'''Crewmembers:''' Everyone

'''Scene:''' Deceit
 +
'''Location:''' Crow's Foot
  
The Crows have all but lost control over the area around Tendrisson's Sundries.  There is an 8-square-block area of Crow's Foot that is up for grabs.  The Red Sashes made a grab for it in the course of their still-ongoing war with the Crows, but were pushed back.  Both sides of the war have been badly mauled.  The situation is ripe for a third party to swoop in and grab the turf. Thanks to Fricca's updates on the situation, the Black Hats have an opportunity to act before the Crows regroup or the Red Sashes retake the neighborhood.
+
Fricca Tendrisson's recently deceased father worked for the Crows, but there was a disagreement with them and Fricca that we hope to capitalise on. ''Tendrisson's Sundries'' is more than the curio shop it appears to be.

===Current===

'''From Marlene''': There is big (real big) coin, and potentially future jobs, available from ''Master Slane'' if you do something to hamper ''the Lost's'' attempt to unionize his train car factory.
  
 +
'''From Pux''': The Dimmer Sisters want Hull gearing and will pay for it.  Pux knows where some can be found in Coalridge.
  
 +
'''From the Scholar''': Steal an occult tome from ''The Mire.'' (OOC: And seize a Covert Drops claim.)
  
 
('''Note''': you don't have to take one of these, but they are available without spending Downtime actions to Gather Info about other possibilities.)

===Past===
 
 
The Dimmer Sisters have been looking for help in securing particularly high-quality gearwork, such as that used in Hulls, as well as large quantities of leviathan blood.
 
 
Master Slane, who runs a traincar factory in Coalridge, has been looking for help in breaking up the unionization of his factory workers.

'''From Quellyn:''' Quellyn has a client who will pay extremely handsomely for a ''bectrix,'' a rare flightless bird said to have spectral abilities.  Quellyn also knows that one is currently held in ''The Menagerie,'' awaiting sale to another buyer.  Quellyn is going to hire someone to pull the job, but you get right of first refusal.
 
 
['''Note: no longer available after Entanglements''']'''From Amancio''':  Amancio's chief rival is a Severosi named ''Barca.''  He will make it well worth your while for information that would discredit him.  Amancio also hints that just murdering him would be fine, too.  Put him out of business one way or another, is the takeaway.
 
 
'''From Lyza''': There's a Skovlander labor organizer hiding out from strikebreakers looking to kill him.  He needs to be escorted from where he is in Coalridge over to the Docks to make his escape.  The Skovlanders and unionizers will happily pay anyone who can get him out of town.
 
 
'''From Bryl''': Bryl - on hard times - has learned of a large shipment of semi-refined leviathan blood making its way into the city on a particular night.  He knows the basic route it'll be taking from the Docks to its storage place in Charhollow.  Somebody who hijacked the shipment could sell it for a pretty penny; he just wants to be paid "in kind" for the tip if you take the job.
