We get back to the HQ.  Foggy goes through the books, and we sell the rest to the Silver Nails for 4 coin.  We gained some rep from the job,   but decide to not push our tier up as it would cost us everything and really give us mixed results.

Foggy studies the books and is able to gain insight into his demon, completing the long term project.  He also is able to heal himself and reduce some stress.  Raven also reduced his stress and increased his skills.  Crowl reduced his stress.  Reynard overindulges and is kicked out of his cult.  He needs to find a new voice.

Foggy is able to contact his demon through the spirit focus.  Its name is Tanigoth and it is the demon with a thousand mouths.  It is all about sowing Chaos.  In the past it has latched on to specific individuals to create chaos and destroy cities.  It has been missing for 150 years, but is now Foggy’s buddy.

Reynard was kicked out of his cult because he was seen talking to someone from the Silver Nails.  He knows the Circle of Flame has many ancient artifacts and is dangerous.

We go to talk to our contact from the Silver Nails, Tuhan.  The bartender also lets us know that the Dimmer sisters have put out a bounty for information on the break in of their mansion.  If we know anything we should talk to their agent, Darrow.  Some bluecoats also shove their way into the bar.

After some time Tuhan comes in and goes to the back, away from the bluecoats.  We talk to him about stealing some books from the cult that is looking for Khotar.  These could also point us to valuable stuff for the Lost District.

We decide this is too dangerous and instead decide to frame the Cabbies for the book theft.  Reynard cases the place and sees that they have boosted some security and boarded some windows, but not impossible.  Raven and Kit sneak into the place with the books, prying off the boards and slipping into one of the offices.  As Raven slips in he hears voices from one of the other offices.  Raven tries to hide and wait.  One of the people comes out, but the other stays.  Raven listens at one door and hears snoring, then sneaks into the storage room across the hall.  He hides the books behind the drawers of some filing cabinets then sneaks out.   He drinks his silence potion then replaces the boards as he is leaving the window.

Meanwhile Foggy zones out and is told by his demon that there must be blood tonight.  Reynard notices something is wrong.  Foggy tells him about the command.  Reynard throws something across to the opposite side of the roof to distract from the replacement of boards.  Raven takes 2 tries, but is able to replace the boards and escape.

Meanwhile Foggy tries to call a ghost and fails.  We slip into the night.

Foggy finds a cabbie to possess, then has a ghost take him over and write “The sisters will have their revenge”  before the cabbie slits his owns throat.  He makes a devils bargain with a ghost that will help him but will haunt him after.  The ghost has the cabbie writes the message in blood on his tip money, then commit suicide.  The ghost then introduces himself as Nerix and starts following Foggy.

Foggy also starts looking for followers of Tanigoth.  He finds them in Nightmarket, in a small shack that serves as their headquarters.

Next morning we go to Amancio and make a deal to give him the info about the cabbies having the sister’s books, in return for him getting a share of the information.    After some bargaining he agrees, and later in the day we see that there is a story about the cabbies hitting the Dimmer Sisters in the paper.

The next morning Bert and Ernie say they need to go see Harold because the guy with the eye patch was asking about us.  We go to the bar.  He asks for protection, which we provide in return for one coin.

Over the next few days there are incidents between the cabbies and dimmer sisters.  after some back and forth, the dimmer Sisters knock of the Cabbies Headquarters and find the books, while reducing the status of the cabbies.  The Silver Nails also go against the Dimmer Sisters but fail.  We gain some turf and pick up a loyal fence.

Amancio calls us back and says they only paid out 14 instead of 20, and he still is going to take his 6, so we only get 8 coin.
