Situation

The Lampblacks and the Red Sashes are at war over turf and vengeance for deaths on both sides. Bazso Baz is recruiting every free blade in the district for extra muscle and doesn’t take no for an answer. You’re either with them or against them. The Lampblacks are not particularly well-connected politically, but are akin to folk-heroes among the working class, who see them as “lovable rogues” standing up to the powers-that-be.

Notable NPCs

• Bazso Baz 
• Pickett (second, shrewd, conniving, suspicious)
• Henner (thug, loyal, reckless)
