This also isn't the phase we assign people to work in.

Ah.  That’s right.  I didn’t realize that.

Madame Dragon's Lucky Dry Cleaning

Initial Rolls: Time (6) Cost (2)

Buying a lot that belonged to an old dry cleaning shop to do more...nefarious deeds is a bit of a venture. Of course, the place is more planned to be something for our local agents to use to come back to and 'work' at in their spare time, and the business will not be owned by us directly, oh no. We plan on simply using some local's family shop for this. Of course, this would be easier said than done, if it wasn't for the fact that we just so happen to have the perfect local businesswoman and the perfect local shop, or rather row of shops. A small group of businesses in a chunk of the ever expanding china town in Pentrefsiapaneaidd just so happens to be owned by someone who actually is a part of a certain criminal organization we have practically full control over, in fact they and their husband are. And by simply giving them a fairly decent promotion and funding for using their family businesses we can easily get ourselves a not only a laundry mat, but also a pawn shop and a small accountants office, owned by the women's husband, and from that can use the buildings as a front and a place to have a person or two rest and lay low.

Of course, the best and most important part of this is that no one who owns the building actually has any direct connections to us, or our own business. Meaning that even if something goes wrong, we likely won't have it come back to bite us and the only people who will take a fall is the owners. Though, ideally, such can be deal with through enough bribes to the police in the event that such a thing happens. Still, while all of this won't take long, it will cost a fair bit to retool and redesign the basements of the three buildings. But it'll be worth it and will aid in future endeavors at that side of the city, and prove as a good place to use any future employees, lesser or otherwise.


It is currently the Deployment phase.

You may now assign a character to either work on one of you projects, recruit more villains into the fold, move to another city, or lastly engage in the world for one action or another. In the case of the latter, it is best to devise a plan. Otherwise, they will simply do more generic actions that fit their character.

The Outside World and Previous Actions

Despite everything going on in the world, for a time, in the archipegalo, there is peace...Until Sothweg decided to unveil in a grand force of arms a massive military parade along with the unveiling of a 'supper weapon' of an armor system, capable of making a soldier as strong as a light tank. Naturally this was used as propaganda for their socialist cause, and had their anthem blasting all the while. While no one in the higher stages of government or the scientific community anywhere except in the eastern block believing such a weapons system could possibly work, it's mostly dismissed by the west. Though, to some, it is concerning and shows that they are working on a project like that, something highly concerning. Meanwhile, in Schwarzes Holz, a number of commercials funded by the government would promote their new 779 emergency call line. In these, three animated characters take prominence, Karl der Kriminalpolizist, Dietrich der Doktor, and Bernhard der Brandmeister. The first of the three are the most famous for their use as a way of also asking Schwarzes Holz civilians to do their part and report more than just criminals but also spies with the like "Only you can sniff out spies!" Elsewhere in the archipelago, nothing much of note happens. At least, for now...

Project: Madame Dragon's Lucky Dry Cleaning

Rolls: Effectiveness (5+1), Cost (6), Bugs (4+1)

With Fengs swift work and connections, alongside a decent chunk of money, the work into getting the dry cleaning, along with the rest of the local businesses goes quite well and without a hitch. Furthermore, the expansion under the buildings proves to allow a fairly large number of people to remain under in what can best be described as a nice, large, staff room, along with a training room and a few other amenities. Due to the fact that it's more akin to a whole street of shops than just a dry cleaning and the fact all the basements are merged together means we have quite a bit of space. Of course, it's nothing too special but all of this including the nice back ally access means that really any sort of criminal dealing can be done with ease, especially the auctioning and selling of stolen or illegal goods.

Project: Pren Gwyn Youth Program

Rolls Problems? (3)

Due to the fact that Vinod is hardly known, and the fact he lacks the knowledge or charismatic skill Feng has, Vinod would find himself struggling to actually complete the project. He was a mechanic and a racer, not a businessman, and this venture was his first. Still, he'd make the best of it, and try and orient himself with the task at hand, taking what advice he could from Feng and trying to situate himself with this little task. It was a major one, but instead of bungling his funding away or otherwise turning the project into a mess for Feng to fix, he instead would just quietly listen to her every word and rely on her help near constantly. It was annoying for Feng, and it got nothing done, but it didn't waste money, and after enough questions about the project and situating himself, he felt confident that actually working on it would be feasible and in his capabilities, now that he knew a bit about things like contractors or management. All there was to do was test that out through proper practice, and through him actually working on the project...If he wasn't reassigned to something else now that he just got started...


It is currently the Project and Research phase.

You may at this moment in time describe and start one project which you would like to work on. The full effects of a project will be known upon completion, and the price and time of a project will be known once it is started. Do note that once you start a project, you do not need to work on it in the deployment phase, though electing not to will not advance it closer to completion.

Project - Emergence

We've established ourselves as wholesome community supporters, and now it's time to cement our control. Working through the back channels, we will exert influence on all criminal organizations surrounding Madame Dragons, subtly turning them to our will and profit.

Research - The Demonumentinator

For too long, the saber rattlers and the so called kings of this world have desired to leave their mark on this world, and removing that mark is the start of their downfall. As such, we will harness recently disgraced mad physics professors to enable us to create a weapon capable of making monuments very easy to steal.

I don't think we should entertain too many ideas that greatly increase numbers haphazardly, like absorbing a bunch of criminal organizations, because that'll just make it easier to pick on a loose thread and unravel the whole banana hammock. The Youth Program is good because it isn't an outright recruitment, but instead is community outreach with a side of maybe some kids do bad things good and we pick them up. Instead, I propose this:

Sneaking Suits
Sneaking Suits are the standard uniform for the Cabal's (eventual) master thieves. At a glance they appear to be typical business suits, but they are actually highly engineered pieces of equipment. Suits are tailored to fit the wearer, and are made of a fire-resistant flexible weave that minimizes the impact on flexibility and mobility a suit would typically have. This weave also works to scramble the images any camera would get of the people wearing the suit, and hides their thermal signature as well. The torso (front and back), upper arms, and thighs are all protected by a ballistic weave sewn into the inside of the clothing. A holster for a handgun in also attached to the inside of the suit at the breast. The shoes have sound-dampening soles. Balaclavas are included, made of the same material at the suit, but should probably not be worn until necessary.
