- Much discussion about how the team can help Theophania with her presentation, and she's polished up her armor to a good shine
- The meeting goes well, and Theophania leaves her drawings and prettified notes for his perusal before he just gives her 1500 GP to build the first three prototypes to refine her triangulation method
- Osiris is a bit suspicious, but Lord McNabb doesn't give any hints that he is on the side of the The Voice, his neutrality is based more on a "devil you know" and cost compared to reward (If each device costs 500GP, then 36 for the whole city-wide network is about 18,000GP)
- They then spend the rest of the evening measuring the fog over the river so that Theophania can figure out a good entry point to the swiss cheese of sewers, caves, and catacombs and the shortest path to get there
- The next morning at the boarding house, Andak Fastcaller (chef's knife in his belt like a short sword) who shows up asking where he can find his cousin Theophania.
- Raiàn uses her earring to message Theophania to ask her to come to the boarding house, so she does
- Osiris and Tiff fly across the river on her Broom of Flying
- The Beard and Barrel has closed down because some people have died and their beer may be poisonous and those people think Calvin might have sabotaged them
-The story about Wally Walltrop is told, but it isn't Calvin's beer causing problems.
- Osiris tried to Send to Jimmy, but the Sending doesn't go through. Jimmy is either on another plane which can give the spell a chance to fail, or he's dead.
- Tiff Sends to Marta in the Hospital Wing, "Tiff here. Has there been a spate of patient with severe food poisoning due to Beard and Barrel beer? Do you know the toxin? Thanks!"
- Marta responds, "Oh yes! There's a whole troop of sick sailors. Don't know what they got into other than drink, but that's enough sometimes."
- Tiff Sends to her again, "Has anyone Detected Poison on the beer to identify toxin? If patients are all sailors, new fog on the river may be the cause."
- Marta returns, "The fog probably isn't helping, but something from the pub got them sick. It's not just sailors. There are other rough characters keeling over too."
- Osiris tried to Send to Lady Blackmore, but that spell also fails.
- From this disturbing brunch, the group heads into the sewers and after about 1.5 hours of searching Tiff finds a section of illusory wall and Tiff walks through it.
- The room is full of things that might have been stolen from the Temple, but it looks like no one has been here in quite awhile due to the level of dust. (Several months at least)
- The source of the magic is not in the hidden room.
- Another few hours of searching are also fruitless.
- Back at the Temple, they stop in to talk to Marta and ask about missing supplies, but she directs them to Norman, the quartermaster.
- Norman knew about the missing things from the latest inventory, and they give him the map to the cache.
- From there Osiris talks to Rowan to get permission to search the catacombs, so they head down there.
- En route to the entrance to the catacombs, Rusty asks why they don't Send to Thessalie to see if she is still alive, and Theophania immediately pulls out her stick, "Auntie! I invented a Sending Device, and we stopped a necromancer causing a zombie invasion, but now people are poisoned and there's magic river fog!"
- 3,000 XP ea for 76,000 total XP each.
