Session Report – Butcher’s Bill – Session 4

[This session happened April 17th, 2017, almost a month after the last session due to a variety of reasons.  The Other GM was running.  This is a short session.]

Void – female night elf physical adept B&E specialist, a shadow that blends in easily
Sin – male human rigger, knows exactly the wrong thing to say and says it
Prometheus – male human street samurai, handy with any firearm
The Fin – female human con artist and gambler from India, by way of Russia, posh and elegant
Baelthor – male human mage with a loud mouth, preaching the anti-corporate word

NPC’d
Bookie – male elf alcoholic hacker, favors whiskey with a whiskey chaser

[Same day, right after Session 3 left off.]
Void called in to Prometheus to report that she now knew of a secret backway onto Council Island.  Prometheus shared what the rest of the group had learned from questioning Twareg and the other two.  They discussed whether or not Void should pursue further and decided that it should still be safe enough to find out where Dawg went on Council Island.  Void used her Facial Sculpt power to shape her face into one of those on the passports she had [taken from the security checkpoint last session].

Bookie was contacted and asked to hack the Council Island Public Security camera system to track someone for 5,000¥.  Bookie accepted the job and hacked into the system.  In the video archive he found the recording of Dawg surfacing from the tunnel and then “followed” him in the recordings to the Lava Java Café.  Bookie switched to the live feed to verify that Dawg was still there.  He was, but he was now talking to a woman in a NAN military uniform.  Bookie called back to the Pleiades Group and reported what he had discovered.

Prometheus, Void, The Fin, Sin, and Baelthor held a quick conference call to discuss the situation.  If the NAN military was involved, this was much more than sending a message to the Disassemblers.  It was decided that Void would move to a point where she could physically watch the Lava Java Café while The Fin contacted Svetlana and asked for additional instructions.

Svetlana was very interested to learn that the entire attack was a false flag operation by the NAN.  She asked for all the data the Pleiades Group had put together and the three gangers, in exchange for which she would consider the job done.  The Vory would deal with Dawg themselves, now that they knew who his true masters were.

Pay was split 6 ways after paying Bookie’s fee: one share for Prometheus, Void, The Fin, Sin, and Baelthor and one share to the Pleiades Group General Fund.

End of Session


[So that ended quickly.  I had forgotten how short that session was until I started writing it up.  The next run, Operation: Parrot T-Rex, was run by The Fin’s player and was a bit more epic in scope and takes the Pleiades Group outside Seattle for the first time.]

[I don’t remember if I mentioned it before, but the group splits the pay by shares and always adds a share to the Pleiades Group General Fund.  The Fund pays for the office (a Middle lifestyle) and any incidentals or special equipment needed for a Pleiades Group run.  We found it was easier to handle it as a share rather than making characters give money back from their pay.  All the characters recognize the value of having a central fund so personal profits are not eaten up by job expenses.  We also keep a pool of reagents available for any of the spellcasters to access.  No reason to have a run fail because the mage passes out from Drain or because the spirit wants a bribe to talk.]
