Message: <blockquote data-quote="emeraldbeacon" data-source="post: 8606283" data-attributes="member: 7032019">A quick investigation of the home uncovers a Ragesian order to locate the rebels who absconded with the locked case, reclaim the intelligence, and deal with the offenders... permanently.  Also found are a number of pamphlets that perfectly describe the heroes as they left Gate Pass.  Meanwhile, as a couple of heroes babysit the sleeping body of Jeszka, others rush off to the Lyceum for help, while sending a familiar to deliver a message to the home of Lee Sidoneth.  They are met at the gates by a surly guard who has no interest in helping them, but their description of a devil hiding within the city (along with some help from Katrina, who's somehow already worked her way into a provisional membership) convinces the school to send a group of mages.  Their job is to investigate, and if necessary, contain the devil until a time comes that they can efficiently return her to the nine hells.  As the mages agree that the heroes' stories match the apparent situation at the home, they all grudgingly acknowledge the service the heroes provided, while remaining concerned at their possible involvement in the attack.  Once secured with magic-muffling manacles, Jeszka is dragged away, though not before crying out to the heroes (in Infernal, which only one of them understands), "I'll tell you everything if you don't let them kill me!"  The Bard rushes off with the mages (and Katrina) to follow that lead, eventually gaining a provisional membership to the Lyceum himself.Meanwhile, after some city guards help to secure the home and return it to its owners (now free of Jeszka's mind-altering magics), the party heads south to figure out what else they could do for the city.  They learn, as they travel through the refugee camps, about a number of religious conflicts that have arisen amongst the desperate civilians there.  They also learn about a clan of goblins menacing the swamp itself.  Eventually, though, the rogue's owl familiar returns with a brief letter from Lee Sidoneth, that addressed the devil, a full audience at the Lyceum in 2 days, and an emergency meet that night...</blockquote>
