Party: Claudia De La Quinne, The Captain, Wenceslas, Vholanthus Sumquaes, Daisy Dandeigh Deveraux
During the period of time after the group managed to save Jim of the House of the Three Beams from certain judicial disaster at the hands of an impulsive young lawyer, the adventurers spent some time discovering the city and its surroundings, each to their own ability.
Claudia started digging around with her connections, seeing which nobles would find her return to the position she once held to be an affront for the higher society and which would actively join up to disrupt the current landscape.
Vholanthus starts deep investigations into strange on-goings with the wildlife, as he stumbles upon various sites where the local fauna has gone rogue, with sometimes the flora also following suit. Puzzling together what information he can find, he deduces there are six active locations that twist the animals and plants in their vicinity to a dark parody of their normal state.

Wenceslas takes a liking to the tidal fortresses outside of the city. As only three are in current use, two in renovation and three others fully abandoned to all but the Sea's grace, they provide a great point of relaxation for the elf, beyond the busy lives of the mortals that dwell in the city proper.
He does face off against an unusual creature, a fanged albatross. Both survive the encounter.
The Captain finds that, with a bandit lord rallying to himself a small army, the peasants outside and commoners in the city are having a hard time for it. Raids on the farmlands have decreased the output of food from what is traditionally the bread-basket for the Crescent Coast.
Life is getting more expensive, and so the farmers that can pool together their resources and hire mercenary aides to defend their farmsteads and hovels. The Captain spends a goodly amount of time in assisting these efforts, if and when he is not helping his friends inside of the city walls.

Miss Daisy makes the most of the recent popularity increase of Perlis, as she becomes a highlight on most social gatherings, a well-loved face at tea parties and a wellspring of information on the fashions in the Sultanate. Under the auspices of Lady Julia De La Quinne, she even gets a 'small pied-a-terre' in the form of a coach-house near the Plaza Equorum.
The group meets up at regular intervals, at whichever location is most convenient, and one such meetings happens in the new dwelling of miss Daisy. After Vholanthus elfs at the Captain for a while and Wencelas provides a visual account of his encounter with the Albatross (through his innate magical prowess), the group decides to check out some concerning rumours in line with the information Vholanthus has been able to gleam from his research.
Heading down to Claudia's friend Doxie (Eudoxius), the group learns of the current location of some unusual animals and heads down to take care of them.
As they descend into the sewers, they are met with stiff resistance in the form of a Dryad and her pack of twisted rats and vine-people. The group finishes this resistance off, but one of the creatures manages to scurry off as the fighting dies down.
They do their best to interrogate the last surviving foe on the scene, but little of value is noted, beyond the stark realisation that there might be up to six Elfhames underneath Vertange... and a Darktide is coming.
