Worldbuilding Notes
- GM clarifies that robots are not sentient. Destroying robots has no positive or negative connotation without more context. Vim is not a robot.
- They city of Partil is built on a pillar. It was a former manufacturing hub on pier before the collapse. Reuse also used to be central hub of exports on Pier. The first train stop is still in Reuse
Argument Back in the Storage Car
Vim and Bungle disable the alarms that are preventing use from moving the target. While this is going on Dagonet begins making a ruckus. He keeps talking about “testing us” He attempts to intentionally trigger an alarm in the room, but Ajax and Ardolus prevent him by grappling him. It’s clear from his dexterity checks that he is very skilled. We finally convince him to calm down by communicating that our ability to finish this mission with no alarm is a good enough test. A considerable amount of time was spent discussing on if we should just kill him or not. Flip did successfully get him to flinch with his fist during these discussions. Who is the realcoward?
Arriving at the station
After leaving the storage car, we successfully avoid suspicion as we take seats in the last passenger car. After a few minutes pass, we reach the station and leave the train in two groups. The first group is the four members of the The Party that had logs documenting them as security auditors. The second group is Flip and Dagonet. Flip is terrified of being alone with this strange person that is aware of hishecale powers. The second Flip feels like he is out of sight, he begins to run away. Dagonet calls back “Hey, Flip!” At that exact moment, the caboose of train 312 explodes. Flip commits to escaping him and the fresh fireball, and he leaves without responding.
Dagonet had placed a bomb in that first car. Ardolus’s insurgent past helps him recognize Dagonet as an infamous serial arsonist/rioter named Weighted Snow. This explosion alerts the entire platform. People begin screaming and running while the local guards begin responding to the situation. The Party uses these moments to blend further into the chaos:
- Ardolus hides himself near the target container
- Ajax hides the target by blending it in with other luggage. He sits comfortably to enjoy the chaos.
- Vim blends in to the populace by giving helpful commands to people.
- Bungle disguises himself as an officer uses his fake position to leave quietly.
- Flip runs for his life. It’s clearly suspicious.coward
Collecting Reward
We make it back to Setebos and explain the details. She reveals that the package containshecale magic items, like a watch she briefly shows Bungle. It could of given him moretech powers. Despite the attention Dagonet brought us, Setebos agrees to to give more jobs to The Party. We’ll need more food soon anyway.

Worldbuilding
Robots are not considered sentient and are tools to be used
Partil is mostly made up of manufactuing, built around a pillar, its smaller than Pier
How do we secure the package?
Tensions rise with Dagonet as Ajax attempts to intimidate him
We have to figure out how to remove this pelican case from a pallet without triggering the bots..
- Vim with Bungle’s help attempts to remove the pack without setting off alarms
- Success! Vim is able to use his vine like limbs to nimbly remove the package
Dagonet attempts to set off the security to ‘see our worth’
- Vim is able to talk him down, - ‘hey, if you want to see what we’re worth, notice that we are carrying out this missing without raising any alarms!! This is what we are worth’
Afterwards, The Party walks to the next cart. Inside is a first class crew and a guard. Vim tells the guard that we’re inspecting the cart while keeping an eye on our two tagalongs, Dagonet and Flip Reebes
The train comes to a stop
The Party gets off the train Vim thanks the guard and excuses himself to the guests. Everyone appears to be unnoticed as we leave the station, separate from Flip Reebes and Dagonet, since they don’t have our security credentials.
After we leave the station, Dagonet calls after Flip Reebes as he starts to run away.
Then the station blows up.
Vim runs into the station, transforms into a police and tells everyone to calm down and evacuate and then is able to slice into the train’s terminal and remove any trace of The Party from their records.
As Vim runs back to the group, he directs the arriving officers, telling people what needs to be done to help. Ajax hides the box and sits and watches the train, Ardolus stealth’s away from the explosion. Bungle disguises as an officer and walks away. Flip Reebes, thecoward, runs away for his life.
Ajax notices that it seems like folks from the later carts survived the explosion.
We make it back to Setebos
Vim wants her to know that The Party did not set off the explosion. She shares that Weighted Snow was responsible for some bank attack. She opens the package and shows that it has some extra spell slot stuff in there.
We are rewarded, 7 rations and 200 credits each
Setebos doesn’t disagree with Weighted Snow’s The Partil Rail Attack, they seem to empathize with the frustrations.
Setebos mentions she was surprised that Flip Reebes wasn’t useful, since he is from the well known Reebes family.
Upon The Party pushing for more rewards due to the high profile nature of the job, Setebos offers a place to stay, along with some additional meals in the coming days.
