Score 4 Ledger of Death
The Crews old friend Lutes from the Blue Aardvark sent them a message, he had a potential job for them. When they showed up at the shabby pub, Lutes told the partial crew he had a friend that need some help but he would pay because he owed the Associate a debt and so would reciprocate by finding a crew for him. Lutes had no info on the score. The crew accepted the score sight unseen for 3 coin Enter Ambros Spencer Benedict Broccia or Mr Bierce. He was hard up and need a big favor. The Score was to enter Lord Skurloks abode and search for a secret ledger of secrete souls, hidden from the spirit wardens. It seams Ambrose is in search of his lost love and fears she is deceased but hopes to find out what happened to her an possible contact her spirit. Lord Skurlok is known to protect Spirits from destruction at the hands of the Spirit wardens. The crew opted for an approach of deception and while they managed to get in the front door, but due to some unsuccessful negotiations with a massive clockwork Automaton, ended up in Lord Skurloks audience trapped in the iron grip of the automaton squirming and sputtering. Nicolia was able to find a library and Elon found the secret ledger room while Ambrose was able to fast talk Skurlok, and while this gave the other members time to poke around the mansion, it succeeded in bring The old Vampires disdain down on the Poor whisperer. Skurlok had finally had enough and trapped the crew to find out what was actually happening. He finally decided that the crew had potential and cast an enchantment which bonded the three of them to him. Each of the offenders now have sleeves of runes tattooed around their forearms. After interrogating the partial crew Skurlok let them go warning them never to return until they were summoned. They never got a look at the ledger.
