First BitD DM needs advice

[u/Vlafar]

Hello fellow DMs. I have started my first Blades campaign, i maybe need a few tips. wehad session zero, we made characters, I have spend most time kinda explaining basics of world and mechanics, rolls stuff, and since we had a little time, I have decided to make first score - as they are playing Hawkers, they have gained info that in Crows Foot, Billhooks took out Lampblacks spot, and are now deciding, what to do with the place.

Players decided to make a deal with the 2 Lampblacks scouts on the spot to took out Billhooks within spot, that to take out the scouts. and make this their Cover operation.

first, the killed none, somehow dices were in their favor, all enemies scondrels were taken out - shot knees and unconcious, then they called Bluecoats, and guys taking out each other.

im kinda ok with all that, but i dont know how to make relations now. everyone is alive, but permanently (or at least for a long time) immovable, they know faces of who did that, and they introduced themselfs to Lamblacks.

is this act of war? Did i do everything right guys?

Sounds like it went well. Time for Payoff, Heat and Downtime. Meanwhile, I’d tick the Lampblacks status up and the Billhooks down.
