| - | An advertisement has recently appeared in the Adventurer's Guild on behalf of one Doctor Terrence Averos, who seeks a party of adventurers to retrieve a collection of 'sewer crystals' from the Acryn Sewers. Those interested should meet at the 'Averos Emporium of Alternative Medicine and Other Therapies' for more information. A payment of 40R per person is available for the successful retrieval of ten or more crystals, with an undisclosed bonus offered to those willing to take part in some unspecified 'field testing'. | + | An advertisement has recently appeared in the Adventurer's Guild on behalf of one [[resources:npc:terrence_averos | Doctor Terrence Averos]], who seeks a party of adventurers to retrieve a collection of 'sewer crystals' from the Acryn Sewers.

| A group of Wayfinders, working on behalf of the Wayfinders' Guild, encounter the party coming the other way. They are in search of a crystalline Anomaly that has been spotted stalking the sewers - it becomes clear that this is the source of the 'sewer crystals'. The situation rapidly disintegrates, since Batts and Emily both ping as Threats to the Consensus to the wayfinders. The party defeat the wayfinders, but bring them around, as some of the party are agreed with their general mission. Emily and Batts are not, and attempt to double-cross the others, but are defeated. When Emily comes around, she runs off, while Batts spends some time inside Dauntless. The party strike a deal with the wayfinders to go to the City Watch to sort out their differences, once they have been led out of the sewers (since Emily is no longer present). | A group of Wayfinders, working on behalf of the Wayfinders' Guild, encounter the party coming the other way.

| - | Emily, and soon after the rest of the party and the wayfinders, come to a large chamber, where they see the crystalline anomaly - Latissa, the Malformed - lashing out with crystal shards of itself against the sewer denizens. Nobody steals the anomaly's identity, and so the party are confused at the presence of a second being. The party engage Latissa, despite its requests for them to stay away from it, and after a while it retreats through a tunnel, smashing several pipes on its way. The wayfinders are too weak to follow the party through the hazard. The party subdue Latissa, before bringing it around to a somewhat docile state, and return to Acryn. Along the way, the party realise that they have lost 'Susan', but assume she is with the wayfinders. Emily tries another concoction, which heals her, although her eyes feel a bit weird... (Bartholomew is unimpressed on later examination of her eyes, which seem to be a little loose). | + | Emily, and soon after the rest of the party and the wayfinders, come to a large chamber, where they see the crystalline anomaly - [[resources:npc:latissa | Latissa, the Malformed]] - lashing out with crystal shards of itself against the sewer denizens.

| The party visit the Wayfinders' Guild, where they hand over 'both' anomalies. An agreement is reached that the wayfinder party will meet them at the City Watch in a few hours, so in the meantime the party return to the Emporium, for the promised free lunch and showers. They eat with various shop assistants and patrons, however Dr Averos is not present, having been arrested by the Watch over allegations of kidnap and memory wiping. Averos had been experimenting with the liquid exuded from the crystals on willing volunteers, but when they lost their memory of volunteering, one of them brought in the Watch. Nobody sends a replacement for Susan. | The party visit the Wayfinders' Guild, where they hand over 'both' anomalies.
