This happens during the opening of [[Naughty Nook|The Naughty Nook]] at the [[Silk & Secrets]]. - We decide to spend the time repairing our relationship with the [[Gondoliers]], and get a meeting with a man name [[Wallace]]. - We have a location, but with the storm (rain, hail) - We can go through the tunnels (where we have mastery) but our boots would get messy… - Or we can find another method. - Crowl and Andrei take the tunnels. Arden takes a goat taxi, but is likely observed. - We make it to the storefront (pawn shop?) - Wallace holds out a piece of paper with a name ("[[Morlan Templeton]]") who is a tax collector. We also have a daguerreotype. - He's honest thus the [[Gondoliers]] want him dead. They can't do business with him. - The [[Gondoliers]] don't care how it goes… so long as it doesn't come back to haunt them. - The job will pay 3 coins - [[Morlan Templeton]] lives at a small government-based house for government employees… and the intent is we'd do it there - Crowl isn't able to do recon on the property… - Arden's architect for the Naughty Nook had worked on the property, and so she's able to get a copy of the plans - Rolled a 6; get a bonus die on the engagement roll - Andrei commands local gangs for… getting info. Basically for when he's alone or distracted…
