We departed Dargos’ camp. Something seemed to have gone down while were absent, with fortifications established around the ship Faeryl, along with the beavers and nymphs had been defending the ship from undead We left, traveling back through the portal We discovered that Nirx’s eyes had been replaced by glowing magical eyes, enhancing his eyesight Lady Rayla provided us a bag of obscuring to hide our contraband and gave us a step-by-step of how to infiltrate Celestia Step 1: Infiltrate Celestial airspace Step 2: Get into Arcadia Step 3: Locate Reverend Atum in Arcadia Step 4: Break into the city of Orinos Step 5: Traverse the Levels of Orinos Step 6: Break into the Palace of Transcendence Step 7: Locate the Chamber of the Iridescent Symposium Step 8: Retrieve the Finger of Zonyak Step 9: Break into the Choir of Squall Step 10: Travel through the Choir of Squall Step 11: Find and enter the Vault of the Raven Queen Step 12: Save the Raven Queen The party took a long rest to prepare for the heist I spent time brewing healing flasks and conversing with Dennis the Oni Dennis is from a smaller plane near the Desert of Arak Gael proposed to Glizz the idea of creating contacts across the different planes to form a network of allies He suggested that Glizz take over the now leaderless Salenor Asylum Rayla conducted a ritual to make us appear Celestial even to the eyes of Angels The sensation was like Slick’s shattered soul was slightly stitched back together Rolled for personality and switched to the Baron Gael’s friend Glizz provided us with forged trade documents to help us get into Arcadia We began flying toward Arcadia and were not shot down this time thanks to a sigil given to us by Rayla Near the city, we were approached by a winged male aasimar named John Johann We bumbled heavily but managed to get past the check and land at the sky dock in Arcadia I wrote a message to Faeryl, Dennis, and Claura with instructions to take the ship to Safehaven since we would not be returning to the ship after our heist I agreed to pay Azathar’s fare back to the water plane if he agreed to steer the ship back to Salenor and ensure it safely reached Safehaven We entered the city and asked around for information to find Reverend Atum We got directions that he was located at the largest Gastran church in the lower city He met him and he took us to a back room full of contraband to discuss plans with him He seemed exasperated with Rayla’s antics and the nature of our request Atum proposed smuggling us in as false cargo, suggesting a warehouse in the lower city that we could infiltrate We killed two guards to breach the facility. Surprising them and killing them quickly. After which, I hid the bodies amongst nearby foliage. We killed two more guards at the rear of the facility and hid their bodies as well Gael hid some property from the warehouse at a nearby church of Yontu to make the crime look like a robbery by another party We found a cage in the warehouse with an orcish man trapped inside We freed him and allowed him to leave His name was Smelvin Constance made sure that we got into crates with the label “The Pious” to ensure we reached the highest level of Orinos We were slowly and arduously transported into Orinos, being the first ever living mortals to cross the Gates of Arcadia   New Characters: John Johann Reverend Atum Smelvin
