[QUOTE="Deathwyrm, post: 7812657, member: 56957"] S04E01 The mission was clear. Clues in a letter said there's an important conspiracy meeting in Vendricce, an its up to the intrepid PCs to infiltrate a train and find out who is talking to who to shed some lights on all this stuff. Their plan? Assume a cover identity, get on the train, and use Finona Duvall as a defected agent loyal to the party who will identify any Obscurati agents by pretending to be a valuable recruit. Well, like all plans it didn't quite go according to how they expected. Careful time and consideration went into the crafting of their identities and oh boy were they excited to be spies. Det. Goodwyne became "Hank Prospane, and I sell steam and steam accessories". Purpose being there was he's on his way to make a big sale. Cycgod the ninja became "Skeekabaw, flamenco dance instructor to the noble houses of Lanjyr". Dr. Basch and Mikkel took upon the identity of "Lord Julian Mirari and his appointed duelist" The name of Dr. Brinolt escapes me, but the cover was "celebrity chef". He was also having some internal arguments with the consciousness of Xambria in his head and hating the idea of having anything to do with this Ob pawn who killed her dig team. Threm was comfortable enough being a generic passenger in coach class, just in case conspiracy agents are hiding there. As for the Ms. Duvall factor... there was no back up plan other than trusting her to connect with the Ob and report back to the gang. There were mission briefing scenes in which they pitched all kinds of offers to ensure her loyalty, including protection or even recruitment to the RHC. She clearly expressed [I]"Protection right? Where? Here? How'd that work for that mayor that died in holding a few months ago? In the building that just got attacked and a bunch of other people died?" "So, you're saying that my employers are a massive international secret conspiracy, occupy some of the higher levels of government, with a ludicrous amount of wealth, probably have other hired hit squads to clean up loose ends... and you want me to rat on them? No thanks, I'm good. If anything, I should be asking [/I]them[I] for protection from you people.[/I]" Despite her declarations of non-compliance, the group was so absolutely sure that she would have a change of heart when thrust into the situation that they simply gagged and manacled her for the ship voyage to Beaumont. How well did this plan go? Well, naturally Ms. Duvall ends up dead in a room. Rest of the session turns into a murder mystery. Mystery gets solved quickly when Chef Brinolt brings up in a secret discussion with the group [I]"So.... uhhh... there are some gaps in my memory and I'm pretty sure the archaeologist in my head did it."[/I] Having to deal with Finona's body on the train, and that reliance on her cooperation was pretty much their only plan, becomes a constant stressful element to the group for the rest of the season.
