Guzman's Shipment

Summary

Guzman's Shipment is a mysterious cargo that Louise Guzman tasked the party with escorting from his establishment to a location near Smoke during Session 4. The job was negotiated as part of a larger deal with The Organization, which included payment for the party's services, the purchase of their pigs, and a massage for Monster. The shipment's appearance and actual contents appear to be deliberately obscured, with the party speculating about what it might contain versus what it actually is.

Properties

The physical appearance of the shipment, as speculated by the party, includes what looks like bricks of oregano, rolled striped blankets (described as "hippie blankets" similar to those worn by people who play footbag or hacky sack), and bottles of hair dreading solution. However, the distinction drawn between what the shipment "looks like" versus "what it actually is" suggests these visible contents may serve as a cover for something else entirely. The true nature of the cargo remains unclear and potentially intentionally disguised.

History

Session 4

Louise Guzman offered the escort job to the party after negotiations at his establishment, stating: "You will company a shipment for me from here to another. Have professional dealings with". The task was specifically described as "accompanying a shipment from here to near Smoke."

The party members—Katniss, Sucks Benedict, Vasso, and Safia—discussed what the shipment might contain, with suggestions including the oregano bricks, hippie blankets, and hair dreading solution. The Game Master's inquiry about the difference between the shipment's appearance and its actual contents raised questions about whether the visible goods serve as concealment for the real cargo. This ambiguity became part of the job the party accepted from The Organization.
