With Kilvag dead the Wahda Guild met with Princess Strella and discussed what to do in the aftermath of the war. Princess Strella said that her forces would finish purging the Fey Valley of the unseelie, and when they were done they could hold a banquet in the Guild's honor and pay them for their services. Dolan was offered

Blažej wanted to go to the library at the cirrus conservatory to \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_. Tarthurac sent Koritha and Warren to escort him. Leora wanted to get stronger and left with The Guild to live in Alfenheim for a while.

Upon returning, Jill informed Tarthurac of the situation surrounding the warforged disappearing and the massacre that took place at Igor's house. Since there were Aaracocra bodies, Tarthurac decided it was time ot pay Avalon a visit. Jill decided she would need to come along since this was more a matter of Alfenheim security than a guild mission. Artemis, Leora, Jill, Tarthurac and Selena teleported to Seelie's bane and then flew to Avalon.

Upon their arrival three warning shots were fired at them and they were told to identify themselves. After doing so they were escorted to a landing dock where they were searched. The Aaracocra seemed very interested in Artemis' bag of holding and Jill's Thundercanons from Hell. Leora noticed a specific Aaracocra with highly reflective sea blue eyes was watching them stealthily from a distance.

After waiting for some time an Aaracocra wearing very archaic style purple and gold armor approached the group. He introduced himself as Cyric Dane. He took the group to a guard barracks to talk. They informed him of everything they knew about Phoenix and the deaths of the three Aaracocra. Cyric told them that those aaracocra had been at Igor's hut on a diplomatic mission to try to find schematics on the warforged who had attacked Avalon almost a year ago.

Jill asked to see the records of Ikki's death. Cyric took them to the hall of records and flashed his badge, a winged purple eye with a mechanical iris, and this was enough to grant him access to anywhere he needed to go. He took them to the hall of records and retrieved the information on Ikki's death. The records said Ikki was killed by Githyanki mortar fire. Cyric mentioned that he didn't see it happen as he had been injured dueling a githyanki knight during the first githyanki attack.

The party next went to the office of President Orville Zephyria to ask him about his son's death. Orville was not a pleasant man and took offense to their inquiries. Eventually he told them that Ikki had died in an accident while resisting arrest, and it was Horus's idea to cover it up. Letting Ikki die an unsung hero rather than a disgraced convict. During the conversation, Selena cast the spell detect thoughts on the president without his knowledge. The President seemed to blame Cyric for his predicament and for letting the Guild talk to him. Once they left the room though, Cyric recognized the spell and dispelled it. Selena mentioned she cast the spell at the behest of voices in her head and Cyric said that by Avalonian law that classified her as a public risk and she was escorted out of the city.

While she was outside the city she flew around and saw much of the city's defenses were being renovated and upgraded, as well as a giant landing platform that was being created, under which something very large was moving, but she couldn't make out what it was.

Jill requested the group stop by a bar, and she received a bottle of fine brandy on Cyric's tab. While there they found out Gambling was a popular pass time in Avalon. After this they went to see Horus. Horus was working with another Artificer named Cadra, on a large project, but it was concealed with tarps when the group arrived. Jill took Horus aside and after some questioning accused him of being Phoenix, which he found very offensive and he ended the interview.

After this the group left Avalon and met up with Selena at the spot where Ikki's body should have landed outside the city. They found rubble from the explosion that launched him, but they didn't find him. However, with a massive 31 on her investigation check, Artemis found a faint residue left on one of the support columns of the city. The Residue had damaged the finish on the column and was causing snow to be able to stick to the pillar, essentially leaving delayed footprints. The prints were from a creature native to Thal'Thaxia known as a Chamolican. Color changing giant chameleons who live in the Virax territory. The footprints lead up the pillar to very close to where Ikki was blasted from the city's wall. This was strong evidence that someone had caught Ikki's body before it hit the ground, strengthening the idea that Phoenix and Ikki were one and the same person.

With this information, the group headed back home to Alfenheim.
