====== The left hand path ======
===== Initial Brief =====

A plan is put in place to assassinate the Leader incarnate as the city of Serradis is swept up in the carnival of masques.

===== PCs =====

===== Summary =====

The party first head to Serradis aboard one of the boats belonging to the southern islanders swinging far out into the deep flux in order to avoid any Serradic patrols.  

=====Debrief======

As the flare from the teleportation settles the party find themselves in a dark cavern surrounded by shadowy figures who quickly move in converging on Faria Carver and the small child. Jimmy and the others quickly shout the civil service welcoming committee down explaining that the leader is no longer within the child an exercise which is helped by several members of the civil service confirming that no God appears to be present. 

After this Jimmy and Penelope set about making the dying Vincent as comfortable as possible. This doesn't stop Jimmy pocketing as many Tender blood soaked bandages as possible or Penelope using a traitor infused miracle to pocket the heart of Arcus Blackthorn before anyone else notices however. Vincent is quickly transported back to his church and dies surrounded by his congregation merging with the being who is the Tender. His Body is buried in the Garden surrounding his church and from the patch of ground grows a clump of rose bushes with blood red flowers. A rumour spreads through the city that the petals taste of blood and salt and that consuming one and spilling blood upon the ground allows one to commune with the tender herself. This remains mere curiosity however as a squad of Church Militant is assigned to stop the resting place being desecrated. 

The funeral itself is attended by all the notables of the city. Penelope declares a day of mourning on the day and preaches to her congregation about how Vincent's last days, 

//"We all have to make hard choices.  Some of those choices are harder to make than others; some of those choices have serious consequences.  Vincent Cargan was a man who faced the hardest choice: to lose his life but to save so many more.  Vincent made that hardest choice: respect that, and remember his name."//

Penelope and Jimmy agree to take the girl to the Tender church to recover once she is better Jimmy arranges for a new life for her in Strasbourg where he hopes her infamy as the leader will not follow her promising that she and her family can stay as long as they want. A promise which Penelope feels the need to check with cease your deceptions. 

In the council Jimmy is able to use his mayoral powers to get through an interim peace treaty with Serradis and some diplomats are quickly dispatched to arrange things. Fortunately it seems that the majority of the serradic pantheon were convinced of the benefits of peace at their summit and the diplomats are if not warmly received cautiously excepted.
