Flink Cinder — The First Delivery
Session Details
In-Game Date:
Attending Players: Flink Cinder, Reubol Dipstick
Locations: Vedrheim Rooftops · Golden Ledger · Catacombs · Flink Cinder’s Home
SESSION SUMMARY
Summary
Flink Cinder began the session carrying out his duties as a lamplighter across the rooftops of Vedrheim. A storm was approaching the city, and thunder made the already dangerous rooftop work more difficult. During his rounds, Little Vero found Flink and informed him that Reubol Dipstick needed help with an urgent delivery.
Reubol entrusted Flink with an important package that had to be delivered unopened to the Golden Ledger. During the journey, three rooftop children—Sylas, Suditi, and Svan—stole the parcel after Flink was startled by thunder. Flink pursued them across the rooftops.
During the chase, one of the children nearly fell. Flink chose to save the child rather than focus solely on recovering the package. This convinced the children that he did not intend to harm them, allowing the confrontation to end through negotiation. They revealed that an unidentified cloaked figure had hired them to steal the parcel and bring it to the catacombs.
Flink recovered the unopened package and delivered it to the Golden Ledger. The Golden Ledger paid 3 handfuls for the successful delivery. Flink later investigated the catacombs and saw a cloaked figure entering the tunnels. The city watch interrupted him before he could follow. Unable to open the locked entrance, Flink returned home and used the Watchlight to contact the Raven Network.
