town screaming headlines.
[9/12/2026, 3:27:46 PM] debinani
Yeah, it doesn’t have this is a no risk role.
It’s just however well you roll is a sort of information.
You get gather information, it doesn’t really use position and effect.
So yeah, just a study.
Okay.
Let’s see if I can do it in a second.
So let’s do.
[9/12/2026, 3:27:56 PM] Rob
So just a Study roll? Risky Standard? Controller?
[9/12/2026, 3:28:09 PM] Crow
Study
Risky | Standard
Partial Success
You do it, but there’s a consequence: you suffer harm, a complication occurs, you have reduced effect, you end up in a desperate position.
4 2
2d6 = 6 = 6
[9/12/2026, 3:28:21 PM] debinani
How about idling roll prowl?
And then based on that, we’ll see a Frick show.
See what Frick show.
And then Frick show roll sway.
[9/12/2026, 3:28:47 PM] Eidolon
Prowl
Risky | Standard
Failure
Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity.
2 3
2d6 = 5 = 5
[9/12/2026, 3:28:54 PM] debinani
Okay.
Yeah, idling is hiding behind a lamp post.
Okay.
Let’s do this.
We had a failed role trying to gather information lurking around bright stone.
[9/12/2026, 3:28:56 PM] Veth
I am bad at dice.
[9/12/2026, 3:29:05 PM] Rob
Eidolon is hiding behind a lamppost.
[9/12/2026, 3:29:05 PM] Freakshow
Gather Information

Great: You get exceptional details. The information is complete and follow-up questions may expand into related areas or reveal more than you hoped for.
6 6 1
3d6 = 13 = 13
[9/12/2026, 3:29:22 PM] Kristian
I make 20 bucks and learn all the things
[9/12/2026, 3:29:31 PM] debinani
You know what?
I’m just going to add one heat to the crew.
So at some point you guys got eyeballed by some blue coats and bright stone and you sort
of got roughed around a little bit and shoved out and they talked.
Yeah.
So you’ve also got Caleb doing.
[9/12/2026, 3:29:32 PM] Veth
And even doing that poorly.
[9/12/2026, 3:29:48 PM] Veth
makes sense.
[9/12/2026, 3:29:50 PM] Random
I could go with the away team and tug at the threads of the ghost field looking for weakspots in their shield.s
[9/12/2026, 3:30:06 PM] debinani
And I guess Boo’s kind of got the same idea.
Yeah, Baylon Killgraves Rich Anti-Harrin noticed you.
[9/12/2026, 3:30:09 PM] Veth
I winked at them, and told them that their mother says hello. It was very sneaky.
[9/12/2026, 3:30:20 PM] Rob
The HoA noticed Eidolon. He’s lucky to still be alive.
[9/12/2026, 3:30:40 PM] debinani
Okay.
Take a look at the wards underground.
Sure thing.
So that would be Boo.
Go ahead and make an attuneral and I’ll make a roll for Caleb.
Boo, you don’t learn anything new from the from the from the the wards at all.
[9/12/2026, 3:30:42 PM] Michelle
Yeah, was thinking Cam, Boo, and Caleb go take another look at those wards underground
[9/12/2026, 3:31:06 PM] Debinani
Gather Information

Great: You get exceptional details. The information is complete and follow-up questions may expand into related areas or reveal more than you hoped for.

[9/12/2026, 3:31:19 PM] debinani
You guys go down into the you guys go down to the sewers and we’re crawling around crawling
around bright stone and Caleb’s impressed.
He says, yeah, this is this is some old work and it’s really quite exceptional.
I think any attempt to get past this is going to raise a ruckus somewhere.
[9/12/2026, 3:31:22 PM] Boo
Attune
Risky | Standard
Failure
Things go badly. You suffer harm, a complication occurs, you end up in a desperate position, you lose this opportunity.
3 2
2d6 = 5 = 5
[9/12/2026, 3:31:53 PM] debinani
The other thing you should know is that these have been maintained, which means he’s either
got he’s got a he’s got a very, very good whisper either on his staff or on retainer because
these are awesome awesome wards and they are being actively maintained.
It’s not just he just he didn’t just inherit them.
Any other questions about the wards since Caleb roll quite well?
[9/12/2026, 3:32:40 PM] debinani
Oh yeah, I mean certainly, certainly you could trip them and and trip an alarm if you wanted
to.
[9/12/2026, 3:32:54 PM] Boo
we could use that to our advantage. have someone poke at them… here as a distraction.
[9/12/2026, 3:32:58 PM] Boo
Boo ponders more
[9/12/2026, 3:33:07 PM] Cam
Might be a good option if things go sideways.
[9/12/2026, 3:33:21 PM] Boo
we need to discuss with tthe others of course.
[9/12/2026, 3:33:23 PM] debinani
Anything anything spiritual or physical passing through them with trip the alarm?
Yes.
Um, uh, Caleb’s like, yeah, it would it would take time.
It would be a ritual.
I’d be down here while working on it and whoever is monitoring if presumably whoever is monitoring
[9/12/2026, 3:33:28 PM] Boo
Boo is carefiul to not ‘poke’
[9/12/2026, 3:33:38 PM] Cam
Even if it made noise, could you unravel these, Caleb?
[9/12/2026, 3:33:45 PM] Cam
Hypothetically.
[9/12/2026, 3:33:54 PM] Random
would my shadow self trip the alarm?
[9/12/2026, 3:34:01 PM] debinani
these would become aware that I was unraveling them.
But he kind of takes another look at the wards.
Yeah, I could get through.
[9/12/2026, 3:34:10 PM] Boo
I can trip the alarm remotelyh
[9/12/2026, 3:34:22 PM] Cam
Cam nods
[9/12/2026, 3:34:40 PM] debinani
Yeah, it just just all ones.
Caleb catches fire dies.
Yeah.
Okay, so what a big enough for us on.
Um, oh, uh, probably not.
He said these are incredibly sophisticated.
[9/12/2026, 3:34:47 PM] Veth
Cut to the actual roll when we need it, failing miserably as usual.
[9/12/2026, 3:35:12 PM] Boo
wold a big enough ruckas in on area of the wards maks a breach in another section of the wards?
[9/12/2026, 3:35:16 PM] debinani
It probably wouldn’t mask the breach, but you know, maybe they would respond to that instead
of respond to the breach.
I don’t I don’t know.
It really depends on how many people are monitoring this thing and and how they would how they
would choose to pursue an alarm.
I can tell you these are these are being these are being maintained.
They are not being any he stumbles for a little bit, but it looks at boo.
[9/12/2026, 3:35:49 PM] Boo
Boo nods.
[9/12/2026, 3:35:50 PM] debinani
They’re not being actively maintained if that makes sense.
There isn’t a whisper holding these things up.
They are independent.
They are tied off.
So whatever whatever they set off will notify somebody, but there’s not like a consciousness
behind these these wards.
[9/12/2026, 3:36:23 PM] debinani
Which would be really bad because they could they could, um, you know, respond.
Oh, no, they’re self.
These he’s like these these runes and and wards their self.
They’re.
Um, it looks like it looks like there’s some blood and ectoplasm mix in here.
That’s powering the whole thing.
They are self powering.
[9/12/2026, 3:36:36 PM] Kristian
a ward named Ward
[9/12/2026, 3:36:41 PM] Boo
can you find the power line and trace it back to what’s holding it up?
[9/12/2026, 3:37:01 PM] Michelle
Self contained
[9/12/2026, 3:37:22 PM] debinani
Uh, no, I mean, it would just be it would just be he could unwind it in a in a section.
It’s not uncommon.
[9/12/2026, 3:37:46 PM] Boo
so, is there a key rune that if it’s knocked out of place drops the wards if not all over the grounds, in a section?
[9/12/2026, 3:37:58 PM] debinani
It’s not uncommon for these bright stone guys to, you know, spend a ton to, um, toward their places.
Um, Crow, you kind of look into, um, uh, you look into Kilgrave a little bit.
[9/12/2026, 3:38:50 PM] debinani
We own several businesses around, um, around the city that are incredibly incredible,
lucrative.
Uh, he has a stake in, in, um, one of the Leviathan Hunter ships.
Um, you know, just kind of an old money family.
Um, never really got into politics.
Um, just kind of a rich dude into antiquities and, um, um,
uh, and then, I mean, you, you, you, you, you, you, you drum up the names of his businesses.
[9/12/2026, 3:39:20 PM] Boo
well its old, then it’d take to put back into place. if we knock out a key section or two that might give an opening we could use after the initial event and the ant hive calms down.
[9/12/2026, 3:39:28 PM] debinani
Um, and they’re, you know, there’s a, there’s a mushroom farm here and, uh, uh, you know, a section such here and a law firm here, you know, there’s just a handful of handful of things that, that, that keep them in mind.
Uh, yes, the, the wards themselves are very old and were put up by an expert.
It would be incredibly expensive and time consuming to put them back.
[9/12/2026, 3:39:29 PM] Boo
take time to
[9/12/2026, 3:39:57 PM] Rob
Got it.
[9/12/2026, 3:39:57 PM] Cam
Alright. Let’s take get out of here. You can put your heads together with Crow when we see him.
[9/12/2026, 3:40:01 PM] debinani
Um, no, but there are some places where like, there’s no tunnel.
And so chances are, you know, basically the, the wards are there in any place that somebody could pass through.
But if they’re this good in the freaking sewer, they’re probably even better on the walls and doors and, you know, the actual grounds.
[9/12/2026, 3:40:06 PM] Boo
Boo ponders more.
[9/12/2026, 3:40:11 PM] Boo
if it’s in sections…
[9/12/2026, 3:40:22 PM] Boo
is there detectable border lines between sections?
[9/12/2026, 3:40:45 PM] debinani
Um, okay.
So, Freak Show, you eventually end up in this, um, watering hole. It’s right on the six towers side right across the bridge and six towers from Brightstone.
Um, you know, a number of, it’s called, it’s called the Handmaiden and, uh, a number of this house’s staff and the staff from a lot of other places in Brightstone probably live in six towers and, and they, they, they pass through here or stop here on their way.
[9/12/2026, 3:40:59 PM] Boo
I’m thinking street level. a weak spot we could slip through.
[9/12/2026, 3:41:31 PM] debinani
Um, several of the, um, several of the Killgrave household staff stop here. It looks like, um, it’s a, um, a, a cook and maybe a butler who, both young kids, they’re obviously, you know, dating or seeing each other.
Um, and, um, and you follow them to the Handmaiden and, uh, they’re stopping in there for drinks and a, um, a, a bite to eat.
[9/12/2026, 3:42:10 PM] debinani
Um, you, uh, you sort of do your thing, uh, in the, in the, in the bar, you’re entertaining people, you’re talking to folks.
Uh, and, uh, you find out that the, um, these two particular folks are in a bit of a tizzy, uh, you know, leisure, zoot freaky.
Uh, in a bit of a tizzy because, uh, in two weeks, there is a, uh, Lord Killgrave is planning a, um, let’s call it an open house, uh, where he invites, um, various people he wishes to influence.
[9/12/2026, 3:42:42 PM] Kristian
Leisure Suit Freaky
[9/12/2026, 3:42:56 PM] debinani
And, um, he invites people he wishes to influence. He has, um, all of his valuable artifacts kind of out on display.
Um, and he wows people in glad hands and gets people drunk and makes deals and stuff like that. Basically, a, um, big social occasion, he doesn’t do that sort of thing very often, uh, which is why the household staff is, um, very, uh, animated.
Uh, because this event is coming up and he only does it once every couple of years and, and, um, and, uh, it’s always a party.
[9/12/2026, 3:43:37 PM] debinani
You rolled exceptionally well. What else do you want to know?
I, yes, um, uh, basically the, uh, the head of household, um, hires, um, extra, exactly, cooks, wait staff and whatnot to, um, to, uh, to support, uh, to support the, the gathering.
[9/12/2026, 3:43:49 PM] Kristian
like Beauty and the Beast? They are can dlesticks?
[9/12/2026, 3:44:15 PM] Freakshow
Well with the scope of the event, does he bring on temporary help?
[9/12/2026, 3:44:24 PM] Freakshow
Extra waitstaff and cooks and such, to bolster the ranks?
[9/12/2026, 3:44:36 PM] debinani
Um, the hiring is usually relatively last minute, uh, and the hiring is from a, um, a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, I’ll call it an agency for lack of a better word, but there’s a, um, there’s a, um, a company in bright stone that specializes in helping rich people throw parties and they usually provide the extra staff.
You
[9/12/2026, 3:44:49 PM] Freakshow
Freakshow waves at his face
[9/12/2026, 3:45:08 PM] Freakshow
I’m not exactly front of house but I can wash dishes, and I have a couple of more presentable friends that could use some extra income.
[9/12/2026, 3:45:17 PM] Michelle
Are the Sisters invited? Or anyone in their sphere?
[9/12/2026, 3:45:24 PM] Freakshow
Any way you can put a good word in?
[9/12/2026, 3:45:36 PM] debinani
I’m fairly sure, jeez, only hires temporary staff from Annemory in over on a gilded
ad. Yes, the headbettler’s name is jeez.
[9/12/2026, 3:46:23 PM] debinani
I’m just going to have to look at the
first floor.
Again, critical gather information roll.
You’ve got two members of the household staff up butler and cook.
What else you want to get out of them?
I’m just going to have to look at the first floor.
[9/12/2026, 3:46:25 PM] Kristian
G-vees
[9/12/2026, 3:47:01 PM] debinani
I’m just going to have to look at the first floor.
Oh, he’s not worried about that. He has that dreadful woman ward them after he takes them out of the vault.
I hear tell one of the guests from five years ago died because they reached out and touched one of the artifacts on display.
[9/12/2026, 3:47:12 PM] Freakshow
I imagine security must be very tight for something like this, especially if he’s showing off his shinies
[9/12/2026, 3:47:31 PM] Freakshow
He hiring bouncer types as well to keep the riff raff away, or already have people on hand?
[9/12/2026, 3:47:50 PM] debinani
Most of the guests tend to bring their own security.
So there’s usually quite a lot of security present at the event.
They don’t know about children. They’re like, well, I mean, Lord Kilgrave doesn’t have any children.
[9/12/2026, 3:47:57 PM] Freakshow
That seems very dangerous.
[9/12/2026, 3:48:02 PM] Freakshow
No children allowed I hope then.
[9/12/2026, 3:48:33 PM] debinani
That they’re aware of.
They don’t know. They both work there for one of the previous parties.
But there weren’t a lot of children running around at the event.
But he can invite like whoever.
I don’t know.
[9/12/2026, 3:48:49 PM] Kristian
they don’t like, notice there are children running around at events? heh
[9/12/2026, 3:49:01 PM] Veth
Epstein Killgrave.
[9/12/2026, 3:49:08 PM] debinani
No, they actually both burst out in a fit of the giggles at that.
No, Evans, no, we’re not entirely sure Lord Kilgrave knows how to do any of that.
[9/12/2026, 3:49:09 PM] Freakshow
This isn’t one of those..sexy parties is it?
[9/12/2026, 3:49:16 PM] Freakshow
Masks and candles and special dark rooms?
[9/12/2026, 3:49:25 PM] Freakshow
my friends are not into that.
[9/12/2026, 3:49:35 PM] Freakshow
Freakshow snickers
[9/12/2026, 3:49:46 PM] debinani
So that’s about as much as you get out of them, especially since you got distracted by getting roughed up by the blue coats.
I’m trailing them trailing them out of the district.
[9/12/2026, 3:49:50 PM] Freakshow
Cork won’t go into the bottle eh?
[9/12/2026, 3:49:56 PM] Freakshow
No wonder he’s got time for lordin’ and collections
[9/12/2026, 3:50:26 PM] debinani
So you’ll gather back up in exchange notes.
Thank you.

[9/12/2026, 3:51:09 PM] Kristian
yep, relay that to everyone…see if we can sneak our way in as the hired help
[9/12/2026, 3:51:15 PM] debinani
.
I’m probably unlikely that Kilgrave would be inviting members of a shadowy criminal organization to his house to look at.
[9/12/2026, 3:51:23 PM] Kristian
pee in the bisque, do some public crime, all that good stuff
[9/12/2026, 3:51:46 PM] Boo
hmmm… if the guests have their own security, I wonder if the Sisters are going and if they an extra hand in that area..,,
[9/12/2026, 3:51:58 PM] Boo
need/want
[9/12/2026, 3:51:59 PM] Michelle
That’s why I asked if he could find out who’s invited. hehe
[9/12/2026, 3:52:13 PM] Rob
If he’s into antiques and is displaying them soon, maybe we have something that can interest him. Someone can pose as a seller.
[9/12/2026, 3:52:15 PM] debinani

[9/12/2026, 3:52:26 PM] Rob
Prior to the event, I mean. He’d want to add it before the event.
[9/12/2026, 3:53:15 PM] debinani
.
.
[9/12/2026, 3:53:16 PM] Random
hmmmm… I would ahve figured the Sisters would have a ‘clean’ public face. I mean nobody invited the mob, but Don Corleone probably got invited a lot of places…
[9/12/2026, 3:54:15 PM] debinani
.
.
[9/12/2026, 3:54:24 PM] Kristian
not everyone is as smooth as us? lol
[9/12/2026, 3:54:24 PM] Michelle
I thought about coming up with an antiquity, but men like that tend to have people who does the acquiring for them. Not likely we’d get in the front door. We’d have to hire someone to fake something up, magic the shit of it to be useful once we’re inside or something.
[9/12/2026, 3:54:30 PM] Random
break time?
[9/12/2026, 3:54:47 PM] Kristian
use Ash as bait. Worst case no mor ecreepy statue that will definitely screw us over later
[9/12/2026, 3:54:48 PM] Michelle
Getting in as hired help seems more feasible, if we can convince Anna Marie there.
[9/12/2026, 3:54:52 PM] debinani
Well, I remember the creepy statue is also giving you your, giving you your ghost echo’s ability.
.
All right. So here’s how we’re going to do this.
[9/12/2026, 3:55:02 PM] Michelle
Do we want to risk losing her?
[9/12/2026, 3:55:27 PM] debinani
The party is on February 18th. It is currently the second.
I will give you a downtime, you know, two downtime activities between now and then.
And then I want you to come up with very, very roughly. What is your approach going to be? Is the approach going to be, you know, get hired on as staff is the approach going to be we walk through the front door because we forge an invitation.
[9/12/2026, 3:55:59 PM] debinani
And then we’re going to use some combination of those things.
And that’s where we’re going to start. And then we are going to use this game system like it is meant to be used.
And you guys are going to use flashbacks to, to, to oceans 11, the rest of it.
So the one yelling surprise motherfuckers is a perfectly valid way to go.
Um, um, might not be the most effective because again, the big thing is kill grave can’t know that the artifact has been swapped.
[9/12/2026, 3:56:15 PM] Kristian
kick in front door, yell Surprise Motherfuckers, kill everyone, victory
[9/12/2026, 3:56:30 PM] Rob
Your losing sight of the objective, Mayvik.
[9/12/2026, 3:56:31 PM] Veth
fun
[9/12/2026, 3:56:32 PM] Kristian
Who ordered the whoop-ass fajitas?!
[9/12/2026, 3:56:38 PM] Veth
It is the most like us option.
[9/12/2026, 3:56:42 PM] debinani
So anyway, there’s a lot of ways you could do that. Like you could mess up a whole bunch of other stuff and swap the artifact. But, you know.
Anyway, we’re going to take a break here. You could talk amongst yourselves, figure it out and we’ll, we’ll figure out what the, what the key approaches and what you’re going to do with that downtime.
And I have Caleb do in the downtime as well because he could probably prepare some, some nasty things. So anyway, break here and we’ll go from there.
[9/12/2026, 3:56:45 PM] Kristian
the mayor?
[9/12/2026, 3:56:53 PM] Rob
Admittedly, he won’t know if he’s dead.
[9/12/2026, 3:57:07 PM] Rob
Wouldn’t he know who he invited?
[9/12/2026, 3:57:07 PM] Kristian
can’t know if we kill him and everyone he’s ever met
[9/12/2026, 3:57:10 PM] Random

OK, basic plan for consideration:
Hire on as many of us as we can as extra help. If Caleb can come with us, all the better. If not, have other thoughts there.
Get in, find our item, break ward, replace item, (put ward back?), and get out.
If Caleb thinks it’s ok, Mutt can pee on the ward or something to trip an alarm to help us escape in a pinch.

[9/12/2026, 4:13:39 PM] debinani
Okay.
Yeah, that’s right. So you guys get two downtime activities. Like if you want to acquire assets or anything like that.
And so
Boo, go ahead and make a roll to reduce stress.
Since you just rocked up a ton.
you
[9/12/2026, 4:13:40 PM] Random
for my down time, I want to create a second short term “shadow bomb” (3stress ritual) and then reduce stress.

[9/12/2026, 4:15:50 PM] Kristian
I have 2 stress and am fraid of reduce and overindulge heh. So I’ll do a reduce heat, and probably something related to the upcoming caper, maybe try to see if I find any of the usual temp help in the area and convince them not to show up this year, or something.
[9/12/2026, 4:15:54 PM] Boo
ooc off
[9/12/2026, 4:16:04 PM] Michelle
Is Caleb willing/able to go on the job with us?
[9/12/2026, 4:16:14 PM] Nyx
Acquire Asset
Success
Good result. You gain an asset of Tier 2 quality.
To raise the result beyond critical, you may spend 2 coin per +1 Tier bonus.
6
1d6 = 6 = 6
[9/12/2026, 4:16:24 PM] debinani
Yeah, but you need to like he really wants to know why like like what
What do you want him to do?
Um
On the job or just be there in case like it seems like half this place says wards on it
So you just want him to prepare to uh to break down wards
Okay, I think that makes sense um
[9/12/2026, 4:16:34 PM] Boo
I was at 8. well 2 off that is not better than none
[9/12/2026, 4:16:56 PM] Michelle
The wards on the items on display. If our item is out there, we need to be able to break and replace the ward.
[9/12/2026, 4:16:58 PM] debinani
Freak show you want to reduce heat. I mean the the crew only has one heat right now, but you can reduce it if you wish
Okay, so what he will do is he will um he will prepare
Some tricks to get through wards is what he’ll do with the downtime
You
[9/12/2026, 4:17:00 PM] Kristian
“just shut up, and drink a lot of water beforehand”
[9/12/2026, 4:17:15 PM] Michelle
If he doesn’t go, I need a way to remove a warded item without tripping the ward. :P
[9/12/2026, 4:17:29 PM] Kristian
is that not worth bothering with? If so I’ll do a caperprep and a project work then.
[9/12/2026, 4:17:30 PM] Rob
Is dealing with Throne’s ghost a valid downtime activity?
[9/12/2026, 4:17:34 PM] Michelle
Sounds good
[9/12/2026, 4:17:34 PM] debinani
Um, no, it’s actually not uh go ahead and roll a tune
Because yes, that ghost is going to break three free and in the next day or two
Okay, you bottle his ass up. No problem
And
And it is not one of your downtime activities
[9/12/2026, 4:17:38 PM] Rob

Okay, let’s talk about caper prep. What does that what does that actually mean?
I mean if you want you can um
You know try to get hold of the outfits that animaries sends with people you could
try to um
I guess influence anivary um
Which would be tough
[9/12/2026, 4:18:49 PM] Kristian
basically the intent was try and wave off people who might normally hire on for these types of gigs, so they don’t show up for Anna and we get to be stunt doubles.
[9/12/2026, 4:18:51 PM] debinani
You
You
[9/12/2026, 4:18:56 PM] Rob
Yeah, I was going to ask about that. We need to get in with one of the outfits that provides hired help to Killgrave, right?
[9/12/2026, 4:18:57 PM] Kristian
despite our horrible lack of qualifications lol
[9/12/2026, 4:19:25 PM] Kristian
or that, try to schmooze onto one of the typical contractors
[9/12/2026, 4:19:32 PM] Kristian
ghost Aramark or whatever
[9/12/2026, 4:19:35 PM] debinani
Yeah, you either need to get in with them or you need to be able to uh pretend that you are them
Um, so there is that
You
[9/12/2026, 4:20:11 PM] Michelle
There we go. Acquire asset - papers showing we’re respectable hired help
[9/12/2026, 4:20:22 PM] debinani
So
Okay, so you want to you want to acquire asset you want to create
forged credentials
forged credentials that you are
People sent over from animaries
You
[9/12/2026, 4:20:33 PM] Rob
That’s what I was thinking. Or acquiring suitable clothes so we don’t look like a street gang. :P
[9/12/2026, 4:21:00 PM] Michelle
Or FOR her to encourage our hiring
[9/12/2026, 4:21:03 PM] debinani
You’re probably better off um um
Um, you’re you’re probably better off that um
You know
forging
papers
Saying you’ve been sent by animaries and then
somebody else
You know acquiring the outfits and then somebody else um
Making sure that the people animaria really higher don’t make it there
[9/12/2026, 4:21:15 PM] Kristian
I feel like clothes are maybe provided? like they are gonna send randoms and provide front of house outfits that all matchy matchy
[9/12/2026, 4:21:36 PM] Rob
They aren’t provided if we aren’t actually sent by them.
[9/12/2026, 4:21:38 PM] debinani
And you could theoretically have your um
You could theoretically have uh the reclaimed go do that
You
Unless you want to legitimately be hired by animaria and that’s kind of a whole other approach

Do we try to get hired or pretend to be hired?
[9/12/2026, 4:22:45 PM] debinani
You
I think actually getting hired by animaries probably a tough call
I mean we could probably do it in a flashback or something like that but um
I
I imagine somebody like her would probably have the reputation of
integrity and and and her own sort of stable of people and
[9/12/2026, 4:23:03 PM] Rob
I think pretending to be hired is better. Might leave less of a trail.
[9/12/2026, 4:23:21 PM] debinani
So I think pretending to be hired might be a little more plausible
You
[9/12/2026, 4:23:47 PM] Michelle
And we’d be dropping heat on her if things go badly. lol
[9/12/2026, 4:23:57 PM] Kristian

Okay, so um
Yeah, so you are gonna fake
You’re gonna fake being hired by animaries
You’re gonna get a hold of some outfits and you are going to um
Make sure that the people animaria really higher don’t make it to
don’t make it to
The manner so that’s
[9/12/2026, 4:25:13 PM] debinani

I mean, it’s temp help they’re not expecting to know you and you’re not expecting to know them

getting uniform type stuff should be pretty easy, if we can figure out who does their outfitting.
[9/12/2026, 4:25:57 PM] debinani
Yep, that is a uh, uh, so the the uniform stuff that’s going to be a uh
Uh, a tier zero acquire asset
Um, so that’s going to be a very very easy role to make
Um, and then um
The forged documentation is going to be just a tier one and then um
Um, stopping the others from making it there you could either do
Uh, an acquire asset for that or you can uh
[9/12/2026, 4:26:16 PM] Kristian
so maybe that’s me, go info gather to find the clothing location/laundry?
[9/12/2026, 4:26:31 PM] Rob
Are these skill rolls or generic acquire assets rolls?
[9/12/2026, 4:26:31 PM] debinani
um
Or you can have the reclaimers go do it
Uh, these are just generic acquire asset roles you’ll just be rolling one die um for your tier level
[9/12/2026, 4:26:47 PM] Kristian
I rolled 2 sixes earlier so I call the easy one lol
[9/12/2026, 4:26:55 PM] Michelle

[9/12/2026, 4:27:00 PM] Rob

[9/12/2026, 4:28:08 PM] Michelle
Really short skirt ones
[9/12/2026, 4:28:09 PM] debinani
You freak show you go get the outfits and you get the outfits no big deal
So everybody’s got uniforms uh, who is gonna try to
Um, get the forged papers
Yep, it’s just gonna be one die
[9/12/2026, 4:28:19 PM] Kristian
This party is at Hooters, right?
[9/12/2026, 4:28:41 PM] Rob
I mean, it’s the same roll no matter who does it, right?
[9/12/2026, 4:28:43 PM] debinani
But it’s gonna take up one of your down times so that’s why I’m asking
Okay, do it
Okay, uh, you want to spend a coin to uh um
To uh get that up. Yeah, spend a coin get that up to uh
Uh, what it needs to be all right and then um, who wants to roll for the reclaimed to uh
[9/12/2026, 4:28:52 PM] Rob
I’ll do it.
[9/12/2026, 4:28:57 PM] Crow

[9/12/2026, 4:29:06 PM] Rob
Sure.
[9/12/2026, 4:29:15 PM] debinani
Uh, to do their thing
So basically these guys are going to go off and uh
um
These guys are gonna go off and
Uh attempt to whaylay
The legitimate workers that are going to uh
um
That are going to think oh you want to take the one coin out of the cruise pot
We can do that
[9/12/2026, 4:29:28 PM] Rob
Wow. I now have 0 coins. I forgot that I spent some last week.
[9/12/2026, 4:29:43 PM] Michelle
Take it out of the crew’s pot
[9/12/2026, 4:29:49 PM] debinani
And I and I think acquire asset is two coins per plus one will start that next session. That was my bad
so uh
Uh
Crow you can take the coin back. I just took one out of the cruise pot
Um
Um, okay, so uh the reclaimed need to make a roll to see how well they whaylay a bunch of cooks and waiters
Again, it is just one die so unless somebody wants to go with them and help
[9/12/2026, 4:30:04 PM] Michelle
Yes. This is a good use for it.
[9/12/2026, 4:30:08 PM] Rob
Done.
[9/12/2026, 4:30:08 PM] Kristian
hold up I was saving that for potions
[9/12/2026, 4:30:30 PM] debinani
Somebody want to go with them and help
You
I mean yeah, I mean most of you have at least one
[9/12/2026, 4:30:43 PM] Rob
Anyone have a downtime left?
[9/12/2026, 4:30:56 PM] Kristian
I have one.
[9/12/2026, 4:31:04 PM] debinani
You
Know you guys get to you guys get two downtime activities
Um, okay, so cam your choice you can
Uh roll hunt plus one die
Or you can roll command which I know you’re not want to do uh to give the reclaimed plus one die
[9/12/2026, 4:31:05 PM] Rob
Wait, didn’t we only get one before the job?
[9/12/2026, 4:31:10 PM] Random
i’m tapped
[9/12/2026, 4:31:11 PM] Michelle
I can do the roll and go with them.
[9/12/2026, 4:31:23 PM] Rob
Argh. Now I need to figure out what my second one is.
[9/12/2026, 4:31:40 PM] debinani
So I’m assuming you want to do hunt plus one die
And uh we’ll see how you do
Uh, yeah
Yep
I’m playing pretty fast and loose with the acquire asset here
[9/12/2026, 4:31:42 PM] Random
we were only getting 1 before due to the war.
[9/12/2026, 4:31:55 PM] Michelle
Yeah
[9/12/2026, 4:32:06 PM] Cam
Risky/Standard?
[9/12/2026, 4:32:11 PM] debinani
Okay, no problem you and the reclaimed go and uh there’s a group of of uh
Seven or eight
House staff that are being sent over from enemies and you grab them and you tie them up and you stash them somewhere
For the duration of the job. No problem
Who’s got downtime activities left?
[9/12/2026, 4:32:16 PM] Cam

[9/12/2026, 4:33:00 PM] Kristian
got one…guess I will train as well.
[9/12/2026, 4:33:02 PM] debinani
Okay, uh trains the usual story you can do insight resolve or to prowess
You
[9/12/2026, 4:33:16 PM] Rob
Prowess, to be exact. Take advantage of that perk.
[9/12/2026, 4:33:57 PM] Kristian
yeah also prowess since that’l max my bar.
[9/12/2026, 4:34:02 PM] debinani
Okay
Okay, anybody got anything else
Okay, uh nicks actually did a uh
One of her activities was getting a hold of blueprints for the house
And so you guys actually have detailed blueprints for the whole house
[9/12/2026, 4:34:23 PM] Kristian
and I’ll cash that in for Prowl since we do that quite a bit.
[9/12/2026, 4:34:33 PM] debinani
um
Notable in it is that um
Uh, there’s all the like the public spaces of the house on the first floor. There is uh
um
You know
Bedrooms and sitting rooms and smoking rooms on the second floor
And but there is something very clearly marked
As a workshop in the basement
Actually, I actually no there’s a workshop and a vault in the basement
[9/12/2026, 4:35:00 PM] Nyx
Nyx set the blueprints down.
[9/12/2026, 4:35:08 PM] Cam
Nicely done.
[9/12/2026, 4:35:13 PM] Nyx
I wonder which room the hand would be in.
[9/12/2026, 4:35:18 PM] debinani
I mean it actually I mean it actually says vault uh because when the house was built
um
Like a real vault with a vault door was was put in
It’s like a no shit like bank vault
Not that kind of vault
[9/12/2026, 4:35:20 PM] Kristian
“secret artifact storage”
[9/12/2026, 4:35:36 PM] Rob
By Vault-Tec?
[9/12/2026, 4:35:48 PM] Cam
Unless he’s using the thing, I would guess the vault.
[9/12/2026, 4:35:54 PM] debinani
Okay, so all of y’all plus Caleb are dressed as
cooks and servers um
And um
Actually, I’ll say you’re all dresses servers
Um you’re not going to be
Because otherwise somebody’s going to grab you and set you just stirring up called or something and you’re going to be stuck
[9/12/2026, 4:36:26 PM] debinani
So you’re all dressed as servers um and
You have
Papers saying that you’re from anamarias and or anamaries
You have held up the people who are supposed to be arriving from anamaries. That’s not going to be an issue
um
Uh freak shows gonna pretty y’all up a little bit. So you don’t look um all
slummy um and um
[9/12/2026, 4:36:34 PM] Nyx
I will bring my lock picking accoutrements.
[9/12/2026, 4:36:44 PM] Rob
Nyx as a cook would’ve been… interesting.
[9/12/2026, 4:36:44 PM] Kristian
and disguise us up a bit as well, esp me with the easily id’able tattys
[9/12/2026, 4:37:00 PM] debinani
Okay
You could if you want if that’s going to be the plan um
uh and um
And your approach is to
Just essentially walk up to the servant store show the papers say here we are from anamarias uh where do you want us right?
So it’s time for an engagement role
You
[9/12/2026, 4:37:16 PM] Random
well a cook could put a knock out potion into the food and put the party to sleep…
[9/12/2026, 4:37:20 PM] Kristian
less slummy
[9/12/2026, 4:37:21 PM] Michelle
gotta be quiet. hehe
[9/12/2026, 4:37:42 PM] debinani
Let’s see here
Start with one dive for sheer luck um is the operation particularly bold or daring
Sure is it overly complex or contingent on manufacturers now
Does the plan is detailed expose a vulnerability of the target or hit them where they’re weakest sure
Can any of your friends or contacts provide aid or insight for this operation
Anybody
[9/12/2026, 4:37:59 PM] Rob
I’d say so.
[9/12/2026, 4:38:15 PM] debinani
Are there enemies or rivals interfering with the operation
[9/12/2026, 4:38:31 PM] Kristian
I mean I can bring drugs for the party lol
[9/12/2026, 4:38:48 PM] Kristian
can I make a side hustle selling rich people drugs for some bonus $$?
[9/12/2026, 4:38:52 PM] debinani
Any insight nickel grave himself
They just know they want something of these gotten they don’t want him to know they’ve got it
I don’t think I’m gonna give you an extra dice for taking drugs into the joint
Okay
[9/12/2026, 4:38:55 PM] Rob
No outside interference that we’re aware of.
[9/12/2026, 4:39:03 PM] Kristian
“go see the fry cook for some good smack”
[9/12/2026, 4:39:03 PM] Random
could the Sisters give us some insight before the night, before we go in?
[9/12/2026, 4:39:23 PM] Random
check
[9/12/2026, 4:39:24 PM] debinani
All right, I’ll give you three dice for the engagement role who’s gonna make it
Usually cam does the honors
You
[9/12/2026, 4:39:52 PM] Michelle
My crazy plan, I guess
[9/12/2026, 4:39:52 PM] Rob
We’re all virtually staring at her.
[9/12/2026, 4:40:03 PM] Michelle
:P
[9/12/2026, 4:40:04 PM] debinani
Very nice
You
Okay, so that part works uh you arrive and uh you are escorted in and the the head of the servant staff
Uh
yells at you all to you know grab a serving tray and fill it with canopies and and um

And uh drinks
I mean this is
The
Not only it’s it’s not about the amount of food
It’s about the kind of food. There’s like real goat meat here. There’s like
There’s like
Things that could be considered fresh vegetables here. You’re not even sure how they’re growing it
You know you all live on algae and mushrooms and you know sometimes some fish
So this is you know getting an exposure to the high life is uh is a pretty uh pretty startling for most of you
[9/12/2026, 4:40:43 PM] Kristian
DM Ominous “That part”
[9/12/2026, 4:41:07 PM] Rob
We all give him a blank look when he says ‘canape’.
[9/12/2026, 4:41:17 PM] debinani
Um the manor has a fairly expansive kitchen. There are people bustling around everywhere
um you are uh there are parages lined up outside
uh
folks have uh uh uh you know people in nice suits with uh uh with uh ladies and nice dresses and
big
meat stick of people stuffed into suits as bodyguards are starting to show up
You all have gotten trays of canopies and
[9/12/2026, 4:41:50 PM] debinani
champagne flutes and have been
Shoot out into the common areas of the first floor
um
To
entertain the guests uh the uh
What’s a canopy um so the way the house works there’s a
And you all know this because you’ve seen the blueprints
There is a formal dining room
[9/12/2026, 4:42:23 PM] debinani
Just off the kitchen and it looks like
It’s sort of been taken over by people just having little chats
That’s the the chairs have all been removed and the large table in the center of the dining room all has uh just decorative
Um actually no it doesn’t it’s got
um
Blueprints it looks like blueprints of inventions maybe that
You know bail on is probably taking credit for but honestly it was probably inventions from his
[9/12/2026, 4:42:52 PM] Rob
Noted.
[9/12/2026, 4:42:59 PM] debinani
His ancestors
um but uh it looks like sparkcraft blueprints across the table um
The
uh
Then there’s a
Large circular main hall that that
Comes off the foyer there are stairs going up from this great hall into into uh the second floor
But this is where really the party is taking place
There are little pedestals around the great hall each pedestal on it has a little glass
[9/12/2026, 4:43:01 PM] Random
fancier tapas
[9/12/2026, 4:43:27 PM] Nyx
Nyx studies the blueprints
[9/12/2026, 4:43:34 PM] debinani
dome and um
Uh within the dome is some artifact
mostly um
It it looks like they are just
Old world artifacts that that had um
um
That have been recovered here there everywhere um
Uh we’ll talk about those in a second the
walls of this hall are covered in portraits of the kill grave family
[9/12/2026, 4:44:06 PM] debinani
and
it doesn’t take
Boo or crow very long to realize that every single one of those portraits has a ghost trapped in it and they’re all batshit insane
so um
the uh the
the
portraits themselves of
of
The family
line
Going back looks like hundreds and hundreds of years all have ghosts in it
[9/12/2026, 4:44:36 PM] Random
“feel” around the domes for wards?
[9/12/2026, 4:44:38 PM] debinani
You’ve heard rumors that sometimes rich people will do this they’ll
Like literally capture the ghosts of their ancestors and
Keep them around forever it looks like this is a family that does that
including uh
Stefan
Killgrave is in one of these paintings the paintings looks all the painting looks like he’s a scientist and he’s got you know
Something sparking and and a bit of clockwork and it would not round him
[9/12/2026, 4:44:46 PM] Boo
Boo pales
[9/12/2026, 4:44:53 PM] Michelle
Oh, that’s mean
[9/12/2026, 4:44:54 PM] Crow
Crow looks concerned
[9/12/2026, 4:45:05 PM] Nyx
Look for Stephan
[9/12/2026, 4:45:09 PM] debinani
But the painting definitely
uh murmurs and mumbles uh if you focus on it long enough
So anyway painting surrounding this great hall uh all of them have a ghost trapped in them and all the ghosts are freaking nuts
Increasingly so right the further you go back the more rabid uh the ghosts are
um
The pedestals and the little domes a little glass domes uh they have um
Artifacts in them and the it vast and varied different artifacts, but mostly
[9/12/2026, 4:45:39 PM] Nyx
Nyx focuses on Stephan
[9/12/2026, 4:45:44 PM] debinani
uh little like tribal bits and bobbles from right after the uh right after the the breaking
A couple of artifacts from the old old world
Like let’s say there’s a pesto Spencer even though you guys don’t know what it is you can recognize that it is from
Well not a pesto Spencer the world ended in the 1800s, you know
some little you know little uh uh ivory
filigree or something right a lot of a lot of different a lot of different things all of which just incredibly incredibly ancient
[9/12/2026, 4:46:15 PM] debinani
um
We’re gonna we’re just gonna make a fortune roll
And we’ll do
four
Literally on my screen the dice ended up on its on its corner. Okay
uh the artifact you are supposed to replace is in here it is a golden little squat roundish tribal artifact
[9/12/2026, 4:46:35 PM] Debinani

1d6 = 3 = 3
[9/12/2026, 4:46:46 PM] debinani
Looks exactly like the one that which one of you has in their bag
Okay
Looks exactly like the one that okay
That came the boss
So cam actually has the artifact you’re supposed to replace in it with her and Caleb’s Caleb’s nearby
um and uh and
[9/12/2026, 4:47:08 PM] Michelle
Cam, and she’s keeping Caleb close
[9/12/2026, 4:47:19 PM] Random
I’ll hold it.
[9/12/2026, 4:47:19 PM] debinani
Each one of these artifacts has a little uh
Tag under it and you can actually go and and look at it and the the the the tag says uh
Oh, yeah, there’s rewards all over
um all over the artifacts the glass domes are actually awarded
um
Uh the ghosts themselves basically the paintings are spirit balls
And so like you could
If you really wanted to
Violate the integrity of the spirit model it would be pretty easy and it would let the ghost out so
[9/12/2026, 4:47:29 PM] Rob
So… can Crow tell if the wards or whatever keeping the ghosts trapped are somehow tied to the wards protecting this place?
[9/12/2026, 4:47:31 PM] Kristian
people going to jail soon: Cam
[9/12/2026, 4:47:36 PM] Michelle
You’re on ward duty. hehe Or unleashing ghosts.
[9/12/2026, 4:47:54 PM] debinani
um you whispers know how to do that um
The label on the artifact you’re interested in uh says it is a uh
Uh, it is a uh an old world artifact
from a a group of people called the um
um
Cherokee
and um
and uh
You know contains you know strange powers and magics and uh survived the
[9/12/2026, 4:48:16 PM] Rob
I think we’re trying to not murder anyone this time, so maybe as a last resort.
[9/12/2026, 4:48:21 PM] Kristian
violate something? my time to shine!
[9/12/2026, 4:48:30 PM] debinani
survived the you know they estimate that it’s from
um a hundred years prior to the end of the world um and uh
It’s it’s all very interesting uh there are no unknown everyday tring is lying around
um out here
It’s holding cigar. It’s it’s holds ash tray um
off the great hall there is a
A study and it seems that Lord kill grave himself is holding court in the study uh there’s just kind of steady flow of
[9/12/2026, 4:48:40 PM] Rob
Is it a stick of dynamite?
[9/12/2026, 4:48:54 PM] Michelle
Holden’s cigar rest…
[9/12/2026, 4:48:57 PM] Random
any undomed, everyday, trinkets laying around?
[9/12/2026, 4:49:06 PM] debinani
Of dignitaries sort of in and out of there and so you think he’s in there with fireplace lit and
You know having drinks with the people that he wants to meet with
um various dignitaries are wandering around the room they are taking their connoisse
You are you are sipping you’re they’re sipping their champagne
You are collecting their leaving um and
um
and
You also know that the way down to the lab and the vault is
[9/12/2026, 4:49:33 PM] Michelle
Can any of the Whispers detect his Whisper?
[9/12/2026, 4:49:41 PM] debinani
um
Down a hallway kind of off the kitchen and dining room
It is not
You guys haven’t explored it yet, but you know the way down to the lab is
That way down that hall
um but uh here you are
Uh neither one of your whispers are really prepared to go like
Trying to sense other ones. I mean you could look
I mean you could look in the ghost field and see what’s
[9/12/2026, 4:50:04 PM] Random
well a ghost or two getting loose from their painting jars would certianly be a distraction to swapping artifacts…
[9/12/2026, 4:50:06 PM] Rob
Yes, as well as a hazard to us.
[9/12/2026, 4:50:14 PM] debinani
what’s uh
What’s glowing but
And so that’s where you find yourself you all are scattered about the main hall uh there are dignitaries
chatting and and eating their canapes and drinking their champagne and uh
You see the artifact that is your target and you know that down a back set of stairs is your other target and
Nobody seems the wiser
[9/12/2026, 4:50:48 PM] debinani
Um, I will say yes
mr. Perkins is actually quite
Fascinated with the the goings-on
In this particular place in fact he has shown up with you and uh you have
uh
You have
uh
Seeing him wander off into the study uh where
Uh killgrave is holding cor-
[9/12/2026, 4:50:50 PM] Kristian
is Perkins here watching all the hobnobbery?

we are going on 4. we going to continue on?
[9/12/2026, 4:51:27 PM] Nyx
Nyx continues to stare at the painting
[9/12/2026, 4:51:30 PM] debinani
Uh the painting of stefan um
Of uh stefan killgrave just mutters in coherently
Uh
Uh
Good question. Let’s find out
[9/12/2026, 4:51:33 PM] Cam
murmurs to Caleb Can you handle the ward on that dome?
[9/12/2026, 4:51:39 PM] Kristian
great the place I don’t want to be hahah
[9/12/2026, 4:52:01 PM] debinani
Okay, uh so yeah um
Uh
So you say okay, can you handle the word on that dome and uh and you know you uh
You know distract the people around you and this particular statue is not like the centerpiece of
The display um
The centerpiece oddly enough is a the one that the one that is sort of has been positioned in the center of the room
People see it first when they walk in

symbol of five interlocking rings um
Um, that’s the thing that’s been placed
prominently
Um in the thing
You’re out of fact a little further back near one of the walls
Um Caleb looks at it closely for a few minutes and then uh

Leans over to you says and says uh
Yeah, that was put on pretty hurriedly by an amateur. I can uh
