*GM Auraliyaen Executive announced the new patch that touched on changes to some Aura techniques, mainly Soul Releases and Passive Techniques.
=== Part 1 ===
Vex and Juinn began interrogating the strange Blood-Humanoid attempting to get information on why he was breaking into the nearby house. As Rolym, Sade and Lavi went to look at the building that was attacked, the Blood-Humanoid seemed to consumed something hidden in his mouth while Juinn and Vex were distracted. His body began to spasm, and rapidly misshape and violently contort before exploding as solidified blood spikes grow from his body - killing him. With their only lead gone and the chance of onlookers noticing the horrific scene the party decided to come back later to investigate in the morning. It suddenly struck the party, they had nowhere to stay and it was about 1am...Vex and Lavi searched online for any quick accommodation but to no success, Instead there was a hostel that looked to house homeless and people who find themselves in unfortunate circumstances, the party fit in to both categories. The party arrived at the hostel at about 2am, the place was run down with boarded up windows, graffiti and holes littered throughout the walls. Juinn simply had to push the door open and with a creak it opened into a very rundown house. There were rats, leftover rubbish and beer bottles as well as a man in a polo shirt that was passed out behind a desk. The party slept uncomfortably and woke up around 9:30am to find the man behind the desk missing, though he did lock the door for them. Juinn, Lavi, Rolym and Sade decided to investigate the building of interest from last night and Vex stayed at the hostel, continuing her private investigation as she felt as though she was close to a breakthrough. Upon arriving at the apartment complex the streets were clean and there was no remainder of bodies or blood, the party assumed that the Drakesvision had already cleaned up through the night. The hole created from last night seems to have had some make-shift patching with a think wooden block loosely nailed to block the entrance. 
Rolym checked for any life signs in the building with his Sense Aura technique and located roughly 5 humans that were in the apartment complex. The party began investigating the apartment, They used a combination of Sade de-materialising the metal door-knobs internal locks and Rolym knocking down the doors of empty units, Lavi noticed that the building must have been foreclosed. Lavi figured the people that Rolym sensed must be squatters that were using the apartments as accommodation. The party went door to door with Rolym guiding them to where he sensed the presence of people, Rolym knocks on the door with the first squatter behind it and announces himself as the housing commission. Upon hearing Rolym the squatter behind the door began firing shots through the doorway and the party quickly took cover. Juinn rushed up to the squatter and knocked the gun out of his grasp, the squatter was terrified and began begging not to be hurt. The party questioned him about the commotion last night and if they knew why someone would attack the building. The squatter was a young man looking to be in his early 20s and didn't have any useful information, Juinn took his gun off him before giving him an intimidating look and the party then moved on to the other squatters. On the floor above Lavi ventured ahead and spoke to a young boy (roughly 6-7 years old) who had a Mohican. The boy attempted to kick Lavi in the nuts but was in quite a shock when there weren't any balls to kick. The young boy shut the door and ran back into the house just as the rest of the party arrived looking confused, as the party attempted to enter a series of bumps and thumps led to a bowling ball flying at the party. The party stepped effortlessly to the side and the ball rolled down the stairs of the building, the boy was shattered as his traps usually end with someone getting a major injury. With his trap failing, the boy took to a spiked little slugger bat for self-protection and hid away. The party caught up to the boy and Rolym took the slugger bat off him before he could do any more damage. The boy advised them that some old man tried to get into his home, who was wrinkly and had weird hair. He apparently sent the old man away as he looked like a rich person. Rolym created a blade of wind and left it with the boy to trade for information and the party left. 
The next apartment had an elderly man in it and who desperately needed his house cleaned and was very hard of hearing. The party helped him with some cleaning of his apartment, however he didn't hear anything due to having his hearing aids out when he sleeps. So far the only lead was from a young boy claiming an old man came to knock on the doors (not very helpful) , but the final two squatters were a man and women and the man claimed that an older man came around 11pm or so last night and was banging on everyone's doors asking to get let in. He said that he didn't let him in due to the potential danger to his girlfriend, as it is a very rough neighbourhood. The man gave the same description that the young boy gave so the party had a lead, they were looking for an older guy in a suit with strange green hair. To repay the favour Rolym used his SR to push air through their toilet and cleared a blockage. The last apartment that Rolym could sense aura from was a little different from the others, as soon as the door was opened the party saw a horrific giant rat standing at about 4ft tall. Something triggered in Juinn for him to unleash his kill instinct and in the blink of an eye Juinn leaped into the air and brought an elbow crashing down on the rats neck (talk about overkill). While the rest of the party stood stunned at Juinn's actions Lavi noticed that the rat had been eating one of the Blood-Humanoids bodies, but surely the rat could grow this big just from eating the Blood-Human. Sade took some blood samples, Juinn took on of the Blood-Humans leg?? and the party left the apartment building not wanting another mutant animal encounter. 
=== Part 2 ===
As the party spent the late morning/early afternoon investigating the site from last night's encounter, Vex spent time on her tablet researching. Vex dove into small channels on underground chat sites to gather information, she worked with a user by the codename of "Prepatriarch". She confirmed that the Green Rabbit Burrow is the name of an underground society who operates throughout Easforal, however they don't compare in influence, territory or power with Anchindrar. The nearest 'Burrows' are in Varora, and a nearby city of Entoros. She confirmed a member by the rank of 'Admin' within the Green Rabbit Burrow's name - Kason. He is the one that may have more information that she needs. When the others return back to the hostel, Vex shares the new developments in her investigation and research. The party agrees to aid her in finding out more information and the possible location of the Green Rabbit Burrow in the city later that night. During the down time waiting for it to become night the party realises that jumping from hotel to hostel has become not the most financial or comfortable situation to continue. Thinking over all options for a permanent place to stay the party pool together K140000 to buy a high end Mobile home equipped with enough bedding, gear and gadgets to suit all the parties needs. After talking to a helpful salesman at The High Life Motors Vehicle shop - Sade, Rolym and Juinn secure a deal for a 4-bedroom luxury motorhome with roughly K10,000 worth of extras added in (including a top of the line generator, a small compartment at the back for Rolym's motorbike, modification of the king bed to a bunk bed, and a paint job). They name the vehicle "The Highthpeed" in honour of the man that originally banded the group together. With accommodation sorted the party prepared to search for the Green Rabbit Burrow by following the clues Vex had found about an Admin called Kason. After the party asked around town about the Green Rabbit Burrow and Kason they find absolutely zero leads, the party decides to give up for the night and while they are heading back to The Highthpeed an armoured car pulls up next to them and all that greets them from the windows is multiple firearms (guess they caught someone's attention). 
A bullet hail rains down on the party from the armoured car and Juinn jumps on the car using his magnetic boots to stabilise himself as he tries to beat the car. Rolym summons a wall of wind between the car and the other members of the party to protect from future shots while Vex and Lavi aim to take out the steering of the car. Vex freezes a wheel and part of a front axle, whilst Lavi uses her corrosive bullets to take out the system from the back. Sade uses his Bladeless Hilt to begin attacking the body of the car, "this is one tough car" the party thought to themselves. Lavi and Vex succeed in taking out the steering and with the steering compromised the car begins to spin out of control. Juinn continues to try and assault the car but fails to rip off a window and gets his hand stuck. Rolym dismisses the wind wall and jumps onto the car with Juinn to assist. Vex tries to attack using an ice-infused scythe and Lavi attempts to overload a nearby light sitting above the car using volt ammo but both tasks were too overwhelming while the car span at a frightening 40km/h. As the car nears a nearby brick wall many of the occupants of the car attempt to leap out before being made into human pancakes. Sade spots one of the men leaving the vehicle and with blinding speed he summons lightning from his blade to slash him. Rolym and Juinn are flown off the car with Rolym using the momentum to swing from a nearby lamppost and land a devastating kick to another one of the men. The rest were dispatched by the party with ease which left one of the thugs alive, lets hope he has a good explanation for his actions as his life depends on it.
