Sister Act
1d100+10 (Close ties)+5 (Strong Network)-2 (Half-Broken Network)=57
Ultimately, getting more agents in the sister cities of St. Louis was not all that difficult. What was a little more difficult was getting a good handle on what the agents were and weren't willing to do. In the long term, Cora Graves knew she would have to very carefully vet their limits, and more than that she'd set a task for the rest of her Court to do so already.
Just because one was willing to pass information to an allied Freehold under the table didn't mean one was willing to act out any form of sabotage or even more in-depth information retrieval, and unless she had proof, she would assume that if asked to do anything that would actively harm the Freehold or require excessive risk to themselves, that they wouldn't act on it.
They worked as a source of information first and foremost, and in some areas this would be vital. Information from New Founding would be important for keeping ahead in trade matters, and the turmoil they had apparently faced in the last week was troubling.
The Freehold of Luminaries would be even more important for their heavy investment on earth, which meant that of all of the sister Freeholds, they'd be the one most likely discovered en masse by the other supernatural forces of the world.
There was one exception to having emplaced agents, and that was in Diamond Fort, which hadn't quite gone dark but had stopped shipping out hedgespun of any kind. It seemed there was some sort of internal dispute, one large enough that the entire Freehold had just done with a larger Freehold, or one with a weaker Winter Court, couldn't have done. They forted up, closed themselves down, and Cora wouldn't be able to gain information on just what was happening unless she went herself or sent considerable agents.
She instead decided to sit on it, and build the other networks.
Effects: Relatively weak, but solid network founded in the Sister Cities. Will give a decent flow of information/News Posts.
******
Come Together
It is not the sort of campaign that Cora Graves could lead. She knew that from the start, and so she gave the task primarily over to Mayor Booster and Maggie and Zookeeper, both of whom had closer ties to some of these communities, ties that had a lot less to do with a spy network and a lot more to do with long and sustained contact. Just because both the communities and herself shared an abiding interest in the river didn't make true links.
So she sat in a room doing research and receiving and sending more dispatches. King Stoneguts arrived and they spent some time talking over the matter, hoping that they could successfully help gather together an alliance of states dedicated to carefully pruning the new batch of pirates without forcing the Freehold into direct confrontation, at least not yet, and meaning that any future confrontation would be more heavily supported.
Initial Freeholds: 1d100+10 (Heavily affected)+0 (Resources to spare)+5 (Mayoral Diplomacy)+5 (Stoneguts Planning)=87
Small Freeholds: 1d100+15 (Totally affected)-3 (Resources to spare)+10 (Diplomacy)+2 (Initial success)=121, holy shit.
Large Freeholds: 1d100+0 (What Pirates?)+5 (Resources to spare)+8 (Diplomacy)+4 (Other successes)=100
So Goes Alexandria, So Goes the Nation...or something: 1d100+5 (Minimal affect)+10 (Resources to spare)+10 (Diplomacy)+6 (Other Freeholds)=117
The Source of it all: 1d100+3 (Resources)+10 (Other Freeholds)+3 (Diplomacy)=103

"We have a video of it, ma'am," the agent, Chancy, said. He took out a tape and put it in the player, and Cora watched the screen.
"And we shall work together to build a new future for the River," Mayor Booster roared, and a room full of people who should be spitting in his face joined in. The room held almost a hundred Changelings.
At a glance, she could see the Patriarch of Alexandria rubbing shoulders with the God-King of the Source, next to the representatives of every faction Cora had seen on the river.
And they were eating it up as he gave a speech and began making proposals that Cora had not authorized him to give, concessions she hadn't expected.
"And thus I would like to ask everyone here to consider not only working against the so-called 'Empire' in the next while, but more than that, forming a League of protection similar to the one that has been forming in South America. Together in this new world, we shall find new solutions for the problems that face us."
It...it shouldn't be working this well, Cora thought. It wasn't reasonable, and surely anyone of intelligence greater than room temperature and cynicism greater than a newborn puppy would be able to--
They were clapping now.
"Ma'am, should we execute Operation Recall Election? He's clearly acting outside of the parameters you set," Chancy asked, cracking his knuckles, one by one by one. When one looked like a cross between a walking skeleton and a boar, there were a lot of knuckles to crack.
Now, there were certainly times where deposing and possibly assassinating Mayor Booster might have been a good idea, hene the plan, but at the moment it wasn't necessary, though a conversation would have to be had involving his tactics and his ambitions.
She was also impressed that he'd managed to keep her from knowing the details of what he was saying. She'd known he was going quite far, but until she specifically chose to sneak agents in to record it, he'd carefully remained off official knowledge, carefully working the backrooms.
Yet with this large speech, it had gotten far too big to hide anymore.
Do you reel him in?
[] Yes, he's clearly flouting Cora Graves' authority in even mentioning the idea of creating some sort of River League, and while the fact that people are willing to go along with it is a miracle, if it goes wrong (and there's a rather solid chance of it going quite badly), well, that's damage done to the Freehold.
[] No, this is...well, there are reasons the League couldn't possibly work...but there are also reasons why the League could work, and the fact that people are willing to go along with it, at least so far as discussing the possibility, addresses some of the weaknesses of the ideas of the leagues.

Study, Study, Study
1d100=2...uh, okay.
Persephone Powers couldn't be located and contacted, owing to having wandered off into the Hedge on some sort of field trip to study something.
Cora had double-checked, and no, she wasn't anywhere nearby.
That's...really odd.
Effects: Nothing now, option doesn't get done, next week will roll to see if anything goes really, really wrong. Be glad I didn't turn that Nat 2 into more of a disaster.

Visions
Mrs Adams: 1d100-25 (No hints for her visions)=18
"No, I don't know either," Cora Graves admitted, "But I shall write down the descriptions you've given me. They might matter later." She of course wanted to be polite to Mrs. Adams. "In fact, your visions themselves are deep and profound. The beginning and end could imply all sorts of things, so do not despair."
Of course, Mrs. Adams wasn't going to take Cora's failure to find anything meaningful in terms of information from the vision lightly. Both participants were likely supernatural, but this was less a fact and more an estimation of the nature of Mrs. Adam's visions, which always had a strong hint of metaphoric, but were culturally very simple.

Layla Byrnes: 1d100+10 (Lessons)-5 (Hostility)=93
"You need to focus," Cora said, her voice empty as Layla strained against the weights, "Your body should be able to alter itself enough that you can lift it, based on your capacities."
Layla lay in a sweating heap on the gym floor as she tried to lift the dumbbells. She squirmed a little as Cora continued, "Mastering your body is the only way to master your powers. Your visions. You saw something real, did you know that, a real threat to the city."
"The...beautiful people? They weren't human, they didn't die like normal people. They…" Layla began, then trailed off. "But they were dying, rotting."
"Yes, we believe that there is a group of entities that seeks the psychic energy of emotion and harvests it," Cora said, "Any further details on what you said would be quite helpful."
Cora crossed her arms behind her back, considering the likelihood that Layla had details to share.
"They...they can't spread. Or rather, I saw a birth, and I saw the birth as what it…fuck, it sounds crazy."
"What?" Cora asked.
"They were born, and a creature seemed to slip inside the babies, white and cold and hungry, and their eyes went glassy and the baby struggled. They're not made, they're born, and something is inside them, something sick and slick and...not physical," Layla said.
"That was very helpful, thank you," Cora said absently, "Now, if you cannot do that, then sit-ups."
Layla groaned.

Talk Less, Smile More…
Cora Graves stood in a hospital. It was cold, and she wanted to wrap herself in that coldness, and yet she couldn't. This had been her responsibility. She had been monitoring him, and yet for all of his care and his uncertainty, he had made a mistake somewhere.
Perhaps a few mistakes, for a young man doesn't get a broken arm and and a bruised face out of nothing.
"Do you know what could have caused the beating?" a police officer asked Jason "Smiles" and of course he shook his head. No, no, no, to all of the questions. Cora had ways to listen in, and she used them, she used all of them.
He feared the police, and perhaps she shouldn't be surprised at all. On the way in to interrogate them, she'd heard at least one slur, and so who was to say they would be sympathetic towards a young gay man.
When she asked, he admitted, "They, they said I walked funny. That I must be some kind of...kind of"
"Who," Cora asked.
"Listen, they were jerks, but I don't want," Jason "Smiles" said, the scars on his face even more evident now that he was bruised up. "I know they were thinking they wanted to hurt me, but that doesn't mean--"
"You think I would do something?" Cora asked, her voice neutral, empty in fact.
"Y-yes. They don't, please don't…"
Kill them?
Not necessarily. She wasn't a bloodthirsty woman.
But someone had just hurt someone who was hers. Had hurt them for stupid reasons. Drunk idiots no doubt, but drunk idiots who could have killed someone. It was easy to go overboard when you're beating someone up, easy to go just a 'little too far' and then you're a murderer.
Cora Graves might kill them. But she wasn't a merciful woman, and she wasn't a good woman, when it came down to it.
So she might not.
"You're staying at my house until further notice."
"R...really?" Jason asked, eyes wide.
"Yes," Cora said, realizing that somehow her two person household--plus of course Jeanne and Jacques--had doubled in size. First Eva, and now Jason "Smiles."
Effect: Jason is now in-house, who knows what this leads to. Bathroom lines increased.

If anything this should allow a better chance of increasing the number of spies all around and creating a united front against some truly horrible things that we may see in Dresdenverse
Otherwise... Amazing

I have to say, Cora and her peers haven't really been challenged by much so far. They have been pretty much in control of every situation they have found themselves in.
Obviously I do not expect them to be like Harry and get into pissing matches with things that no sane person would willfully antagonise.
Nevetheless as the old saying goes, if you really want to know the character of a man (or Changeling as the case may be) then hang him over the edge of a volcano and see how he reacts.

I quite enjoyed it as it is so far. We as a third observer going, "That guy is like a walking catastrophe. What's he doing?!"
But I am even more looking forward to meeting Lea (or Mab).
