RB 7-20: One Hell of a Lawyer

Mission Report

Thu, Feb 15, 2018 ((Jun 13, 2021))
Team: Jane (Cael), Shiro (DragoN), Proud (Aunne), Isabelica (Basil), br/> Accompanies the tin soldiers to the Conclave: Lyndi, Kromrak, Sylvena

While Lyndi, Kromrak, and Sylvena finish attending the Dvaren Conclave, the rest of the team travels to Earth. Admiral Beastbuckle has provided intel to Nails about a person of interest. Ramon Crane is a lawyer and precog, and Nails was arranging for him to join Raptor Blue. However, cultists of Tiamat intercepted a message and misled Crane to a mine in Canada. Using Dvaren planeshift magic, the team arrives at the mine. They defeat a force of cultists. An Abishai named Zuniz arrives, with Crane imprisoned. Isabelica bargains Zuniz. Among Mirvodin's dark network of brains is Doumdungrid Grayblade (she/her), a Dvar follower of Tiamat. Raptor Blue will restore Grayblade and deliver to her to the cultists. The cultists will turn over Crane and his love, Daphne Reynolds (she/her, human). Farwatch will contain the cultists until the exchange is possible, and then ensure that the cultists leave Earth.

• Jane Irwin: After tucking the pamphlets of Dolmodeen into the zip tied wrists of the zealot dumbasses, Jane shoulders her gun again.

• Isabelica: (over the chain) Could we try to buy his contract?
• Max: Zuniz is a known pseudonym for a red Abishai, an elite warlord of Tiamat
• Shiro 2.0: Shiro is standing ominously in the back, suit colors set to camoflauge and a similarly shadowy Brutus draped on his shoulders. Both drone and artificer have their eye LEDs set to eerily glowing red
• Max: Our intel would fit with Ramon Crane being an Abishai who has reneged on his deal with Tiamat
• Proud Flame will do his best 'unobtrusive cat' thing - and quietly prep Absolute Loyalty - and draw a bead on one of the smaller beasties (Leaper as targetted).
• Proud Flame: "Oi. Jane. You got the hand truck, right?"
• Jane Irwin: Jane: I can, yeah. I don't wanna fuckin make no deal with this bitch; I dunno that we would be safe in giving them anything. I'm ready to rock.

• Jane Irwin: Jane smiles, wide and sharp and evil, behind Belica.
• Proud adds tracker to Tiamat cultist

• Crane made a deal with Ephara of Theros to break from Tiamat's service and the Hierarchy of the Nine Hells
