Ran my first game tonight of Blades, for 2 of my 3 players

The PC’s

* Thread – A Tycheros doctor w/ raven feathers for hair (Leech)

* Map – A disgraced Imperial soldier from The Dagger Isles (Cutter)

The Crew – Professional Shadows who lair is an abandoned house, down an alley in Six Towers

The Hunting Grounds – Espionage in the Nightmarket

They were approached by a Skovlander tattooist that goes by “Jerry” that is feed up with Ulf Ironborn’s rampages making it hard for her and other honest Skovlanders just trying to work and live in the city. “His actions are hurting us!” So, she tells the crew how Ironborn has been bragging about “acquiring” some of Red Sashes drugs he has stashed at his gambling den. The crew decided to buy some of the drugs from Ironborn and then take it back to Red Sashes.

Sadly, the Engagement Roll was not good. They are at the right place but if they wanted to see Ironborn, they will have to beat his second, Havid in a fight! They walk in and Map calls out Havid. As soon as Havid rises up from the bar, Map pulls out a gun and shoots him…with Success! Havid flies over the bar and now the rest of Ironborn’s men (4) try to put the beatdown on Map. Meanwhile, Thread tries to cross the bar to heal Havid.

Map has a hard time with the fight but with a Devil’s Bargain, (Skovlander ruffians will occasionally call him out in the future to test their mettle against him) he shows he is worthy of an audience with Ulf Ironborn. Thread does a quick patch-up job of Havid and talks with Ironborn about buying a box of the drugs. Since neither Thread or Map are Akorosi, he is willing to sell a box to them. Transaction are made and the two of them leave with a box half filled with 4 Black Lotus vials.

Thread & Map make a dash to the Red Sashes headquarters, but they have to convince a Gondolier to get them across (which they do). They get to the dock and Thread has a meeting with Mylera Klev while Map waits dockside (he looks like a bloody wreck). Mylera Klev thanks Thread for the information, pays her for her hard work, and tells Thread she might have use of this crew’s skill in the future. After her people deal with Ulf Ironborn’s meddling. Thread & Map head back to their lair in Six Towers.

Entanglements: Map gets questioned by the Bluecoats about the reports of a shooting in a certain bar. Map pays off the Bluecoats with most of the money they got from the Red Sashes and ponders when will their third partner will get out of Ironhook Prison so they can set up a bigger score.
