Session 2-6: The Trial

The Baker's Dozen is put on trial for the crime of arson. They are found responsible and fined 2,500 g.p. Their reputation is severely damaged by the association with the crime.

In the following days, Dell is relieved of membership in the Carpenters Guild and business at the bakery slows to a halt. Neighbors who once stopped for friendly chats now pass quickly and avoid eye contact. Even as martial law is slowly rescinded, guards remain suspiciously common in Spelt Square and beyond.

Seven days after their release, a red-scarfed youth enters Spelt Square and dismisses the guards with a deft exchange of coins. Skinny Pete and two others enter the bakery with a proposition.

Skinny Pete's Job

Archie O'Tierney, current Porters Guild Master, is demanding too much and sacrificing too little. Skinny Pete wants him removed within 48 hours. The more bloody and public, the better.

Pete offers 200 g.p. each, plus a 100 g.p. each bonus if the crew gets to O'Tierney in the guild hall during the day.

Reputation Yield + Rep: Fledgling Thieves' Guild - Rep: Porters Guild

A Mysterious Note

After Pete leaves, a note appears on the bakery door though no one saw it being placed.

"An associate of mine met an unfortunate end. His body resides in the West Dock Side guard station. Bring the head to the old graveyard in 24 hours and I will reward you in gold."

Reputation Yield + Rep: Unknown benefactor - Rep: Unknown

Rebel Alchemists

Later that evening, a hooded woman pounds on the bakery door and pleads for sanctuary. She identifies herself as Pisto and explains that she and her friends broke into the tower of the wizard Vibaris to steal back a book called Devilish Distillations by Oriana Andal. They failed, and Vibaris hunts her now.

She asks the crew to retrieve the book, then find a man with a green scarf at the Lamplighter and hand him a golden pin marked with a gothic letter A.

Pisto offers no immediate reward, but helping the Rebel Alchemists may prove valuable. If the crew is going, they must go immediately.

Reputation Yield + Rep: The Rebel Alchemists - Rep: None if the crew succeeds
