Act I: The Artifact and the Invitation

Ghostly-Invitation.webp?rlkey=9i0q3tl24ew7ab78dtiqhyckx&raw=1The guild's chaos was interrupted by the postal service, Urukh, who delivered a bizarre crate from Father Dawnbringer addressed to Sonei. The crate, only openable by Sonei, turned out to be empty. However, the moment it was opened, a bunch of holographic purple halos appeared above each of her guildmates. The party instantly felt an energetic boost—Sonei had received her artifact.

At the same time, Tsamaela received a long-awaited letter from her estranged sister, Cassandra Hebron, an invitation for dinner in the Orzhov neighborhood of Ravnica.

The party used Vi’s lab portal to meet Cassandra. Cassandra, an Orzhov Syndicate member, requested the party's help in investigating the Vision of Eden cult, which had been generating disturbing rumors around the Albarose Mansion Ruins. Throughout the meeting, Amesia maintained a stiff posture and poker face, successfully avoiding suspicion from both the party and the Orzhov guards.

Act II: The Corpse, the Conspiracy, and the Casket

Albarose-Mansion-Outskirt.webp?rlkey=75mjk2b7awldznmi5xx0znewa&raw=1Near the Albarose Mansion ruins, the party immediately ran into two Orzhov agents who were attempting to blend in with a group of refugees. Due to classic Bromocorah misunderstanding, the party fought the agents before Sonei, Tsamaela, and John abruptly stopped the brawl, pointing out that they were all supposed to be on the same side, investigating the Mansion and the Vision of Eden.

Inside the ruins, they found several cultists praying to honor a recently dug-up casket containing the perfectly preserved body of "Dallase," their fallen savior.

Amesia calmly opened the casket. In a spectacular display of calculated deception, they claimed to have received a letter instructing them to find Dallase—their closest relative—and take her ring. Amesia not only managed to deceive everyone but also took the entire casket, the body, a white fedora hat, a shotgun, and the ring, which they immediately put on their own finger.

Act III: The Betrayal and the Broken Arm

The-Casket.webp?rlkey=pj8k6icmdjt7fiesr30zyajk0&raw=1Amesia’s loot grab was the trigger. Orzhov agents ambushed the party, calling them heretics and preparing to attack. Cassandra, however, seemed hesitant. Tsamaela seized the moment and managed to convince her sister to betray the Orzhov and join Bromocorah. Cassandra immediately turned to protect her sister and the guild.

The battle erupted in a wave of chaotic brilliance, Amesia nonchalantly summoned a griffon and began stacking their AC, reaching a record high of 30. They activated Sonei's new halo artifact to boost the party. Miunir and John took the front row, clearing a path. Tsamaela attempted to push her sister out of the path of a devastating attack, but her prosthetic arm shattered in the process. John immediately came to the rescue, lending his Warhorse to Tsamaela while he held the frontline. Miunir was knocked out, but Amesia, in a simultaneous act of brutality and protection, pulled him onto her Griffon, healed him, and then brutally swung their mighty "Long Live Kilionzel" longsword, slaying the Orzhov War Priest.

Act IV: The Founder's Confession and the New Pair

Vi-Workshop.webp?rlkey=cl79n119fpdppjs6lnzv9s6fg&raw=1The battle ended. The party, including Cassandra, retreated to Vi’s lab. While Vi attempted to repair Tsamaela’s shattered prosthetic, Amesia shocked everyone by dropping a sudden truth bomb: they were actually the founder of the Vision of Eden and offered both Sonei and Miunir non-contract membership. Vi’s attempt to fix the arm resulted in a sudden explosion that punctuated Amesia’s confession.

Cassandra wasted no time, signing the Bromocorah form and becoming the guild's newest paladin. When Amesia inquired about Roger, Cassandra seemed to be aware of the name and agreed to help the guild rescue him one day.

The episode concluded with Sonei attempting to hilariously matchmake Cassandra with John, a plan Tsamaela immediately tried to derail. Despite the Bard's intervention, Cassandra seemed oddly interested in the devoted Paladin, hinting at a new, chaotic office romance brewing amidst the shattered arms and founding-paladin confessions.
