[EvilGinger]

Our Hero's are invited to a party to celebrate their victory in the south by none other than the Satrap of Harbour head and his senior ministers. A chance to get acquainted with the society of the Realm. What better way to get to know the people who matter and to wind down and relax after long and bloody months in the field and its endless marching and ridding?

That which occurred,

Before the party,
With little warning of the party Laura and  Anarith, cast in the role of sartorial advisor went shopping for suitable party clothes in the markets around the street of palms at the same time Bob decided that he needed to see Nellens Rache if only to see if she was all right but also in the hopes of healing some of the bad feeling which had arisen in Ifonaris before they parted. This proved to be a brave but vein action as Nellens Rache hatred had if any thing burned as hot as ever though Bob did meet and talk with her father before being sent off with a flea in his ear by her.

Mean while Laura and Anarith met Miyoxi Tiholu who was shopping for jewellery in the market for Fran to wear at the party and they had a little chat about him and Fran but could not help but notice that he wore the robes of some one of higher office in the thousand scales (Realm imperial bureaucracy) than he had previously. Eventually all returned to the Inkosintaba and to the estate they where staying at the Correlion  halls  to prepare for the party.

Here Bob had a strained conversion with Nellens  Rache's brother a merchant in the city regarding the possibility of marriage and generally on improving the relations between Bob and the Nellen's Bajal family.


After that final preparations for the party went off without too much further ado

The party
Was a formal affair and rather staid as such things go and it was cut short early when Laura & a few others saw a burst of sunlight on the Roofs of Kirighast's  merchant quarter at or at least very near to the Villa of the Nellens Bajal household where Bob had been visiting earlier it was hard to tell from the point of view of the Satrap's Palace. The appearance of the Anathema caused most of the guests at the party, Dragon blooded Soldiers many of them,  to leave and prepare for an impromptu anathema hunt leaving only Pig who had been taken along as Laura's "Servant" and  a second pair eyes and ears and Fran who was stranded in the middle of a gateway game by the sudden departure of her opponent a young Capitan in the Satrap's escort to the hunt. Pig continued her duties as spy talking to & listening in on the conversations of the servants of the guests at the party and Fran decided to sample a significant portion of the fine wines and spirits on offer and was taken back to her apartment in the Corellian halls very drunk by one of Miyoxi Tiholu's servants

The Anathema hunt

By the time any of the would be hunters had readied themselves the Anathema's Anima flare had faded and it needed to be searched for in the dark streets of Kirighast  operating as small teams the hunters quartered the area where the flare had happened and not finding any thing expanded the search to wider Kirighast  and the settlement along the street of Palms to wards Inkosintaba. Nothing was found until nearly dawn when a corpse slain by a single unmarked common hunting arrow was found in the street which was identified as quickly Denal Kyre and assumed  to be the Anathema.
