((Could I have a spot on the waitlist?))
Sure.
Update 2"Whew, that's some strong spirit. Reminds me of swill back home."
Follow the strongest smell, I'll find the source eventually.
You stumble about on the streets, catching a few glances here and there. One churlish toff offers you a spot at his circus.
He's actually your key, being doused in the scent of inebriating beverages. He came out of a street alley just in front of you, so you turn to investigate and discover a vent on the ground through which you clearly recognize the smell. There doesn't seem to be a distinct entrance, though. On ground level, you're next to a pizzeria and a... 'communications store'? Both stores have the same flyer taped on the inside of their windows:
This property
is under protection of
The Meteor Muffins
"Let's try to sneak up on him."
The Courier will try to sneak up on him, keeping his revolver at the ready.
"Meh, why not, I'll yet take the lead."
Bracken hangs back around a corner, sipping from his whiskey bottle.
Bracken hangs back out of sight, conserving energy, presumably.
The courier enters sneak mode, [0/0] (first roll...) and promptly trips on the ground. He gets up, face and clothes covered in mud, and gazes upon the shins of a muscular clod. The brute shows cracks open his lips making a shallow grin, revealing his mismatched teeth and issuing a pungent breath, which hangs as a mist in the chilly air.
He's tossing the clay tablet thing up and down in his hand. It really doesn't look like anything more than a neatly-cut block of chert-colored rock.
Nyar's eyes glide past the crateward goon in a surreptitious scan. Promising.
He ducks and flips and such until he lands back in the ally and strolls out of the ally down the street in plain vision of this goon. To really sell it he sends out a bunch of darting glances, pretty much at everything besides the mook.
He strolls down another passage, large and busy enough that the goon, if he is in pursuit, would follow. Once out of vision Nyar gives his shoulders a rest on the wall and waits.
[6/10] You feign a convenient level of ignorance and soon enough, as you wait, you hear footsteps coming up the alley, projecting a furtively-cloaked shadow on the sunlit ground before you. It slowly advances, with due caution, and is about to pass you...
"Mhm.. smells like gullible mobster. Off I go." Mephistopheles mutters as he begins to move towards the source.
Trail the source of the 'scent', deception skills ready.
Illusionary magic would have either been more appropriate or a fitting replacement for pyromancy.. it's fine though. I'll play my hand as is.
You look around for entrances to the city underground, but all you find is a cellar door in the back of a bakery. There's a big padlock keeping it shut, the doors are made of metal, and there's a pair of extremely muscular window cleaners about two stories up who are riding a wooden scaffold, held up by a pulley system which happens to terminate on the ground right in front of you. There is possibility for mischief.

The Auspex
"The Auspex is seemingly a interdimensional communication device. Hard routed to communicate with Nayrs personal interdimensional allies. Can be used sparingly (GMs definition) to summon reinforcements. Summons randomly: 5 Roman legionaries, 5 Gondorian soldiers, 5 SWAT operatives, 5 Korean war era American combat infantry men, 5 imperial guardsmen, 5 Zeon footsoldiers, 5 First Order Stormtroopers or a temporary time clone of himself that I get to write dialogue for. These reinforcements (even the Romans) are tempered and aware of their situation as Nyar's interdimensional allies.
If the time clone uses the Auspex, his interdimensional reinforcements fade out of existence when his spurge expires." -Wunderkatze
