They have a tiny hideout in the Docks district. They take a job to deliver a barrel of leviathan blood from Roland on the docks to Clyra at the Lampblack's hideout. After a sucessful job, they enjoy some downtime. Growler goes on gambling bender and isn't seen for two weeks. In that time, with only Cosmic Spider on watch, The Wraiths comandeered the Levionauts' hideout. ***Session 2*** - The now hideout-less Levionauts are looking to expand their organization. They recruit a weirdo who goes by the alias "Acid." Clyra informs the crew that Baszo Baz has a job for them. Tensions are rising between the Lampblacks and the Red Sashes. Baszo hires the crew to sneak a haunted tablet into the Red Sashes hideout, activate it with a ritual, and infest the hideout with spirits. The crew "successfully" pulls this off, but they fan the flames of conflict between the factions into all-out war. The streets run red with the blood of Lampblacks and Red Sashes from this chaos. ***Session 3*** - The Levionauts are gifted a hideout located in the Charhallow district from Baszo Baz. The crew is still in need of some coin, so they return to Baszo. He is struggling in the war versus the Red Sashes and he needs help. He hires the Levionauts to escort his nephew Florence into the Charterhall district and deliver him to the house of a woman named Agatha. Again, the crew technically completes this mission but they injure/maim/kill several Bluecoats in the process and attract some heat. They deliver Florence to Agatha's but she shackles Florence and Acid. ***Session 4*** - Upon arriving at Agatha's, Cosmic Spider and Growler find Florence and Acid about to be sacrificed for some ritual. Cosmic Spider convinces Agatha not to sacrifice Acid. Florence's body becomes posessed by a spirit known as Gorgoth. With supernatural strength and speed, Gorgoth locks Growler and Acid in a cell while Cosmic Spider slips away. They meet a Leech named Marc in a neighboring cell who has been imprisoned there for a while. The three of them break out of the cell while Gorgoth and Agatha go after Cosmic Spider. Cosmic Spider convinces Agatha to hire the Levionauts to deliver bodies for her ritual, and she agrees to hire them to deliver 10 bodies in one week. After some brief downtime and 3 days of planning, the crew pull off a heist to deliver bodies from the War in Crow's Foot to Agatha. They deliver 7/10 bodies and earn 5/10 coin for it (with 3 days remaining to complete the job). ***Session 5*** - The group decides to relieve some stress and everyone partakes in their vice of choice. Upon waking up the next day, Acid is nowhere to be found. The remaining members (Marc, Growler, and Cosmic Spider) decide to finish Agatha's job. Cosmic Spider gets some info from his contact Clyra about potential assassination jobs being given out by Lyssa, Leader of the Crows. On the way to inquire about those jobs, the group meets a trio of Red Sashes and convinces them to help "rob" Agatha. The group arrives at Agatha's with the bodies, and helps her conduct the infamous Agamormond Ritual. The Levionats learn that a spirit named Ta'leal is inhabiting the real Agatha's body. After speaking with Agatha's servant Gorgoth, they recall that a Demon named Ta'leal was somehow involved in the Great Cataclysm that shattered the sun and tore the veil to the underworld long ago (also, don't call her Lael'at). Cosmic Spider signed the group up to be Agatha's official lackeys. Currently, they are tasked with finding/securing a suitable location for another ritual in Coalridge, as well as aquiring the necessary reagents of Regular Salt, a Scavenger Tongue, and Batteryfly Wings. The Levionauts bought upgrades for their lair and a boat to let them navigate the waterways of the city. ***Session 6*** - A few days after upgrading their lair, Acid shows up with clear bruises/cuts and tattered clothes. While engaging in his vice, he was captured by the Spirit Wardens --- a new law enforcement branch that investigates paranormal activity. They have been put on high alert because of the spiritual activity going on in the city. Typically, spirit wardens wear long black trenchcoats with a tall black tophat. Growler met with his contact Roland to inquire about the ritual reagents, and learned of a new smuggling opportunity. Without conferring with his teammates, Growler signed the crew up to transport an Leviethan Blood - Ectoplasm Converter. Upon arriving at the technology building in Coalridge, they find that the converter is not in the pickup location. After inflitrating the building, the crew finds and kills Edwardo, the head inventor of leviathan blood technology. They also find that Whistler and the Wraiths have also been hired to steal the converter. Darrold attempts to assassinate Whistler (due to Cosmic Spider's mesmerization) but only succeeds in wounding him. After a shootout, Darrold is killed and the Levionauts fight off the Wraiths. After tricking a newly-hired guard to help them, they manage to get the converter to their boat --- narrowly evading some Spirit Wardens. They still have yet to navigate the waterways to deliver the converter back to the docks.
