February 17

Location: Zadash 
New Characters: Beni, Manfred
Notable items/knowledge: Continental Breakfast 
Notes: "Ever been with a black woman?" - Sami to Dalton
Bea shrinks Beni to get him down the stairs of the inn and to Pumat's. He's not there but they shop anyway. 2E buys an onyx ring of necrotic damage resistance, Bea buys a pearl ring of acid resistance (for her) and a Shroud of Shadows for 2E, and Dircc orders a 10ft silver lasso. Gen gets cowgirl boots of misty step. 2E orders a basket for her baby with celestial resistance (and waterproofing). Champ gets a pokeball for Beni, in addition to custom bear plate armor so he will be just so safe. The Cerberus Assembly has Pumat's blueprints (for what??) - he asks the party to help retrieve them, and gives them free teardrop earrings/sending stones as payment. Dircc helped Champ buy the ball for Beni, and Bea orders the Continental Breakfast (forged citizenship documentation to everywhere). "I believe you can do anything you set your mind to, but please don't" - Pumat. The plan is to retrieve Pumat's blueprints along with their own files (and potentially a scroll that Journey wants) from the CA's admin building. This can only go well.
"When I was little and lived in the dumpster, no one ever wanted to look at me" - Champ
2E goes into the CA headquarters for recon; there's a little gnome man at the desk. SHe asks for the bathroom, but is denied. Wizards don't shit. She learns only that the gnome is cranky. Dircc goes in next, disguised as an old man. "Pronouns nowadays, ugh." He talks to a purple dragonborn named Dahlia Thistlespring and learns that records are found on the top floor but didn't wear the earring and now has to go outside to communicate this to the party. They head back to Pumat's for the forged docs, including a student ID card for Champ so that he is officially their archaeology TA and has permission to visit the CA's archives. Beni and Gork (who has been here the whole time, apparently) are left with Pumat. The group begins the planning phase of their mini-heist.
Dircc and Journey will pose as Champs's parents taking their son on a field trip. "What if our last name was family? The Ion family." Bea rolls a 1 on stealth to sit in the lobby. Gen had planned to stay outside, but they switch because Bea fucked up. The Family enters - "I hold Journey's hand and look proud." After not nearly as many failed attempts as originally thought, they are somehow just allowed back there. Champ disables traps to get into the 'conjugation' lab. Journey immediately finds Pumat's blueprints - a clone machine (for producing multiple simulacra at once). They find the dunamancy room, so Journey is able to pick up her papers and leave magical replicas in their place. The final door has a magical lock of Wordle puzzles. Fucking wizards. The key words were 'magus', 'curse', and 'ghost'. An omen? 
Outside, everyone else is getting bored and decides that a distraction is needed. 2E starts shouting 'Where's my baby?'. "Cerberus is unfair, wizards are in there!" 
Back inside, Yussa's file is found, easy. Since they have time and a distraction going on, they look for the TACOSE file, but find it's been redacted, 'High Priority: full file in LD's office'. 
Bea buys eggs to egg the executive window for a distraction. Nobody has asked her to do this.
As they debate whether to get the file, a raspy ghost voice asks Champ for his ID. It...works? It's Manfred, the ghost of the old archivist that's been cursed by the magi. They just gotta get his bones out of Ludinus's office in order to free him. "We're on it, my guy." Dircc uses dust of disappearance, so nobody sees them. Unfortunately, they get the password wrong, the runes glow red, it's bad. 
Thank god Bea had those eggs. They egg the whole building.
Everybody reconvenes outside (away from the building where alarms aregoing off). They look through Yussa's file - he's being held in Ungebroch Castle, the home of King Bertrand Dwendal.
