    Baasement notes from below:

    Basement

    +

    Secret State Office

    +
    Cabal Documents on Table:
    +

    A large amounts of paper, as well as a few maps, and a couple of books.

    +

    Many of the papers seem to be reports regarding ship movements, specifically ships belonging to the Marcandrian Royal Armada. The Huntsman, the Marcandrian capital ship currently docked in Alatri. Some of the books here appears to be logs of reported movements.

    +

    One book, however, seems to instead log outgoing shipments, smuggled out from the city with the help of Privateer ships. Among the goods the log describes are tons worth of fused Concalian crystals. The destination of these shipments is not listed.

    +

    Regarding Ravanelli Documents: It seems people have been looking at quite a few of the records. Some seem to be missing, others seem to have been placed back.

    +

    Documents include: Personal correspondences, confidential reports, + more confidential versions of what's found in state office.

    +

    Additions with roll:

    +

    Ship tracking: The Marcandrian Royal flagship, the Concord, had its last entry about a year ago. They seem to have stopped caring about tracking its position since then.

    +

    Privateer Ships listed in log: At least a dozen different ships, among them Edward's Revenge, whose last smuggled goods out of Alatri a few months ago.

    +

    Shipment timeline: Seems to have started a little over 2 years ago. Last outgoing shipment was about a month ago. There logs seem to indicate there's been some frustration since the nearby shores off Alatri got infested with sea-monsters. A couple of privateer ships are also indicated as having been sunk due to these sea-monsters.

    +

    What was shipped off: In addition to the fused concalian crystals, vast amounts of magic materials and magical items seems to have been among the smuggled goods.

    There are also a lot of documents that either are or that describe the exchanges between the Ravanelli family and other parties, be that other noble families, other factions,  both within Marcandria and abroad. Documents that relates to diplomacy in a sense. The topics are many, though one that often comes up for exchanges within Marcandria are negotiations on promises and favors in return for the other party supporting House Ravanelli's claim to the Marcandrian throne.

    Foundry Note:

    +

    These archives contain rows upon rows of letters, documents, and books. The archives seem very well organized. The contents seem to include:

    +

    documents on official agreements, like treaties and trade agreements;

    +

    legal documents, including degrees, contracts, charters, and land deeds.

    +

    financial records, including ledgers and logs of financial transactions going back centuries

    +

    correspondences and communications, including meeting transcripts, and private letters (both copies of those sent, and those received)

    +

    intelligence and espionage reports, containing information on other noble houses, factions, and influential individuals; as well as detailing military movements, economic activities, and other matters of strategic interest

    +

    strategic plans and policies, including documents that outline long-term strategies, policies, and objectives of the family in matters of governance, defense, expansion, and diplomacy

    +

    personal journals and diaries, belonging to both current and former members of the family

    +

     

    +

    In other words: just about every kind of document that the Ravanelli family would deem valuable to keep.

    +

    Judging from how the dust here, several of the records kept seems to have been disturbed in the not so distant past. Some of the records disturbed seem to have been placed back, while others appear to still be missing.

    +

     

    +

    Additions with roll:

    + +

     

    +

    Private Studies

    +

    For all of them:

    +

    A simple study with a large finely ornate writing desk, with 3 drawers on each side. A simple bookcase covers the southern wall.

    +

     

    +

    Notes on investigations etc:

    + +

    South-western one:

    +

    Personal Correspondences belonging to Fioretta Ravanelli.

    +

    The top drawer on each side of the writing desk has what appears to be tiny buttons as part of their design – pressing these two simultaneously will cause the southern wall to pop out a little.

    +

    if they investigate the walls, they may also find out that the southern one is thinner than the others - so they can potentially hack their way through.

    +

     

    +

    Laboratory

    +

    Are 2x healing potions and 1x greater healing potion among the components in the cabinet.
