Synopsis
Set loose on the town after their meeting with Professor Asgall McRath the group decide to grab some supplies before the party that night. They head to a magic shop and all get a few fun items with their newly acquired gold. Then head to Rahana’s Tailor shop to pick up their custom party outfits. After learning the price of their custom pieces they strike a deal with the Orc seamstress to find and send her things to make special dyes. With this deal they get a discount and are now outfitted for the party. With the group now supplied and outfitted they all head back to the lounge to get ready for the party!

Meeting in the Lounge, Jynx, not wanting to run into the bartender, Theo asks Rex to sneak her out of the lounge with the help of O.S.C.A.R. who started to make a very unfortunate sound. Once outside they notice a nice carriage out front. The rest of the group headed outside since Mata had eyes on Rex. Now all seeing the carriage the driver approaches Mata letting her know that he was there to drive them to Lord Rhys’ home. O.S.C.A.R. not fitting in the carriage folded up and sat on the back rack of the carriage. Yes, something like a bike rack.

Arriving at Lord Rhys’ manor in the high end part of Athcross they all enter into a gorgeous home. Lord Rhys was busy talking the ear off of Sir Iagan. Two Dwarf nobles from Mithjall, Gizur & Vibeka Sòlonsson, were in a deep conversation with Carson Eòlas who was standing near his Goliath body guard Thorkell Manfredsson. Sitting alone sipping wine by the fire was a High Elf noble from Balcross, Vanya Morfina.

Avis pulled Mata to the side to give her the rundown on the guests. During this time Daffodil was set up on the grand piano to start her performance which Carson Eòlas was not a fan of and sent his bodyguard to ask her to stop. Avis asked Mata to speak with Eòlas and gauge what he knew of the Resistance and the Order. After Daffodil stopped her performance Eòlas came over to potentially speak with Rex and Mata. Rex going first eagerly asks Eòlas about deification and how he has managed to stay alive all these years since he has read about him being around during the Divergence. Eòlas tells him he is a silly boy and shouldn't believe everything he reads and that he is a mere descendant of the Eòlas from that time. With that he turns his attention to Mata, who starts talking about the Resistance and other things that, according to him, she should not know about. After she breaks a glass in her hand he almost forcibly escorts her to the washroom. Once alone he grabs her bleeding hand and tells her to watch what she says. During this brief exchange they come to an agreement that Mata will help gather information on the Resistance and the Order and feed it back to him. After that everyone sits down to a long awkward dinner.

After dinner while everyone is enjoying some post dinner coffee Rex tries to speak with Eòlas again. Demanding he tell him what he wants to know. Seeing a dark shadow wash over his eyes Eòlas tells him he is foolish to seek deification and that he will surely die in pursuit of it. He also tells him that he is the one and only Carson Eòlas, but he will not help him, Rex must take this journey on his own. With that, the group left the party.

The next day they all gathered their things. Purchased a lovely black draft horse and cart and headed east towards the first part of their new quest!
