Esoteric Enterprises - Prep For Session Eight

RUMORS

Rocks are gone. Just up and left. Like they'd finished whatever they were here for. Took out most of the Fat Suns in the cave before they went. Whole lotta hardware left behind...

City wants the mausoleum filled with concrete, so the Sunflowers will stop starting shootouts over it. But the crews won't go in. They say something's picking 'em off. Flowers aren't doing it, they all went home. It's something else...

Squids and Bears made nice. Still don't like each other, but they like the Earrings gobbling up the whole city a lot less...

Seelie King's dead. Regicide. The Courtiers didn't like the way things were headed. Queen's holed up with the surviving loyalists. Promised "all the wealth of Feyland" to anyone who rescues her and her children.

WORK

The Red Caps: Let's say someone were to knock over the Fat Buddha's underground hideout on the East Side, that would be worth a cool 2,000 dollars.

Smugglers: One of our contacts is looking for some tech from the old Serpent Man ruins to the Northwest. Would part with 2,000 dollars for it.

The Union: Hooks the Stevedore explains the Smugglers were supposed to bring a load from the Enclave. Now they're being difficult about it. They're holding it in their hideout under the West side. The Union would pay 2,000 to get it back.

The Ponda Ray Family: Ezzy let slip that the Earrings would pay 500 dollars a head for dead Squids. You people seem like you have no problem killing things. Just bring back a receipt for each one.
