Preparations

The group spent the day individually gathering information from Deneir (through the book), Arias, and Kosha when she arrived. 

Evangeline spent some time in her room with the book, learning how to recall information, asking questions, and scribing a spell. Through her inquiries, she learned that the "5" do not have direct connection, but will work together for mutual gains, though it does not always come out equally mutual. When questioning about her own qualifications, it informed her she had intelligence beyond her upbringing, that which could not be learned. She also read that the Order of Truth sees something within her as well. She also asked about Philethis and discovered that he serves Leira, but is bound to serve the Jagged Dream (acquired through a shrewd business deal). 

Fix spoke with his mother, Arias, who confirms that Renio did set the ward around the office, but she believed he added something additional to it. Kadath and Evangeline confirmed this and were able to see it was tracking blood tattoos that would pass through the barrier and Fix was able to dispel this ward. Arias also told Fix that she had a contact for information within the Order of Truth named Brezin Silverspell, but his loyalty is fickle. 

Arriving disheveled, Kosha shares that she and Elijah had been in Auspur tracking down some information about an item that was taken from him. They were targets of an ambush and in the chaos, Elijah told her to split and they would meet back up at the order. She was able to flee and cast a spell that Tatra had prepared for her which brought her to the Trentson Estate. After Forsythe heals her a bit, she is informed about the plans to infiltrate Castle Aventur and the Durkhal. She agrees to aid them in both endeavors.

With a plan to go to the Durkhal at dusk, Arias contacts some to aid in a distraction and Forsythe goes out to find Devin.
