Tonight was a tough one. The crew started by having Weaver brought back into The Gambit after his “interrogation” by the Bluecoats. After getting him set in bed, Ruby and Oscar said their goodbyes and parted ways. Cue downtime.
Oscar indulged his vice by stalking his family, (yes im serious) clearing 4 stress over 2 rolls. He also worked on his Hull project. Completing the outer hull component, but at a cost of 2 coin plus a result of a 6 on his tinker roll.
Lyric indulged her vice with a visit to the Hooded Proprietor. Creating a “sensory derivation chamber” with a silence potion. Clearing 4 stress She then trained in some Prowess with a Leviation Hunter Captain, Noggs Keel.
Weaver continued his quest to bind the Demon, Azarax, to his will. After much expended effort (and a not insignificant amount of coin) he was finally successful. Binding the Demon which has followed him for many years.
After downtime was finished, the crew was greeted by Hestor, a vampire and current ally of the crew who also is a key part in locating Lyrics mother. Hestor had one of the crews Skulks with him, who had been beaten and interrogated to discover that Weaver had been the one to steal a Spirit Bottle from Hestor previously. Hestor stated without doubt that unless the crew handed Weaver over to the Bluecoats, their business dealings would be cut off. Meaning Lyric would not be able to use him to find her mother. Lyric made the choice to surrender Weaver to the Bluecoats in order to retain the services of Hestor. Weaver swore to Hestor that when he got out, they would see each other again. And Weaver was taken away in chains by his rival Darmot the Bluecoat.
The final act of the evening was the incarceration roll. A CRIT ladies and gentlemen. A CRIT! And with that, Weaver ensured that he would leave more of an impact on Ironhook, than Ironhook left on him. As part of a devils bargain for that roll though, Weaver when he returns will be changing playbooks.
This was my last session with this group for the time being. (I play Weaver) Because of some recent job changes I will no longer be available at out scheduled playtime. I intend to return once I am able, but I do not know when that is.
