Mr. Smelthy The messenger is not, as you suggest, yours to call upon. It is very clearly established that the messenger is not, in fact, NWFC property at all, but constitutes a private arrangement between the French and our friends in Albany.

The characters now spent considerable time discussing their next move. Much of this time was spent discussing what to do with the laboratory. Should they destroy it, or use it to research a cure for the plague, or steal it and have a genocide-plague-inducing machine of their very own? Decisions were not made, but it…

We last left our characters hidden in the forest, looking upon a small stone building whose door was guarded by two Myrmidons. Now we find them moving in for the kill, with Lord Epsom St. Helier walking forward trying to bluff his way past the Myrmidons, and Dave Black creeping up through the shadows behind…
