The Stryke Family Ball

We wake up at the Inn

We discuss next moves - ball clothes, how to disguise Genesis

We talk about Edith's family and if we should look into the miraculous healing of her father

We ask if Genesis wants to see his sister

Genesis tries the potion and his appearance changes - it takes away his abilities and makes him feel sick :(

We head to Farthwell’s Threads & Fineries for clothes

We run into Edith’s sister who is very excited to see her

We head to the slums to talk to Franky

Guards are posted outside hideout, and Franky’s been apprehended

Ashe spots a spy, and chases down the kid - kid says he was hired by the head of the Halloways to see if the hideout was raided

We head to talk to Charlie

He’s surprised/shocked to see Genesis

He tells us that some of the sailors they suspect of sabotage have been thrown in the brig

That morale is super down, and people have been leaving their duties

That Genesis’ dad didn’t take his leaving well, and ventured out into the frost lands

He was presumed dead, but showed up after a while saying he had a lead on Genesis’ where-abouts

Indigo and Genesis head to the archive to learn about Frost Spawn

Frost spawn are driven by Fate and Destiny

The spawn that’s keeping Genesis alive/itself alive are supposed to fulfil the destiny of creating a nest

Ashe and Edith talk to the prisoners who say right before the sabotage happened, they heard a voice that they swore was their captain compelling them to cut the rigging/damage the sails, etc

One prisoner says they saw a cloaked figure

Some sabotage happened without anyone there

We take an Uber to the party

Early Evening:

Genesis fails at party (we all empathize)

Indigo overhears people blaming Meredith for the idol having gone missing; also notices a very mysterious masked man

Ashe notices Mr and Mrs Stryke greeting ppl, then going their separate ways. Mr leaves with his maid (?) the red dragonborn (omg we walked by Fritz Stryke last night at Zaezels)

Edith also fails at party - finds out no knew info from Ivy

Dinner:

Genesis flexes for the staff - Fritz has been developing golems at the mansion. He is about to announce a partnership between the Strykes and the city to use the ice golem as protection

Indigo - overhears the Halloways can’t produce more potions because they’ve hunted the mammoths to extinction. They’re trying to cover their ass while also implicating the Strykes

Ashe overhears Franz admitting to slipping the Sharks a golem in an effort to sour public opinion on the golems . He’s very concerned about his father’s personality, and wanted to postpone the announcement.

Edith - talks to family. That was FUN. Dad ignores her, Mom insults her, Selene cries, we’re all squirming in our seats.

Evening:

Genesis is checking out the masked figure, goes to put their shoulder, and his hand passes through. The masked figure tells Genesis his name is The Scion

Indigo: watches Ashe to make sure she’s safe

Ashe confronts the dragonborn (Veyra) in the garden. She is a Devout sister of the living sky, and that they are looking for the Breath Returned. She is the spitting image of the Breath Returned - the platinum dragon reborn. She gives Ashe a pendant. Astrid ran from the group in order to save her baby (Ashe). Veyra tells her travel to the mountains and become the breath Returned so Bahaumet can return

Next time Veyra tells us about Fritz
