## The Adventure begins as...

In the wake of the events at the recent Conclave (See Session 64-65), there is a lot that needs doing sooner rather than later. Firstly, Lady Jane Pryor, the Daughter of the Current Baroness of Pelgate has shown herself to be in league with Waiqir, and secondly, Bea, the leader of the League and former Justice of the Shadow Conclave, is dead, leaving the League leaderless.

### A Covert Meeting...

In response, Courage, the most impulsive member of the Shadow Conclave, has called a secret meeting of League Agents at a small farmhouse just outside of Archaut. Under the auspices of the farm's owner, Tykka Woodhouse, the meeting is convened and the agents given their task. Travel from here to the Pelgate Barony and investigate the extent of Waiqir's influence and general corruption within the Pryor Family. In addition, to discern if the fugitive, Lady Jane, has returned to her family and either re-capture her, or gather information to allow her recapture by other forces. The agents are given what little information is available given the suddenness of recent events, some resources and select information from the League's records on Pelgate and the Pryor Family and are advised to set off as soon as possible.

The group sets off, heading south through Dawnsmoor and onto Skyhold, before shifting to river travel, heading upriver to Riverwatch, and continuing upriver along the Mounts of Morshan to Port Vymoth.

### Plotting in Port Vymoth.

Port Vymoth is a town divided. A mercantile and industrial boom, centred on its role as a shipping and transport hub, has resulted in a profitable merchant class and a working class very much in thrall to their employers. The well-to-do central district of the town is showing signs of great prosperity, but that prosperity would appear to have thrown the abject lives of those outside the district into cruel relief. Walls and well-fortified guardposts line the border between the cities two sections, and bitterness and resentment among the city's poor seems to be approaching a boiling point.

Hugh restricts his movements to the well-to-do district and he makes contact with an old crony named Phinneas who catches him up on the latest gossip in the region, while Leopold and Rast acquire the services of an enterprising and perceptive young street urchin named Ferrit who acts as their guide to the lower city.

### Disharmony.

During one such scouting mission, they uncover rumours of a growing movement within the city's lower section, a populist, seditious movement led by a trio of influential bards known only as Harmony, Melody and Lyric. In search of more details on this movement, Leopold and Rast discover an underground rally/performance by Harmony and Leopold spots a familiar face. Cuthbert is an extremely adept undercover operative last seen in Frest, in the employ of Baroness Harriett. It would appear that he is the motive force behind this latest discontent, though his current employer is unknown.

Unfortunately, just as Leopold notices him, Leopold and Rast notice someone else noticing him. Threatening figures are moving towards Cuthbert and Harmony and Leopold and Rast move to intercept... but with a large crowd on the edge of eruption between them, can our heroes get there in time, and even then, will they be able to get out again alive?
