Post Facto

Initial Brief

Those in the know in the actual Postal Corps may be aware that the Postmaster has recently been conducting a very private and very quiet audit. Those trusted by Samuel Skye or the Marian wing of the Leader Church may be aware that the process of purging the Postal Corps of the Traitor’s corruption has begun.

In the shadows cast by the hurried ferrying of deliveries, the “Postal Corps” is making its own plans. Unaware of any threat to its existence, the Church of the Traitor has been given a very important task to perform - a purge of its own, if you will - before the city is transported to the new world.

The Postal Corps is holding a ball to celebrate the work of the city before its fate will be decided one way or another in the coming weeks. High profile guests are expected to attend, including both the Lord Protector Graves and the Duchess Darrish. Assistance in securing the event from the growing existential threats to reality is sought from qualified individuals.

An attack by Cole and a Lich puts things on alert, and Tabitha absorbs the power of the Lich Staff that finds its way to the ball. Samuel Skye arranges to disguise himself as Corlo to prevent the assassination, but Clem and Thorn find out about this and realise they can't kill Corlo.

While everyone is working out what to do, Simon the Repentant, disguised as a servant, strikes Ghita Darrish. He cackles and tries to flee but is struck down by guards and the party alike. In the aftermath of the attack… tbc
