+#### Events

+- The Twistfuck spends a bunch of money to buy two scrolls of Sending, and reaches out to Kaldur Black to try and get information regarding the Sacco story. Kaldur tells him to come fight Calcifer.
+- The Twistfuck next gathers the materials to summon Sir Brownin. It'll happen over-night.
+- The Twistfuck next visits Auntie Pew, to ask for her help getting in contact with someone from the ~~Twilight Court~~ ~~Winter Court~~ Twilight Court. She advises asking in a dark place for an assassin or spy.
+    - The group wanders into the slums, and Twistfuck begins asking around "diplomatically" for a spy.
+- The group eventually visits Harvey, asks an inane question, and leaves. When returning to the hotel, they find Hugh Lamb at the bar, and decide to stop and speak with him.
+    - He mentions there will be a cult meeting for Nyarlothotep in 7 days.
+    - There will be several sojourners there, specifically a woman with avian-themed tattoos on her back, and he wants her captured.
+    - Suspects there may be multiple cults of Nyarlothotep, dedicated to different aspects of him, operating within the city.
+- Nataliah retires to the room, to make a potion. There, she finds Smith. He eventually wanders down to the bar.
+- At the bar, Smith sits with Sheila G and the rest of the party. Smith tells Twistfuck that he must renounce Magda, or be killed.
+- After some further discussion, it is decided that the group needs to visit Sheila G's family. Reggae Tony leaves and finds the remains of the fairy Smith killed earlier. Turns out it was Sir Brownin.
+    - We move to the temple. There's a full retinue of guards, with torches and sunrods arrayed outside. Evidently this is an odd night, and they are on alert.
+    - We enter into the temple, and visit with Sheila G's niece, Celia.
+        - Apparently, a hag/witch/oracle came and tried to steal Sacco away.
+- Twistfuck leaves to visit Auntie Pew. Nataliah stays with Sheila G's family. The rest of the party teleports to Auntie Pew's hut.
+    - The party arrives in Auntie Pew's hut. She is awake, working over a boiling cauldron.
+    - Several members of the party attempt to discern if she is lying while questioning her; she resists.
+    - Smith unloops his hammer. Sheila G demands answers for why Magda is so interested in her family. Auntie Pew responds it is not her place to tell what Twistfuck's place is, or what Magda's intentions are. Auntie Pew insists the party leaves. Party refuses.
+    - Auntie Pew moves to her table, grabs some bones, begins shaking them and muttering. Smith looks warily at Sheila G. Reggae Tony casts _Shield_ on himself.
+    - She looks down, surprised, and learns that "the answers are in this room." The party all suspects she's turning hostile towards Smith. Initiative!
+        - Sheila G tries to talk Auntie Pew down! Smith threatens action! Auntie Pew starts casting a spell! Smith smacks her! Cinders and ash begin swirling everywhere, decreasing visibility. Chuck flanks with Smith and smacks Auntie Pew's skull into a pancake.
+    - Combat over! Dan smolders! Once the ash clears, the party searches the hut.
+        - Potion making stuff, augury stuff, carved bones, decks of cards, voodoo dolls. A notebook, written on velum, bound in bark, hidden near the hearth.
+            - The notebook talks about stuff, including "the stolen plains child that belongs to the hero but not of her blood."
+    - Twistfuck arrives! Hostilities begin again! Initialive for PVP!!
+        - Sheila G reads off the last page of the journal, to try and calm down Twistfuck:
+            ```
+            And on the second night of winter's neep, #This is tonight, in-game
+            The child of the plains,
+            Taken to halls of stone by the hero not of his blood,
+            must bleed for her fate,
+            and the return of the King of Seasons
+            ```
+        - Reggae Tony casts _Hold Person_ on Twistfuck! Twistfuck resists! Smith smacks Twistfuck! Chuck delays! Twistfuck cuts Smith! Sheila G channels and heals everyone a bit.
+        - Tony tries a _Mind Wipe_ on Twistfuck! Smith smacks Twistfuck non-lethally! Chuck continues to delay! Twistfuck slices in lethally! Sheila G
