Session Summary
The party finished killing the last black pudding. After searching the room, Lu found a silver box that Paolo recognizes as Sarantine design. It seemed to be enchanted with a few spells, including one that seems to be the source of the disease. After a little more time wandering down through the cisterns, the party headed back to the surface and went back to the guild hall for the night.

Overnight, the party was attacked by assassins. The party collected the heads for a later interrogation and discussed what to do with the bodies. Masina found a note on one of the bodies that said, in thieves' cant:

''Five targets. Two dwarves, one ill-kempt and the other a traveling merchant. Two humans, a fastidious male and a mercenary and a gnome.''

''Do not underestimate them. The party that was sent to recover Dithas's body was found dissected and missing organs outside of Kvari Keep.''

After a little bit of discussion, the party decided that Barrakas and Lu will head down to the burning pits while Taer interrogated the first head. She doesn't find out anything, and they leave the other two for the next morning.

The next morning, Taer interrogated the other two heads. She found out that they were sent from Kotumi, but not much else. The party went to the travelling temple, but found the city oddly quiet, and there were a few suspicious people watching the party. They find out from Volya that a group of people tried to board the Deep Scion but were overpowered and killed by the city guard. Lu, Masina, and Barrakas manage to sneak the heads in with the rest of the dead bodies from overnight.

Everyone decided it was a good time to talk to a lawyer. They filled a slightly overwhelmed Ilya Goga in about their suspicions on the plague, and she informed them that they should come clean to the Crown's Agents immediately. So the party headed over to where the crown's agents were staying and filled an impassive Azad in on what they found out. Other than a strange look when the party asserted that the ship was confirmed to be unmanned, the party learned nothing new, but may receive a payment if their information checks out.

As evening set in, the party headed back to the guild hall. But not before Taer and Masina could receive notes from a messenger of 2 chainz, requesting their help.
