Q1: What do you like most about yourself? A1: My personal skills. As a shop owner and businessman, the charisma is required to build a loyal clientele. Q2: What do you like least about yourself? A2: After going out into the world with the group, the lack of worldliness I possess grates.
 
BEGIN SESSION
We wake in the shop, and gather downstairs. The magic rug we found is laid out and fixed on the table, as well as looking clean and vibrant. Druss, Marda, and Rorin go out to get us breakfast, to Cyd's Candy Confectionaries. Winter is approaching, just FYI. They come back with a loooootttt of food, and what can only be described as pre-diabetes. After brekky, we can hear the guards ramping up their patrols. The more perceptive among us hear the rattle of plate mail as someone comes to the door and knocks. It is Vlad and his deputy, and I welcome them in. They are here to follow up about Elon, and to let us know how secure the Ashforge estate is, and that the employees won't let him in without a warrant or Rorin's presence. The Council wants to talk to me and see Elon, so he's gonna be brought in too. The new head of Lady Almusk's Parthenon of Protection, Abel Rest (trans masc), is a cleric of comparable skill and faith to me. PASTE FROM DISCORD HERE - LIST OF THE PEOPLE THAT WILL BE AT THE MEETING. The security carriage with us picks up Elon along the way, Rorin up front with the guard, Druss and I in the back with Elon. We arrive at the Cultural Congress, and sneak Elon in. Once inside, we see two unfamiliar faces, but their outfits show them to be witch hunters, 1 human male, nondescript face Mulby, and 1 non-binary kobold person, Skullcrusher. They bring me in to a room to interrogate me. DEC check (22), but they ask me about Her. I tell them what she looks like, but I don't know that much. They really don't believe that I resurrected Elon with Divine magic. They demand I bring back one of their sources who died two days ago, Cassidy Caddit. They provide the diamond, and I set to work. Cassidy's soul isn't too keen on coming back, but the force of my spell brings them back. This looks to convince them, and they let me leave, so I fuck off toot-sweet.
 
While I'm being interrogated, Druss meets up with Holden Cockswell and Harold Ravenswood while providing security for Elon. They aren't allowed into Elon's "interview" room, so they just watch the hall. I meet them there after my thing and wait for Elon.
 
The girls want to meet up with Mallo the Myconid using Sending and learn that the Myconid city is under attack. The piss genies have come back for retribution against the Union! They are fighting, and they win. They are taken to an Elder who Mallo says has knowledge of the sewer layout. Garfield is known among the Myconids. The Elder is grown into the city, like Davy Jones' crew. They present their maps, and the Elder gives a complete outline of the sewers as they exist. They explore some new areas on the way back to the shop.
 
We return to the Cultural Congress, and enter the Council meeting chamber. Everyone is from the above list is here. Holden does not appear to be doing well (INS - 20. This is a lot of people for him, and he's touched by the Tism. He just wants to go home). Thatcher is deeply agitated and eying Elon, and staring at General Stoneskin. Garmeeli welcomes Vlad warmly, as he was a Hunter's guild member before being Sheriff. (INS - 27. Leslie and Gariton are putting on brave faces, Garmeeli is sneakily eying Elon as well). (STE 13 - I think I'm being stealthy). I try to alert Druss and Rorin to Garmeeli's eying behaviour. Druss hands Holden a note, and Holden then fucks off immediately, leaving Elon to take his place? Rorin raises a stink after Gariton calls into question Druss and his current rep in the city and bitches the boi. This meeting was a lot of talking and a lot of nothing getting done. They're gonna have another meeting in two weeks.
