So my store may or may not have burned down

by Badger Of the Followers of the Almighty Clock

Righteo, well, let's get started on the previous day and a half's events. We got out of the library and were immediately set upon by an angel who was pursuing Snow after he apparently stole some scrolls from a scroll store. I decided that that was not my concern, and went to go secure rooms in a nearby tavern so we could begin the loot division ceremony as soon as possible. Squeak came running in after me, apparently they had decided to begin the ceremony at Shaper's workshop. So Squeak carried me back to the group.
 
We then crossed a mile long rickety wooden bridge which seemed to be falling apart as we crossed over an infinite void that was actively watching us. Nothing could possibly have gone wrong there.
 
Upon reaching Shaper's workshop we immediately began calculating how much everyone would be getting. And by we, I mean me. I spent 18 hours going over market values, numbers, and various estimates to ensure an equal division of loot. Everyone else seemed set on selling off everything for liquid assets in the form of gold. I was the only one who seemed to understand the value of shifting markets, post-scarcity economics and the capabilities of a good barter. That, and I needed to salvage as much material as possible to return to their true owner.
 
I set off for my shop early this morning, intent on dropping off my goods and then getting back as soon as possible. Shaper had just begun working on commissioned items for Snow and Squeak, so I figured I had the time. Immediately after boarding the ship, I got a message from Forrester to meet him in a nearby scroll store immediately, apparently there was some kind of trouble with our employer. He then carried me back to the group, at which point we boarded a tram to the location (some kind of clubhouse) and found it to be on fire. We entered, killed some devils, met some angels, put out the fires, investigated another blood circle, interrogated a small devil, and then made some discoveries.
 
It was at this point that I received Corvo's BRD, detailing something involving an angry wizard at the store and a fire. I'm on my way there now.
