If people have forgotten who Master Gatti is, here is the relavant part:
Ferran: "Its really fascinating that I encounter señor Blasio here. It's interesting that I did heard you señor with my own ears trying to play one brother against the other and accuse the good doctor here of being a poisoner. I thought I've seen you before, but now I'm certain. Last time I saw you a couple of fortnights ago in the port of Ragusa, accompanying master Gatti. Before making insinuations or accusations señor better explain yourself, because one of the things I can't abide with is a villain, friend to smugglers and slavers, accusing innocents."
It takes Blasio a few moments before recognition washes over his face. "I hardly have to explain myself to a sailor, but if you had not noticed, Venice is at war. With the majority of our warships battling Charles to the West, the Ottoman Corsairs have become more brazen than ever. If you must know, I have been working through the process of attempting to broach an alliance with them. Venice has vast wealth to spend, but we are short on ships and time and cannot sustain a fight on two fronts. If we could come to agreement with the Ottomans to allow supply ships with Venician flags pass unmolested it would of huge benefit to allowing Venice to continue holding off the Spaniards and the Holy Roman Empire. As we are on the brink of ruin, Venice is in no position to refuse even an unsavory ally." Giacomo nods, as if to confirm.
You... Game Master!
Excellent idea!

Major or Minor?
Ferran wants to spy on them for a while, and if there's no significant commotion, he'll try asking questions about Gatti's ship. When did it reach port? How many men are on it? Normal sailors or also warriors? Did anyone see Rocco and Blasio coming to the ship, and if yes, when? I know its a desperate gamble, but the young Catalan is too curious for his own good.

Minor for now. He has the resources to be a Major, but Ferran is still only a nuisance at the moment.
Ferran gathers:
Ship reached port late last night.
Crew of 10-20 men.
Unknown if all sailors or also fighters.
Noone recognizes the descriptions of Rocco or Blasio.
Master Gatti has been making numerous trips around the city.
Also, check out the Info Dump thread, I've compiled and added all the NPC portraits we have been using.

Is everyone ready to go to the next morning, the day of the duel, or do Ferran and Karl need more work to be done with Rumors and the Warehouse before then?
Reminder, Lucio is due to arrive some time the next day too.

Ferran makes sure no one follows him back to the Acerbi household. He intentionally double tracks and is always vigilant to loose any talis attached. Then he informs everyone about the new development.

Yeah, we can proceed to next day. Cirillo just gathers all his equipment and tries to find replacements for what have been used. Then he rests as it has been quite hectic.
Great idea. We can jump to the island then I guess.
We might need to do this fight by posting on the forum instead of Roll20, since Marras will need to see the blow by blow to decide when/if Cirillo wants to throw the towel.

I think it makes sense to finish the phrase (people don't have instant reaction time). But if you know you dealt a really big blow in the first tempo you might just back-off in the second to give them a chance to surrender instead of just murdering them.
Legally, once the towel is thrown that's the result of the duel no matter what happens after.
Your wounds are fully healed.

You can take some other guards as backup if you like. Giorgio will tag along if you want him to. If it comes down to a 2PCs + 4NPC vs 6NPCs or something, I will run the PC vs NPC combats fully and the NPC vs NPC parts using the Simple Combat rules.
I think that is what we will have to do.
Karl wants to inspect the warehouse as soon as possible. He has a few traps he plans to set up before the ambush.
Can you describe the warehouse ?
Also, since there can be two or even three scenes running at the same time, would it be simpler to set up a separate OOC thread for each scene?
