CONTENT WARNING – The Players have been planning an assassination, and it is a brutal one. You have been warned!

It’s go time, but Winnie still has some lingering doubts about the mision

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Heart, Resistance, Spire on 18 April 2021 by Mawdrigen

They are finally ready to go. The Ministries Eyes have everything they need, including a large amount of Doom Rock which seems like it may be instrumental. First they must get Stephanie Van Der Mal’s Trainer out of the way. A Plan which involves following him then plying him with noxious substances to knock him out.

They cannot possible mess this up right?

The Ministries Eyes continue to both surveil and investigate their target, and slowly come to terms with the enormity of what they are about to attempt. Can they find a way to get to Stephanie Van Der Mal without getting caught, or are they going to be burned no matter what?

Posted in Actual Play, Fourth 100, Podcasts with tags Heart, Resistance, Spire on 21 March 2021 by Mawdrigen

The Ministries Eyes need some way of getting more information on what the inside of Stephanie Van Der Mal’s Manor house looks like. But there is a problem, it turns out they don’t really have any way of doing that. Or do they?
As they muse on their possibilities, they also come to realise that they may be able to achieve what they need in a unusual manner, thanks to the gifts of the Spider Mother.

They have the target set, but little to no idea of how to get at her. With Winnie off doing her own thing, the other three resort to more direct surveillance. The secret to a successful assassination is good intelligence it seems, The question becomes, are the Ministries Eyes up to the job?

With the Target set the Ministries Eyes realise that they actually don’t know the first thing about assassinations and probably need to work out who the target is, where they are, and how to get at them.

They have to get Down-Spire, but they really don’t want too use the guarded stairs. Which means… Climbing down the chains that keep Middle Perch from tumbling down to the ground. A hard climb, a dangerous climb, and one with more dangers than just falling screaming a mile to their deaths.

Reaching the Maskless Enclave the Ministries Eyes have to talk their way through the door, through the Enclave, and further down Spire. Will Iolath rise to the requirement, and can he persuade Talons-Ripped-From-A-Hawks-Claw to help them?

The ministries eyes have managed to get Dundarron Hendry a whole level down… by walking down the stairs. Now they must get down further, preferably without being seen or worse captured. To get down further they need to go to various insalubrious locations, starting with the Masksless Enclave. If they can get there.

Escaping from the Assassin is definitely the name of the game, but they also need to get the notes, ad they are in the university. Then they need to get downspire without anyone spotting them, stopping them, or killing them

All in a days work.

The plan to stash an academic in the Vermissian has hit an unintended snag, in the form of a red armoured ballistic Drow through his window. The Ministries Eyes will need to work fast if they are to keep him in one piece given the Axe she’s wielding!

With their target located and the vague beginnings of a plan the Ministries Eyes begin to try and find a place to stash Dundarron Hendry once they “persuade” him to come with them. However to find a place the long arm of the Aelfir cannot reach, which is precious few places in Spire

Stag Mask’s mission seems gloriously vague and the Ministries Eyes seem to already be making good progress, it is however just a matter of time before everything goes horribly wrong. With Winnie being chatted up by the Target and Luna terrifying random people what could go wrong?

With a name for the Midwife, Niadis Sulham, the Ministries Eyes now have to work out where in Spire she is and more importantly where the eggs she has taken are. It won’t be easy with a building a mile high and thousands of buildings crammed into it, but they have to try. Step one, find out about this renegade, and what she is up to.

The Ministries Eyes know how the eggs were taken and have a lead in Cobasas the Gnoll loanshark, but it doesn’t seem likely that he is the culprit; rather he is a catspaw for someone else. Can they get him to spill the beans on who requested his help? If they do, dare they hunt them down?
