Group 2: Vertange "One-shot" - Jim 3

Party: Claudia De La Quinne, The Captain, Wenceslas, Vholanthus Sumquaes, Daisy Dandeigh Deveraux

We find the party on a Gondola, ferried to the abode of Francois Du Treve, a nobleman who has shown a lot of interest in Lady Adele Duree. With Francesco the Gondelieri standing watch and rendering songs in the worst possible way to entertain his passengers, they discuss how to best tackle the issue.
They go for an all-out assault on his mental sanity by being either foreign, common or halfling. This distraction of presence allows for Daisy to obtain a contract between one 'Taelhel' of the 'League of the Night' and Francois for the 'removal of unwanted elements in the city'. Partly due to the convincing speeches of the group, partly to get rid of the strange odor they brought with them, Francois chooses to note down a recanting of his accusations towards Jim.
As Vholanthus is of the Fleurs Nobles and not a stain upon the interior air of the mansion like the halfling, Francois invites him for a lavish dinner, which the elf accepts while holding the decriminating document.
The others make their graceful escape and head to the Cartwheel, fearing the life of Jim might be in danger through other means. 

They fear rightly, as even the excellent time they make to the Area Vulgaris seems to have allowed forces to move against their interests. Luckily enough, those forces underestimate just how skilled the Captain is at manslaughter, as well as the arcane powers of Wenceslas causing natural disturbances to eliminate unbalance in the streets. 
At the end of the struggle, Wenceslas notes that his magic locked the powers of an opposing mage into the blade the man was wielding. He gifts this weapon to the Captain. It now bears the name 'Emiel' after its former wielder turned inhabitant.

Vholanthus manages to extricate himself from the dinner in due time and uses the services of Francesco to make a hasty visit to the Court of the Lady of the Scales, where he delivers the document needed to safeguard Jim from harm to the slightly gristle-stained hands of Gautier the halfling clerk, who states he is simply enchanted by the tall elf's upright demeanor.
Vholanthus makes the fastest trip in recent memory to the Area Vulgaris upon hearing the invite for a shared evening with the clerk, hoping to quickly reunite with his friends.
