+- We are hired to find the body of the queen's daughter.
+- We are hired mercenaries. The Slying Seskiis.
+- The daughter is an automaton.
+- The daughter died early and was replaced.
+- Daughter in Scausic.
+- They talk telepathically.
+- 600 shins if we retrieve the body.
+- Lerg is the leader of our group.
+- 1 xp each. The two of us - Tubora and Tadej.
+
+---
+
+- We are halfway through the Black Riage when the adventure begins.
+- It's early summer.
+- Mostly rocks and purple moss around us.
+- A small construct near us made out of synth. A greyish color.
+- A former camp in the synth, abandoned. One side entirely open. Items left behind, but no signs of struggle.
+- Folded and put away items: 
+  - Metal box w/ adhesion clamps.
+  - Glowglobes.
+  - Matches.
+  - Backpack:
+    - Scarf and 6 arrows.
+    - Chipped knife.
+    - Long blue coat with a tear in the arm.
+    - In pockets: a scroll tied with a black ribbon.
+- Tubora - glowglobe, she reads the scroll.
+- Tadej - matches.
+- Inside the scroll, the return of the black-bone bride. States that the bride is that of sowiks, and this group are hired to retrieve the body.
+- Potentially a mother and father both fighting to try and retrieve the daughter? No, Tubora rolls an intellect roll to see and it is just rival tasks, no relation.
+- We see flowers that are usually purple but these are white. The petals feel waxy and stiff, almost artificial.
+- Tubora's intellect check succeeds and sees that the flowers are real, just weird.
+- As she is looking at the flowers, a head begins to emerge from them. A man jumps out of the middle of the flowers.
+- He is traveling between the purple flower bases using the tendrils. The center of the flowers are buttons.
+- Travel has time between it but seems instantaneous. You have to know where you want to go, and use it only in daylight.
+- He shows us what order to press the buttons in to use it. 10 seconds to get in the center and then transport.
+- We now know the sequence to press them and travel. Just need to know the general location and description.
+
+---
+
+- Tadej uses the matches to start a fire in the shelter.
+- Tubora spots something crawling in the shelter, about the size of a football.
+- Suddenly, Logan appears in the doorway. A spider lands on his head in the doorway.
+- We fight the spiders.
+
+---
+
+- After the combat, we rest.
+- Tubora begins to input the flower sequence in the morning and we travel.
+- We arrive near the village from the portal usage.
+- The village has a smooth, gray tower in the middle, village built around it and a 1 ft. deep, 6 in wide moat filled with wire.
+- No one is around when we arrive at the village.
+- We enter the large building in the center. 50 people in mourning there.
+- The greathall has a large box containing several android heads -- 5 of them.
+- As we look around, we spot an older gentleman favoring his left foot.
+- Named Oveeryou, he says all of these faces are from her. She died. Strangers took her body from there. Wearing black robes, they left with her recently.
+- Black robed members are part of "the Convergence."
+- Body is 8 ft. tall, they dragged it out of town, leaving a trail behind to follow.
+- Oveeryou is part cyborg. Tubora offers to try and heal his leg. She was not able to find anything or improve his leg.
