Case 1: The Case of the Corpse Astray
Client: Themselves (after being ambushed on a train ride)
Investigators: Ardemas, Roscoe , Mallen, Floux, Mauv, Dash
The Mystery: Pirates were being hired to collect corpses (that they themselves would generate in pirate-y schemes) and drop them off at Noble House in The Tangle.
Suspects:
- Precia Cointongue, famous pirate captainess and hired-hand.
- Donastra Valeri, resident and heiress of Noble House
- Lugo, the man the bodies are delivered to
Under the Mask:
- It turned out that the bodies were being dumped into the basement of Noble House, where they were being used to feed a massive tangle of flesh and bone. The sentinels snuck down and found Donastra entranced with a magical book named "Zelgrieb's Notebook of Dissection". Luckily for the players, they induced the inquisitors of Waukeen to enter the building, finding and arresting Donastra. The Book was then taken back to the Bodega where resident scholar Roscoe determined the book was influencing Donastra negatively with its own insidious magic.
- Follow up investigation and interrogation with locals of the area revealed the Valeri's dirty legacy, which resulted in Donastra's mother being banished from the family blood line and sent to live in squalor with her mason husband, who was actually the architect of Noble House. Sentinels believe the motivation was vengeance against her own family.
What they Missed:
- Donastra came across the insidious book in the first place thanks to a demon, Uxorioth, who was possessing her.

Investigators: Floux, Ardemas, Mauv
The Mystery: When a Nightwatch Commander believes he is being hunted down, the team works together to track down the killer, but more importantly, the killer's motivations that lead the team to re-think everything they know about Commander Teldi.
Suspects:
- The Pickle Vendor
- Vampires?
- Teldi Himself
- Merano's Pickles
Under the Mask:
It was the wife of the Pickle Vendor! She's a Penanggal who's decided to be a vigilante in the north Harbor. Teldi was the next target on her crosshairs, but he was convinced to skip town and never come back, or the Beggar's would happily let the Pennangal take her vengeance.
Case 4: The Case of the Double Dare
Client: Adam Hersey (Jonathan from Texas)
Investigators: Floux, Mallen, Roscoe, Calvin
The Mystery: After being double dared to go into an abandoned prep school in Sag Harbor, Adam and his friend Blaine take the challenge....only to be ambushed by powerful dark magic that turns Blaine into a statue. Now it's up to Adam to recruit the city's best (and cheapest) investigators to figure out what happened, and see if the curse can be reversed???
Suspects:
- Bill Wessler
- Tanya Becker
- Adam???
- Joe Canning (Aka JOE MAMA)
Under the Mask: It was Joe Mama all along. He was over 100 years old and had been tricking school kids into going into the house every 19 years.
What they Missed:
- Quite a bit, due to nobody's understanding of sorcery or magic, and their lack of connections with the Sorcerous Cabal that they may have been able to call a favor from. Still not understanding the curse, or how this mysterious type of dark magic operates, they elected to keep Blaine's paralyzed corpse in the Bodega as a seasonal decoration.
