From my notes
News in the city:
- Spirit Wardens keeping the spirits out manually (barriers failing)
- Bluecoats struggling to keep the peace.
- Iruvian Ship Captan offers to deliver electroplasm to Doskvol at a steep price.
- Paragon in the harbor, at cannon’s distance from the Nightbreaker.
- Panic in the street.
Score Goal: Convince everyone that Ogre [Clarence McMadrial] is the mastermind.
- Echoe Mae: Ink Rake who still holds a grudge about the DSS hoarding Strathmill Hall (their first lair).
Downtime: Acquire Asset (Thena Hellyers) to expel Ogre from Charter from the Charter & Charterhall University. Thena knows something is up [3/4 ticks]
Engagement: Deceive Echoe into reporting on Ogre as the mastermind behind the DSS. Trick Echoe into seeing the show down. [DSS on the front page of the Gazette 3/6 ticks]
They have a big fight that draws a crows. “It’s your fault Elke left!” Echoe gets the scoop. Echoe shares with the Ciphers who share with Yarin and Boil. She also tells the Charterhall staff schedule coordinator Candra Boden, who works in Kinclaith Hall.
NPC: Mort (secretary, plump, overworked)
Jadvyga “files” away something in Thena Hellyers office and pockets the form which initiates an academic senate investigation.
Overhears Thena and Warden Bakoros talking about his disregard for Chaterhall’s autonomy. [DSS on the front page of the Gazette 6/6 ticks]
Harland makes Ogre “look” beat up…by beating him up. From Ogre “When I get out, one of the third floor rooms is mine!”
Bring him to frost and turn him in “He’s the one behind all of this.”
Frost takes Ogre in but he’s being questioned and it almost ends his close friendship with Hix. They all convince him that Hix doesn’t want to be seen with them.
Ro and Jadvyga, at the Devil Hunter’s Hall. Ro looking for a place to sleep late at night, walking around with a pillow and a blanket. Knocks on her door “Did you miss me?”
“I think you missed me!” Jadvyga lets him in.
Ogre Questioned [+1 Heat]. Time in Ironhook. Doesn’t make waves.
