Keepers: George (Baldwin de Lysiugnian), Christian (Asher d’Deneith), Jerome E. (Arc), Matt P (Hollywood) [He/Him], Josh (Toryn Viphonastar)(He/Him)
Objective: Investigate the origin of the orders for the train job to follow up on the hit being sent from were from the city of Wroat. Possibly hired hired by House Thuranni’s Shadow Network.

Outcome: Cleared House Thuranni from direct involvement in the Train job and stopped a undead summoning false flag event with no casualties after intercepting a dead drop.

After chasing lead leads across Sharn we headed to the town of Wroat by Lightning Rail. We also crossed paths with the Lead Attendant Bertrand, after talking through what we experienced that day he seemed in a better state and was helpful throughout the journey. Once we got settled in Wroat and found the primary operation in town for House Thuranni, which happened to be a playhouse. We managed to get tickets and likely an increased level of access to the facilities thanks to the words and connections shared by t he keeper own Hollywood. We began to notice different occurrence of locked bathroom after people had left. Through some light distraction and some illusion magic we managed to gain access to the room and find a dead drop of information and a stone onto the underside of the toilet lid. It also came with a symbol we later understood as shadow mark to indicate something to someone in the know to find supplies or direct them. We also found the same mark on the crew door to the playhouse. We caroused with the crew of the playhouse and were upfront on how they seemed to be being pointed at as a likely supect and to try and see any happenings that seemed out of place.

On the day of the show we found ourselves spead out across the crowd in preperation of something. After the first song the performance took on a darker tone. When the lead actor lifted their staff into the air in unleashed undead spirits that possessed the players and had their sights set on the crowd. Baldwin stood as a barrier between the spirits and the crowd. Hollywood attempted to target the staff if that was causing the continued possession. Arc and myself had to politely push our way to the stage following being in the middle of the back row unleashing a Turn undead and divine radiance to separate the undead entity from the humanoid unwilling host. We managed to subdue the spirits and separate them from them from the players without any wounds to them.

The stone in the staff was the same one from the dead drop which means it was planted to implicate House Thuranni as being out of control with rampant murder within their own enterprises. The next dead drop was set to arrive in the Korranberg Observer for the eagle eyed.
