Well, if we make explosive rounds and really, REALLY scale them up we can probably invent artillery. Plate the shells with silver and add silver shavings into the powder, fire into a horde of werewolves.

There are more things in the weekend edition than just the robbery news article. There would be classifieds, current events, social pieces, just general news about the city. Let's read up and see what's going on about town, and in the wider world; there could even be information about the war.

You decide not to buy a paper. "Suit yourself, the juicy stuff about it was in last week's paper when it happened anyway." He wanders off to yell at more people about the paper. Eventually the ferryman blows the horn, signalling that the cargo is unloaded. With the dockworkers out of the way you're free to head on board to the passenger deck benches as the boat casts off. The paperboy enters as well, having sold his last paper, and sits down next to you. "Delivering books," he asks half-interested. You explain you bought them, that they're mostly things you wanted to know for your apprenticeship or were salvaged from the bookstore's junk bin. "Ah, ok. Don't know if I want to be one of thems, don't think they'll let me bring my friend along 'cause he's a couple years younger than I am and probably wouldn't be able to afford rent on the shed if I left. So what do you do?" You explain that you work for the local gunsmith and his eyes grow wide. "Wow, really," he stares at you, impressed that you get to make weapons. You tell him a bit about the guns you examined during your first week and he keeps getting more impressed. Eventually the boat reaches the other side. "Guess it's time to go home then," he says as he goes down to the lower deck and drags a large hand cart out. "My name's Jack," he shouts at you as he exits the ferry, "You ever want a paper, I'll stop by on the way to the dock, just shout 'Hey Jackie,' if you like the headline." You tell him you probably won't be able to afford one for a while. He just waves goodbye. _____________________ Back at the shop, Jacko looks up at you. "Finally back? Glad you weren't kidnapped or drowned in the river. I'd hate to be stuck here an extra year training your replacement if that happened. If you're looking for the master, he's at his town house, drinking with Lord Firebrand and Minister Thresher after his meeting, celebrating the kickbacks they'll be awarding each other in Parliament on Monday." You head upstairs with your bundle of books, arranging them on the bookshelf. Gained: Thaumaturgy and Sacred Geometry Applied Physics & Everyday Objects Aesthetics 101 (Damaged) Bestiary of Terror (Damaged) Secrets of Royal Chefs (Damaged) History of Goatsbridge (Low Quality) Minerals, Metals and Gems (Cosmetically Damaged) Gained You can't wait to write down everything that's happened so far. Too bad you don't have a pen. You try to borrow the one from the front desk when you go downstairs to eat but Jacko glares at you when you try to grab it. "That's for business only," he says, "You'll have to get your own if you want to draw or whatever it is you plan on doing, and don't think you can take one from the office, the master keeps it locked when he leaves." Since you decided to spend most of the day crossing the city and attending classes, you won't be able to devote as much time to the rest of the things you wanted to do. Of the three other activities you'd planned for the weekend, what do you least care about. A Attending church B Practicing with gun parts C Practicing marksmanship

B Gotta keep on the good side of the gods, and the master said we can't be a true gunsmith until we can shoot so no real point dicking around with the mechanical side if we're not gonna be able to play with them until we can shoot anyways.

You fall asleep, dreaming strange dreams as your brain copes with the day's knowledge. You find yourself wandering through forests full of slime, workshops filled with stars, magic slinging gangsters, all with no continuity between them but flowing together. Eventually your dream focuses on an old lady in the garden of a town house listening to a phonograph. Eventually a schoolmarm walks in through the back gate and a maid and butler exit the house. They all sit down at the patio table and begin a game of cards with no apparent rules, but every time one speaks they lay down a card. "Such a good boy, willing to help out his friend even though he was benefiting from it," the old lady says. "He could've just walked away. No good will come of hanging around that hooligan," the teacher replies. "He chose to help, he could've just bought regular books or kept the money," the maid responds in turn. "He thought it more beneficial for him to have all those damaged ones and you know it," the says the teacher again. "Madam, you speak out of turn," the butler says, glaring at her, "Tea's about done, may I suggest a new game? A bit of reading the leaves?" He walks back inside, not caring for a response, and brings a tea set back out and hands out drinks. A burst of noise interrupts the music and a card falls out of the phonograph's horn. "Quite right," the maid says as she sips her tea, "Good or ill, he set things in motion he won't understand when they come back around, unless..." She stares at you and you find yourself staring at the leaves in her empty teacup. The shape of the city, all the streets and buildings represented, yet the northwest and southeast sections appear indistinct. You find yourself focusing on the southwest section of the map, where you were earlier today. __________________________ Your name is Gunther, you're a nobody. Your parents were nobodies, your grandparents were nobodies. You didn't want for basic necessities but you had dreams of something bigger than your current life. You wanted wealth, you wanted power. Not the kind of wealth the man could take away from you when they decided you didn't need it. Not the kind of power that came with the man's rules saying you could never use it. Your boss was demanding a third of your month's wages for a reprocessing fee, but you just convinced that gun nut you'd known in school to pay for it and made a small commission using a clever application of store's refund policy. Of course, Mr Huck was pissed when he got back but calmed down surprisingly quickly. He started talking about your bright future in the world of business and mentioned he had a niece about your age. Tempting, but marrying into a family of merchants wasn't exactly the big score you'd had planned when you came down here, even if they did control everything like he kept telling you. You were looking for the real power in this city, the people who pulled the strings from the shadows. You had two options: A. Outside a nearby tavern, you saw some guys shake down a former soldier. He begged them to think of their time in the army together but they said the army didn't pay their bills now that it was done with them and that someone named Lord Delmiir didn't like it when people he loaned money to decided to shoot it up their arm instead of paying it back. Delmiir is apparently a crazy old orc who thinks himself the rightful king of the elves. Asking around, you learned his hideout is in the northwest end of town and a lot of unwanted veterans and broke youngest sons of the nobility either work for him or are in debt to him. Maybe he'd give you a job as a lookout or something if you took the extra money you saved up and claimed you managed to shake down someone who owed him money. The rumors said he was especially violent even by the standards of first generation orcs and he'd fly into a murderous rage when someone forgot to refer to him as King or mentioned the church in his presence. B. Over the past week your boss frequently spoke with customers who looked suspiciously unlike university students. You couldn't catch much of the conversations, but a name stuck out, a "Mr Wright". You ran after one of them when he visited on your break, asking if he needed anything delivered to Wright at a later date; he was terrified that you'd heard the name. It took some convincing to make him believe you weren't a snitch, but he eventually relented and said it was your funeral if you went down there. Wright was apparently the leader of some gang called the Wyrm's Eye. Merchants who didn't pay him protection money suddenly found themselves unable to staff their factories or their goods mysteriously falling into the river while being loaded onto the ferry. Few people in the organization actually knew what Wright actually looked like, his lieutenants would disappear into a vault every day and emerge with new orders. Some never came back out.
