Session 2: Weeks 2 & 4

Plans of Auction

• A team of skilled & unskilled labor is brought in to shore up the area immediately surrounding the livable section and bring all portable items to the front parlor for consideration.
• The newly opened sections of the house are searched, and the material brought to the parlor is sorted through by family members.
• Arras spends several days at the records office, searching on father's old dealings.
• Bastion spends several days in the secret study, attempting to decipher father's old notes.

Consulting Services

• Bastion attempts to extort a payment from one of the Father's old "consulting" contracts. He bungles the price, however, and it is rejected.
• Tertius and Setarra set to make good on the threat. The ship is boarded under cover of a storm, and while the ship is not destroyed, much of the valuable cargo is looted. Tertius and Setarra head off to "Paris" to fence the stolen good and lay low for the remainder of the week.

Orphanage Entanglements

• Tertius, Edward, Setarra, and Jedmund check into the shady dealings with the Viceroy, attempting to discover counter-blackmail which can be used to get him off our back.
  • Viceroy is a patron of several local orphanages
  • Children 'disappearing' out of these orphanages is a known occurrence, they sometimes return after a short while, acting strangely.
• A twelve-year-old child, Septus, was discovered at an orphanage. He bears a familial resemblance to Father.
  • The mother's name was discovered among Father's collection of letters of women who claimed they had his child, on an appropriate timeline.
  • The mother died of a drug overdose despite not being a known drug user.

Spy Haven
