Report from Solene (Christy)
We travelled to Bellafontaine to track down one of the fences that Meira used to secretly sell Citadel magic items. We used forged identity papers to sneak into the city as we didn’t want to attract attention. We discovered our target was throwing a ball and we got in as guests/servants after arranging a costume change.

It turned out the guest elves there were dissatisfied with the Emperor’s change and his actions. We took the opportunity to spread information and make some alliances. Most did not care if the emperor was cleansed or if a new leader was needed as long as the leader was sane, we agreed that sane leadership was our mutual goal. We also surveyed the house but the main item we were looking for was apparently being held at the prison after the buyer’s son was arrested for public nuisance while wielding it. The father willingly returned a couple of magical items to us and we travelled to the prison. It was not unduly difficult to break out two prisoners (we left the mass murderer where he was). We recovered the sword we searched for as well.

After returning to the Citadel we travelled to the second fence (who bought mainly weapons) and we tracked him to the bloodpits on a coastal town. There was an excellent fighter that killed her opposition and her sister was a witch that could create potions. We took the opportunity to try and recruit them, but they wanted proof that we were competent so we agreed to fight two manticores. The fight began with Remy throwing a fireball at them which singed them both nicely then the fight got a bit messy and the skirmisher and paladin engaged in close up combat, at one point one of the manticores leaped into the stands chasing Elronis and the stands caught fire, the creatures also spilt acid when they were cut but we managed to drop the manticore back into the pit. Titania somehow ended up on a nearby roof after the second manticore took flight but we finished that one off too.

Rowan set free a couple of ice imps to eat the fire and then retreat to the lake, why he had ice imps on him is anyone’s guess. The imps created a large frozen home in the middle of the lake. A short chase ensued as the group arrested the fence and recovered the magical items that he had been selling to pit fighters. The witch and her sister returned to the citadel with us.

We recovered some items that those of good standing can request from the Keepers for Citadel approved missions.
