Session 78 - Raise the Stakes
General Summary
Sasha and Finn hung around in the Lucky Crown, where Finn was given a note by Shen to meet him at a more hidden table nearby in 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, Hamilton faced off against Jinskarr in Liar’s Dice. After losing the first round, Jinskarr insisted on “raising the stakes” to betting fingers. Hugo forced Hamilton into the game, and after several rounds, both sides lost a few fingers off their left hands, with Hamilton being left with his index and ring fingers.
As he was about to cut his third finger off, Hamilton took the knife and stabbed Jinskarr in the chest with it, severely wounding him. Hugo slammed Hamilton’s head on the table, and as Jinskarr recovered, Hamilton egged him on to finish the job and kill him.
Sasha and Finn rushed up the stairs to check out all the commotion. Seeing Hamilton in trouble, Sasha tried to rush forward and attack Hugo, but Finn stopped her and instead confronted Jinskarr and asked what had happened. Jinskarr responded by telling Finn, in gruesome detail, about Captain Grimm's death at his hands.
Jinskarr then offered Finn a deal: Hamilton’s life, for Finn’s arm. Finn immediately accepted, and handed it over. The Misfits were forced out of the casino afterwards.
Outside, Hamilton expressed his frustration and desire to get back inside and kill Jinskarr and his men. He confided in Sasha and Finn about his concern for how Delilah would react when seeing him in such a state. Sasha and Finn were able to calm Hamilton down, and reassure him that, no matter what, they would always love and care for him.
Shen came out and apologized for what happened. He told the party about how he and the rest of the crew had left the Mainland years ago for a better life, only to crash on a small island. After years and years on that island, Jinskarr washed up there as a child and, as he grew up, took control of the crew and led them to Mainfair. Through unknown means, he secured a bunch of Revolt.
Shen admitted he had enjoyed the perks of his position, but was sick of it and ashamed of himself now. He gave the party a list, which he explained was filled with the names of people meant to move the cache of Revolt from island-to-island. And the next name on the list was: Dimo Densharr.
Shen said his goodbyes, and the party set out to find a way back to Mainfair. Finn ran into Beartrap, who explained he was at the Lucky Crown on a “secret project”. Finn easily goaded Beartrap into giving them a ride back, after which Beartrap departed with his pull-wagon.
The party went to the Wreck to catch up with Port and Grant. They found them at the usual spot at the bar, and got them up to speed on what happened. Finn pushed Grant to tell him where the Reapers' ship was, and after some inspiring words, he agreed to help.
With a plan in place, Sasha and Hamilton set out to talk to Dimo, while Finn and Grant went to the Reapers’ ship remains...
