Session Summary
Taer finds a note in her pocket that requests the party's presence in the slums later that night. She tells the entire party about it, and they decide to go. . . But not before heading to the dragonborn quarter. They message Zuza to ask who they should talk to in the dragonborn quarter, and she tells them to look for Davit - who apparently is 'the one that looks like Tami'.

The dragonborn quarter seems like it's more functioning than the rest of the city - there's fewer guards and the shops are still open, selling tourist goods. They head to the silver spoon, the nearby tavern, and order something that's both clear and strong. It turns out that Davit has just left, and they find him hanging out outside of his out with a few other dragonborn. The party tells them about what happened at Kvari Keep - with the Path of Emanence recognizing Tami and Zuza as members of Melikov's rest - and the probability that the dragonborn community here might end up affected. Davit asks for proof, but then agrees to talk to the community leaders about the issue.

Afterwards, the party heads to a utility room outside of the cistern in the slums. There they meet Vira, who is affiliated with 2chainz, and Astrid, who is angry and wants to fuck shit up after the death of her husband and the subsequent aquisition of axes. Vira tells the party that there are three projects going on tonight: The Temple of Waukeen should be investigated for possibly sending out false cures; the party could investigate three of the Crown's Agents who are suspected of suppressing information about the nature of the disease; or they could help investigate the ship in the harbor and smuggle off some refugees. The party suspects that the city guard is more likely to be involved than the Crown’s Agents. After some discussion, the party decides to tell Vira to send a person to watch the cisterns to see if the box shows up again and to send a cleric on the ship to help fight undead; but they would investigate the temple of Waukeen themselves. Astrid overhears the entire conversation and invites herself along.

Paolo and Masina hide in the bathroom stalls while Lu bribes a guard for their silence. Astrid and Taer have less luck (and Barrakas just watches this all in the background). Lu is awarded a sheet of paper with some numbers on it, and eventually figures out the code for the main office. They manage to steal some important documents off the desk (and some valuable pieces of art and gems, too), but eventually the head cleric, Oxana, hears them and alerts the guards. The party escapes through the alleyway and runs for safety in their guildhouse room.
