 Deciding that they could put the gold to much better use the party decide to play along with the rebels and screw over Blackthorn. Of course, their plans aren't quite the same and Jimmy arranges for the True Council to intercept the shipment, in what would be probably be the biggest heist ever pulled off. As they leave the city they are briefly intercept by the mysterious [[resources:npc:felip_caulson|Felip Caulson]], who claims to speak for the Council. He asks the party to return the gold to the civil service who can ensure that the good of the city is protected from the chaos that Blackthorn and the rebels herald. Lady Rosemile pretends to go along with this and shakes the Civil Servant's hand before he and his allies vanish into the night.
-The party head toward the ruins where the King has arranged to meet representatives of Liarus. There they find the head of Blackthorn's elite mercenaries -Sir 'Slasher' McGee- attempting to make a deal with [[resources:npc:lord_azores|Lord Azores]], the head of Liarus' most powerful family. It seems the King is attempting to buy an alliance by marriage with Liarus and recruit their army to attack from behind the forces of Acryn, who are currently sitting on the edge of the great desert. Blackthorn’s treachery seemingly knows no limits.

 Their conference is interrupted by the arrival of [[resources:npc:faria_carver|Faria Carver]], high-priestess of the Leader, who confidently strides into the ruins. She is quite direct: the time of the council is over, destroyed by Blackthorn, who is the perfect of example of everything that was wrong with the Council - greedy, incompetent and uninterested in the good of Acryn. She demands the wealth of the city be handed over to ensure the Salic forces have what they need to crush Blackthorn and restore the true monarch to the city. Jimmy is somewhat surprised when Lady Rosemile and her entourage agree. Royalists! Everywhere!

 In Liarus, Jimmy is informed that the heist did not down as planned but is assured that the True Council appreciate his ambition and are more than willing to protect him from any fallout. He covers his back by speaking to his contacts in the Circle of the Broken Wing, who indicate that Julius Ravensfall did indeed get the cash and appears to be using it to send his men out on mysterious missions.

 ===Wibble and Snackies===
   * Jimmy - has increased his favour with the true council.
-  * Lady Rosemile - A shriveled hand that's useless for all but flux shaping. It bears a powerful curse from the Traitor and can act to betray her at GM discretion. It will definitely do so to hinder the royalist cause.

   * Team Rosemile - a 'Printing Press' resource if they invest 143 Riel. In a debrief this can be used to blanket a segment of society with propaganda, giving access to the contacts skill for that group in the next adventure the owner goes on.
+====Politics of the City====
+Acryn is nominally controlled by the forces of Arcus Blackthorn but his hold on the city is weakening as opinion shifts against a King that compares poorly to the Salic's of old. Worse, the economic state of the city is getting worse, with much of Acryn's sovereign wealth now missing and rampant mismanagement by a monarch who seems more concerned with self aggrandizing pet projects than governance.
+  * The Council - As before, it remains powerless.
+  * The Civil Service - appears to be working from the shadows to oppose the new King.
+  * The Guilds -  The majority take a neutral tone at the moment, waiting to see how things play out, but the King's confiscation of Riel is seriously damaging foreign trade with neighbors to whom the Blackthorn pound is worthless.
+  * The Nobility - Houses Darrish and Graves remain loosely loyal to the King. With [[resources:npc:duke_corlo_graves|Corlo Graves]] the master of the royal purse.
+  * The Colleges - The People's college remains a hotbed of revolutionary thought, largely opposed to the old order and the new king, with many members speaking on street corners about the need for a new revolution by the people.
+  * The Military forces of Acryn - Remain on the border of the great desert facing off a Serradic army that does not seem to want to move.
+  * The Wayfinder's Guild - Wayfinder supremacists, thanks to the royal edict that makes Wayfinders exempt from prosecution, are beginning to be strongly resented by the people they abuse in the city. The Guild-house itself remains in lockdown.
+  * The Churches remain largely neutral. However, the Church of the Leader has schismed, with Faria Carver leading around half the church out of the City in the name of the Leader and the true monarchs of Acryn. The remaining priests have withdrawn into their temple.
+  * The People - Much of the populous remaining under the sway of the new King and the strangely hypnotic power of the crown upon his brow. However, discontent is increasing and whispers of the coming of a true king run rampant.
