• After service, he chats with a priest about “his friend” who got involuntarily committed to an Abbey sanitarium. The priest directs him to talk to the abbey clerks. While walking over, Cormac notices Roy heading in to confront the clerks himself (this was established prior to Cormac heading there, so it made a funny coincidence).
• Cormac confronted Roy who was there to try and get info on where Jacqueline was taken. During this Cormac gets papers to file a “grievance against the registered agent of care” to try and become Jacqeuline’s agent (currently it is the butler).
• Headed to daymark, met Savannah de Mateo and got her to forge the papers. She gave them a key to a hidden locker in Tommy’s office above

• Golden Spire Inn for a carriage change up, then rent their own carriage for the last leg over to the tannery.
• Tuesday noon end-of-game, them setting up in the tannery to interrogate Jacqueline.

Session 11

• (prep) Roy will have reached Grace-upon-Water that morning, and is probably frantically headed back to town in search of his sister.
• (prep) Jacqueline knows about Roy’s plan in broad strokes, and about Minerva but not about any tactical moves. Only involved in getting Tommy arrested by using her noble clout to call in the report. While a smart and capable person, Jacqueline has no real strength against torture and will likely give into questioning quickly.
• META Taylor (Josh’s GF) joining today. Need the lines/veils talk, and brief discussion of positive meta gaming. Starting with intros for everybody.
