When last we left our heroes... It was quite a bit of work, but Reiana, Vanera, and Anaris finally managed to get in to see Mother Superior Zishunei of the Convent of the Ram of Dawn. The conversation with the Mother Superior was... less than illuminating, but she did eventually tell Anaris what she needed to know to complete her pilgrimage, and she agreed to put the Companions in touch with members of the local Resistance. They were to meet them outside the city gate the following evening.
In the meantime, Tanurendal and Tengelbur were busy pursuing their own line of inquiry: having left the Perfumer's tent, they headed back almost immediately after deciding that they needed some kind of "knockout gas" to use on the Governor's guards. Although the Perfumer didn't have anything matching that description, they eventually paid a hefty price in silver for hallucinogenic honey from the Northern Moors. Taking the honey to the nearest local tavern with a catering service -- the aptly named "busty baroness" -- they catered a party at the Governor's mansion for that evening.
Meeting back up with the unlikely duo inside the Busty Baroness, Reiana and Vanera were a little aghast at the plans that had been made without their input (to say nothing of consent). Thoranrai eventually suggested that the women in the party dress up as serving staff from the Busty Baroness, while the men pass themselves off as drivers and cooks. In the meantime, though, they seem to have been followed to the Busty Baroness by hooded figures--either the agents of the Governor, or possibly more of the so-called "Sons of Orusen..."
