Session One - Finding the Right Buyer
General Summary
The Deal
The crew has received an opportunity to move a hot item by their previous employers - The Wraiths. The hot item is a brass mask - an item reserved for and used exclusively by the Spirit Wardens to find the bodies and spirits of the recently deceased.
The crew decided to find a buyer using a mutual contact, Roland. Roland, is a magistrate, but has been known to do dealings with other elites who fancy commodities outside of Duskwall law. Roland has arranged for them to attend a mascarade ball in Silkshore. There they will be able to rub shoulders with citizens with extra coin and a penchant for curios.
They leverage a connection with the Gondoliers to secure passage to the ball, and arranged for
Hix and
Britches to attend while
Silo and
Garrus waited outside. Inside the ball, Hix and Britches quickly make friends and find a contact who may be interested. They meet Francis Dominic Smith, and after quite a few drinks, proposition him with an item he may be interested in. After expressing interest he agrees to follow them to a meeting spot - Bad Luck Bar.
At the bar the crew takes him to a back room where they show him the goods. He is intrigued but skeptical. After trying the mask on he seems convinced and a price is arranged. He concludes the sale and leaves the bar. The crew is suspicious of the deal and send Britches out to scout the entrance/exit of the bar to ensure there have been no shady dealings. Francis is outside and speaking with a large squad of Blue Coats. Britches is able to sneak by under disguise, but the Blue Coats enter the bar and move to arrest the crew. Francis claims that they have had to have stolen the valuable artifact (though makes no comment of him purchasing or now holding said artifact). After some negotiations, Hix gets the Blue Coats to agree to searching them and stripping them of any belongings they hold, but being let free. The crew returns back to their lair with the pay (but give the Wraiths their cut).
