[QUOTE="Ormazd, post: 5415222, member: 24334"] [b]I've already been through too much s**t this morning over this case ...[/b] Over the next day and half, the party rests and learns that Shealis is a powerful wizard and spymaster of the eladrin in Shahalesti. Rivereye Badgerface heads out to track down a sorcerer named Feris who should be able to help the party to either defeat or detain Shealis long enough to extract the case from her clutches.

To this end, she also assigns a novice knight of the Solei Palancis, named Quo-Varis [COLOR="Yellow"][another Player Character][/COLOR], to accompany the party and guard the case. With the case in hand, the party and Torrent decide to take a warning to Councilman Menash and ask for his aid in finding escape from Gate Pass before the imminent invasion. Grateful for the warning, Menash supplies the party with garish and hideous, but serviceable, equipment and illicitly assigns the party to a mounted patrol of the Gate Pass Guard that is exiting the city.
