Session Summary
After catching the would-be thief, Therelin and Taer talk to the guards, but then sneak away. Masina tries following the suspicious tabaxi, but they sneak away into the night. Paolo and Astrid are covered in flour and earn the disgust of a random noble. Lu and Masina talk to Xanthi (and Xanthi's cousin) about their winnings. Lu tells Elisio Levan and Praetor Anthos that they'll get back to them about scheduling. Praetor Anthos could see through Masina's illusion and took special interest in her.

And then it was time for a date! Itsima took Masina to meet her adventuring partner, who turned out to be Maike. Itsima told Masina that she's unlikely to work with Elisio Levan in the future, since Elisio doesn't like reusing the same people over and over. Maike talked about how things were around the fighting pits - with everyone's incomes being undercut by Eobard the Smiling's business, some of the veterans were getting worried about the future, and considering deals from an outside party that would allow them to keep fighting.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group went to a dining club in the Theater district. Lu was worried about Eliso Levan's death being blamed on Kartvelia, but Therelin pointed out that Elisio has a lot of devils that are likely to be angry at Elisio, and that it wouldn't be hard to blame them for the death. Therelin tells the group that the rogue was committing corporate espionage, not going after the sorts of documents that would implicate the Path of Emanence. Since it was getting late (or rather early), the group returns to their inn to get a short rest.
