Close-range firing left Jon with a glazed skull, with Lyra efficiently using the grenade and vaporising a couple of unfortunate Black Brotherhood member; it still took their combined firepower to get through the remained thugs, yet managing to get a few prisoners. [20:37] <@BradGM> Jon moved toward the fourth floor falling in a single-man ambush, ultimately gaining the upper hand with Grendel’s help and subduing his attacker for questioning. The Throne Agents learned that the Kasballica is the power behind the attack, having promised the Black Brotherhood thugs a pay of 5000 Thrones each. [20:37] <@BradGM> Seeing their usefulness past, Mockingbird realised their prisoners, with the idea that they will bring a message to the Kasballica to leave them be. Continuing with their purpose, they opened the envelope, having a window of 36 hours before their scheduled appointment with the Seven Witches.+++ [20:37] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:38] <@BradGM> **The manager is looking at the carnage, baffled by the pile of bodies and blood spatter.
