(Each take a harm.) - Arden and Milos look out the smoke bomb, and he hurries off to see what's up… - Arden kisses him on the lips before he goes (failed roll, I don't distract him) - She is still focused on his attractive widowspeak instead of looking at the guests she is standing with… (another failed roll) - There's a guard by the office… and Andrei goes to sneak up on the guard and toss another vial… - Guard spots Andrei… and Crowl uses this as an opportunity to take him down… but takes a batton to the ribs in the meanwhile (+1 harm) - Andrei starts trying to break the lock of the office door… and three failed dice rolls! This score is CURSED! - Milos and three guards come running - Crowl drops the vial on themself… and gets a level 2 harm with a migraine - Flashback to Arden at dinner… she gets the sense that Milos has something planned… - So she sends a note back to her staff, and has them watch the grounds… - …when they see Crowl and Andrei cause enough of a distraction, she has them steal a mid-tier boat so that they get some level of payout - This distracts the guards and Andrei throws a grenade at the guards - Massive fireball, but Andrei and Crowl manage to escape - Arden just sips champagne - Settling out the job: - +2 rep - Crew XP: 2 - Heat: 3 - Entanglements: - Windows have been smashed at the Silk & Secrets, and a threatening message scrawled on the doors
