OK, we have several things on our plate at once.  Here's an attempt to
itemize things:

1) Charles is in jail
	Situation:  Saw stealing earlier this morning from parliament
	  Mr. Bradley (aristocrat) is pressing charges.  Says he'll drop them if
	  the ship leaves at once, and if we give him 'the item' (the claw)
    Questions:
	   -How does legal system work?  Do we stand a chance defending normally?
	   -Was Charles impersonated by bearded green guy (BGG)?
	   -Is Mr. Bradley in cahoots with BGG, or is he also being taken
	    advantage of?
	Possible actions:
	   -Ask Torvald (Pierre's friend from the R&C) about Mr. Bradley's
	    character and the legal system.
	   -If Mr. Bradley is a 'bad guy', find an aristocratic rival of his
	    that may be willing to help.
	   -Break Charles out of jail

2) Monster on the loose
	Situation:  Three people today so far (and almost Charles) have been
	  brutally dismembered by a beast who seems to be invisible and can walk
	  through walls (though leaving footprints)
	Question:  
	  -Is monster connected to ship (which seems likely)?  
	  -If so, how?  Attracted to blood spot?  Haunting it?
	  -What is the nature of the monster?  Unseelie?  Natural?
	Possible actions:
	  -Ask Mr. Bradley what he knows (may be the reason for him wanting us
	    gone)
	  -Destroy ship
	  -Destroy stained deck
	  -Find out how to destroy monster
	  -Find out how to appease monster
	  -Find out how to drive monster away
	  -Find some sucker to buy the ship

3) Marquis du Dore (Jean-Claude) missing
	Situation:  Shot by bearded green guy early this morning, recovered in
	  the Explorer's Guild, but just after he woke up, the Guild was invaded
	  and the Marquis escaped.  One invader has been caught and speaks an
	  unintelligible tongue.  The Marquis seemed convinced of a conspiracy,
	  which may be related
	Questions:
	  -Conspiracy?
	  -Where is the Marquis?  Will he try to contact us, or do we go after
	    him?
	  -Who's this guy the Explorer's captured?  What language does he speak?
	Possible actions:
	  -Wait for Marquis to contact us
	  -Search for the Marquis
	  -Research conspiracy (best lead is R&C)
	  -Come back to Explorer's Guild after Larissa speaks with guy.

4) The Claw
	Situation:  Marquis & co. found it under abandoned Vaticine church a few
	  years back, north of Caerleon.  When you hold it, you feel like you're
	  flying a particular direction.  Unseelie seem to dislike it (or
	  dislike Marquis having it)--hence previous adventure.  Roll said it
	  could be used to find 'Cup of the Others', which may be Unseelie
	  equivalent of Graal (wow).  Depicted in a painting, 'Service for All
	  the Dead', which was last seen maybe 50 years ago in aforementioned
	  Vaticine church.
	Questions:
	  -Where is the painting now?
	  -How is it used?
	  -Why does Mr. Bradley want it?
	  -How did Mr. Bradley find out about it?
	Possible actions:
	  -Try to track painting (Church connections?)
	  -Give it to Mr. Bradley
	  -Don't give it to Mr. Bradley
	  -Pretend to give it to Mr. Bradley
	  -Try to destroy it
