Olivia’s Investigation
#- Detective Olivia Cooper, recently retired, begins the session by investigating a mysterious lockbox left in her name.
- Inside, she finds a set of color-coded journals authored by her grandson George, who was last known to be working with the Twilight Company.
- George’s notes detail a mysterious operation called Project Purple Patch, feuds among High Forge’s underground gangs, and a religious mission involving Father Jacob and Mother Asuka.
- George was last seen heading north on a pilgrimage tied to the Church of Tyr.
- Olivia finds a lead in the journals pointing toward a halfling named Finnegan, an information broker who has interfaced with both Twilight Company and the gang Iron Claws.
Reuniting the Crew
#- Silas, Red, and Olivia reconvene at a garage after a period of scattered rest.
- The party shares updates: Red reveals a Twilight Company hit order against “Healing Touch” — his parents — marked with a certified stamp.
- Silas confirms the order looks official, despite the Twilight Company not typically engaging in contract killings.
- The group decides to dig deeper into the Twilight Company’s network and determine how and why Red’s parents were targeted.
A Trip to the Cathedral
#- The trio visits the Cathedral of Tyr, which doubles as a courthouse and jail.
- Red grapples with the revelation that his pacifist beliefs may have been sheltered from the harsher doctrines of Tyr’s justice.
- Olivia secures a sealed letter of authority from the bishop, sanctioning her to investigate George’s disappearance on the Church’s behalf.
The Twilight Company Meeting
#- The group attends an open Twilight Company meeting held under a bar called the Little Hobble.
- Silas, under the alias Martin Birchwood, marks himself as a member using Thieves’ Cant to gain deeper access.
- Jobs listed at the meeting include car sabotage, political canvassing, artifact theft, and scouting missions — but no hit jobs, confirming the rarity of Red’s note.
- Olivia speaks with leaders including Cyrus, Rekha (tiefling), and Vector (dwarf), learning George last checked in from Lonnie’s Bar & Grill in Milstrom, en route to a shrine in the mountains.
Key Intel
#- Project Purple Patch appears compromised; Finnegan is on a mission to investigate, meeting someone called Lady Viper.
- Twilight Company’s hierarchy includes an inner circle; Olivia and Red are identified by name and purpose by members, especially the observant Rekha.
- Silas eavesdrops on internal discussions, learning about Twilight’s role in manipulating High Forge politics and counterbalancing the Iron Claws.
- Rekha seems especially astute and potentially suspicious of the group.
Next Steps
#- Travel to Milstrom to follow George’s trail from Lonnie’s.
- Consider pursuing sabotage missions to support Elspeth’s race effort.
- Uncover more about Finnegan, the Night Boys, and the true aim of Project Purple Patch.
Party Status
#- Olivia: Acting on church orders, equipped with official writ.
- Silas: Embedded in Twilight ranks under an alias.
- Red: Struggling with identity, loss, and implications of divine justice.
- Next Session: Prepping for the trip to Milstrom, potential infiltration or deeper involvement in Twilight internal affairs.
