Text of the page (random words):
s something criminal you re planning i am no stranger to such things the druid said frankly indeed i have certain abilities which might prove quite useful elsewhere yam and sister were experimenting with the portal chalk and seeking ways to track down the ones who made it with garvin s help they had deduced that the magical chalk was an artefact of the antinomian the mad laughing trickster deity god of primal chaos and absurdity whose religion was one of the few banned in hex together they had made contact with one of the god s cult s secret societies in hex using a secret note drop to communicate sister drafted a note about a hypothetical portal chalk puzzle looking for ways to expand the chalk s use the cult in due time responded they were intrigued and sent half of an elaborate arcane cryptogram in return for the other half they said they needed an object of power ridiculously the undergarments of the infernal archbishop arabella sickle bewildered and somewhat amused sister concealed the note with care shortly later they were contacted by garvin and alabastor informing them about the upcoming job yam owing something of a debt to their companions quickly agreed to participate sister took some additional convincing but as a servant of a god of schemes and deception she was ultimately persuaded planning for the heist to come began in earnest the party first set their eyes on the carriage the most time sensitive of the three heists they would have to pull off speculating about likely routes the carriage might take the thieves began making arrangements first they hired a small number of ravenswing associates to guard a portal entrance they scrawled in the backroom of the cockroach pub a seedy drinking establishment in goatsbridge secondly the group learned that s a d i s m the society for the abolition of diabolic and infernal servitude and maltreatment was planning a protest against the use of conjured labour at the bridge of sins the group planned to capitalize on the distraction using a portal to convey the sclera to the cockroach pub yam would help incite the protest alabastor would infiltrate the protest himself sister would serve as lookout garvin and viridian would sneak into the carriage their plans made the ravenswing thieves and their companions slept preparing for the job to come the dawn was misty and damp the five made their way through behemoth bend to the bridge of sins where protestors were already gathering they d set up a crude barricade made from bits of furniture and piled scrap they held up signs summoning is subjugation and break the circle soon enough the warders carriage approached the bridge an armoured carriage of gunmetal grey rumbling across the cobblestones drawn by a team of four automaton horses snorting steam from their furnace bellies the carriage had a warder driver a second warder with a crossbow in a small turret and two warder escorts riding alongside the carriage on their own mechanical steeds one was accompanied by a bound demon who keeps pace with the carriage led by its summoner with a silver chain the creature had a sigil graven collar a magic circle round its neck it had chicken like legs a beard of writhing tentacles and carried a wickedly glinting scythe judging from the decorated uniform of the summoner he was the ranking officer of the group alongside was an identical carriage flanked by identical guards one of them must have been an illusion alabastor urged the protestors on look at what they re doing he said gesturing to the bound demon enslavement sister thinking quickly used detect thoughts to perceive which of the carriages was crewed by real people as she furthered this information to yam the warders began casting a spell to suppress the crowd and a stinking cloud of magical teargas exploded over the bridge dozens of protestors slumped to the ground yam thinking quickly hurled an acid arrow at the demon s chain the demon newly freed turned quickly on its master alabastor a gas mask hastily affixed conjured an illusion another protest coming from the other direction the warders spun in place confused even as their own demon lumbered towards them meanwhile the shadowy garvin and viridian crept toward the carriage grove transformed into the shape of a zoog garvin used his abilities to flit through space to enter the carriage stealthily grove close behind a large steel chest was the only object within hastily garvin used the portal chalk to create a portal in the floor dropping the chest through to the cockroach pub outside the demon raged charging the summoner but the quick thinking warder cast mending restoring the chain the demon spun once more under warder control a guard from the turret darted down into the carriage arriving just in time to see the thieves making off with the chest he dart forth as the portal closed and instantly was severed in half gah those in the cockroach winced as the man fell into the room screaming blood pouring everywhere he passed out quickly dying within moments damn garvin said that wasn t in the plan we ll get the remains back to the guild one of the ravenswing associates said ravenswing ll raise him and wipe his memory guild policy garvin nodded soberly ravenswing frowned heavily on deaths but recognized that occasionally accidents happened garvin picked the lock on the chest within was the sclera of the angel s eye a white opalescent stone with a depression where the iris would slot back at the bridge of sins yam alabastor and sister had hastily fled scattering into the streets as the warders dealt with alabastor s illusory crowd unaware that their prize was gone one down two to go next stop the dark drop badblood boulevard led towards the open square of crow court from the districts of faunsweald and groanwell more salubrious neighbourhoods where the folk of hex revel and carouse some of the spirit of hedonism had spilled into the commons here as the boulevard was lined with taverns and drug dens places like the bloated flea and the laughing fiend as well as a large shadowmilk den the dark drop from which junkies stumbled with eyes like lightless voids the drop was typical for a shadowmilk bar a place where those seeking to empty themselves of all their cares and woe could seek the abyss at the bottom of a cup the folk who crowded the dingy bar and swilled down cups of the stuff served by a good natured hunchback tattooed with holy sigils of the unspeakable ones were a mix of poor and desperate souls in search of some relief from their suffering and avant garde philosophers nihilists hoping to map the terrain of the unthinkable through alchemical means a good number of dark robed necromancers from grey hook were in evidence too students from the académie macabre slumming it in corvid commons and discussing thanatology necropolitics antivitalist metaphysics and the ethics of reanimation the group took up seats at the bar while lenore scuttled stealthily from garvin s shoulder able to peer through the zoog s eyes the arcane trickster used her to scout out the backrooms of the dark drop she entered a chamber filled with complicated distillation equipment including huge copper tanks and masses of snaking pipes and tubes portholes in some of the tanks revealed them to be brimming with a viscous black liquid shadowmilk there were two exits some of the pipes extend from the machinery through one of the corridors sister provided a distraction asking the barkeep about the possibility of stowing stolen items at the drop a known rookery meanwhile albastor crept down the stairs and drew a portal the rest of the party exited the bar and entered through the other end scrawled in a nearby alleyway alabastor got out his dowsing wand and the group stealthily followed its pull down one of the corridors they followed the hall to a stair leading down into a cavernous brick vault that had been made habitable with the addition of a few wall hangings bearing crowsbeak symbols a handful of tables and a well stocked bar of cheap ale blackheart brew and moonrise pale ale three ugly ruffians lounged about the room drinking and counting coins two humans and a trollblood there were two wooden doors visible one of them open though the thieves were using the utmost stealth the new member of the group viridian stumbled on the stairs a brief and vicious fight ensued bullets crossbow bolts and spells whizzing across the chamber at the end grove s ear lay bloody on the floor blood streaming from his face but the three crowsbeak thieves lay dead shit alabastor cursed we d better get the iris and get out of here fast they quickly found a safe hidden behind one of the wall hangings yam quickly cast knock and the combination lock swiveled to 7 then 13 then 43 within was the iris another gem this one iridescent and bluish with a final depression for the pupil the safe also contained various other ill gotten gains including various articles of jewellery gemstones gold and an obviously enchanted necklace only four murders and a riot so far grove muttered holding his severed ear to his head while sister cast a healing spell divine spiders flowing from her robes to switch the ear back to the druid s head the band beat a hasty retreat through their getaway portal before additional crowsbeak could appear only one piece of the angel s eye remained the pupil lost in the tunnels beneath fanghill the party hastened there now as sullen twilight turned to light waspkin streetlighters flitting about with torches in the poorer districts electric and magical lights flickering on in the more salubrious ones they reached opulent fanghill as the sun slunk beneath the jagged silhouette of mount shudder an investigation of the plaza near the museum of magical arts quickly turned up a manhole askew exhausted the party decided to retire for the evening and to meet up again early the next day full of fresh spells and energy they returned to the museum in the pre dawn darkness the city was once again clad in heavy mist careful to avoid detection by early morning watch patrols the group dropped down into the sewers even the sewer tunnels were ostentatious in fanghill the stonework well maintained but even so the corridor was as filthy as any in hex puddles of murky water growing stagnant on the floor of the tunnel buzzing insects were everywhere having laid their eggs in the filth garvin having scavenged his share of sewers as a lad knew that valuables often turned up in such much a moment s search produced a glittering pearl necklace dropped from the street about and swept into the drain grove eager to show his worth transformed himself into a bloodhound like creature though hairless and alien he sniffed about trying to smell the crowsbeak thief the group followed the druid to a larger tunnel heavy rains and snowmelt had left the storm drain swollen with dirty water flowing steadily south a slippery looking metal catwalk led across the tunnel there was something lying on the ground on the other side of the bridge but it was hard to see what it is use of the portal chalk and a rope which garvin shimmied along bypassed the treacherous torrent the lower half of a human being lay on the floor of the tunnel it looked as if something had ripped a person viciously in two a trail of dried blood led from the remains through a doorway to the south following viridian and the blood trail the group made their way to an old maintenance room with several burst pipes spraying filthy liquid into the chamber the cause of these was a rent in the wall a huge split leading into a dark natural tunnel beyond the scent trail led through this chamber and down the tunnel tentatively the group descended into the darkness the smell of blood and decay clotting their nostrils there was a steady rhythmic noise like something breathing slowly the tunnel opened up a great pile of gnawed bones and clothes was strewn across the floor of the disgusting cavern beyond squatting in the darkness were three twisted creatures that looked as if they might once have been people horribly deformed the monsters had massively prognathous jaws and enormous yellow teeth their eyes were shrunken deep into their sockets while their nostrils flared sniffing constantly one extended a hideous dripping tongue as if tasting the air alabastor was the one to blow the group s cover this time sending a stray bone clattering down the tunnel he used some sort of illusion to intimidate the

city is to provide an overview description plus possible encounters and adventure hooks for each area however i m wondering which the following two approaches would be better to flesh the districts
