Short version: new campaign focuses on Kenwick Mannix (the same player as the MURDER MURDER MURDER guy in the first game) and his trusty band of ne'er do wells -- Fiesal "Weasel" Profoste (a sketchy Terris "steward"), Fairenough Hasting (a steel compounder and courier), Pindewlyss Penrod (a tineye and the bitch of his noble house), and Indra (a bendalloy/aluminum twinborn with mild dissociative identity disorder) -- as they lie, cheat, poison, and steal their way into political power in the city of Dorming.
They have so far
- Tampered with census data
- Destroyed the alliance between House Penrod and House Elariel
- Co-founded a classy whore house
- Ruined an important wedding
- Undermined the already weak alliance between House Auerband and House Ossment
- Murdered a "legitimate businessman" and taken over his "business"
- Accidentally disqualified the incumbent candidate for the Skaa representative on the ruling council
- Allowed the head of House Penrod to be assassinated in the night
- Poisoned the acting head of House Penrod just days later
- Acquired a live Giant Hogweed plant
Next game they will be purchasing House Ossment's everything by offering an alternative to bankruptcy that will go horribly wrong for Ossment because Fiesal is a rat bastard when it comes to finances and contracts. They may also ruin a shipment of very expensive clothing from House Merwades on its way to Luthadel, because heaven forbid they
actually talk with people to negotiate deals instead of ruining their lives.
