Spy Master: Marcus

LoreKeeper: Peter

* We tell lady Cordel, the archfey, that we plan to head back out to rescue Guy. She thinks that this is a reckless mission when we are already preparing for the attack on Ipres. We say we will at the very least burn it down and stop the operation there.
* She introduces some fresh recruits: (Athena) Bee, (Caleb)Ari, and (Peter)Koilos.
* We ask Margaux the Scion to join our mission. She is greatly unhappy about this but agrees. She psychically links all of us so we don’t have to speak aloud.
* Athena rolls the very first 6 in the engagement roll!!!
* We make our way towards the hut, it is more guarded this time. Encountered the tracks of seven crows.
* THEY WERE IN THE TREES
* Thomas falls unconscious and asks death two questions, he says that his sons are alive and that one of them is running away from Deathriders of Firmin, one is wandering in the far off DarkWoods, 
* We are getting really fucked up. Koilos paralyzes the majority of the crows and the Spitter for three turns by asking her patron for help. (going to have to pay for that later lol). We are able to come back and finish off all the creatures but one crow. We are also able to kill the Alchemist before he is able to run away.
* We go into the hut and find it trashed. We break through the locked door to the basement and find what appears to be where the Alchemist was performing his experiments, trying to improve upon the abominations of  Amis. We unlock a door down there and find two people chained up in what is like a dungeon.
** Guy, unconscious and with needles lying around him. We grabbed the needles to figure out what happened to him.
** Claudia, a vampire lady who was in much worse shape than Guy. We feed her rats to quell her thirst. She tells us the code to the nearby room with supplies and we all gather up what we can before leaving, and burn the hut behind us. Unfortunately all of the research notes were already burned when we got there. She stays with us in the Brigade and we introduce her to the archfey Zetian.
* Ari’s arms are covered with eye tattoos.
