## Mission Notes

The party were requested to attend a conference on monstrous creatures. A growing number of non-believers were causing doubt in the universities cryptozoology program, all convinced that creatures the guild members know to be real are in-fact part of some strange concipritcy and are actually fictional. Arnold Darwin, head of the department requested the guild help in convincing these conspiracy theorists that they do infancy exist.

Upon arriving at the conference each member of the group gave a short speach about some of the things they had encountered. Some worsening the situation by giving a description of a tree… (Seymour was trying to talk about Treants). At the end of the last presentation the room went black, screams and crashes resounding though the darkness.

Upon the light returning, the leader of the conspiracy theorists was found dead, neck sliced open. The figure of a large Wendigo (the subject of Arnold’s research) racing past the door.

The team quickly proved that the cuts had not been caused by claws, but instead a bladed weapon. They also deduced that the Wendigo had in fact been an illusion.

Searching the grounds for clues they quickly uncovered evidence pointing towards Arnold as the culprit. Searching his office however they deduced he had most likely been set up by Sandy, his assistant and the former lover of Ash, the leader of the conspiracy theorists.

After perusing her only to get information on Arnold, he left her and used the information to leverage the university to cut Arnold’s funding. This resulted in Sandy being let go. Spurned and out of a job she had set her sights on revenge.

After a very brief confrontation, including a banishment and far too many readied actions, Sandy was apprehended and handed to the authorities.

## Player Diaries

### Ammeños' Diary

> Now for something completely different for Ammeños, being asked to come to a conference about Cryptozoological creatures in the world. Arnold Darwin the lead researcher of cryptozoological department along with his colleagues Sandy and Ash needed us to talk about the creatures we have faced on our adventures (Sharian, Lizz, Bearhugger, Kandy, Seymour and myself). Out of nowhere something attacked Ash slashing him to shreds getting us readied up for a fight, amongst all this chaos Sandy pulled a alarm (that secured us inside the university building) hiding near the back of the stage with Arnold, I decided to go towards Ash to see if I could help but unfortunately he was dead by the time I got there. The group split up to find more information about the happenings at the university and why Ash was killed. Trying to keep everyone safe we huddled together in the conference hall and found out that Sandy was angered by being let go and wanted revenge I guess , killing Ash using what seemed like illusory magics. At this point we all attacked her trying not to kill her in the process so she could face justice for this despicable crime she committed.

### Kandy's Diary

> Dear Diary,
>
>
> The team assembled and were teleported to the Conference by Sharian and his Magic box. On our way to the conference, i quickly decided that I disliked Seymour as he talked of trying to kill Trees . Have i mentioned that i like Trees.
>
>
> We had to tell stories of our magical adventures and the strange creatures we've met along the way. Seymour wanted me to help with his story by casting minor illusion, so i said i would but decided no to in the end. I did help Bearhugger with the spell tho and Liz very much riled up the Crowd.
>
>
> Sharian decided to scare an Audience member by unleashing a talking Balloon . They then summoned a Special looking Horse and full scared the Audience member out of the Conference in a panic. Seymour then followed after he in order to mischievous, i followed after him. I told Seymour to just "Not" and the Npc just disappeared.

>
> I gave my ttalk on my Taking Fox, unfortunately he did not speak and showed me up. I suddenly got a bit nauseous but used my back up plan of talking about my new Tree friend from the Feywild but i was Boo~ed off stage.
>
>
> Ammenós threw a sea hags head at the crowd for his performance but in that moment the stage went dark. A Wendigo was leaving the venue with a Dead guest known as Ash.
>
>
> This girl Sandy locked down the facility with a magic Fire alarm. I was suspicious of her so joined Bearhugger and Sharon to look at her office. Sharian kept pulling out magical items. In Sandys office we discovered that she was being Fired and Ash was using her to discredit sandys Boss. We found that Sandy was going to frame her Boss for the murder of Ash, and take over the department. I've got to admit i like her Spirit.
>
>
> We then went to the accusing Phase. Bearhugger went on stage and pretended to acuse Sandys Boss as We all moved in to grab her. We announced she was the killer and Sharian Banished her to a dimension for like a minute. When she returned i stabbed her up quite alot but she was quite powerful.
>
>
> A fight ensued where i almost died instantly. But she was quickly apprehended. I suppose this Ash guy was Revived but i would have rather seen Sandys Plan see completion.
