Anti-Escape Trap Net

The Net Trap

Lucia Mar's net skill, which Florin says she normally triple-taps; Carl survived taking only two.

Story so far

Carl finishes recounting to Florin everything that went down with Lucia Mar, and Florin laughs at the net trap. His verdict is that Carl was lucky she only cast two nets, mate — she's the queen of the triple tap.

The detail retroactively reframes Carl's escape as a near miss rather than a victory, and colors the rest of the conversation about whether Lucia will emerge from the Liaisons as someone who takes a deal or someone who needs Florin and Jurgen standing between her and everyone else.

Role

Lucia Mar's signature entrapment skill, most lethal when stacked three times.

Relationships

Lucia Mar — Her signature skill, usually cast three times over.
Carl — Survived it because she only cast twice.
Florin — Explains how much worse it could have been.
