E24 - Deception at South Harbor

General Summary

After a restful night in Seaquen for everyone but Winry, the Protectors of the Pass enjoyed some coffee while standing in line to meet with the local magistrate. However, their intention to look into a case of arson was quickly derailed when a mind-controlled young man named Grayson approached them. He told the Protectors that a short blonde woman named Jess was looking for them. After Jack broke the control on his mind, Grayson agreed to take them to her.
Making their way into the tent city of South Harbor, the Protectors were led to the house of the Rutland family. Knocking on the door, they were greeted by Jess, who insisted they come inside. Locking the door behind her, Jess removed a Hat of Disguise, revealing she was actually another powerful devil sent by Inquisitor Guthwolf, the same Ragesian Inquisitor who sent the bearded devil after the party in the Innenotdar Fire Forest. Demanding Funzbar's Box Of Intel, she dove into battle, slashing away at the party.
Moments later, Myetharia and Winry were unconscious, Jack was nearly down, and Rayland's daggers couldn't penetrate the devil's plate armor. While Bryn struggled to keep everyone on their feet, it seemed the battle was soon to go to the devil. But a knock on the door revealed a relieving sight. Grayson had alerted the guards, and responding quickly were several powerful mages from The Lyceum. Seeing the tide was turning, the devil donned her disguise and fled.
Battle coming to a close, the faculty members insisted that the party meet with Simeon, the headmaster, immediately. Still very injured, the party made their way to the Lyceum, hoping to learn from the headmaster what the next step in their journey would be.
