General Summary
Steele Cast prefers his tea with sand and sea salt to “ground” the brew.
Steele Cast says the ghost Dreamflower ate had been trying to broker a detente between the Guild and The Timeless Order of Manacle and Coin.
Says the ghost and her father (also a ghost) were unusually focused on bettering the world compared to how most Ghosts are focused on their living lives.
Meanwhile, Fortifier of Hearts & Bones is making a jade visor to complete the last recovery scene for Haussmann Firewand, the blinded priest of Silent Eyes.
Steele Cast asks Dreamflower if he could make amends to Haussmann.
They were stressing out the gate staff.
They didn’t understand why the shipping hadn’t started yet.
Stelsor explained that the Council is holding that up, but we’re going to be recruiting for constructing the restaurant and the
Ving-Gosh is pretty interested in the construction projects.
Anja has more feline features now instead of lupine
We take the twins up to meet Steele Cast and Dreamflower.
Scene: Meeting with Ving-Gosh, Anya, Steele, Stelsor, Fortifier, Dreamflower
Steele wishes he could do something about the Guild’s plans but doesn’t really want to kill them or help them kill others.
We asked him about if he could tell us about some of the Guild’s plans so we could intervene in some of them to protect people. He remembers some things, but isn’t entirely sure which have happened or will happen since things he thought they were planning have apparently already occurred.
Dreamflower plans to use Silent Words of Dreams and Nightmares style working to investigate.
Stelsor plans an Infernal party with Trances of Vitriol and Warpstone for the 28th.
Scene: Inside the dreams of Steele Cast
Was given 4 masks from Nurlissa and tasked with beating 4 people the Guild didn’t like
There was a 5th victim he never got around to.
The 3 first victims
One was a minor functionary of the TZ
Timeless Order of Manacle & Coin Slaver boss
Fair Folk from the Firewander Market
4th one was Haussmann Firewander, who he wasn’t to kill but only blind.
To discern the 5th target, Dreamflower had to dig deeper.
Prognosticator Guildmistress Wandry, our neighbor.
Dreamflower wanted to know if he still has the masks
He recalls leaving them with some other equipment in the Guild’s Pyramidal headquarters (surrounded by the Guild)
In a very well-guarded area of the basement.
Dreamflower wanted to see if Steele had overheard any venture-ish things that Dreamflower could target for Bureau-Breaking Method.
The Guild was trying get the Council of Entities to rescind the law, at least in regard to the Guild.
Dreamflower’s sneaky plan
We give the “remains” of Nyeah to Nurlissa to make a mask.
Stelsor sneaks in with stealth
Dreamflower uses an identity she has
Fortifier wears the mask for Nurlissa to pose as Nyeah.
We bring Steele along.
Infiltrating the Guild Pyramid plan
Step 1: Anya sneaks in as a mouse and maps a route
Step 2:
Step 3: we get Steele Cast’s masks.
Step 4: exfiltrate with an earth elemental
Fortifier will navigate nearby through the tunnels of Hollow and summon an earth elemental which will then tunnel them out.
After they collect Steele Cast’s masks, they hear a shriek and Nyeah appears.
Fortifier successfully hears the shriek (he rolled 7 successes on 5 dice) and tries to get there before they lose the fight.
We improvised an Action Under Duress Venture
Storyteller decides that Fortifier will arrive on Round 3, but may be able to improve this depending on how the venture goes.
Obstacle #1 is to find the right door
Rolled Force + Navigation Only 5 dice, rolled 3 1’s and 1 8, so very close to a botch. In any case, it was against standard difficulty so he’s tied up for an extra round.
