	We do some scouting about and go to the pub called The Ellison which is located near the area we want to find out about. We mostly find that people are talking about our upcoming play. We meet William the thief. We make an appointment to come back and see Benzene later that night. On the way home we are attacked by spiders which try to ambush us in the streets around The Ellison. We notice that the entire local citizen are foaming at the mouth and chewing stuff. Darkness is cast on the street. A water mage tries to come into the street apparently in opposition to the spiders but take one look at us and runs away. We dispose of the spiders and agree to come back later and investigate further when we have time. Cher has an appointment she must keep.

	Cher is contacted by the Captain of the Destinian Guards who implies that we should help him. He invites her to dinner. We find out that he worships Berith so we are not inclined to trust him. He warns us that the Governer Don Trierz, who used to be the Destinian ambassador, is acting strangely. We also find out the King Sirnen is the leader of the Aemon Alliance, which is the alliance of families in the city. There are 90 families, with 6 factions. Of which 5 are strong and one is weak. There is constant jockeying amongst the families and once every 5 years or so there is a coup. There is also a Queen called Lydre. Cher also finds out the Don has crystal balls. He wanted her and her friends to look at them. While Cher is dining with the captain we meet Eric and Hugo in the pub across the street. They are from a village up north, in the Kingdom of Harbaal, which is having trouble with a water elemental. Their ship is called the 3 Waves. They tell us their plan to visit ~~â€¦~~ (someone under the sea). Something about drowning seals and killing Selkies.

	We find an Inn to stay at called the Scarlett Cock and start developing our cover story which is as a travelling band of performers. In order to perform in the market square we discover that we have to win the favour of the local families. We do a deal with our Inn keeper where we perform in the Inn and he spreads the word and helps us get patronage. Our first performance goes well and we win the right to perform in the market place and are now expected to put on a series of performances. The Paserin Clan are our patrons. Enock is named keeper of the Queen's Seal and is covered in coins. The rest of us are named Keepers of the Bedrow. We are contracted to do 3 shows with a grand finale on the 4ther performance. During the performance the locals imply that they can't talk to us because there are Destinian spies around.

	Meanwhile we are contacted by the local thieves who ask us to meet them at the temple of Loki, there we are given our mission, which is to find some of their people that have gone missing. The leader of the ~~â€˜thieves~~' seems to be an old woman called Catherine the Blind. Catherine is clearly a front for someone. One of them is called Kale and the others are unnamed. The thieves apparently have new rivals in town who are trying to muscle in on their business, which is why they think their people have gone missing. They point out the North East quarter of town where they think the suspicious activity is going on. Their rivals have a suspicious lieutenant and henchman. The thieves show us a mysterious book they think it is about people in power about the city. The book is in a secret pocket so it can't be located, we have a translation of the original. They also tell us there is a prophesy about Voila but don't tell us what it is.We also learn that there is some adventurers/pirates who stay at the Mermaid's Rest. They have a lot of water mages. They are looking for a rod in the crypt under the city.

			===The Artifacts===
			This is information we have received after Astria has fully trusts us.

			#"The Heart" Unfortunately know one knows where this is, Lost.
			#"Choice" This one is in the possession of the girl attendant to Astira.
			#"Wound" We found this one with the spiders and is now bonded to Cher.
			#"Effigy" The figure head of the "Adventures/Pirates" boat.
			#"Traitor" In the possession of the "Lieutenant" in the shape of a hourglass. (Now in the party's hands.)
			#"Boatman" Which incredibly is the tiller attached to a 30â€™ foot boat made out of finger nails, inside the royal great hall.
			#"Thief" A purse which is also a possession of the "Lieutenant". (Now in the party's hands.)
			#"Prisoner" Ex "Adventures/Pirates" from there boat and now bonded with Veola.
			#"Nightmare" A skull which was found in the "Adventures/Pirates" inn and now bonded with Tegan.
			#"Corpse" Do not know what it is but it does help protect the undead from the effects of the sun.
			#"Widow" Nothing much know about it just it's name. Perhapes it is the one with the Mayor, just by process of elimination.
			#"Master of Shadows" We think this is the rod which we also found the spiders, but we are not sure. Anooke has bonded to this one.

			Lastly there is a outsider artifact which may or may not be with the list called the "Fool". Also nothing much know about it just it's name.

	Anooke quickly coats the bars, now we know that they are the bad part, with ice and we chase after Tegan grabbing her body as we go. We were lucky; she was able to hold on to a ladder which leads up on to the dock. I quickly free her from the tentacles. While Tegan is redressing she explained she has an item which instantly resurrects her and she can appear anywhere she chooses within 50â€™ of her body, the only down side is that she appears naked. We also conclude that the ~~â€œPrisoner~~" must off been what grabbed her thinking that she was an escapee. After a short while we determined that we had been not heard and carry on.

	After the good nightâ€™s sleep we were feeling quite a bit hungry. So I popped down to the bar to get some food for us. As I was down there I noticed an old lady entering the inn with a younger female companion, I recognised the older lady from the meeting we had with the thievesâ€™ guild, she was the leader we spoke too in the bubble and who showed us the book. I quietly walked up to her and introduced myself. She was a little taken back because she did not recognise me in my disguise. Realizing this I said the secret phrase â€œfish and his ~~boatâ€~~, after that she was happy to follow me to the partyâ€™s private rooms, where we invited her to have breakfast with us.

I quietly walked up to her and introduced myself. She was a little taken back because she did not recognise me in my disguise. Realizing this I said the secret phrase â€œfish and his boat", after that she was happy to follow me to the partyâ€™s private rooms, where we invited her to have breakfast with us.

	The meeting starts off by her introducing herself by her real name, Old Lady ~~â€œAstriaâ€~~, and thanking us for the return of her operatives. It is then we mentioned that we had found a couple of items of interest while rescuing the operatives as well as the rest of the city folk from that area.

It is then we mentioned that we had found a couple of items of interest while rescuing the operatives as well as the rest of the city folk from that area.
	The first item was a rod, we believed it was the rod that the â€œAdventures/~~Piratesâ€~~ were after; she did not know much about it but said the ~~â€œRavensâ€~~ would help us, perhaps it is the ones which have been following us about the city mainly in the market area. The second item was a body (which was still fresh but a few hundred years old) tied to a (?). Astria named it has the ~~â€œWoundâ€~~ an artifact of the city. This particular one bestows upon, who ever has done the ritual, the protection from physical attacks from Vampires, but not the magic. A few questions arose from this.

	We bid farewell to Astria after breakfast and begin to discuss what we have learnt, but it is soon interrupted by the innkeeper needing Mario for some more input about the play. This leaves Tegan, Anooke and me, since Viola has gone back to rest after she casts our disguise illusions.

This leaves Tegan, Anooke and me, since Viola has gone back to rest after she casts our disguise illusions.

	Anooke suggests that we should nab another one or both of the artifacts off the â€œAdventures/~~Piratesâ€~~ since we know from Teganâ€™s rat mapping there might be a way in. We agree that we should at least scout the area. This is of cause, as we all know, is adventurer talk for "Lets nick it". So we head off taking with us some cloaks that can be worn both side, with one side having the colours of the faction against â€œAdventures/~~Piratesâ€~~, which will be useful later.
