No, the Porn is Not Magical #IWishThisConversationHadHappenedWhileIWasStillOnCodeine - April 1, 2022

 - Osiris finds Cassandra at her door first thing in the morning, and there are more body parts missing despite the guard at the door of the Rites Wing

- Osiris sends Cassandra to get Theophania and drags Rusty's things out of her closet so he can re-equip himself

- Osiris gets Lyrielle from where she is practicing her flute in the garden

- Raiàn is in Theophania's room, so they join the rest of the group in the Rites wing

- Tom, the guard at the door didn't see anything, but he only replaced Dave a few hours ago

- The body that's missing its eyeballs is a small, ten-year-old(ish) girl who looks emaciated, like she died of a wasting disease

- Rusty and Tom go to get Dave

- Osiris casts Detect Magic and looks around the room for portals, but she doesn't find anything

- Meanwhile, Rusty grills Tom as they walk

- Birel, Cassandra, Ayen were the only three people who arrived for work this morning, that he let in

- Rusty does not grill Dave as the three walk back

- Once they are all in the Rites wing, Osiris gathers everyone and casts Zone of Truth on literally everyone, and every single person either allows it to happen or fails their save.

- Dave doesn't remember anything strange happening during his shift, he remembers Birel, Ayen, and Arrana were working, at some point Wenton came by too at some point, but he's not sure why - Also he had a sandwich made with stale cheese for lunch - Wenton and Ayen left last a bit after sunset

- Ayen is having trouble with the body missing eyes, but he never touched her. He's squeamish, but did not take her eyes

- They just go around and ask everyone directly if they stole the eyes, everyone says no.

- That leaves only Wenton and Arrana to question as people who were known to have been in the Rites wing last night.

        - Antonia's catch phase is officially, "I didn't prepare that."

- Tom and Rusty go and collect Arrana and Wenton

- Neither of them look exhausted like they stayed up half the night

- Osiris casts Zone of Truth again, but Wenton is unaffected by the spell

- Wenton examined the little girl and a few of the other bodies to verify if their bodies were still contagious 

- Arrana didn't touch the little girl at all

- Arrana had a salad for lunch yesterday and Wenton had a piece of chicken

- Wenton probably stole Dave's lunch

- Wenton has some low level magic, but Marta is the only other person on the list in the hospital wing who is anointed by Mishakal with magic

- After Wenton heads back to work, they also go over to the hospital wing and ask Marta to gather everyone in one room (her office), which she does, so it only takes one more Zone of Truth spell

- Rina was also in the Rites wing

- Wenton is suddenly being very dodgy and refusing to answer questions and may have separated the eyeballs, so Rusty grabs him in a suplex position and Lyrielle guards the door 

- Everyone else is excused except Wenton, since we're in her office Marta stays to witness the rest of Wenton's questioning

- Wenton finally admits that he took the little girl's eye balls to sell to pay off a debt (500 GP)

- He also took the heart and tongue from the previous cadaver

- Wenton likes to gamble, and he's had a bad run of luck at the Black Dog

- He was delivering the organs to Idris at the Black Dog, and he dropped the eyeballs off last night

- The only things left on the list he was given are a liver

- Idris is tall (for a human), thin, with a pointy nose, brownish skin, brown hair, darker eye color, dresses kinda nice, no notable jewelry or anything, last name unknown

- The group goes to Wenton's room to find the list and have a look around

- There was also a spleen on the list that was delivered and nobody noticed was missing

- While Theophania is casting Detect Magic as a ritual, Rusty finds drawings of naked elves

- There is nothing magic in the room, including the pornography

- Osiris Sends to Jimmy, "Jimmy, it's Osiris. Unrelated to previous business, need to discuss something with you. Meet us at the Onlookers Fountain in River Park this evening.

- Jimmy responds, "If you've got business to discuss, just come to the Black Dog.  I don't have time to run all over the city.  We'll be waiting."

- A little after sundown, the party heads over to the Black Dog, but as they are approaching it, there are people running out of the building screaming. None of those people match Idris's description, and none of them are Jimmy.
