S2 Episode 10 - Journals

The Emerald Fury found their way into the first layers of the massive Imperial City.
- The district they appeared in was build with massive buildings layered upon each other.
- The avenue featured multiple food and novelty vendors peddling a variety of goods.
- A great deal of time and energy was devoted to spending Kati's money on sweets, sugars and novel foods including but not limited to candy necklaces, street tacos and elephant ears.
They took rooms at The Knotted Beard, a tavern and inn nestled under an office building and across from a collection of tall narrow brownstones.
- The staff included Hamish Goodman a dwarf and his wife Maddyson Goodman a Unknown.
- They also dined on a variation of the Coney Dog that features a long sliced pickle rather than cheese.
Over the course of the evening they heard of someone's who's roommate had disappeared.
- Lt. Thomas Chauncer had not seen his roommate Branian Woodleaf in several days.
  - She was researching possible corruption within the Empire's Imperial Air Cavalry.
- Also missing was Ivy Mistborne, an activist for more green spaces within the Imperial City. She had been involved in a rather nasty road block/ fog incident and disappeared a few days later.
- Rurbag, a half orc mercenary had been overheard speaking poorly of the Empress a few weeks prior. He too has recently disappeared.
The next morning they met with Dak the Courier and received back from him the convergence equipment.
- He agreed to take a message up to Oxford in the hopes of finding Branian Woodleaf. He also took letters from Syb to relay to the The Imperial Court as a way to formally announce her arrival in town. There was also a letter to Elizabeth Annabelle Anning (n. Nodran).
- Lt. Thomas Chauncer had left the note for the party that his roommate had written down something about the The Anchor and Lutein her own notes. He also thanked them for their support the night before and shared that he had not heard anything back with the magical message spell.
A trip to the The Anchor and Lute found them descending the stairs to a dingy bar underneath a series of run down tenements in the darker side of the Imperial City.
