Galarin discovers the halfling spy. It turns out that they had gone upstairs to remove the fire wards from the storage rooms. The guards stationed there had been killed. Galarin kills the halfling spy (Ilton) and puts the fire wards back in place. Geoff Massarde comes down to help shovel the fire gems after Trip retrieves him. Together, they successfully clear the gems, saving the ship.During a speech, the king announces that, after years of conflict, it is time to make peace with Danor. To cement this peace, he plans to marry someone from Danor next year.Galarin arranges for Thames Grimsley to speak with City Governor Roland Stanfield. Although initially reluctant, Stanfield agrees to have a meeting at a later, quieter time to discuss the working conditions in the factories.The king thanks the group for saving the ship. The following week, the group’s heroic actions are featured in the newspaper.500 A.O.V., spring, Day 13After a week it is confirmed that the Duchess was likely behind the attack.Lya Jierre, Danor’s Minister of Outsiders, visits the RHC office along with Stover Delft and presents the group with a puzzle. Galarin and Frostbeard work together to solve it, gaining Lya’s trust. Meanwhile, Odo notices Lya’s distinctive rapier, which has a mechanism making it particularly deadly: a thin, sharp wire runs along the blade, rotating like a chainsaw to enhance its cutting power.Lya explains that the Duchess has attacked Axis Island, a Danoran-controlled island in the Yerasol Archipelago. The island hosts mining operations, a steel mill, a shipyard, and a military fort on the coast. Danor's congress may interpret the attack as an assault on Danor itself, which could jeopardize the peace treaty between Risur and Danor. Lya needs Risur’s help to drive the Duchess off the island to prevent this.That evening, the group sets sail aboard the R.N.S. Impossible to join the Risuri fleet en route to Axis Island. The group’s main purpose is to provide insight since they were the last to speak with the Duchess, and they don’t have many other tasks.The group, alongside four specialists, will head to an underwater tunnel, using a potion of water breathing to enter. Once on the island, they’ll travel to the fort, where they must open the sea gate from the lighthouse, allowing the fleet to enter. Then the Duchess will be captured. The group is instructed to take prisoners when possible, though lethal force is permitted if necessary. Approximately 12 hours after the group lands on the island, Risur must return control of the island to Danor.Lya also asks the group to look for her cousin, Nathan Jierre, who is currently on the island.The group receives supplies to prepare for the mission.Per person:  - 1 Potion of Water Breathing  - 2 Potions of Greater Healing  - 200 GPAs a group:  - 1 Gem of Brightness  - 4 Scrolls of Faerie Fire  - 2 Scrolls of Silence  - 2 Scrolls of PasswallThe group also meets the infiltrators they’ll be working with: Tanya, Letmas, Seven-Foot Dan, and Burton.</blockquote>
