The Deep End assists Serene. The Gala is vaguely Deep End themed. Multiple speeches are given and everyone had fun until Cahareth crashed the party. Valdoves reveals his associations.
The Deep End scopes out the situation. The Bhediya create a diversion as the group enters into the West Ward. The Deep End took down two black monoliths, denying Cahareth his eyes and ears... in part.
The Deep End locates Ezra and Timur upon the roof. Marcella can't get out of her office. Zephus aces subtle interrogation. The last tower is deactivated, but the mirage remains. Picking up Aerope and Idalia, the group arrives at the Temple.
Cahareth was NOT in his studio. After a quick nap, its real SUS how there's no guards. In the Palace, Cahareth takes note of Rani's arcane eye. Moira gets Feebleminded and Calibird makes a noble sacrifice. Onward to the Throne Room.
The Deep End (& friends) take down the annoyingly charismatic Cahareth, save (?) Ragnar, kill the Queen, and meet a version of the infamous Lady of Dread. What a DAY.
