Scarcely Safe Drop¶

The Wraiths do covert rooftop drops of luxury items. We should be able to steal one and use the proceeds to increase our claims.

We learned of a drop to the roof of Larry's Medical Goods. A map showing the locations of leviathans to hunt is likely in the building as well. We case the place and meet Larry.

Plan¶

Plan: Stealth
Detail: infiltrate Larry's Medical Goods
Engagement Roll: [6, 4, 4, 5, 6] = 6 Critical Success

Score¶

Vesper attunes to try to find a clear way through

- The Wraiths might employ ghosts as guards
- ghosts feel his presence and are more on edge now

Vesper attunes a second time to learn more
- Hex supports
- takes a devil's bargain
  - any time we'd use this drop, we take 2
- [2, 6, 3, 1] = 6 Full Success
- we know a location, but not sure if it's the drop, keys, or map
Hex and Echo go downstairs
- gently brush into trip wires and somehow avoid setting off the trap

Echo uses a lamp to study the wires
- there are many of them
- Hex helps

Hex and Echo continue to explore the basement
- it's really damp and dark down here
- find a free-standing safe sunk into the mud
- there's a tunnel out that goes on for further than we can see with lanterns

Hex uses a stethoscope to listen to the safe dial
- hears more clicks than expected, might be a trap

Echo tries to disarm the bomb
- flashback to learn more about past Wraith traps
- Echo pushes himself
- Hex assists
- [4, 3, 6, 5] = 6 Full Success
- trap disarmed
Hex opens the safe
- inside we find a map of leviathan locations

Vesper JB, and Jackal reach the roof
- a man dressed like one of The Wraiths is pacing the rooftop, guarding the drop

Vesper tries to sway the guard
- his name is Ricky
- try to figure out what his cut is from the operation, maybe we'll offer more?
- [1, 6, 4, 5] = 6 Full Success
- Ricky says tunnels connect to canals
- someone must have found the tunnels and come up that way
- Jackal paid Ricky off with 1

we can get 2 when we do espionage or sabotage
