the aftermath
After the explosion, the aurors evacuate Felix Felicis. There are only a handful of civilian injuries, mostly incurred in the panic following the explosion. No casino staff were harmed in the break-in; the vault had been emptied as requested and wasn’t even guarded at the time of the incident. Nothing is missing from the vault, casino, or hotel.shoulder is healed on the spot, but leaves a nasty scar behind. Astrid suffers a mild concussion , while Everett has a bad shoulder sprain . These injuries are all relatively minor compared to Teagan, who is rushed to the poisons & potions ward. He’s been afflicted by a rare poison derived from the vitreous humor of a basilisk , and it takes all night and several specialists to get him out of the woods. Once morning rolls around, he’s still feeling stiff and sore, but he’s discharged that afternoon.
the abducation of ava canny
Not a hair has been scene of the widow Ava Canny since her disappearance. No ransom demands have been made, although as she doesn’t have any living relatives it’s unclear who this demand would be made of in the first place. The department’s point of contact on this case is Hazelle Harwood , Ava’s longtime assistant and the executor of the Canny estate. Ava’s considerable riches are set to go to a variety of charities in the event of her death, and she had altered her will just a week before halloween. The two organizations most impacted by these changes were the Makepeace Foundation (which now stands to inherit the majority of her wealth) and the National Archive (which has lost the majority of its share of the inheritance).Astrid Weird and [Volunteer B] play a good cop/bad cop routine as they interrogate him. They can ask five questions total of the suspect.
the third vessel
This egg is identical to each other egg the department has identified. The documentation provided by the buyer and seller confirm that it is, in fact, a third egg; its whereabouts are well accounted for over the years. Like the second egg, this one is a puzzle box that opens when cracked against a hard surface. The silver capsule inside is of a difference size and weight to the last egg. With permission from the National Archive and the help of [Volunteer C] , X Quintana opens the capsules to examine their contents.[Volunteer C] may also run one test on the blood and the skin.
fallout at felix felicis
The break-in has left the casino on high alert, and a detail of several Crowbar aurors is assigned to the premises at all times. They have their choice of posing as bartenders, croupiers, security guards, or casino patrons. Everyone has at least three shifts working at Felix Felicis in the next two weeks. These volunteer events can happen any time during that period, at your discretion:[Volunteer D] makes an impression on Liberatore Rubio. After a few encounters at the casino, he asks them to give him a small loan of 150,000 dragots, which he claims he desperately needs. He promises to pay the loan back, but is dodgy about what the money is needed for.[Journeyman Volunteer E] to have brunch with her at the Beginner’s Luck Café. After an usual amount of catch-up and pleasantries, she gives them a special assignment: track down the potioneer who concocted the poison Teagan was dosed with. Success at this task would certainly mean a promotion shortly down the line.[Volunteer F] and [Volunteer G] catch a notorious card-counter in the act. Felix Felicis’s head of security, Arthur Free, promises to cash in a favor for them in future (and gives them a hefty stack of house money to gamble with for the remainder of the day). Sloan Silversmith runs into Hiro Hunter when the thief attempts to swipe a bottle of liquor while nobody’s looking. Hiro pegs them as one of the Crowbar aurors immediately, and Sloan Silversmith is able to get them to answer a couple questions in exchange for letting them walk.[Volunteer I] ’s advantage when they overhear a conversation between two tipsy middle-aged women talking about how much fuss is being made over decorative eggs these days. One of them heard a rumor that someone staying at the Bellagio is trying to buy one for an exorbitant price.[Volunteer J] first ejects Perseus from the casino for being underaged. He offers them a hundred dragots if they let him keep his fake ID, which purports he’s 34 years old. Later in the evening, [Volunteer K] kicks Persefani out for drinking too much. Before she leaves, she vomits on their shoes in a retaliatory fashion.
