Revelations, Part 1

Nighttime Rain

Adeena tries to investigate the letter to find out the location of the supposed meeting. Adeena put the paper against the light of a campfire. A heavy downpour ruptures and dissolves the letter, and Adeena barely has enough time to remember the sketched location. Adeena only knows that it must be on the eastern side of Midkip, probably within Duospathia or Ankyra.
Adeena and Adikia discusses their plan tomorrow: go to Duospathia and retrace Adeena’s steps when she was captured by Kayriel.
Kiris asks Theobald to teach him how to pray. Theobald guides Kiris, and the latter feels comfort from the activity.
Noah goes to the armory to restock arrows. She sees a line of Wycroft Gladiators claiming supplies from the armorer. Noah falls in line, but as she nears her turn, the armorer announces that the armory is depleted of ammunition and supplies.
Kiris, Thoradin and Splix notices that Arc has gone missing. Thoradin asks a guard to report to him once they see Arc.
Kiris asks Splix what he is doing with the Emerald of Protection. Splix theorizes that the Emerald of Protection Gem and the Ymerald Staff must have come from the same source.
The party takes a long rest.

The party wakes up. Splix is already gone, leaving a note that he is helping imbue the Bloated Dragon with the Emerald of Protection Gem. Arc has not returned.
Adikia casts Legend Lore on Kiris’s Acquermann sigil. Adikia sees the sigil being passed down through the Acquermann lineage. The last image she sees is the furthest from present time, where a sun-like entity hands the sigil. She hears a voice:

“He who bears the sigil of Acquermann must travel the darkened path to serve the light.”

By Noah’s request, the party goes to buy some ammunition, armor and other exploration supplies in Duospathia.
Adeena divides the 5000 gp reward they received from Gandour last week. She keeps the gold of Arc and Splix for the meantime.
Theobald buys a scrying orb worth 1000 gp.

Adeena and Thoradin scope out the location where Adeena was last abducted. Other members of the party rest in an opening tavern.
Adeena finds a member of the Order of Yekora who was in the arena when Kayriel died. Adeena and Thoradin inform the party, and they decide to stalk the man.
Noah follows the man in a stealthy manner. Noah loses the man near a stone bridge over a river tributary. Noah investigates the riverbank and finds a 4-foot high cave opening.
The party travels to the area above the opening. Adikia casts Arcane Eye to scope out the cave opening. The cave opening leads to a waterlogged chamber which harbors a hideout.
