Session 11 Report - A Strike, a Brawl and a Hat

General Summary

We return to the streets, spires and homes of Shaf Threen.   After a tumultuous day of funerals, tumbling trees and assorted alarms, it is the duly allotted return to work day for Mining Team 47 after 24 hours in which they impressed with their tree saving skills, enraged the city’s ranger corps trying to do the same and confronted a member of the ruling Kommissariat with their various demands… Today they either return to work as expected, or take another course of action…   And it was decided not to go to work - a note from Idon was received, but the team went for striking, and instigating a wider strike across the mining teams. After a faltering start, a picket was established and free beer and food helped.   After a team of rangers arrived under Sgt Dralin, and relations soured (not least after Pebble did some shin-kicking), an impromptu brawl led to the other miners joining in and the rangers disappearing after a sound drubbing.   Some more striking followed - and when the excitement started to falter, a decision to repair to the pub ensued. But just as MT47 are turning in, Pebble spots a goliath wearing Mystery Catcher Balthazar Ladle's distinctive hat. Fergamor the Goliath explains that he found it near the Gumbo pit under the Lava Viaduct . Explorations here reveal spots of blood, the signs of a struggle, and two tracks leading away - the gobliniest ones circling round the city edge to the south...   Returning to the Shovel and Sickle Tavern reveals a frosty, quiet pub with the strikers ranged on one side, and a Kommisarium delegation on the other, led by Idon Istrubya .

What will follow?
