The intel gathered by the RHC on Leone’s trail  pointed to him traveling to Allais Primos, but that was months ago. The  party had Irony perform an object reading on the letter from Grappa to  determine where the letter came from. Irony received a series of visions  on the letter’s journey culminating in witnessing a shady man getting  off a train and dropping the letter off at a building with a sign that  read “Mirsk Central Post Office”. The constables decided to head  straight to the Drakran city of Mirsk rather than chase after Leone’s  months cold trail in Crisillyir. The Arboretum could make the trip to  Trekhom in a little over 3 days. The constables planned to let their  crew handle the voyage and teleport to the ship after helping around  Flint. Kirk instructed the crew to make the journey in roughly 4 days,  so the party would have time to work in Flint and rendezvous with the  ship before it made port in Trekhom. The constables wouldn’t have to  worry about the shipwreck problem anymore thanks to their détente with  Beshela. That left them to help with Cauldron Hill, the Docker riots,  and Pemberton’s factories.The Constables didn’t really have a workable solution to close the rift  atop Cauldron Hill, and they weren’t willing to ask Calaphax for help.  They visited Pardwight University and rounded up the professors that  specialized in portals and extraplanar magic. The experts had a few  educated guesses for ways to seal the rift, but they would need to visit  the rift while it was active to collect data necessary to come up with a  concrete solution. With Captain Dale’s forces spread thin across the  mountain, the constables had to escort the team of researchers to the  summit at midnight. The party was able to fend off the undead and keep  the expedition safe during their observations. The researchers will  still need time to parse through the information they collected and work  out the best way to shut down the rift. The constables may yet be  called on again to help implement the solution once it’s ready.The constables took a day to search Pemberton’s factories for anything  dangerous. They didn’t find any actual duplicants, but they did find  that some of the factories were manufacturing components that could be  used to make duplicants elsewhere. The constables left investigating  paper trails to the RHC’s forensic accountants after they had confirmed  that there was nothing overtly dangerous in the factories. They  suggested to Governor Stanfield that the majority of Pemberton’s assets  in the city could be auctioned off once RHC personnel had finished  collecting evidence. They did ask that one of the factories be set-aside  for something of a social experiment to help with the worker riots.[gm]The  players brought up a good point in that their characters weren’t really  suited to following up on financial records and shipping manifests.  They rightly figured that the RHC should have analysts and accountants  that aren’t highly trained paramilitary forces for jobs like this. They  also convinced Stanfield to ensure that any given industrialist could  only buy up one of Pemberton’s factories as an “antitrust” measure. They  were mostly concerned about Calaphax’s growing influence (and he did  buy one of the factories). They still haven’t really told anyone that  he’s a devil though.[/gm]  Doran talked things over with Thames Grimsley and managed to get a  written endorsement from Rock Rackus before he ran off on an adventure  (I don’t think he really read what he was signing). The constables came  up with a bit of a social experiment to placate the city’s worker union.  The docker’s would agree to dial back the protesting (and riots) while  the local police would also exercise more discretion. The docker’s union  would gain ownership of one of Pemberton’s factories to run and manage  as they saw fit. This would act as a proof of concept on how effective  running a factory without abusing the workers could be. The constables managed to set up a framework solution for the problems  the Governor had in their three-day window. They didn’t have time to see  any of them to completion but left the people of Flint with workable  plans in place. The party then teleported to their ship as it came  within sight of Trekhom’s port. At least getting through Drakran customs  wouldn’t be as taxing as the past three days…</blockquote>
