Mission Report


Friday, November 3, 2017 ((May 20, 2018))<br/>
Team: Lyndi Fletcher (Aslene), Jane Irwin (Cael), Chuck Nielson (Ari), Edward Chase (Aunne), Joe Irwin (Zenru45), Ryu (ShadowRyuu)


Aslene: All right, I’m calling the play then.  1) Jane and Max work on the drug composition to see if any of its nonmagical ingredients can be traced.  2) Joe works on a tracer spell.  If he can perfect it on the nonmagical wasteland, that still may lead us somewhere good or help us confirm something.  3). Ed and Chuck can work up a plan for stalking Tycen.  An equipment list would be handy.   4). I will go to my PD orientation, and once I have a login I can look at the file for Tycen, or try and smooze my way into it.  Information is power.   Did I miss anything?<br/>
Aslene: I’ll task Ryu to do subtle research on the Yakuza.  He speaks Japanese and may have contacts through his order that could help.   It would be good to know more about the players on that part of the board.
