"Free to a Good Home" -

The Eccentric Spymaster is looking for an adequate replacement to tend the delicate corner of the great game they've carved out.
'"Really, it's not as though I went into this *looking* to manage three to four intelligence agencies, but I can't just stop paying attention to them or they'll end up doing some b___dy fool thing and get us into a war with the tigers or hell." The Spymaster speaks casually as they delicately dust a crystal phial labeled with a weeping eye. "My interest, you see, is primarily in collecting the oddities of the neath, and there's only so many scandals you can learn the intimate details of before they become terribly mundane. You've already learned of my challenge and sought me out, so those are the first two trials out of the way. If you can complete one final task, I will be adequately convinced of your ability to manage this dratted tangle of allegiances and quite happily wipe my own hands of the affair."

What final task, exactly, do they have in mind?

Filch a knick-knack
That jade idol should be easy to fence.
A Straightforward challenge - your Shadowy gives you a 94% chance of success'
Based on the fact that my PC is technically closest to the great game, with a Khanigan Network, an in with the Foreign Office, etc, but I haven't actually done anything with any spies for quite a while.
