[QUOTE="Ajar, post: 6130375, member: 85901"] In between the last session and this one, I re-read the section about the Vekeshi plot and decided that the assassin hasn't tried to kill Rock Rackus yet, so Rock Rackus is still safely in prison. [b]Session Notes[/b] Murdok visited Agnes Mildew, who was thrilled with the skull spoon from Bole, and received her package from the military. I believe her words were "That's awesome!" :) This is a player who likes mechanical rewards, so it's a good thing she's a Martial Scientist. Vesta checked on his apartment, and found nothing out of place. After regrouping, the party sent a runner to RHC HQ to find out from Delft if he wanted them to "officially" return to town yet. The runner came back with the following message: "You should get the f*#$ over here ASAP." Arriving at HQ, Delft immediately took them into his office. The Lady Saxby and Lord Viscount Price-Hill were upstairs, he said, and would want to meet with the PCs immediately. But he was glad they came to him first, because he wanted to warn them that Reginald was likely to be charged with murder. A letter and a sum of gold had been found at his residence... Because the PCs had played everything just about perfectly straight with Delft, I concluded that they had earned his confidence, so he told them that he was certain Reginald was being framed, and that he would stand up for them in the meeting when the time came. Then they all went upstairs. After a short spiel about rooting out corruption from the Lord Viscount, the Lady Saxby began going over the list turned up by the audit. [i]Item the first: Three scrolls of water breathing were provided to the squad for the Axis Island mission, and were not returned. Item the second: Constable Whitecliff's substance abuse problem has been noted. While no explicitly illegal activity was uncovered, importation of regulated substances such as powdered kraken beak for creation of a (level 13) elixir of fortitude is frowned upon. Further, this may or may not be tied to item the fourth... Item the third: The assistant to corrupt Mayor Reed Macbannin, Cillian Creed, was reported to have died resisting arrest. It is considered extremely poor form for constables to kill suspects. [/i] Delft interjected at this point that he debriefed them immediately after this battle, and was confident from their injuries that the death, while unfortunate, was indeed accidental. [i]Item the fourth: A search of Constable Whitecliff's home also uncovered a letter from Lorcan Kell, thanking Reginald for taking over Kaja Stewart's smuggling business and idenfitying weapon and ammunition importer Shane Smith as a threat to said business. A sum of 200 gp was also included. This is a matter of grave concern, and Constable Whitecliff is hereby relieved of duty while the investigation proceeds. [/i] Reginald deliberately acted stunned, pretending he didn't know this was coming, and asked numerous questions about what had been done with the letter -- in particular, he asked if the RHC had another level 5 spirit medium (since he knew Carlao's squad had a spirit medium) who could trace the letter's history. Unfortunately, the spirit medium in Carlao's squad is not level 5... Delft expressed his confidence that Reginald had been framed, noting that the squad had every reason to be enemies with Kell after his kidnapping and torture of Lynn Kindleton in the Theatre of Scoundrels, but even so they had turned down overtures from the Family to resolve the matter outside the bounds of the law. The Lord Viscount was pleased with this, but noted that the investigation would still have to proceed. He then told the squad that they had shown themselves to be better people than most, that he expected more of them than these slip-ups, and that he had high hopes for their futures, Reginald potentially excepted pending the results of the investigation. He then shooed everyone else out of the room except for Viveen, the goliath Yerasol Veteran, who he invited to the Governor's formal ball. After making clear that he wasn't hitting on her, Viveen accepted, and then left and immediately began talking to Murdok and Vesta about shopping for formal wear... After the meeting, they went back to Delft's office. He had Reginald turned in his badge, but told him that he could still "tag along" with the squad in an unofficial capacity while the investigation was conducted. We stopped with the players thinking about what to do next. Murdok mentioned that in light of what they'd seen at the ziggurat, they should probably give Rock Rackus' stories about visiting the moon a little more credence... [b]DM Notes[/b] The players definitely weren't expecting the meeting, which made it all the more fun for me. Now I'm picking out some songs for when they go talk to Rock Rackus. I haven't decided if I'm going to perform them myself, or send them audio links at the appropriate times. I think for the initial meet I'll go with Play the Blues by Danko Jones ("if you wanna know how to play the blues / get yourself a woman").
