| - | When the party reconvenes with the Crimson Mother, Hugh renames their new merchant ship the Crimson Daughter and suggests that they use it to start a mercantile endeavour. While Marian is happy to discuss some sort of arrangement in future, the group eventually decides to sell the ship as soon as they return to Acryn. They do so, each receiving 18R. The cursed gold, they are relieved to discover, has disappeared on their return to consensus. | + | When the party reconvenes with the //Crimson Mother//, Hugh renames their new merchant ship the //Crimson Daughter// and suggests that they use it to start a mercantile endeavour.

Nonetheless, she decides to publish an account of the voyage – perhaps she’ll call it The Dog Delusion…. | + | Winder leaves the party, expressing her disappointment at the unremarkable nature of the flux around the archipelago – they were all duped.

| Next, our heroes take a trip to the offices of the Acryn and Affiliated Merchant Venturers’ Company, where they confront Belaborus Gabble. They threaten to expose him as the merchant who inadvertently created the Mara, and to turn him into the Watch for his part in sending sailors to their doom. Flustered, he tells them to wait while he finds some money in his back office. Simon, Hugh and Marian follow while Adam runs out back. Cornered, Gabble tries to escape out of the window, but is caught by Adam, who shakes him down. Sadly, he doesn’t have much money to hand; most of his cash is presumably locked away in various mercantile endeavours and… suchlike. Still, they each nab 60R before marching him to the nearest Watch House. | Next, our heroes take a trip to the offices of the Acryn and Affiliated Merchant Venturers’ Company, where they confront Belaborus Gabble.

| - | Marian, Hugh and Adam make their way to the Leader Church, where Adam is strapped to a chair and questioned while Cease Your Deceptions! is active. Marian attempts to determine whether Adam is a Traitor Priest. He explains that he is loyal to the Leader, not the Traitor, but that he’s not sure whether or not he’s a Traitor Priest – in any case, he doesn’t think the Leader’s very happy with him. He tells the story of his rather too successful infiltration of the Traitor Church, emphasising that he doesn’t think any of the Traitor Priests think he’s one of them any more. | + | Marian, Hugh and Adam make their way to the Leader Church, where Adam is strapped to a chair and questioned while //Cease Your Deceptions!// is active.

| Marian takes down a list of Traitor Priests Adam knows about. Booker is at the top of the list, followed by Simon. Armand makes a tentative appearance (on the basis of the way he talks), only to be crossed out again. Marian decides to consult a Hierarch of the Leader Church about the upsetting images Adam gets whenever he blinks. | Marian takes down a list of Traitor Priests Adam knows about.

| First, however, Adam’s going to need a new face. Marian uses her connections to find a low-ranking Terrec to do some wounding magic. They donate the money for two mana crystals, Adam paying 30R, Marian 24R. Marian suggests that Adam’s new face should be handsome. The mage ties Adam down and slices around his face in a single, swift motion. This is excruciatingly painful. The mage removes Adam’s face, reshapes it, and restores it. Adam looks in a mirror and promptly faints – he now looks like Marian’s exact male counterpart. | First, however, Adam’s going to need a new face.

| - | With the help of her valet, Wilkins, Marian convinces the family that Adam is a bastard son of one of her older relatives. Now going by the name Alexander FitzTerrec, he is given a nominal position in Marian’s household. As an extra precaution, Marian decides to check for any traitors among her current serving staff, using Cease Your Deceptions! to question them. She finds no traitors, but several of her better servants hand in their resignations as a result of this treatment. | + | With the help of her valet, Wilkins, Marian convinces the family that Adam is a bastard son of one of her older relatives.

| - | Simon decides to find Booker to ask if he’s heard of Adam. Booker finds him. Simon is alone in the house when Booker appears with a burst of candle-fire. Booker reveals that he is aware of Adam’s… odd behaviour as a Traitor Priest; he is interested to hear of Adam’s vociferous denial of the Traitor and failure to perform any Traitor miracles. Simon also informs Booker of Marian’s strong anti-Traitor sensibilities. Booker assigns Simon a priest to guide him and give instructions while providing a means for Simon to report back. And with that, Booker opens a window and just vanishes – moments before Emily returns. | + | Simon decides to find Booker to ask if he’s heard of Adam. Booker finds him.

| Hugh visits Marian to discuss their proposed joint venture. He suggests that it might be mutually profitable for Marian to pass him information about rival shipping routes. Marian promises that she will do what she can. | Hugh visits Marian to discuss their proposed joint venture.
