Nessa Nina Quickpick Rumbauld Pennyluck

In A Stygian Gambit, Ellenor got back into contact with Nessa and convinced her to join the Golden Vault as a contact of Meera Raheer. The gnome was contacted by animal messenger alongside Rasmus O'Dranith, Leilatha Vencaryn, and Ellenor herself to meet with Duplicity Kye at the Brine Widow. They accepted her charge to rob the Afterlife Casino, as its Unknown proprietor Quentin Togglepocket Whee Quickweasel Witt had betrayed her and stolen her previous winnings. The thieves were given Gildur's Map and told to re-acquire her 5000 gold as well as an Erinyes statuette, the grand prize of Quentin's "Grand Minauros Invitational" tournament.

When not playing games and gambling, Nessa procured information around the casino, especially from the bartender Libation. She then made marks with Ellenor, and the half-elf used feminine wiles to distract Thrill while Nessa stole his keycard. The gang uncovered Quentin's hidden Spined Devil guards, the Minotaur Skeleton guarding the vault, and the layout of the casinos Magic Mirrors: they had all the information they needed for a great plan. 

On the day of the heist, Nessa was supposed to wait for Leila and Rasmus to let her in to the employee-only area, but Libation caught wind of her plan. She revealed the truth, and cut the bartended in on the deal, which ended up helpful as he ensured no new employees entered the backrooms. Eventually, she was let in, and robbed Quentin's office, then used his staff to control the Minotaur Skeleton guarding the casino vault.

After plundering the vault for items and gold, she and Leila made their way to the tournament, where Ellenor scoped out the statuette's casing. Leila played "sick" by spewing spores on the guards and Quentin during Anaïs Bellefleur's championship game. Nessa used the distraction to pick the lock and replace the statuette with a gold gnomish dildo. Amidst fog clouds and illusions, the thieves scaled down the Unknown's waterfall, and coordinated with Duplicity to pick them up via rowboat.

They sailed off into the Shifting Blue, having successfully robbed the Afterlife. 

In Break-In At Bleak End, Nessa Nina learned from Gorli Glumfall that her grandson had not shown up for his shift. Instead, she received a note indicating that he was again in debt to the Glitterati, and to assemble as much of her former Crew as she could before noon. With little time, she gathered Elle, who knew of Mercy's location; as they met him, Punmiri re-appeared while being chased by guards. All three agreed to help their old master, and they went to the Pixis Palace.

Don Coriander Thorn requested that the former Crew steal a key from Bleak End, in exchange for Merben's life and a small percent of the take. During negotiation, Elle noticed sympathy from Snapdragon Poplarchop, and learned from him to contact Captain Jolly of the Jolly Dodger. At a cut rate, they boarded and sailed to Farrozandmar, seeking out the Plot and Hook. They learned from Hollyhock Barrowes that only Prisoner 13 knew of the key's location, and were given Bleak End Magical Maps that acted as arcane lockbreakers. To enter the prison, they decided to knock out incoming staff and pose as new employees, keeping their targets in the hull of the Dodger in the meantime - Nessa posed as the guard Persimmon Copperpot, requiring Punmiri and Ellenor to forge a set of fake armor for her to move comfortably in.

The former Crew successfully entered Bleak End and learned how to moved around the prison without arousing suspicion while adopting work, though Nessa's size failed to made a good impression on her boss Placidia Liepina. Mercy had to use magic to pin the blame of an escape attempt on Prisoner 76, but save for that close call, they integrated flawlessly. Nessa used her Three-Dragon Ante skills to gain insider information from experienced guards, learning the secrets of the prison over friendly games. They managed a perfect plan, contacting Prisoner 13 with the intent to break her out. However, the dwarf wanted to remain in the prison, but was willing to trade the key's location for the Bleak End Records of Imprisonment.

With magic and guile, Poons and Nessa stole the ledgers in the surveillance tower, as well as gold and a Wand of Binding belonging to Warden Ramos Stormforged. They learned the dwarf was also named "Voice", taken in due to their association with the Fold, as well as some dirt indicating the Hollyhock was an informant on the Glitterati. After intentional poisoning themselves with medicine in their food, they were able to get to the hospital bay and trade the records to Prisoner 13. The Dwarf-Door Tattoo Key was located on her body, which Elle was able to trace with her forging skills.

Their plan failed right at the end when Nessa, who had set the surveillance tower to become a beacon, had no legitimate way to rejoin the rest of the Crew in the prison's hospital. She descended the tower, panicked, and ultimately had to dash for the doors. Though she was able to lock out those chasing her and Mercy was able to light a beacon to signal to their ship, the sorcerer nearly killed himself with a wild magic surge. Warden Ramos put Bleak End on lockdown, allowing archers to magically see through their Dust of Disappearance, and they had to endure a near-deadly storm of arrows as they slowly drifted away in a rowboat.

Through illusions and healing, as well as Mercy's Wind Fan, they were able to board the Jolly Dodger just barely alive. With no other ships on Aone Island to chase them, the Crew managed to sail off, once again as successful thieves.
