I let the players pick whichever Ob officer they wanted to roleplay as.[/gm]The group of conspirators led by Leone Quital traveled by ship and carriage to an old abandoned mansion on a remote island. There they met Han Jierre, the Sovereign of Danor. Han greeted each person by name while his assistant lit a magic lantern. Beneath the lantern’s light, the dilapidated manse was transformed into an opulent edifice surrounded by guards. Han revealed that the Obscurati officers would be meeting in the Bleak Gate as an added security measure.  Han explained that the guards would be performing a security check.The guards led a large shadowy reptile up to examine the party. The shadowlisk scrutinized each visitor and hissed eagerly when one of the priests traveling with the party was revealed as an imposter. Realizing his illusory disguise had failed, the intruder attempted to flee only to be blasted by the shadowlisk’s withering gaze. After the imposter was reduced to a carbonized silhouette on the manor wall, Han asked the remaining visitors to stay calm while the security breach was sorted out. A group of ghosts emerged from the mansion to take charge of the situation. The leader of the ghosts, a withered specter named Vicemi Terio, claimed that they would get to the bottom of how the group had been infiltrated. A more personable member of the ghosts came forward, Reed Macbannin. Reed coated his ghostly hand in a blood-like fluid and pulled the intruder out of the burned shadow on the wall, alive if only barely. The guards bound the intruder and carried him away. Reed turned to the party and with a grin said, “Welcome to the Obscurati”.Some of the group stayed behind to be questioned by Vicemi while Han led the rest into the mansion. Han guided the party through the mansion. Along the way, they encountered many famous people belonging to the conspiracy; the Dwarven oligarch Ramos Zoltan, the Danoran General Shane Wallisonne, Lady Catherine Romana of Risur, and more. Through the rooms of celebrity and veiled paranoia, Han led them toward the west wing. In a vast study at the end of the wing, the party came face to face with the leader of the Obscurati, Nicodemus the Gnostic. “I’m glad you all came. Together we’re going to change the world”.</blockquote>
