Astrid Assassination Plan

Desperado Astrid Operation

Carl and Katia divide a secret operation into luring, isolation, card-based killing, body extraction, and delivery to the Guild upstairs.

Story so far

The job cannot be discussed with the many crawlers gathered in the Desperado Club. Carl and Katia therefore use private chat to plan around Astrid's level, cardiovascular magic, fairy advantage, and guard detail.

Carl takes responsibility for finding where Astrid works, how to make her emerge, and which route can isolate and extract her. The women's restroom passage between floors proves that hidden paths exist, while the Badger Bar corridor offers a possible controlled location.

Katia takes responsibility for the actual kill and intends to use her card deck. Donut's Mute spell would be useful but cannot be requested without exposing the contract. The body must then reach the Guild of Suffering in the Penis Parade one floor above.

Although the formal deadline extends through the ninth floor, damaged Larracos access and faction restrictions make the end of floor eight the practical cutoff. The party postpones execution until after Samantha's rescue.

Appearance

A covert club floor plan marked with lure point, ambush corridor, secret restroom passage, guarded office, and upstairs extraction route.

Role

The plan translates the Guild contract into a staged operation with severe secrecy and timing constraints.

Relationships

Katia Grim — She owns the job and designs the card-based kill.
Carl — He scouts access, lure, and extraction routes.
Astrid — She is the protected target.
Guild of Suffering — The operation must deliver her body to the upstairs entrance.
