Resting and planning

Strange Times in Drusar
Upon arriving in Drusar, the team notices a sense of anxiety and tension in the air. There are increased military presence and unusual events taking place. People seem on edge, and there are rumors of strangers entering the city. The Quorum has made some alliances due to the strange events occurring, and there is an overall feeling of unease and uncertainty.
A Mysterious Courier
While on the gondola, the team encounters a nervous courier who seems to be carrying a package. They are evasive and hesitant to provide information. They mention that strange things are happening in the city and that security has been increased. Their curiosity about the courier grows, and they try to use a familiar to identify the contents of the package, but find it is just a simple letter.
Seeking Knowledge and Information
The team discusses their plans, including a visit to Starpoint Conservatory, where they hope to find esoteric texts and religious centers in the city. They also consider heading to the temple of Don Father Melora to learn more about the elemental idolon kings and Pradathos. Some members express a desire to explore Eiselcross for its ancient mysteries.
The group discusses their recent adventures and catch up on each other's experiences
The group gathers at a tavern and catches up on their recent adventures. They talk about encountering a militarized presence of the Don Father, finding an artifact in a meteorite, learning about Laylines, and the possibility of learning more about Ludinus' plans and the nature of Perdathos. They also discuss the idea of going to Vasselheim for information and the potential use of teleportation circles.
Prism offers her assistance with gathering information and sneaking into restricted areas
Prism, a powerful mage from the Cobalt Soul, offers to help gather information and suggests going to Vasselheim. She can send messages over great distances and is experienced in sneaking into restricted sections of libraries. The group discusses their plan to find information about Ludinus' plans and how to break the leash on the moon, potentially by exploring other technological artifacts.
The group prepares for a dangerous mission
As the group prepares for an information gathering mission, they have a heartfelt farewell with their allies. Despite the odd combination of paths, they set off with genuine joy and determination. There is growing mystery, danger, and influence surrounding the ruddy moon, but they are ready to face whatever awaits them.
Promises and goodbyes
