Astrid Assassination

Night Wyrm Guild contract

Katia delivers Astrid's body to the Guild, formally completes the Night Wyrm's contract, and conceals the crawlers' responsibility from the club.

Story so far

The Guild job updates after Astrid dies, but payment remains locked until Katia presents the target's body. Katia inventories Astrid and leaves through the secret bathroom stairwell while Carl handles the demon emergency.

The Guild accepts the body, completes the contract, and unlocks the Engaged Lock Box of the Night Wyrm. Katia secures the Orchid reward.

Back among the club's survivors, she reports Astrid's death to Damascus Steel and Anaconda without revealing that she and Carl caused it. The performers are allowed to believe Astrid fell during the monster attack.

Appearance

A shadowed Guild counter receiving an inventoried fairy body as an enchanted contract seal breaks.

Role

The completed assassination resolves Katia's urgent contract while deepening the secret she and Carl keep from Astrid's mourners.

Relationships

Katia Grim — She kills Astrid, delivers the body, and receives the reward.
Carl — He enables the kill and helps preserve the monster-attack cover.
Night Wyrm — He ordered the death of his wife.
Astrid — She is the contract target.
