Our heroes, a teenage sorceress, a young ex-mercenary-turned sentinel,  a non-binary thief and a drug-addict sentinel own a herbalist's shop called The Spry Linden with a secret library inside.It's Fall, with the festival of the Running Leaves about to start, with its many competitions and races, like the gondola race.They receive the visit of a servant from the House Farina, an influent Mercanti family who rose to power by importing from the shores of the Serpentine dry food made from wheat with my funny forms (basically, pasta). They are given the mission to recover a cookbook: Aunt Farina's Tasty Pots which would contain a recipe that could secure the Farina's victory on the "Eel in the pot", a famous culinary contest for the best eel bisque with its rouille.To cut a long story short, Donatella Farina, head of the family, suspects an old lover of hers, Romero Ferrati, an influent noble, to be in possession of this book that actually belongs to her family. Our heroes negotiate their fees, then go and see a contact at the Land Registry to get the Ferrati's manor's plans. They bribe the clerk with a painted winged seahorse miniature.Finally, they discuss how to infiltrate the house during the week-long reception held at the old manor. The thief even spends a Scurrilous Luck point to find and steal some Architect Guild's clothes in at a laundry opposite the Land registry office.And that's the end of the session.In this group, there's a player who is brand new to tabletop RPGs, and she told us that the simplicity of the system and of the open-ended aspect of the setting was really helping her to get into the game and that she had a great time. The three others did as well by the way (and so did I, but that is quite obvious actually).Next session in one week.</blockquote>
