Hit and Run

Originally published August 24th 2024

Heading back to the Wildling’s Head Inn the crew connected a plan. Licorice and Giancarlo use their combined skills to create a document bearing the official marks of Mr. Radoslav Neville in hopes of bringing it to Adolfo to let them gather more information.

Forged documents in hand they make their way back to the Munce Shipyard. Calmly, Adolfo takes out some miniscule reading glasses from his breast pocket, and quickly reads the documents. He puts his glasses back into the pocket.

“I know that this isn’t Mr. Neville’s signature.”

Giancarlo panics

“Of course not, he is a busy man he just had someone else sign in his place”

“We don’t take kindly to liars here”

Yulia mutters under her breath attempting to call upon her animist gods, hoping to unleash a potent paralysis, but in the city the spirits are weakened, and is unable to do much of anything.

“Get your hands off me” Adolfo Snarls.

Holly she’s her chance and decks him, hitting him right in the temple, knocking him out cold.

Using some rope and a sack from Licorice and Richard they tie him up and blind him. Licorice steals his nice work shoes and 8 kopeks from his body.

Heading into a room behind the entranceway they find shelves of manifest and documents, but as they begin to search someone from a room even more interior tries to open the door.

Richard as quick as he can puts a chair in front of it to block it off.

“Adolfo what’s the meaning of his the door is blocked”

“Oh let me deal with that” Richard stutters out in a poor impression of Adolfo.

“Who the hell are you? What are you doing here?”

Holly grabs the documents related to the saint Demezla and the group makes a mad dash out of the building.

Snaking their way through the spiderweb canals of Piskaro the crew finds themselves lost, but they see it. A small crack in the stonework next to the canal, wishing to remain hidden they enter in. It’s dark and they can hear the flowing of water but they see it, buried under silt and mud a small hatch with the shape of a grail.

Licorice realizes they have stumbled upon a grail tomb. And judging by how new the collapsed stone is they may be the only ones to know about it.
