 ===== Debrief =====
+==== Adventure ====
+The party are launched into the sea amid the massive naval battle. They initially struggle, getting pounded by numerous near misses of artillery shells which shake the tiny boat. Anoushka jumps into the water and uses their powerful legs to pull the boat, dramatically increasing its speed. Unfortunately the pull of the Magus’ fleet on Anoushka’s mind very nearly proves fatal for the party, but much shouting from the party shakes Anoushka its influence long enough to drag the party to safety.
+ Having reached the target fleet, the party follow a mysterious cat-burglar inside the ship, passing through a number of defenses before reaching a town square full of people. Garreck, having used their powers to skip ahead, finds themselves confronted by a brutally powerful giant Jackdaw which seems to decide it wants to take the Wheel from Garreck. An encounter that Garreck escapes, but finds one of his embraces has been stolen in the process. Garreck rejoins the rest of the party as they chat with the locals (who are in the process of robbing them of basically everything they own).
+Following this, the party leave with the cat burglar (who has introduced themselves as Mousy) and head towards The Don, who they have identified as one of the “Captains” of the Outsider that they are in (as is Mousy, The Jackdaw, and ‘The Other’). The party are hopeful that they can turn these against each other.
+The party run into some minions of The Don, who they manage to steal some food from, then help Mousy steal from a Warehouse of The Don’s, before final meeting The Don himself. Through some fairly major sacrifices on the parts of Florian and Anoushka, the Don is convinced to leave reality alone.
+Next the party head towards ‘The Other’, encountering some Bandits which are more of a challenge than their reality based counterparts. Then Garreck finds the other reaching into their mind, trying to steal The Wheel from them, this manifests as an adventuring party journeying into Garreck’s mind. This adventuring party successfully steal Garreck’s connection to the Wheel and Florian performs an (unsuccessful) ritual to catch the intruders. Instead the party are transported to ‘The Other’, who turns out to be The Silent Regent (a foci of the Thief styled upon the Ruler of Rastaban). This fight proves to be an incredible challenge and several of the party are killed, but eventually The Silent Regent is killed by Heston and some of their power is stolen by him.
+Myron then allows the party to wake up by declaring their mission complete.
+==== Post Adventure ====
 Garrick debriefs to Anata. Garrek is rebuilt from the memories of his friends. Heston encounters Anata and Never, who resurrect him out of what is left of his mind.

 ==== Florian ====
-  * Florian no longer has a “Legacy”. This could have a number of metaphysical implications, but broadly means that people don’t tend to remember their contributions to projects. This also means that they can never gain more than single favour per adventure for ‘turning up’.
+  * Florian no longer has a “Legacy”. This could have a number of metaphysical implications, but broadly means that people don’t tend to remember their contributions to projects (though do remember they were involved). This also means that they can never gain or lose favour (they have exactly one favour at all times).
-  * Has successfully targeted a conflict ritual against the Thief, the consequences of this are currently uncertain (Dan to Speak to Larpos about effects and consequences).
+  * Has successfully targeted a conflict ritual against the Thief, the consequences of this are not obvious to those within the barrier. As a side-effect, Florian has been influenced by the Thief (chronic affliction of the mind), such that his principal desire when in conflict with someone is to steal that which is most precious to them.

+===== The Thief =====
+While the Thief is clearly a vast entity with many aspects, the party encountered the following aspects.
+  * Mousy - A cat burglar who has clearly gone all in on the cat theme (despite showing some subtle bird traits herself). She is the foci of an area filled with charming confidence tricksters, gentleman thieves, and the like. The area is filled with Magpies, colourful silks, charming thieves, and a low lying mist.
+  * The Don - Leader of The Syndicate, a region full of thugs, human traffickers, runners, fixers, and other members of organised crime families. Members of the syndicate are more likely to cut unfavourable deals than engage in direct theft (though they do still steal). Where possible they are fond of simplifying things by taking entire people rather than just a thing or two. The area is filled with ravens, people in sharp silk suits, and a light haze that dulls the colour of everything around.
+  * The Silent Regent - the foci of an area devoted to taking things by overwelming force. Filled with bandits, adventurers, Throne and Rod Paladins, Imperial Commissioners, and other elements of Rastaban themed power. The area is filled with crows, purple silks, and fogs which swirl ominously around peoples feet.
+  * The Jackdaw - A dark empty area in which the Jackdaw circles. They embody the more animalistic WANT-TAKE response. A slight smell of mist floats in the air, and the ground is a soft black silk.
