The Fifth Eclipse: Session 12 - Stags at the Opera

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

The party, having spoken to Jim and sent him on his way, is approached by a guard who asks them if the dungeon below was fully cleared and if it is ready to be sealed up. 
Due to their standing as adventuring party, the Fifth Eclipse gets the rights to the dungeon for as long as it does not become active again. It is sealed up and a mark indicating their ownership is painstakingly placed upon the former entrance.
A long overdue refreshing takes place, much to the general olfactory benefit of the surrounding.

A lot is discussed on how to tackle the bachelorette party and the stag night for the happy couple. The men will be hunting an actual stag outside of the city, while the women get to enjoy the comforts of an idyllic lodge nearby while sampling of some of the local vineyard products.
Nefarious minds as they have, they actually seek to set up a small 'kidnapping' of the bride to let the groom heroically save the day.
The group uses some of their local knowledge and a bit of 'speaking with Roel' to get a bead on the friends of Daisy. 
The list given by Jim was rather male-forward, after all.
Invites are made and sent out by winged messenger.
As the group is busy with this, Robert Sumquaes stumbles upon his uncle and requests he look in to the Iles Enchantés, as strange creatures have been spotted coming out at a recently purchased plot.
Considering all he has learned thus far, Vholanthus concludes that there may be druids behind this, and potentially corrupted ones at that.
When out and about in the Jardin, the group also meets a female guard named 'Isolde' who is interested in their actions until they seem harmless enough to let pass.

At the opera, with the ceremony opening, the social gathering is rife with opportunities for casual meetings and formal introductions. 
Daisy finds herself chatting with Paul Jones Junior, while the Captain is seen rubbing shoulders with Honora Du Calle. Seeing the elf out of sorts, a local courtier sets up a dig at Wenceslas, but fails to land any devastating jape as none of the strewn bait is taken. 

In a flashback to the pre-wedding festivities, we see Claudia seeking out one of the two De La Quinne's in attendance, accidentally bumping in to her while holding glassware. No glint of recognition passes behind the eyes of the young lady known as Seraphine.  
Vholanthus starts setting up for the stag hunt, creating paths for the hunters to follow while in beast form.
