Preparation for Foundry Reconnaissance

Summary

The Preparation for Foundry Reconnaissance is a narrative event from Session 9 of the campaign in which the party commits to conducting reconnaissance on The Foundry where the mayor is imprisoned. After inadvertently sending Yassandra away as a newly-minted hero, the group acknowledges they are "back to square one" in their planning. Greta confirms the party's intention to infiltrate the foundry that night, and the group decides to proceed with a reconnaissance mission. The session concludes with Greta bidding the party farewell and showing particular concern for Sucks, making it clear she will not accompany them on this mission.

Details

In Session 9, following the departure of Yassandra, Greta surveys the situation and says, "Back to square one, I suppose." Abdul confirms the assessment. Greta asks the party, "Do you plan on infiltrating the foundry tonight?"

The party confirms their intention to proceed. Erin suggests they can use their Dust Hats for reconnaissance purposes. Vasso attempts to wink at Greta again but remains unable to successfully perform the gesture—his second failed attempt at the maneuver.

As the planning concludes, Greta tells the party, "It sounds like you have your task ahead of you." She reaches out and touches Sucks's hand, saying, "Be careful." Cat questions whether Greta is coming along on the mission, but Shawn confirms she is not joining them for the infiltration of The Foundry.
