I think that i would make Wynsal cancel the festival after the end of book 3 and maybe making the twilight four (three?) a threath to national security so the different guard districts will need to work together or something like that.

Maybe is a little offtopic, but what are some things that the players can do with months of downtime on Absalom?

We only had time to run the hostage situation, but it was really tense. My party instead of negotiating with the robbersjust tried to kill them all, so two of the hostages died. Probably i will make Vancaskerkin put the blame on the token guard or something like that (my party really hates the token guard so this will probably make Reginald more likeable for them).

The funniest part was when they where thinking how the heis will start. They planned that maybe the copper hand will use the Graveraker to enter the bank, or that they will try to enter disguesed that clients. When the investigators said that maybe the robbers will just blow up one wall the party just dismissed thath idea.

One of the things I’ve been planning/doing to maintain that day-to-day cop feel is running “Fair Patrol” segments whenever the players have downtime, or between chapters.

I split the group up into teams of 2, and have them patrol different parts of the fair, where I run short, non-combat, roleplay-focused encounters.

For example, one group got caught up in an Irriseni noble’s attempt to ditch her guards and explore the fair incognito. The players decided to cover for her, and gave her some advice on good/safe places to check out in the fair.

Another group ran into a leshy street preacher who was raving about the coming end times (a reference to the age of ashes campaign some of my players were in recently—two people were playing leshies, and both took the prophetic dreams background, so the GM decided all leshies were experiencing disturbing dreams of fire).

I really like it, my group finished the first chapter the last week, ithink that i will make this so they explore the fair a little. (And see the dragonfly pagoda before the chapter 2)
