Message: <blockquote data-quote="drnuncheon" data-source="post: 469201" data-attributes="member: 96">Yes, please!  I could use one too!(you know its bad when the DM confuses himself)It's all very simple you see.  Tensin Naïlo is blackmailing Torsten Roth, whose warehouse he uses for narcotics smuggling.  Torsten is selling him out to the Dragon's Claw, who want to take over the underworld of the City of Freeport, just like they did in Highgate.  Ulric Dragosani is the local head of the Dragon's Claw, but he wants more than just the underworld, he wants the entire city.  He kidnaps Nifur Roberts to get control over Capt. Marcus Roberts, and uses that influence to start a citywide crackdown on crime, aimed at eliminating his competition or at least driving them underground.  Meanwhile, Tensin uses emotional blackmail to get his daughter Dru to abandon the watch and rejoin him.Ulric tries to import the new wheel-lock firearms manufactured in Highgate by Kolter Clockworks, but his plan is foiled by Dru and Di'Fier, who split the guns between them.  Using magic, the Dragon's Claw locates the guns and figures out what happened.  Meanwhile, using good old-fashioned bribery, Dru locates the missing Nifur Roberts and the Naïlos and the SCU team up for a rescue - discovering that Dragosani wants the succession law to be repealed.Lady Elise Grossette and Arias Soderheim both want to become the Sea Lord, as does purported Drac descendant Andrea Blax.  Soderheim, apparently with the backing of the Dragon's Claw, somehow manages Blax to murder Lady Elise, and then frames Dru and Di'Fier for involvement in the murder (via the possession of the guns).  Di'Fier is imprisoned, but rescued by Dru and her new serpentman followers, who have come because of the Jade Serpent of Yig.  Meanwhile, Tensin arranges for a meeting of the criminal heads of Freeport, but vanishes shortly before it, leading some to suspect foul play from his right-hand enforcer and Dru's fiancé, Galanodel (also missing).  The guns that were handed over to the Watch mysteriously vanish before winding up in the custody of the Sea Lord's Guard, and Naïlo mages discover a third cache of weapons in the basement of the Merchant's Guild.  Dru and Di'Fier call in a favor from Judge Ubu (last seen chained to a bed in the Jolly Roger) and sic the SCU on the Guild, hoping to prove Roth's involvement.So now all our heros have to do is stop Soderheim from being elected Sea Lord and drive the Dragon's Claw out of Freeport once and for all.  If they survive their encounter with Ulric Dragosani...Whew.  I think I covered everything...since the 'Mob War' storyline is over in game play I'll be happy to take questions from the audience. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />J</blockquote>
