Ambergriff wonders her way through the bog at night, looking for safety. Silver leads a heroic assault on the infiltrators before they can destroy the city. Both will have to wake soon...
Hopefully Spark's line will continue soon as well.

Wights don't need to be trustworthy, lol.
>A Door
.... It doesn't count when I'm already inside the apartment building, right?
Posey thinks to herself as her hoof reaches out to knock on the door.

Does it? To be sure, she's inside of the insulated portion of the building... But this apartment is a residence
Tapping on the door results in it moving back slightly

Posey puffs her cheeks and pushes herself into the apartment, seeing as the door is unlocked.

And... the door simply opens. Posey can see from the splinters of wood that the door was forced open at some point, as the locks are physically broken off, and the hinges show signs of damage. Posey looks inside to see a tiny foyer with beige walls and short on decorations. There is a hallway that goes to an opening on the far side, one door on the left, two on the right

"Signs of a break in.. Contraband is going to be slim here. Hopefully the pigs didn't sniff out everything.." Posey mutters, her expectations low as she searches about the apartment

First room on the right is a bathroom, with a sink near the door on the right, a toilet past that, and a bathtub past that, with curtains and a small window. The toilet looks both clogged and old. There is a mirror that opens to a medicine cabinet - it is clearly opened. There are items (what appear to be bandages - not used) that have fallen out and are on the floor. The sink has brown stains. The doors beneath the sink are open, and Posey has found... Bleach. Also toilet paper. No magic.
The second room appears to be a bedroom. On the far side is a window that is large enough that posey can see the school on the other side. In front of it is a bed, to the left is a night stand, and to the right is a dresser. There are clothes strewn across the floor (like a purple cloak and rubber boots). The matress is not on the bed, but leaned up next to it, and very clearly cut open. The airvents above the bed are opened. Several of the drawers from the dressers have been removed and turned upside down on the floor. A small wooden totem on the ground pings as magical.
The only room on the left is a kitchen. The doors in the kitchen are open, as are the cabinet doors. Posey can see that there is an actually rather impressive rack of herbs with more varieties than Posey has quite frankly seen in any location. There is an empty space in the wall with an electrical outlet that presumably is intended to house a refrigerator. There are a couple pots and pans, though really not many. There is tea, but worryingly, no tea pot. There is an herb grinder, and a large amount of salt. There is one bit of food which remains on the counter, which appears to be the largely smoked remains of the lower leg of an ungulate creature, complete with a hoof. Hopefully that's from a calf, or maybe a pig. Calves have only one toe, right? Right? No magic detected.
The last room, which connects to the kitchen, is evidently a living room. There is a book shelf with a large number of books, several of which have made it to the ground. There is a stand that would presumably hold a phonograph or radio. It's empty. There is a table next to the kitchen with a pair of chairs, though the chair has been moved across the room and is under an opened vent. There is a couch, though all of the cushions have been removed, and cut open. There are three windows, two look out onto the street, and another towards the school. There is a mask which resembles a crocuta. It pings as magical. There is a potted plant by the right, street-side window that seems to be... well it's hard to say what kind of plant that is, but it's not doing well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxwrAhBpfyA&pp=ygUPaXp6eSBwbGFudHMgZGll . The pot pings as magical.

Posey can hear a rat scurrying, movement in the apartment to the left of this one, and what sounds like copulation occurring somewhere above her and to the right. Nothing inside the apartment, save the rat.

Up to two items here. Could be a decent haul.

>rather impressive rack of herbs with more varieties than Posey has quite frankly seen in any location.
Arcane botanica and herbalism are not Posey's field of expertise (zero ranks), but she appraises them for their value as spell components.
"Looks like she was quite the herbalist. Shame she's gone, we could've used a good balm-monger..."
[1d20+3 = (8+3) = 11]
>drawing power from a link to spiritual forces.
"Huh, looks like a little summoning talisman. A rare find." Posey says, as she picks up the totem and places it in her satchel.

Magic is magic. Posey takes it.

>Posey takes it
Like, the dead plant and dirt, or just the pot?
The herbs are decently rare that some of them would not be found in an average grocery store, but neither are they worth their weight in silver. Like... what? 30 bits or so? Perhaps more. Hard to say.
The totem is small and thus easy to take

If the pot is sufficiently large and cumbersome, Posey will leave it be. I thought it was small.

In an act of mercy, Posey touches her hood to the potted plant and let's her charnel touch wither it to dust.
The plants troubles are over now, try not to be jealous.
She dumps out the soil and places the pot in her satchel.

The plant is finally relived of its suffering. The dirt and a buried bracelet or poured out, and Rosie Ring is now the proud owner of an 8-inch terracotta pot.

Posey picks up the bracelet out of the soil and places it in her satchel for later examination.
But she keeps the pot, because why not?
"Well, this was rather easy. Better report back to lord Lament." Posey says to herself, as she makes her way towards the door, having quenched her curiosity, it not her bloodthirst, for the night.

Satisfied, Posey leaves the apartment, and the building.
She makes her way back to where she was supposed to meet her driver.
>Posey seems to have completed her goals
Except for the picking fights with random creatures goal, although that might've been a bad idea.
It's pretty late where I am. I think it's about time I go to bed. Maybe we could continue this tomorrow?

Basically, in each respective place, Posey would first go to the home, and from that location, go to a location that was important to the decedent, and get in conflict with those inhabiting those locations. The problems with this is that the locals, even though it's a very high crime area, are still unlikely to attack Posey without provocation or misunderstanding, which can be avoided. Further, information can be hard to come by if you don't know what you're looking for or where to look. Posey could definitely just take what she found and go home, but then what? It can be difficult to set up environments where combat could happen en masse without upsetting the status quo of the world too much. So I don't know.

That's sort of what I expected, although I really didn't have it in me to murder the kaftar widow over a silver statue.
I'm willing to go with whatever you have planned. Just maybe make it a bit clearer.
>It can be difficult to set up environments where combat could happen en masse without upsetting the status quo of the world too much
I get it. I sort of expected Licorice Lament to just give me quests, maybe if just to kill people that he found inconvenient. I'm not picky when it comes to encounters.
Maybe give the cityscape urban encounter tables a look:

I mean, she can definitely just go home. After all, the decedents here were allies. But I only had one, maybe two other combat intensive ideas already in mind unless she returns

Shoot me the ideas, it just do the setup and we'll see where it leads.
Posey is really just sightseeing in this new country, and hoping to pick a fight with a worthy opponent.

Posey will probably head home then. She came out here because she heard that there were mage lairs she could plunder. She'll go back and help Licorice with whatever she's summoned for.
Unless you have a better idea, that is.
I get up early for work, so I can't stay up late for this tonight. For now I guess Posey will head back, to make sure she's there before Gloomy wakes up (he's prone to night terrors).

Gonna roll my own luck dice to assist the DM in describing any potential obstacles in Posey's Odyssey back to the mansion.
"Wow, this alleyway sure is dark, I hope I don't get mugged by a gang of ziggers." Posey says sarcastically as she trots along

Not serious. Just bored. Feel free to ignore this post and focus on Silver.

Silver finds... a layout on a wall. It looks permanent, painted on. The building has a set off offices on each side, a courtyard with a covered walkway down the center on each side of the central third, and then the central third has a hall open to the public that itself cuts that portion in half. The sections of the transit ministry appear dedicated to different roles. The portion silver is in now seems to be the offices of a publicly owned railway company. Other portions are for Maritime Shipping, Waterways, Roads, Internal Trade, Customs, and Air Travel.
The map includes other details as inquired.

Posey is not gang raped by zebras. But seriously if she wants to attempt to find Mason or a way out she can

"Oh no..."
This...is not what Silver imagined at all. With the size of the building and no clue where the changelings or their bomb would be located, and he has no idea how long they have until they decide to detonate.
Does the layout show a path to reach the position of the changelings who were shooting at them, when they were across the street?

Oh dear, conducting, conducting….
One thing she knows for sure is that it must not be late. Her pocketwatch is in sync with the clock, right? She supposes that passengers need some time to board, maybe ten minutes, so if that much time is remaining she blows her whistle and shouts, "All aboard!"
