Points

The King instructs the High Priestess to summon the council of seven

The High Priestess reaches into a pocket and pulls out a metal disc, engraved with a 7 sided star

"We must meet, urgently. By request of the King. In the chamber in 3 hours time.

The King's Plan

• As you enter the palace, you notice a stronger presence than previous. The guard has doubled, you see with every few guard patrols there is now a mage keeping a watchful eye.
• The Update
  • The High Priestess is sat, talking to the King
  • The Priestess looks like she has aged since you last saw her.
    • I was... introduced to an ally of this Sister Earth. A damn machine who referred to herself as Sister Copper.
    • She urged me to reconsider your decision. Tried to convince me you were fools and that Dannan would not be able to stop what was to come.
    • When I further refused, she simply nodded and left wishing me a good evening before pausing and muttering something about time being wasted on me and I woke up like this....
• Plan
  • Protection of his family
    • This is in hand, more guards, all vetted and with contingencies.
    • The king and family can escape at a moments notice and the High Priestess has instructions to continue leading Velandor
  • The Watchmakers
    • Need to locate their city
    • Need to locate more of their order
    • I am informed you have visited the Grand Archive to perform some research, what have you found?
      • If you wish to pursue your research into Almos further, I have heard tale of an Oracle in the Forest outside of Windminster. Several days to the East of the Capital.

As the Party leave the confines of the Palace the shadow from a nearby building seems to swell and form a humanoid looking creature, it's arm outstretched proffering an envelope

• I urge you to reconsider your decision. There will be no kindness when next we meet otherwise as the fate of everything will depend on this. Sister Earth
