Plot Summary:
This episode's group of adventures starts off in the FBK hall. There is a listing for auditions at the Niqamui Museum of Natural History. Cloudio, Jade, and Sinclair briefly discuss the idea and with little to no preparation head to audition. Upon their arrival, they see several scattered groups of varying performers getting ready and rehearsing. The FBK crew head straight for the audition desk, as ready as they'll be to audition on such short notice. Jade's performance goes well as she spins a Niqamui Guard Horn on the tip of her sword and catches it without injuring anyone. Cloudio's performance does not have the same fate. He hands Sinclair 3 bells and counts down from 3, with the goal of hitting all 3 of the bells with arrows, but he only succeeds in triggering the alarm as his arrows miss his mark and hit museum property. Sinclair pulls out a deck of cards, and performs a simple "Pick a Card" trick, but to little success. The entertainment director rejects their attempt to enter the event as performers, but still gives them tickets to the event as long as they bring appropriate attire. 
After a quick wardrobe change, the crew arrives at the museum again and the scene is completely changed. The event is in full swing, there are illusions and decorations that have replaced the scattered groups of entertainers. The trio enter the museum and drift towards the high society crowd. With a goal in mind Sinclair spots a target to mingle with, a dwarven man sitting alone with a drink in his hand. Cloudio volunteers to introduce himself to the dwarf with a little flair. With a couple of daggers and some juggling, Cloudio fails to make any impression that strikes the dwarves' interest. Sinclair spots a group of scholars in an argument with another group over the value of art. This is the opportunity Sinclair was looking for. They jump into the conversation and attempts to make some money off the group composed of finance managers. After some schmoozing and explaining, Sinclair walks away successful. 
While Sinclair is off making money, Jade and Cloudio are chatting while someone catches Cloudio's attention. A woman (Rose) is walking through exhibition room along with a dwarven man who it leading her. She is catching everyone's attention. Cloudio boldly walks to her and introduces himself and briefly interacts with Cloudio before she is ushered along by the dwarf. Cloudio regroups the party and they head towards the room Rose entered.
Jade and Sinclair each grab a drink before moving onto the next room: Petrification in Red. There is a life like sculpture, that is the center piece of the room. The detail on the two figures is extremely accurate, this piques Jade's interest. She attempts to cast some spells but with no success. Jade simply chips a piece off of the art piece, making this the second instance property damage the trio have caused at the museum within 24 hours. The trio encounters her son Sasha, here chaperoning a school trip for college credit. 
Malachai the raven flies into a secret meeting room and hears an agreement being formed between devils and Ekenblim. They agree to work together. The devils will help the Ekenblim enter this realm so that they can steal children to make more Ekenblim. In exchange, the Ekenblim will arrange for the devils to get money and souls, the meeting ends with the Ekenblim releasing chaos, something they know the devils love, and the Ekenblim do as well. Our heroes hear a scream, and choose where to set up to fight to protect Sasha and his chaperoned school children. 
The Jishoap cocktail drink: Whiskey, lemon, frozen tea instead of ice cubes, and two maraschino cherries on a skewer. In what ratios? All whiskey, with just a spritz of lemon, and whatever juice drops off the maraschinos. That's why the ice cubes are tea instead of water; it turns into more of a drink the longer it takes to drink it.
