## Mission Notes

Tak goes off to find the members of the guild she thinks might help with such a task. Finding Bok in the Graveyard of the Chapel of the Gods, after a brief exchange Bok agrees to help. Niún is eventually located when Sunny, Tak's exotic bird that lives in her hood Taks hood, flys over the orchards surrounding Otha's Rest calling out Niún's name. Led back to Tak it is explained that Beefington had people from the guild to wipe out a whole tribe of Wood Elves in the North Vail. The final member of the team is found with his new friend he had made 4 days prior, Buzz (look up name later)., in a meadow of flowers.

Heading back to the Guildhouse the group looked for an "eye" to contact Sharian, noticing a small creature with a massive eye sat in the rafters of the Guild hall. Tak received a message to wait there and Sharian will meet them there in a second to go somewhere more private. Leading the group up to his room and there through extradimensional door to a spacious mansion. Meeting Sharian's Simulacrum for the first time, the group are invited to eat and drink while they discuss plans of getting evidence against their unfit Guild Master.

A shortlist of places to check out are discussed, Bok mentions he wants to check out the stables as he has heard Beefington say that's where he would keep zombies if he had them. The other places brought up to check for evidence is Jacklyn Von Beefington house, the daughter of Beefingon, Beefington's own house, the pie shop Beefy Bois and Beefington's office in the Guild House. While this is going on a selection of food and drinks is brought out. The group decides the best port of call given the time of day would be Jacklyn's house given she is actually quite dedicated to the job and won't be home for a while so the house should be empty. Before leaving Sharian lends the group a pair of Gloves of thievery and a Wand of Detect Magic, but forgets to cast a Telepathic Bond on them due to being too distracted by the food.

Heading over to the Mansion District the group head up to Jacklyn Von Beefington's house, with Peace breaking away from the group turning into a mouse to sneak in. Knocking at the door Tak takes the lead as the maid of the house answers wanting to know what they want. Tak quickly says they are here from the guild on behalf of the Lady of the house as she wants her bookmark for her bookclub. Not knowing what they are on about but fearing she had not listened to something the lady of the house said, she invites them in to help her look for it. Peace sneaks in and heads up the stairs to scout around for any evidence that might be hidden. The rest of the group are led into a lounge and one by one take their leave to try and look for evidence, Bok by looking for the study, Niún by taking the wand of Detect Magic and pretending it is a want of locate object and leaving the room. Tak finds a Dagger hidden in one of the books being used as a bookmark and quickly pockets it while Niún was pretending to use the wand.

Peace finds himself in the main bedroom and goes through things until an unusual sight is found in the wardrobe. A well used bridle and riding crop are found in the wardrobe, thinking this didn't make any sense and could be evidence it is placed in his bag. Bok heads the direction of the study and discovers a storage room that looks like no one has visited for some time, poking around Bok eventually moves onto the study where he finds a bunch of paperwork in a filing cabinet. Peace works he way over to the storage room finding some magical ledgers and doing a more thorougher search of the room find some magical sheets of paper. Cleaning up the dust in the room so there aren't any traces of anyone being in there. Turning into a cat Peace slinks out to meet with everyone else. Niún running upstairs taking a magical bar of soap from the bathroom, before coming across Peace and Bok who had grabbed a bookmark from the study. The group leaves the house claiming to have found what the lady of the house wanted.

Heading out the group decide to head to Beefington's house, Peace as a cat scouts out the mansion seeing no way in but notices a woman in sunbathing in the background. Heading back to the group to relay the information, Niún picking up on Peace having no way to talk to them and just meowing at them casts speak with animals. Passing on the information the group make plans. Tak waits in the bushes for an opening to try and sneak in, while Bok and Niún trying using the same tactic as before and knock on the door.

Opening the door is a Butler who is quite straight to the point, introducing themselves as part of the Otha's Rest Book Club, Bok and Niún ask to speak with the lady of the house about becoming a patron of the group. The butler assures them that she wouldn't be interested in anything like that and asks to see some literature of the group, failing that he points them in the direction of the guild house to speak with the lord of the house.

Taking this as her chance to strike, Tak sneaks around the back of the house, entering the back door and listening for movement. Upon hearing nothing but Niún's knocking on the front door Tak makes her way upstairs. Coming across the home office of Beefington with a huge painting of himself which the artist had taken some massive creative licence with how it depicted him. Looking through the draws Tak found a magnifying glass, letters of baby Beefington and a sack of gold.

Moving along Tak found the master bedroom with a large round bed in the center, walls plastered with portrait of beefington. Look around the room for evidence and checking behind each one portrait she is disturbed by foot steps coming up the stairs, quickly thinking she leaps under the bed. The woman woman sunbathing from before comes in the room and with a sigh throws herself onto the bed. Tak being pinned underneath uses her mage hand to knock something form the cabinet. Creating a distraction which causes the woman to stand up and freeing herself from the springs Tak pushing down on her, scrambles to the otherside of the bed to make her escape out the window.

Deciding that was enough sneaking around for one day with such a close call, the group head back to Sharian for some identifying and nice relaxing time vowing to check out the other places at a later date.
