Notes
We start back at the alchemy store. Dr. Byron Dark is trying to buy stuff.
After we head to the Jade Alliance. They try to sell pearls.
We trade it for a diamond and 22 coins. Atlas is called the gnome seller.
We know the Jade Alliance is a front for something. But we guess Atlas is not into what the Jade Alliance is really doing.
We come up with a plan. We try to find the drow. Speak to him in general. And later try to follow him invisible. See if we can steal his book / journal
On the stage of the Dark Wood Inn an announcement is made that all artisans can join in a contents of ice sculpting. We order drinks and a room for the day.
The Wynling goes to spy on a guy that as a simular book that the drow also has. It is probably thiefs cant. Gideon goes to speak with him. He is drinking milk and doesn't like to be disturbed. When he goes out. Willow and Darcy follow him invisible. He heads to the underground entrance of the Jade Alliance. Wynling is following him inside. There is a door. The guy speaks some words and knocks 3 times. The door opens. A female is in that room and they know they are being followed. Wynling is dismissed to cause no issues.
From all the information we gathered we got that the passphrase is "The glows red" and knock 3 times on the bottom part of the door. Disguised as different people we had to the underground door of the Jade Alliance. Dr. Byron Dark manages to lockpick the outer. We are trapped. The secret phrase was a misleading.
We are captured and taken to a cell. Without our stuff we are in our own appearance. We speak to Cathrin an elf woman. Under influence of a zone of truth we spill our beans. They agree eventually that we should form an alliance. They set us free and we discuss what this alliance would look like.
We discuss that our first goal is find out who is behind the murders. Find the source of the poison. Cathrin knows that there are creatures in the waters that do the attacks. They use poison for some reason.
The Gem of Dusk can be activated by fire elementals in Primum.
Jade Alliance has found a body of one of the aquatic creatures. Dr. Byron Dark investigates it. It looks very similar to the aquatic creatures we seen in the Lab
