		+
		+	The Titan Breakers were met by Flea, the street urchin and Tide agent who had guided Zarus to the Silver Feather. Flea congratulated the Breakers on their victory and confirmed that they wanted a safe house. Flea lead them to the Old Oak Distillery in the Lower Ward. On the way, Zarus gave away trinkets from the Feather to beggars and other poor people, often surreptitiously.

		+	When Flea returned, he brought back Bryn and a dwarf male mage in purple battle robes. Bryn meditated. The dwarf approved Eldrin and introduced himself as Dindaro. Dindaro explained that Jakun had sent him to test Eldrin, and took the hero aside for several hours.
		+
		+	Cora helped the freed slaves eat and rest, too. Throughout the afternoon and evening, Tide agents came and went, taking each of the freed slaves away. The agents explained to the Breakers that each freed slave would have the choice of returning to their homeworld or making a new life in Sigil. Before departing, the slaves thanked the Breakers for their aid: Zeshynia (half-elf female), Sadarek (human male), and Darsa and Sayada (halfling females), who decided to stick together. Only Alpine Autumn Sky, the tabaxi female, remained.
		+
		+	Salbjörg delighted in getting to know Cerden and Org. They explained they were from a Prime world called Faerun. On their lifelong quest to perfect their drinks they'd found their way to Sigil. The brothers had found the business in Sigil cut-throat, especially in whiskey. They'd found their niche in high-end vodka and rum. The brothers were happy to talk shop with a fellow dwarf spirits' crafter.
		+
		+	Cora and Davyn ran an errand to a nearby shop: Kalhoun's Rare Marvels. Kalhoun was a gnome gemworker who specialized in unusual stones and objets d'art. He flirted with Cora, and traded her the diamond she wanted.
		+
		+	Among the treasures from the Silver Feather the Breakers found the cambion's diary, which held three bloodstones. The diary was written in a language the Breakers couldn't read.
		+
		+	In the morning, Estelle arrived. She congratulated the Titan Breakers and explained that Zaya was still missing. Estelle asked Davyn to stay on as the Breakers' embedded planeswalking expert and tactical advisor. She prepared to brief the Breakers on their next mission but was interrupted by Alpine Autumn Sky.
		+
		+	Autumn Sky explained that she'd let herself be captured to meet the Breakers. She urged them to come with her to the Axis of Elusive Truths, a temple in Sigil dedicated to all Powers who deal in prophecy and divination. Another seer was waiting to meet them, to explain the larger struggle they were now part of. Estelle was unhappy with this detour, but agreed to have the cambion's diary translated and meet the Breakers at a cafe near the Axis.
		+
		+	Autumn Sky lead the Breakers across the Lower Ward, past the Great Foundry, and into the Temple District of the Lady's Ward. As they walked, she explained that the Axis of Elusive Truths was accorded neutral ground, so the Breakers would have to surrender their weapons once inside.
		+
		+	While traversing a narrow side street, the Breakers were ambushed by two well-armed mercenaries: a half-elf female archer/arcanist and a human male rogue with a mace and dagger. The rogue took down Pans and Bryn, before the Breakers killed both attackers. Bryn's death was distinctive: as the dagger pierced his body, Bryn seemed to suffer an acute pain. After the battle, Cora's magic was unable to revive him.

	The ruse was interrupted when Cora became possessed. She spoke in Orc to Brathe, a half-orc guard, and then cast a spell. A brain bug emerged from Brathe ear. A fight broke out, with Brathe siding with the Titan Breakers and more guards pouring into the shop. League forces included two saber-toothed tigers the size of dogs, and all were lead by an accomplished swordsman.		The ruse was interrupted when Cora became possessed.

		+	== Interlude: Zarus' Side Trip ==
		+
		+	Zarus accompanied Estelle. She lead the way on foot to winesink (a dirt-cheap bar) in the Lower Ward and through a portal there. Zarus found himself in a plaza in a fabulous, sprawling complex of fine art, performing arts, fine food and drink, literature, theater, and many other decadences. The architecture and decoration were varied and eclectic. All manner of beings in all manner of dress were at work, play, or movement through the complex. Estelle explained that it's the Civic Festhall, the headquarters of her faction, The Society of Sensation.
		+
		+	Estelle lead the way to an office under the sign, "Veraw Splintertooth, Factotum & Poet." Veraw proved to be an older half-orc male in silk robes. Estelle and Veraw spoke at length using terms and slang Zarus was unfamiliar with. But the gist seemed to be updating Veraw on the Titan Breakers' arrival, Zaya's disappearance, and the puzzle of how Magara of the Fated was working with squads of Harmonium city guards. Veraw brought forth many notebooks and pages of small, neat print. He pored over them, asking Estelle many questions and Zarus a few. Zarus explained what little the Titan Breakers knew about the brain bugs and Veraw seemed very interested.
		+
		+	The conversation was interrupted by a runner (a dull-looking young human male dressed in shabby clothes) who smartly delivered an oral message that the Breakers had entered the Silver Feather. Estelle thought a moment and then told Zarus, "You've given us what we need for now. Join your friends. When you're finished at the Silver Feather, Flea will lead you to a new safehouse." Flea (the boy) nimbly lead Zarus across the city through several portals and short walks, to an alley across from the Silver Feather shop. Flea explained that he'd remain out of sight, watching for the Breakers to exit.

		+	* Zarus: the half-elf with many names and quick fingers, who shall carry others' troubles, and lose his serenity in a kiss.
		+	* Salbjörg: the dwarven monk whose home burned in greed and malice, who shall fall puppet to darkness more than once, and bring gold from the ashes when the children need it most.
		+	* Eldrin: the elf warrior who grew up among books, yearning to touch the Weave, who shall perish in cold isolation yet triumph at the lintel.
		+
		+	The Breakers helped heal, feed, and clothe the freed slaves. They learned more about the slaves' treatment by the League. The heroes searched the bodies of the guards. Cora recognized a special item on the lizardfolk shaman's necklace: the bolo tie slide she'd given her father years ago. This was another breadcrumb on the trail the Breakers were following.
		+
		+	Cora, Salbjörg, and Davyn worked together to wreck the abyssal gate beyond repair. The Bountiful Lady (aka Persephone) and Luthic leant their strength to the task. Just before the gate was destroyed, it sprang open momentarily, giving the heroes a glimpse deep into the Abyss where they made eye contact with a shadowy form.
