Session 5, Scene 2: The first job

Plot points/Scenes

Once the gang have helped tidy up in The Clean Slate, the AdSoc talk to them about a job they can do.

The job

The AdSoc explain that they're planning a job that the gang can do if they want to.

The target

Vern Hamlin, a candidate for the council office of one of Caffeinehagen's boroughs. He's a member of the Investor's Guild, and runs a well known hedge fund - Alpha Authority. Vern is a very vocal capitalist, the self proclaimed "prophet of profit", and his brash, dog eat dog style has made him a quite famous, but very divisive personality.
He's been transitioning into a political career recently, forming his own "Alpha Party", based on the mantra that those who are "Alpha" enough to take what they want from life should take their rightful place as the leaders of the world. During his early campaigning, Vern has been flaunting extreme wealth in his public appearances, and a recent display of wealth has left the AdSoc wanting to cut him down to size a little.

What we're stealing

The High Tusk Locket - an ancient heirloom from a community of Loxodon from Taurinestein. Vern recently offered the struggling community a ridiculous amount of money for the locket - a simple chain from which hangs various charms that Loxodon master craftsmen painstakingly sculpted from ivory taken from the tusks of their fallen leaders - traditionally worn by the current leader of the community as a reminder of the past and the importance of maintaining the community going into the future. In a public display of wealth and power, Vern bought the locket from the leader of the Loxodon community to give to his wife.

Where it is

At Vern's mansion on the Latte cliffs.
