General Summary
At breakfast, after a futile chase by Stelsor, to try to kill Guildmistress Wandry's new rooster, and a visit to her to complain, Dreamflower received a letter by Frascata Carmina:
Greetings, Dreamflower
I am Frascata Carmina, we met at Tamed Rapids' palace, but we couldn't speak.
I have a problem, and my friend and sponsor, Burning Feather, seems a bit too close to help me with it.
I was wondering if you and your friends would be available for hire, for a.. strike mission.
Before the treaty protects some territories, i believe some clean-up is warranted,
Frascata.P.S. I'm at Essence of Spice Trade's palace, for the moment, housesitting. Feel free to join me there.
A quick visit to Spice Trade Palace later, Dreamflower and Stelsor were presented with the request to hit Warehouse #6, in the North Docks of Nexus district, close to the palace. Before the treaty was signed, and destroy the Black Sunshine there, reducing supply. Dreamflower used a few charms, and was quickly convinced Frascata was being sponsored by the Tang-Zen to make this request.
Unconvinced, our heroes went back to the holdings in River district, investigating the flooded areas, which were apparently made floodable in part because of malfunctioning first age equipment. Using the cirrus skiff, and floating from the top purification basin to where the machine was hidden, protected by anima-flare detecting doors. Working to clean and repair the machinery, Dreamflower called upon her twilight anima ability to summon a water elemental, he Son Gokuu-ed the dirt away, and he mentioned an even more impressive basin, full of purified water. Following the labyrinthine corridors, the party was led to ancient caverns with stalagtites and stalagmites that had been ancient upon the Usurpation. Upon their center, on a twelve-fold arrangement of stone tables, a crystalline teardrop constituted a Manse's heart, and Dreamflower attuned it to her own anima.
