"Smoke Powder Plot" (1x40) is the 40th session of the first campaign of Itora.

The party avert catastrophe as they thwart Gracelyn's reckless plan, Versa follows up a mysterious note left at the scene, and the group attend the next day's meet and greet in preparation for the day's match.

Synopsis

Foiled

With Pine and Ricoril successfully preventing Gracelyn from throwing his smoke bomb down to disrupt the prisoner exchange, the transaction goes off without a hitch, and without anyone noticing the onlookers - save for The Shrew. Versa notices their attention turning towards the rafters and performs a Minor Illusion to make it sound like it was merely birds fighting. However, as the parties leave, The Shrew turns in the direction of where Versa is hiding as she hears a whisper in her head.

The Shrew: (via Message) Thank you for not interfering, this exchange was important to me
Versa: (via Message) I... you're welcome? Hey, look, I was wondering if I could- ... talk? I promise I'm not after you. I can't promise the others, but I come with good intentions.

Wordlessly, The Shrew seems to respond by dropping a folded up piece of paper on their way out of the warehouse. After the coast is clear, Versa goes to check out the note to find that it's a set of directions written in Thieves Cant. From atop the roof, Gael watches the Deserted group begin to unhitch their boat, as The Shrew and the exchanged prisoner exchange a long hug.

Gracelyn leaves in a huff, blaming Pine for ruining his plan and blaming himself for expecting better of his son. Pine follows him, but his father pays him no mind. F&F meet back up at the warehouse and decide to hail a carriage to bring them back to the Yeltsa homestead to get some rest.

Mysterious Note

Early the next morning, Versa attempts to sneak away, but is noticed by Gael, who tails her through the city. Versa follows the directions from the note she received the night before, leading her to a laundromat.
