Here are a few thoughts about our next score.

I feel like we have a good potential customer base. The Grinders dabble in the Arcane, the Circle of Flame is all about that shit, we have Nyelle, and Rake has multiple contacts that could be interested (Scurlock, Setarra, even Nyryx). What we seem to be missing is supply. I have a few ideas for potential sources and scores associated:

1. The Leviathan Hunters: Echo has connections to the city's High Society. A lot of the nobles are or sponsor Leviathan Hunters. Maybe she knows of an unscrupulous one who uses their travels to bring back interesting artefacts. Being all (former) nobles, we could provide them with a service more akin to something someone of their station would prefer. If they have to deal with shady characters, it might as well be shady characters with manners. Could be a good setup for a social score.

2. Spirit Wells: If we could secure access to a Spirit Well, we'd have a steady source of spirit essence and maybe even spirits to sell. It would probably piss off The Dimmer Sisters and/or The Gondoliers, though. Nyelle or Nyryx could point us in the direction of a Spirit Well. Could be a score where we fight off the current people exploiting it or con them out of it.

3. The Deathlands: There's a faction called the Deathlands Scavengers who are exiled eking out a living outside the city. They scavenge for artefacts which they sell for coin to buy pardons. We don't really have ins with these people, but maybe Nyelle does. If we can secure a spot where we can trade with them, they could bring us a steady supply or weird stuff. Could be a social score or clearing out a route of its current in-occupants. Depends who they're dealing with currently (Rail Jacks, Silver Nails, Fog Hounds, or someone else?).

What do y'all think?

Love them all!!

Having a change of pacing in the type of score we do could be cool, also the possibility of exploring how the Helkers manage an environment they hadn't been in for years (except for Echo) sounds interesting
We could use the auction later to move some of the artifacts or find people interested in moving artifacts of their own.

Maybe we could find one and propose the Dimmer Sisters something to get on their good side? We might loose at first but could go into earning their neutrality at least.

We can secure a route for them so they become our clients for smuggling stuff in and be the in-between for the auctioneers.

After reading them all I realized this sound more like Hawkers type of score, though I wouldn't mind doing a bit of both ha ha[/quote]

Punched in the dice wrong but that's a 4. I rolled 2 dice, figured +1 for base, +1 for exploiting a vulnerability.

Skirmish against the Hull
https://orokos.com/roll/855516
That is a 5

Echo's Score 5 Load: Normal 0/5

To summarize an earlier message in line - starting a clock for fighting this hull, 0/4 to start.

Consequence for that mixed result will be reduced effect, so that instead of 2 ticks on the clock you only get 1. Let me know if you want to resist that consequence or not, if you resist it will be at 2/4, if not the clock will be 1/4.

Resistance Prowess
https://orokos.com/roll/855803
That is a 5 so only 1 stress

Ok, so fighting the hull clock is at 2/4! A strong start indeed.
