## Mission Notes

The party started when Velda, the guilds newest member, finally sat at the bar for a drink, awaiting a visit from a more senior member for an induction. Skamos arrived and got a measure of the human, inviting them to get some R&R at Mercies Respite. While he did follow the tiefling, Velda did scan him with his divine sense, just in case.

What Velda met, was a small team of guild members consisting of Saymour, Peanut, Tas and Creed pouring over plans to a building. The tiefling duo began filling the party in on their mission: to infiltrate the shop of a new visitor to Otha's Rest, the being Skamos discovered to be Percival Asmodeus, and learn as much as possible about them without being detected.

Creed lead the party through the sewers to a secret entrance he'd previously scouted. A couple of the party noticed that they were being watched intently by rats. Saymour killed one to eat later. As they arrived at a ladder, Creed left the party to serve as a distraction. As everyone went in, Tas realised they'd become encircled by a swarm of rats and befriended one.

In the supply cubbord, they instantly realised something was off. The ceiling was 80ft high and the walls were filled with brooms. Exploring the 1st floor corridor, the party were set upon by an Animated Broom that quickly drew the attention of a few more Animated objects, including books. Velda quickly learned of the Celestial nature of the area and fled back the way they came as the rest of the party investigated further.

Velda quickly found that the swarm of rats had now encompassed the sewers, along with some deer. Each had jet black eyes. They spoke in unison addressing Velda directly and, after Velda gave Percival his name, made vague comments about his intentions before all the rats vanished. Velda ran to the nearest exit, only to find himself back where he left in shop. He cursed, leaving through the front door with a slam.

Meanwhile, the party found that the shop seemed to be repeating and started peering in the different rooms. They raided a workshop, finding enough materials to gain 200gp to share and a cleansing stone. They raided another, finding books, ledgers, diaries and Animated knives, which downed Saymour. Brave little Peanut dived between the knives and her Tabaxi guildmate and healed him, then began grappling the blades until they fled. Tas read a book high up on the bookshelves and became transfixed, seeing the life of a human woman "Emily Savant." Tas was compelled to watch as Emily was sent to hell, tortured and broken into becoming a twisted Pit Fiend, feeling everything Emily experienced. Something in Tas liked it. In the ledger, Peanut found that Percival was previously buying wood, but later switched to people. She spotted the name "Emily Savant." As she began to close the book, she saw another name magically appear. "Velda." Under the purchase column, next to his name, read "pending."

They returned to the guild, finding Creed, Skamos and Grrder getting a drubbing from Velda, scared by what he saw. His fears weren't helped why they informed him of what they found. As the party began wondering what to do next, Creed piped up, with a devilish grin, "Okay guys. Here's what we're going to do..."
