After leaving the cultist hideout, I began to spend the next couple of days researching various topics like General E and the cultists that took Sylvie. I learned a couple of new things about our stone-faced friend such as the fact that he may be a construct, which would mean someone else is commanding him. Great. I've hired a spy (who I'll be calling "One") to keep tabs on the guards and to meet me in the town square if he finds anything. Talking about new allies, a woman named Kit Blackmold who is a mage found my interest in General E... interesting. She asked me why I was trying to learn more about him and even gave me some information about his powers. Now that I'm thinking about it, how does she know about stone-face's power? Why is she afraid of him? Why is her tongue black? Too many questions in my opinion.   I also started my investigation on where Sylvie was taken to, asking the help of Josephine who came back to me with a strange potion and a vision of an apocalyptic Oasis forty years ago. Joey, Ham, and I split up to investigate any temples that may have taken Sylvie or knows about the position. When we reconvened, I told the others my theory on the Scripture. If someone rewrites something in there, they change the history of the desert, and I believe that something already changed, and whatever lived in that apocalyptic Oasis wants to return home. I have little evidence of this exact theory but it's something. The three of us split up, Ham going to a library to research any major religious events that happened in the year five-hundred, Joey going to talk to the cultists that we helped clear the names of for more information on cults, and I will be staying behind to keep an eye on little buddy, just to make sure no one is after him from his misadventures which caused him to be covered in blood (that didn't belong to him). I should keep a closer eye on him...

We FINALLY made it to the cultist hideout and we found some prisoners... including LB and Joey. So it's safe to say we're not gonna let that happen again. Anyway, we also found a cultist chained up scarred to say traitor, and an incredibly dehydrated individual who we rescued. LB and I found two tapestries, one with commandments and the other with what seemed to be a warning. After LB and I played dice, we discovered a false wall leading to a strange doorway. With some investigation with Partner, we used the warning tapestry to solve the puzzle and be teleported into the final chamber. We wrecked some cultists riding centipedes, an overall enjoyable experience. OH CRAP, WE GOTTA SAVE SILVY.

I woke up to find Joey and Little Buddy to be gone, going somewhere "important" and I trust her with him so I don't really mind. It was just me and Ham who went to investigate the crime scene later. We managed to find blood and animal tracks which we followed into a moss-covered sewer and discovered a shelter hidden beneath one of the tunnels. We try to investigate further but don't find anything short of a crude drawing of pornography.   While we continued to follow the tracks we eventually made it to our targets: a demonic guy, a small fox girl, a tall elf, the ice witch we met yesterday, and an Aasimar. Because we don't trust General E, we agreed to help them clear their crimes with the government by defeating a group of cultists (a task which was given to them by another general).   After a while of searching the tunnels and shoving sewer excrement into Silvie's nose, poor thing, we found two Excelsis priests chanting something in an unknown language. They give us information about where the cult is but tried to drag Silvie away from us. After a lot of arguing against them, we begrudgingly let Silvie go through with whatever they wanted to do. This was a bad idea. Silvie just vanished. Ham and I dropped one of the priests to the ground while the others killed the one responsible. We tried to get information out of him but it seemed like even he didn't know.   Whatever happened, they said they were going to "fix Silvie's mind." I highly doubt that's a good thing so once I help clear Silvie and the other's names I'm going to look for her and kick as much ass as necessary to help her.

Though I'm not a fan of the enforcers of the law, I was showing little buddy their actions to teach him that helping people is important. Afterward, we watched an Ice Witch use some magic, this somehow ended in disaster. After our encounter, I saw a guard fall asleep as the Ice Witch walked away from him. Other guards went to arrest her, and when I tried to intervene believing her to be innocent, I FELL ASLEEP. When I woke up smelling what I can only assume is the demons who sleep in their own filth in the bottom-most depths of hell, little buddy and I were being arrested!   Obviously, we booked it the second we got the chance (thanks Ice Witch). It took some deception to finally get away from them, including me accidentally getting an innocent person beat up (sorry). She ended up being Josephine, who doesn't seem that bad, maybe a little bit too much of a fanatic but it's not my place to change how people worship. Also, Ham showed up with the clutch by picking up little buddy while I was playing the hurt old woman bit. In thanks, I took the two to lunch.   After I had the world's worst piece of lamb, the law caught up to us. All of us were arrested and thrown into a pit for 20 minutes, I hope dad wasn't watching that part. After which we met up with "General E" (not his real name). He says he'll pay us by A. not arresting us, and B. paying us if we take in out the misfits we met in the town square. We really don't have a choice, and I fear what would happen if I rejected the "Will of Excelsis" in front of Joey.
