"You've proven yourselves capable of more than we hoped when you first showed up on our safehouse doorstep. Which is fortunate, because the situation here in Evershoal is rapidly changing, and we need all the help we can get. As you know, the Unknown largely operate in secret. This makes attending an upcoming masquerade gala celebrating the Firstcharter Festival hosted by Councilor Korel Highwater difficult for our operatives. Luckily, we've secured five invitations that can be assigned to you. We believe Emmitt Staten and his friends on the Hallean Council are planning to make calculated moves at this party to increase their influence over the nation, and nothing good can come of that. We aren't ready to move against them yet, so it is vitally important that you not make a scene, but we do ask that you attend, observe, and learn as much as you can. If you can discern where loyalties lie and anything about Staten's larger plans, all the better."
