After completing the trials of the Temple of Pure Water and obtaining the three pieces of some ring, the party returned to the central chamber to search for an exit. Turns out, they needed to put the pieces together to form the Ring of the Aquan Guardian which called forth the temple's guardian, Lysidia. The Souper Troopers had some lovely conversation with this half-woman, half-octopus looking creature that once served some old gods (some of which are no longer available) and she mentioned that she's not a big fan of void corruption. As she opened the pathway to exit the temple, she also cleansed Logi of his curse and granted each member of the party a boon that gave them one additional attunement slot.
The Souper Troopers then rested up and began their many day journey to head back to Piltover to see if they could cash in on their quest. Along the way, they ran into the Bason's Bunch and killed the cultists they were escorting. The lead cultist was acting a bit suspicious and appeared to be heading to the Temple of Pure Water possibly to do some weird Void Cult shit there or something. He ended up killing himself and turning into a big corrupted ooze creature that both nobody liked. Feeling slightly pressured since they ruined the job, the Souper Troopers let Bason's Bunch take off with the loot, including the totally safe trident. Nothing wrong with that thing.
Well anyways... the Souper Troopers eventually made it back to Piltover where there has been a bit of chaos. During their time away, there was an infiltration of group of cultists, followed by an earthquake and riots in the old city. Civil unrest is up and so is police/military presence!
While in the nicer half of the city, the party was able to cash in on rewards and sell some of the unwanted loot. They also had some mail to read through.
From Ophelia to the group, dated 2 weeks ago: A book on traveling across planes.
From Ophelia to the group, dated 1 week ago: A bounty on the death of Gnaur paying out 3000gp plus anything you find in his lair. Instructions to bring this note and proof of his demise to Professor Telsi at the University. However, another team may arrive to deal with it if you take too long.

Note from Jeaks that they have been tasked with investigating the Undercity but can return if needed. Reach out with sending stone if you need to contact them.
There were also a couple news articles the party missed.
