We are aware of a supposed meeting of the cult of Nyarlathotep in three days
at night. Hugh Lam wants us to capture a sojourner there alive.
Two pieces of mail:
First, a request to convene the council
Second, a request from Sir Brightstone, a paladin of Torag, requests a
meeting with Sheila G.
Decide to search for the Church of the Eternal Bloom, of Milani (Milanites)
Head to lower level of city. Learn of a benefit being put on by members of
the Church for the families of the suicides. Contact learned of this
from the Commodities Exchange.
Head to Commodities Exchange. Plenty of goods, guards, and golems moving
things. We manage to get a few names out of someone: Mr. Walini, an
import merchant; and Smelk, a community preacher or something. We know
where Walini’s office is.
We detour to Sheila G.’s church. Nobody really knows anything about
Milani or the Church of the Eternal Bloom that we don’t already.
We head to Mr. Walini’s office, inquiring about the benefit. His clerk
let’s us in.
Walini has a small brass trinket with the holy symbol of Milani on it,
which he tries to hide from us, but discloses with minimal
resistance.
Walini insists there is no problem with Milani, that they are a
peaceful and good deity, and that they are certainly not
associated with suicide.
We get directed to the Green Bottle Inn as a potential place where
Smelk may be.
We head to the Green Bottle Inn
Bunch of folks dressed in green. While not members of the Greenlees,
their dress indicates the support the old criminal family, and
follow that lifestyle. They’re dress-me-up criminals.
Gavin shoots up the place, causing a big ruckus, and
getting us in trouble with the gangs
We end up confronted by the gang leader, who offers to help us if we
never interfere with their business or turf again. Sheila G
completely misinterprets the offer, offends the gang, and we lose
that offer.
We head back to the upper level, and meet with the creepy old guy
He offers to try and find Smelk, but asks for time.
Also offers us another super potion thing, and Twistfuck gives him
1050gp to make it
Gavin and I head home. The rest of the group hit up a bar and tried to get
more information, but just got drunk.
Once we get back to the hotel, the paladin of Torag, Sir Brightstone, was
waiting for us.
In conversation with him, he asks why, once we scryed on him, we didn’t
teleport to my brother. This stunned the group.
Next day, we head to the church of Torag, and attempt to Scry on my brother
again.
The Scrying attempt fails, so we decide to teleport to my brother’s last
known location
We show up in a room with a bunch of people with their arms and legs cut
off, who have also been blinded. Evidently these are “Joyful Things”,
from the Zon-Kuthon church.

NPCs and Notable Characters
Hugo Lam, a random person that caught Sheila G.’s attention. Definitely not
shady. Had champagne.
Other Notes
James’ new character is Edgar, an investigator assigned to us by the courts to
help hunt down the cults.
We were given evidence of a fight between fights. One of them may be a cult of
Vildeis, the other was Cthulu
