This was not Jonas' best work, but his client is pleased with the result.

Jonas has spent a few days at Manse Decados, with many opportunities for studying new technology and advertising his services. The fitting of the pain blocker on his client went reasonably well and she seemed pleased with the result. In the end, he walked away with 2500 firebirds and perhaps an experience richer.

Alarus met with his contact during the Masquerade but was not able to gain much further information about the person responsible for the sabotaged shuttle. The only clue he gained was that a young woman seemed to be the one ordering the explosives to be placed.

Brother Otto spent his time in discussion with Illuminatus Hobsbawm, learning many new aspects of the Eskaton and how the fading suns indicates the glorious doom of this universe.

Sir Percival is still in the infirmary, being cared for by Sister Angeline. After a lot of soul-searching, he decided to decline the mission, as his reputation would suffer from working so close together with the hated House Decados. Angeline seemed relieved by his decision. They both agreed to secrecy and eagerly await the outcome of the expedition.

The Vuldrok, Skehylde, managed to get into a fracas with several nobles who disparaged her ancestry and manners. The resulting bloodbath left most of them with grave injuries, and she is currently cooling her heels in the dungeon, beyond even the reach of Lord Kazimir. Kazimir has managed to hire a replacement pilot who can be trusted to be discreet.

20:56, Today: Paavo rolled 3 using 1d20.  Augment for taking off (sidekick assist) 17.
20:57, Today: Paavo rolled 18 using 1d20.  Taking off with Pilot skill 4W (1W+3).

21:01, Today: GM rolled 1 using 1d20.  Resistance to Paavo's augment (15). Minor Defeat
21:02, Today: GM rolled 9 using 1d20.  Resistance to Paavo taking off (6).

The attempt to launch 'Garm's Fang' was a Minor Victory. No problems encountered. Engines ticking over nicely.

Acheon is a large city by Known World’s standards. It is also one of the most densely populated places in the Phoenix Empire. By the official Acheon census of 4995, the population of Acheon counted 10,007,434 people, including nearly a million non-Humans (predominantly Ur-Ukar). This census however, counted only free citizens, their families and serfs; the actual population, when slaves, slum squatters, and other non-citizens are figured in, is significantly higher, with total estimates varying between 11 and 14 million.

Acheon lies at the head of a fjord, on the eastern edge of the Shamal subcontinent of Salamandra, on the coast of the oceanic expanse known as the Khazra Sea. The Shamal-Salamandra border runs just a few kilometers south of the city limit, and Acheon proper occupies a wadi basin encircled by small mountains and an upland plateau of dry grassland, which extends into several suburbs and adjacent settlements that makes up the Acheon Metropolitan Area. About six kilometers west of Acheon begins the enormous Nordwood Forest which stretches all across the Shamal subcontinent.

Unlike most settlements, Acheon is divided not only horizontally across the land, but vertically as well. The further away from the ground you are, the better the neighbourhoods become. The floor of Acheon occupies a wadi (desert valley) basin, and is home to the Undertown, where destitute peoples inhabit the canyonlike streets shadowed by tall buildings and smog. The wadi runs westward from the Criticorum Fjord in the direction of the Nordwood Forest, although only the basin proper constitutes Undertown.

Above the basin, and higher up along the wadi, lies Centertown, with its platforms and streets resting on pillars as well as on the very superstructure of towering buildings which are more or less level with the Goldenfield Plateau, to which it is also connected via the Basin Bridge. Centertown claims most of that territory as well, with some walled-off areas belonging to the Old Suq historic District of Acheon’s Uppertown strata.

The highest reaches of the tallest structures are where the wealthiest nobility dwell, in the strata known as Uppertown. Here, it seems the Second Republic never ended, and many of the buildings and way of life echo that apex of humanity’s technical and social achievements – of course, only the al-Malik nobles and their guests ever get to experience the Uppertown dream.

Jo’vet Siddir was born 30 years ago to the Siddir clan of Aylon, one of two governing Ur-Ukar clans allied with House al-Malik on that world. Early on he was recruited by a Scravers Guild chapter on Aylon, initially as a messenger boy and Ukari interpreter before he received more official training as an enforcer and troubleshooter with the guild.

About six years ago, Jo’vet had a falling out with his Scravers master on Aylon – a loan shark and racketeer known as Harry Dubois – and was summarily thrown out of the guild as well as from his Ukari clan. Two weeks later, Jo’vet answered in kind by strangling Mr. Dubois in his office, after sneaking in during the night and waiting for Mr. Dubois to enter his office in the morning.

The now outlawed Jo’vet drifted for a while, visiting a handful of worlds and working for several seedy characters and groups, before settling on Criticorum three years ago. This is when he is believed to have fallen in with the Alien Republican Army. His exact association with the ARA crowd is not known, although he is a known associate of several confirmed members of the anti-Imperial and anti-Human terrorist group.

Jo’vet is believed to occasionally hire himself out as an assassin. He is suspected of having committed several burglaries and robberies since he came to Criticorum, and the murder of at least three al-Malik serfs have been pinned on him. Jo’vet is also a suspect in the strangling of two freemen criminal informants of Sir Hückebein eighteen months ago.

Last year, the Strangler of Aylon was suspected of, but never apprehended for, the murder of the wealthy Acheon factory owner, Baronet Montu Ali al-Malik. The authorities possess security surveillance photos proving he did the deed. This act is believed to have been a contract killing initiated by one of the baronet’s business rivals, although no clear suspect has emerged.

Jo’vet was captured last week when trying to pawn some stolen jewelry to an undercover watchman posing as a fence. He was transported directly to the district jail where he remained, locked up and interrogated, till he walked out of the jail two nights ago, after first causing the death of two young and upstanding al-Malik guardsmen, Ayoob al-Mudajjan and Tariq ibn Najjar. He is suspected to have modest psychic powers, namely the Farhand path.

Description: Jo’vet is short for an Ur-Ukar and very thin. His eyes are pitch black, as is typical for his species, and his skin is a pale off-white color, decorated on his face and arms by baa’mon body carvings. He has short red blonde hair.
