The Occupod

After a score and a half, the Ghost Leaves need to lay low to deal with the increased heat, and the fallout of the bloodshed on the water. While the Grinders seem to have been beaten for now, there are plenty more enemies for them to contest with in Doskvol. Vinly has some fish-inspired surgery and some drug-induced nightmares, Halfdan learns more about long term ghost containment from an actual e...

After their daring raid in the Lost District beyond the lightning wall, the Ghost Leaves find that their getaway plans have been dashed. The Grinders, a vicious gang of Skovic loyalists, have decided that tonight is the night that they will put their plans into action. They aim to board the Fog Hound and capture it. All that stands in their way are our scoundrels, a gang of smugglers, and several...

Upon the request of Tetsuya, an archivist at the Archive of Echoes, our gang of Hawkers are on the trail of a missing ghost. There's been a break-in, and following this ghost-napping will lead the gang beyond the safety of the city, into the dangers beyond the wall.

Now that they've helped the learned doctor develop a 'new' drug, our gang of Hawkers are able to relax a little. The city doesn't slow down, of course - there's still a demon nipping at their heels and plenty of bridges to burn. Sabrina learns more of the world of Iruvian espionage, Halfdan discovers some valuable information about his rival, and Vinly deals with his toughest c...

Funded by their local shady doctor, the Ghost Leaves are off to the prestigious Doskvol Academy to try and put a stop to a new illicit substance. They're not doing this for any moral purpose, of course - the good doctor wants to get the recipe for himself.

After a night on the town, the Ghost Leaves catch their breath amongst the coffee fumes. The City Watch may be on the back foot, but there are far more dangerous things than law enforcement lurking in the darkness. Vinly moves out, Halfdan returns to his faith, and Sabrina learns the terrible truth about how her and her uncle escaped from Iruvia.

In order to fund the purchase of new weaponry, the Bluecoats have hired out the largest theatre in the city for a charity gala, aiming to divert the coin towards their darker purposes. But, more importantly for our gang of Hawkers, two of their rivals are attending and they're determined to make sure they have an absolutely rotten night. Just as a little note: we've all got colds, so every...

Our gang of Hawkers take it easy after a surprisingly simple score. While they continue to supply Silkshore with coffee, the city is full of tension as old wounds are reopened. Sabrina discovers a disturbing gap in her memory, Vinly plans out how to get revenge on a childhood enemy, and Halfdan has to choose between the loyalty to his country or his love for his friends.

After months of work, it's time for the Clattering Cup, a dockside gambling den, to receive a fancy upgrade. Tonight is the first night of it reopening as the Doskvol branch of the Consenting Pugilist's League, a mostly civilised fight club for the people. The Ghost Leaves, our gang of Hawkers, have been recruited by the owner Ged to ensure the first night goes off with a bang. But, the ra...

After their brief foray into being the terror of Doskvol's waterways, the Ghost Leaves return back to the regular work of maintaining Silkshore's finest coffee house. But, it's a time of great change in the city, and dark truths are learnt about those closest to the party. Vinly does some market research, Halfdan tends to the dead, and Sabrina engages in class tourism -- mostly to annoy Vinly.

During the infiltration on board the Lockport's Lament , Bear, a smuggler with the Fog Hounds, was captured by the Bluecoats. Proving that there is still honour among thieves, the Ghost Leaves decide to free him before he can arrive at Ironhook Prison. A prison barge will be steaming down the Silk any day now, full of the city's unluckiest criminals. All they need to do is to find their ta...

Returning to our regular non-canine episodes, the Ghost Leaves are keeping their heads down after a particularly risky score. But, as always, no one is innocent in Doskvol, and more consequences rear their ugly heads. Halfdan loses faith, Vinly supports a fellow small business owner, and some sand from Sabrina's home seems to have appeared in a place most unusual.

While our main group of scoundrels escape from the Lockport's Lament , a four legged fighter is also fleeing the scene. Doghound, wounded, washes up on the shores of Silkshore, and three inquisitive strays decide to help this warrior return to glory. For this session, we're not playing Blades in the Dark. We're playing Dogs in the Bark, a fan-made expansion of the game where everyone i...

The Lockport's Lament , a leviathan hunter, has just had a new engine installed at great expense. The owners, the Gravedens, are hoping that this will turn their fortunes around and they'll finally be back to the upper echelons of society that they once dwelled in. The Iruvian embassy has other plans and has hired the Ghost Leaves to conduct a little bit of industrial espionage: Get in, ph...

Now their turf is secured, the Ghost Leaves conclude that their next goal is the same as every business in Doskvol: they need coin, and they need it fast. Halfdan finds that someone has struck against his church, Sabrina studies ancient Iruvian history, and Vinly learns that something terrible is lurking just behind one of their most trusted friends.

In a mouldy tenement in the docks, the impoverished locals are kept in place through fear. Their landlords, a gang of vicious Skovland dockers called the Grinders, have spread a rumour that in the basement there lives a creature from Skovic folklore that will hunt them if they break an oath. Is it real? It doesn't matter: our gang of Hawkers will exploit this situation for coin regardless.

With gang members both spiritually and physically wounded, the Ghost Leaves are starting to get more attention from those who dabble in the occult. Sabrina delivers some tragic news to a friend, Vinly encounters a fearsome whisper, and Halfdan has a vision of something on the edge of the veil.

Ged, owner of a gambling den by the docks, wants the weird noises coming from below his property to be stopped. He enlists the aid of the Ghost Leaves to don their waterproofs and explore what lies beneath. They quickly learn that beneath Doskvol is simply more Doskvol, and down there in the dark, some things that should have long since passed on still cling to the world of the living.

Recovering from their first assassination, the Ghost Leaves lick their rat-inflicted wounds and try to find ways to keep their heads down. Halfdan covers their tracks, Sabrina continues her feud with her designated hater, and Vinly finds out what happens to those who fall beneath the wheel. I've played around with some new editing tools so hopefully this sounds less like audio poison - let me know...

Dr Elric Stroginobocks wants his rival, Dr Gustav Stenton dealt with, and that means asking the Ghost Leaves to do their first ever assassination score. Having never (intentionally) killed people before, the gang realise that their target might actually be a decent fella, but they still have a job to do despite that. As you'd expect, they get in over their heads, and have their first terrifying en...

Now that they've secured a supplier for some premium Iruvian coffee, our gang of Hawkers set about the difficult task of expanding their workforce. Vinly gaslights his grandmother, Sabrina starts a new life as a casting director, and Halfdan sets to work building a great machine in the basement, helped by their resident ghost.

Our gang of Hawkers are visiting a trade show at the Iruvian Embassy in order to procure a new supplier for their rare coffee beans. A nice, simple score, but there's always the opportunity to ruin the evening through rat-based nonsense. But we know they wouldn't do that though, right? Right?

After a daring score in the Silver Stag Casino, the Ghost Leaves are rewarded by their mysterious employer, sitting within the upper echelons of Doskvol's society. Halfdan interrupts a coffee date, Vinly makes amends with his gambling buddies, and Sabrina tries to blend in with the scum of the streets.

The Ghost Leaves, under the employ of a mysterious aristocrat, are tasked with obtaining a ring from a Baron Graveden, a frequent gambler at the Silver Stag Casino. Their employer has one odd condition: the ring cannot be stolen, it must be won .

Now that the homeless have been conquered, the Ghost Leaves plan out their next move in Silkshore's premium coffee house. Halfdan grows the flock of the Church, Sabrina takes her dear uncle to the theatre, and Vinly brings sport back to the working man.
