-Archmage can teleport us, says she'll extract payment later. Fae?

-Javier gets us croissants

-Eclipsa explains exorcism, says they need ingredients, decide BL is an evil celestial rather than a fiend. "Is bitch a category?"

-Can Rumbles melt the obsidian bracelets?

-Rakesh apparently had the blood on him this whole time from Satyrs. Wasn't freely given though

-Lucian wants to go to church in Rotund before mtns to assemble reinforcements. tells Xander which church when he asks

-Harogash is dealing with absolutely smitten Javier, says he will help us get ingredients but won't get us body parts because there was a bad experience before with that

-Lies about knowing fae, is married to a faun woman, tells us someone tried to eat their baby so is not keen on sharing info about her. Does get us an obsidian bowl though. Mei provides the ruby

-Share info about dragons from research "Take them out where the twin rivers meet"

-Mei confers in Sylvan with Javier. Asks where he lives so she can retrieve Annabella, leaves.

-Xander meets Air, aarakocra friend, outside. Doesn't know about teleportation, but does suggest some ideas about dragons, enlarge/reduce, keeping it on the ground

-Eclipsa gets calendar of moon cycles, next new moon is in two days. Don't know what moons, if any, are needed for Matteo's ritual

-Takes a week to get to where they are in the mountains from Rotund

-Book of Vile Darkness - Surprise - was already taken thanks to a large donation to the library. The twins have it

-Rakesh insults Xander, Xander tries to hit him but is thwarted by doggo. Mei comes in with Annabella, she is very nervous, has her baby with her

-Lucian casts evil/good for the first time. Mei lights up. So does Xander but we don't know that yet

-Let her know we need her blood. Ask if she's a good person, she's killed someone. Still, is willing to give it. Lucian does the honors. Will extract payment in the form of a favor later. Lucian heals her and she leaves

-Mei suggests they don't need to fight, they just need to remove Callus. Everyone says that's a bad idea. Rakesh insults Mei, Mei storms out. Eclipsa follows her and convinces her to come back inside

-Lucian asks Xander of his knowledge of what is going on with Callus

-Eclipsa goes to Archmage for help with a way out. Gives a scroll of Arcane gate. Again, payment to be extracted later

-Xander has an emergency way out. Is being very cagey

-Xander/Mei will work on chant.

-Rumbles poots out obsidian. Is from The Flame, according to Javier. Think he's a guardian, but seeing how smol, maybe not. Might have been stolen. Should return him?

-Harry and Javier have a heart to heart. Javier has a fucking eidetic memory and has read all the books, including the restricted ones. Harry almost kinda blackmails him. Author of the book makes the subject matter "touchy"

-Twins were wearing pendants of hands with eyes made of gems - Vecna uh oh

-Call up archmage and say we're ready to go. NOT A FAE. Fire. Wind up a little ways outside Rotund, head straight for the church. Xander and Mei have a moment outside, doll has a heartbeat. Lucian goes in and finds mommy, says he wants to talk to her and Grimthorn. They want to talk to us too. Uh oh.

-Two graves at church vandalized, father's grave and Glory's. Glory's body is gone. Guess where that is.

-Acolytes are milling ruby and gold for us as well as checking goodness level of blood vial

-Lucian's going to be a big brother

-Mom and stepdaddy are laying it on thick with Harry. Harry says he's dealing with some stuff and can't devote himself to Shar.

-Lucian has nightmare depicting the blue haired woman who killed Glory and then immediately died. Attention drawing to seven lines of hieroglyphs on back wall, seem important

-Mei and Lucian chat

-Lucian and Xander chat

-Xander and Rakesh... chat?

-Xander's a fae. I think I know what's happening.
