Session 1 Player Recap - Hochsilvar (2026-02-11)

Session 1 Recap: Hochsilvar

The team continued the Banco Valdieri robbery investigation under heavy time pressure during the Royal Games.

You confirmed there was no useful surveillance record of the robbery itself.
Captain Ensio shared that the most likely escape direction was toward Niederstadt, likely using transport and smuggling channels.
The party split to cover ground:
- one track pursued social intel at the Ivory Wheel sportsbook;
- one track followed the sewer route into Niederstadt.
Sewer tracking and witness checks in the Avenue of Butchers confirmed a likely pair of couriers (man and woman) moving under heavy load earlier in the day.
The sportsbook line did not produce a direct suspect, but helped establish event timing and crowd conditions around the Games.
In the meeting with Giovanni, you confirmed that vault security can be satisfied by living Valdieri bloodline access, and that citywide lockdown was not feasible during active festival traffic.

The robbery crew used planning, timing, and logistics to move cargo through crowded city infrastructure rather than brute force alone.

Reconnect with undercity informant channels at the Broken Seal.
Pressure-check transport and freight movement networks tied to the escape route.
