Session 4: Forbidden Fruits in the garden of the Sun Report

General Summary

The party heads over to the Archivist Lounge where they meet Gurma Nagash, the high archivist of the Sootworks. Gurma is cordial and helps the party find literature on the spectator they found which seemingly was used by Rakish to help defend himself. Alkaline notes the lack of Dragonborn war history in his collection. As the party starts asking about the assassins, the insignia and pneumatic research, Gurma tenses up and refuses to talk. However due to persuasive rolls and exigent circumstances Gurma tells the party that a couple of darkly clad people approached him and confiscated all his material on such matters. All except one research diary he had hidden away. The party convinces Gurma to give them the book and he does. The party then leaves.   The party head to Three Fingers and Counting, a tavern and inn in the Docklands run by a dwarven woman named Genna who is missing three fingers. They get some ale, a room and starts reading. some interesting knowledge is revealed about pneumatic essence. However tensions turn to Naved as Florian wants to know why he is there. After some back and forth Naved reveals he has a patron that guides her. Florian is not happy knowing there is an entity of unknown moral compass guiding him. Tensions run high. Naved heads for the door to get some space. Teel blocks the door. Naved struggles to find a soothing answer. Naveds Warden possesses Teel and tells Florian and Alkaline to trust they want Rakish released, but when more answers are demanded by Florian, the entity leaves. Teel comes back and pushes Naved against the door. A thunder strikes in the distance and a storm has suddenly rolled in. Seemingly at a stand still Florian and Alkaline head downstairs to talk and cool off while Triandra help Teel read his newly acquired novel. Naved desperately tries to talk to Deni, but no one answers. Downstairs Florian notices a white haired woman in her fifties wearing monk robes is listening in on their conversation. Alkaline convinces Florian to play nice with Naved for now. As the white haired woman leaves the tavern, the weather goes back to normal. Florian and Alkaline head back upstairs and the party starts talking. Florian shares his grievances, but decides to play nice. However, Alkaline is watching out the door and notices a darkly clad figure entering the tavern.
