Session Summary
The party was gathered looking out the window onto the courtyard when they heard a loud POP from behind them. They turned around to investigate the noise - Lu noted it came from the bedroom, but also that the figure that represented Sarantium was missing from Tahir's table. Masina, Lu, and Taer searched the bedroom - while they found some trinkets and a book on Kartvelia, they did not find Tahir. Paolo and Farideh made their way into the contract room and with Masina's help, opened the safe. They found three tall bookcases filled with contracts - some of which with Angels and Demons, some with creatures from the prime material plane. The contracts with humans included donations to institutions, donations from noble houses, and paying women to have children with extraplanar blood. The contracts with the extraplanar beings seemed to be focused on giving up their parental rights to the Path of Emanence.

At Zuza's request, Lu contacted Sophia with news of what happened at Kvari Keep using a postcard. Sophia responded telling the dragonborn to return back to Melikov's Rest through Valkat.

Masina and Taer went down to the courtyard and talked to the angel and the devil that were discussing the loopholes in their contracts with Britni. Masina convinced the two very powerful extraplanar creatures to help them destroy the rest of the areas controlled by the Path of Emanence. However, after realizing that most of these places are in populated areas, they decided that there should be some ground rules. The angel quickly agreed and the devil gave them a week to come up with the terms. The angel requested a personal item so he could make contact later, and Taer gave him her fake bear-fur beard. Masina also convinced Temitah and Dithas to collect the information in the keep before destroying it.

Farideh, Zuza, and Taer went down to search the basement - but not before Farideh realized that "Chester" was a Firbolg. "Chester" explained that he was just here because of the Keep's wards causing issues with fey migration patterns and agreed to stay around while they continued searching the keep. Downstairs they find the log book for the experiments. Zuza takes the log book to show to Melikov as proof. As they are leaving Taer blows up the basement and the keep's inner buildings. Farideh eventually lets "Chester" go, but not before asking him for some stuff. He gives her some hallucinogenic mushrooms.

Zuza, Tami, and Datvig headed to Valkat, while Temitah and Dithas discussed their plans with the rest of the party. Temitah revealed that they are likely to try to use some of the information gathered for an event in two days - and Masina remembered that this coincides with Professor Zaur's debate. Fearing the possibility of violence, the party tried to convince Temitah to stop whatever is planned with Professor Zaur. Temitah refuses, but agrees to leave peacefully. However, while the party was focused on Temitah, Dithas stole some of the evidence from their cart. Taer caught her and killed her with one guiding bolt. Temitah turned into a bear to try to fight the party, but he was also killed.
