[QUOTE="Isklexi, post: 5938065, member: 6684948"] Man, It's been a while since we had a full session; real life with its annoying habit of getting in the way. The constables covered quite a bit of ground over two sessions. Dorn Feldman (the party's mole in the Family) clued them in to some smuggling in Bosum Strand. After talking with the enforcers on the docks, the party decided to talk with Morgan. From interrogating Simon Langfield, and speaking with Morgan, the party discovered how to get in contact with the weapons smuggler Kaja Stewart. Cippiano also let the constables know that he prizes his privacy and that they wouldn't be hearing from Mr Feldman again. Irony had received a strange letter demanding she kill Rock Rackus. She was immediately suspicious, because the mystics had never contacted her by letter before (and the partially affixed wax seal made her think the letter had been tampered with). The party arranged a meeting with Kaja at the subway construction. The party asked too many questions, and Kaja went on the offensive. The players loved Kaja (the cannon was a real crowd pleaser). They took her back to RHC for interrogation. Kaja clued them on to the well dressed Tiefling that was the source of the ancient staff and the other two artifacts. The constables had decided to keep the existence of the sword and amulet a secret (Cal's pronounced interest in the staff has made the constables paranoid). Kirk recalled seeing a Tiefling that matched the description at the museum some years ago (he was being celebrated for various donations to the Ancient's exhibit). The constables decided to head to the museum in the morning to track down the mysterious Danoran. When the constables returned in the morning, Kaja was dead. The party quickly determined foul play was at work, and Irony detected the faint "scent" of the bleak gate. Kirk immediately searched the basement up and down, discovering a recently painted section of wall hiding a rusted iron ring. The constables suspect this was the work of an insider, and now they aren't sure if they can trust anyone. The players and I liked Kaja for her memorable combat; I may find a way to bring her back. After all, the party will be out of the city for days, and they're leaving Cal to his own devices. On the way out, Kirk was pulled aside by Serena, the new team lead on the Macbannin case. She asked for their help with an unusual crime scene. The constables searched the strange crime scene up and down. They determined the time of death for the victim and quickly suspected the metal mage Leone from the use of bent metal bars as restraints. Irony used the last sight ritual to see the last moments of the victims life. This confirmed the murderer as Leone Quital and that there was a third person in the room (the third person was out of sight of the victim but sounded like a woman in distress).
