"Known" might be overselling it a bit, but:
• #CustomMagic design, including The Goblin Game, Zeff's Birthday Cards, and GDS3 interviews
• #Ravnicrew #IntFic, where we designed 5e characters and adventures through the magic of polls

A human man sits behind the reception desk, taking incomprehensible notes in a tiny notebook. You approach, and he grunts, without looking up, to an elaborate machine to the left of the desk. The sign above the machine states "TAKE A TICKET AND WAIT FOR YOUR NUMBER."

You ascend the outdoor staircase that leads to the Izzet lab a few minutes later. The foyer is painted a garish red, with a smattering of equally garish paintings of notable Izzet inventors and their inventions.

"Sorry," she mutters, finally. "This isn't on you. I know that, and you're right about the Orzhov not letting this go so easily. Let's get this done." She stops to think for a moment.
"Are you ok, with the drugging and kidnapping and all?"
"Just a migraine. I'll be ok."

Someone telling her where she can go or what she can do is absolute anathema to her, so you let her rip into you a little bit longer while you tune her out.
After a few more minutes she stops, and it's uncomfortably quiet for the next quarter of a mile.

Ves knows exactly what buttons to push to really piss you off, but she clearly needs to vent. Despite Yaszen's insistence that you all lay low, you're positive she performed her standing 20 minute slot at "Pact or Fiction," one of her regular clubs a couple days ago.

"'It'll be a grand bit of sport! He's so naive and well meaning, I bet I could get him to drop everything he's doing with just a small fire and a bit of misdirection. I won't even have to ask, he's such a rube!

"Ves..." you try to cut her off before she builds up too much steam, without success.
"'Of course, while I wait for my next bolt of luminous inspiration to ejaculate from my prodigious brain, I'll have a bit of fun ruining the life of my nerdy neighbor and his friends!

"'The brilliant subtext and nuanced use of negative space will finally prove my genius to those snobbish critics, and finally they will see me for what I really am, and not the broken, sociopathic scammer they claim me to be.'"

...and we're all hiding out because some vampire decided she needs to read Yaszen's journal! 'Dear diary: Today I, the only True Ravnican Artist, begin work on my next masterpiece - a still life of a half-chewed kebob.

You consider a moment. "The same could be true for Yaszen, now that I think about it."
"You don't think that's a problem Grozdan?" She's livid. "We got swept up into whatever this is because of him! You and Juzba have each been kidnapped, your house destroyed...

"Think about it," you say. "As... Generous as the Orzhov terms are, if we just destroy it, you think they won't find a way to pin some kind debt on us? I also don't put it past Kirce to come after us out of vengeance if she can't claim her prize."

"She thinks our deal with the Orzhov will work in her best interest," you say.
"She's having us do the heavy lifting, and she'll kill us the moment it looks like the end is in sight," says Vesmova. Her ears twitch, something you've noticed she does when angry.

"Kirce captured me this morning." That stops Vesmova dead in her tracks. Before she can formulate a question, you elaborate.
"She got to one of my other parolees. He drugged me. They let me go, but now it looks like she wants us to carry on."

"Really?" she asks, clearly annoyed. "What did he need that was so important?"
"Hopefully nothing," you say. There may be some trouble brewing with Yaszen, and Ves would likely only fuel the fire if she had specifics. On that note, it's time to tear off the bandage.

You don't have much of a poker face, but you hope Yaszen will accept your acquiescence at face value.
"Good," he says. He stays relatively silent at that point, enraptured by his own thoughts and schemes. You decide to let him walk ahead and find out how Vesmova is doing.

"Look, if they start losing too much money on this venture, the Orzhivian may want to cut ties. Let's drag this out, see if we can chase our own tails until our new friend loses interest. Are you in?"

"Maybe you're right, but now we have a literal ghost haunting us, expecting a 40% cut of we don't even know what. We don't know what's at the end of this book!" Yaszen is getting agitated as he rambles.

"She was protecting her... our friend," you reply sharply. "I don't know I would have approached it the same way, but we were able to get Juzba back."
Yaszen wasn't expecting any push back from you, and his face flashes in anger. Almost immediately, he recomposes himself.

`Ves shoots you a dirty look as you match pace with Yaszen through the busy streets. You'll have to fill her in a little later. Yaszen's summons seemed a little more urgent.
"She really screwed us over, getting the Orzhov mixed up in this," he says once you approach.

Vesmova and Yaszen are pointedly not talking to each other, with Vesmova trailing behind Juzba and Yaszen a few yards behind her.
Ves looks like she could use some company, but Yaszen is clearly trying to get your attention.

The weather is nice enough, and you decide to make the hour-or-so trek across town.
Sarovni and Juzba walk ahead, having a friendly conversation and apparently hitting it off.

...to see if you can find someone within the Izzet to assist in translating the book at the center of all of your problems.
The entire Tenth is littered with Izzet labs, and there's one near Nivix above an academy. They might be the best equipped to assist with this task.

Just this morning you were drugged and kidnapped, then made aware that your involvement in this misadventure is essentially irrelevant.
Now you are headed with your friends, Vesmova, Juzba, and Yaszen, along with your new Orzhivian attache, Sarovni...

Half tempted to see if I could get the #ravnicrew #intfic back up and running over here. That story had a lot more life in it.
