Session 8 - Building Bridges and Burning Blades

(Sciatica problems, will update later.) The crew learns enough collaborated information to lead them to the Dreaming Palace and its owner, Hendrid Pratchett. Artorious spends the evening with the Phoenix Wrestling bartender. Exley spends the evening with a knife-happy friend of Cass, from the Nirvana Room. The next morning, the crew investigates the Dreaming Palace, but Pratchett is away on business. The crew attempts to set up an appointment with him, but his assistant is unsure of when he'll be returning. Abigail encourages the crew to attend the Burning Blades celebration in the Radiant Festival, only to find herself performing in it when another dervish didn't show up. She succeeds, despite the lack of training, and is gifted by Sarenrae with her scimitar glowing with inner fire.
