All according to plan

Galigo gives Fix a command word to return to his shop directly, then teleports the group to Far Brohn. Upon entering the city, the group can see it is busy and several people hustle about with a hurried purpose. The party however shows little interest as they head to the shop of Shallow, the blink cat.  


Once at the shop Corinni, the wizard, and Fix negotiate a cost to have a limited telepathy enchanted upon the circlet that Fix had forged, however it would take a couple days to complete the enchantment. Upon hearing this, Fix asked about teleportation and Corinni agreed to teleport them to Qi with a stone that can send them back when they are ready. 


In Qi, Seeker checks in with his captain, Pif Surnosk, and shares about the recent events. Pif agreed to get a sending stone for Seeker and would have that the next day. Evangeline checked in with her mentor, Leslyn, and shared some of her experience and left one of the paintings from the keep with her for authentication. 


The party then decided to go back to the catacombs where Kadath received his sword. Once in the secret room, they investigated the door once more, noticing the change. It was no longer a field of battle, but now a field of silhouetted people. Kadath then attempted to push his sword into it, though it resisted, it was slowly going into the image. The party then moved into the next room investigating the pedestal again. Kadath was able to pull up a loose section and found a card that matched the door.


After leaving the catacombs, they proceeded to Fix’s home. Once inside, they all heard his mother yell for him to come to her office. Inside, she asked him about the places she had heard of him visiting. Getting caught up on some of the things that were happening, she informed him that his presence was requested at that evening’s ball, hosted for Lady Gaera. She also invites the rest of the party and dismisses them to prepare.


At the ball, Fix is announced as Lord Kufic Trentson, earning some ire from Gavyn (his brother). The group recognizes some of the prominent guests: Pif Surnosk, Elijah Torenni, High Priest Renio, Priestess Leslyn, and Gaera (with her group). One of the others that stood out they discovered was Lord Jinik Reprut from Uxphon. Mingling through the guests, Fix approached Gaera. Gaera informed him of the favor she desires: to retrieve a chalice from Lord Strulduk in Charmonde. She described the chalice and informed Fix she would have proof of her ownership come morning. 


After all the guests had dispersed, Arias asked what Gaera had discussed with him. Kadath and Evangeline checked for unwanted listeners and discovered an invisible orb, which winked out as Kadath reached for it. Knowing it was clear to talk, Fix shared with his mother what the favor was. She cautioned him and warned him not to underestimate Gaera. The party then dispersed to their respective accommodations for the evening to rest
