That being said, does it mention Hogs Hollow? Is it possible that this trip to the West is when Eb discovered where he ends up settling down on his farm?

He doesn't appear directly. Luccio just alludes to him being the current Captain at the time and some of his warlock-hunting exploits.

In 1889 McCoy says that Pietrovich isn't under investigation, and in 1902 he says that he isn't speaking in official capacity. But that might be Blackstaff McCoy speaking, and not Warden McCoy.
But there are absolutely no mentions of him being Captain McCoy, which I feel would be relevant.
So it seems to me McCoy laid down the cloak and picked up the staff as part of the same general event.

I feel like I'm missing something here, and I didn't know that was even possible unless possibly it's from one of the graphic novels...

I dug it. It's a little predictable (No more than you'd expect from a prequel story.) Luccio is a bad ass, I always love getting another creature featured, and the idea of her very famous team up buddy being a venator was pretty cool.
A hell of a story for a mere 50 pages. I want to see more of her opposition. We didn't get to see him use his magic. The ending says there's more story to tell.
Here's hoping for A Few Warlocks More...

It's from the supplement to the DFRPG. There's a whole section on the Russian Revolution and Simon Pietrovich. A nice chuck of it is correspondence between Simon and Ebenezer (who is the Blackstaff). The latter is warning him not to use magic to help the Tsar.

--- Quote from: Rykel22 on July 06, 2017, 12:05:38 PM ---But hasn't it been stated that if someone uses a blast of wind or force to knock someone back, and they fall off a roof, it's still a violation of the 1st Law?

Honestly? It depends on who does it, why he did it, and the details. The Council will make distinctions in the grey areas. For ex, if a junior Wizard used magic to immobilize someone and then shot them while immobilized, and he couldn't shoot them any other way, yeah, Langtry would call for his death...unless it was clear that catastrophe was prevented, say.
But the Council did pretty much exactly that to Kemmler. They rendered him physically helpless and held him that way using magic, then used mundane weapons to kill him, thus avoiding a direct First Law violation.
I would imagine the Wardens get a lot more leeway on that than most Wizards.
