Rescue plans

In the library at Qi, Deneir takes time to answer questions and provide encouragement to Evangeline. He explains that the path seen in Evangeline’s life was perfect for the next Keeper of Knowledge. He also shares that the Order of Truth does see something with her and fears losing that possible power. After explaining to Evangeline what his book and quill do, he excuses himself and leaves the room, disappearing before exiting the library. 


Kadath fills in Professor Tomelson with the cards. He confirms that with the power of the gods increasing, the power within the Order of Truth will decrease as they will begin to lose the ear of the governing authorities. He also offers sanctuary to the group should they find themselves in need. 


Fix and Forsythe, in their own ways, discover the Order of Truth has hired additional help in patrolling the upper area of Qi, specifically between Durkhal and the Trentson Estate.


Later that evening, Evangeline contacts Gavyn who confirms leaving Boreg upon Brumand’s request. Meanwhile, Fix and Kadath take a trip to Far Brohn to visit Corinni and Shallow (the blink cat). Upon request of the enchantment Fix wishes to have applied to the newly forged pendants, Shallow reveals herself to be a young elven girl. She implies this has been done for other pendants and offers her assistance. A deal is struck and work begins. As Shallow and Corinni work on the enchantments, Fix and Kadath decide to make introductions to the four members that drew Fix’s attention. After meeting with these four, and informing them to stay on guard should Gidna return, Fix and Kadath return to the shop and pick up the completed pendants, giving one to Kadath immediately. Once they return to Qi, Fix calls on Evangeline and Forsythe, giving them pendants as well.


The next morning, Philethis wakes Fix as he reports in, “It has begun, Brumand serves you well,” but seems taken back when Fix responds. As they all begin to wake, Evangeline is given a letter from Edaric with a coded message, “Do not come they will not let you leave.”
