Summary of Receipt
H.R. fails to identify the missing pieces of the Mechanism. However, weirdly, whenever she uses a poker card set to gain information, she always pulls all the Jacks of the four suites. So that’s very suspicious. Thus, she decides to tap into the Wicked Flame and obtains the name of the Mechanism’s creator. He’s a demon in the Necropolis.

I was hoping the game night would help clear my head a bit, though I’m not having much luck finding the remaining Mechanism pieces in the Astral Plane. Though it did give me a bit of an idea. Usually, I use tarot cards for readings and insights, but you can use regular playing cards too. And as luck would have it, our Barista is a colossal card fan. So, she showed me a few different spreads and interpretations for a standard 54-card deck, and I had something interesting happen…
Each time I’ve tried to pull some insight about the Mechanism, I got the same four cards repeatedly. Jack of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Jack of Diamonds, and Jack of Clubs. This is… not normal in the slightest. Statistically speaking, it’s beyond improbable to draw the same four cards in the same order over and over again. And I’ve done it thirteen times now. Clearly, something or someone was pushing these four cards to me. And usually, when things happen that are unexplained, well, all that’s left to do is gaze into the flames.
I know, I know, I really shouldn’t. Though, I had to. Or maybe I just wanted to prove that I could still do it. Either way, I’m sorry. Though on the bright side, the flames did show exactly what we needed to know. The creator of the Mechanism himself. He’s a demon in the Necropolis, and from what I could see, he’s pretty high in Asmodeus’ court. It would be great if we could somehow get to the Necropolis to talk to this demon and see if he might know how we could find the missing pieces. Though I know it’s tricky for humans to travel to the Otherside… but… a demon wouldn’t have a problem. Right?
Peace, Love, and Joy!
