 We wake up the prisoner and learn his name is [[Dale]].  He informs us that he's a simple town guard for [[Bassari]].  We decide he's withholding information from us and we press him.  He informs us that a boat was bringing in [[primal obsidian]].  He says it's a special kind of boat, an underwater boat.
-We recruit [[Dale]] to help continue the enterprises in [[Valcastle]].  [[Orion]] fakes putting a mark on [[Dale]] to track him and force him to go to [[Valcastle]].  [[Dale]] also says that the [[Upstanding Gentlemen]] are going to raid the music festival where it's suspected that a lot of the [[Docksiders Gang]] members will be.  We chartered a caravan so [[Dale]] can have a safe trip to [[Valcastle]].
+We recruit [[Dale]] to help continue the enterprises in [[Valcastle]].  [[Orion]] fakes putting a mark on [[Dale]] to track him and force him to go to [[Valcastle]].  [[Dale]] also says that the [[Upstanding Gentlemen]] are going to raid the music festival where it's suspected that a lot of the [[Docksiders Gang]] members will be.  We chartered a caravan so [[Dale]] can have a safe trip to [[Valcastle]].  He informs us of a few [[Upstanding Gentlemen]].  [[Lieutenant Strohl]] organized the volunteer gang members.
+We head back into [[Bassari]].  The line to enter the city is much longer than when we first entered it 24 hours ago.  We spy a half-orc named [[Boss]] who headed up the caravan we initially all met on. We give [[Boss]] a favor to take [[Dale]] to [[Valcastle]].
+As we re-enter the city and head to the upper district, we see some 3rd hand images of our visages on bounty posters.  It lists several of our crimes.  We take a few as keepsakes.  The posters bear the seal of the Governor of [[Bassari]].  We decide to sneak further into the city via the harbor instead of through the city streets.  It is quite easy.  We walk up to a ship drydock.  No one is working, but there are musicians and street performers all warming up for the [[Festival of Sheylin]].  There is also some good smelling street/festival food.  There are town criers shouting out for people to buy wares and events and so on.  We see a few people taking a step back from us as we walk through.  There are also no guards or [[Docksiders Gang]] selling anything.  The party splits, some are going to the music paradate.  [[Orion]] and [[Taron]] look for [[Lieutenant Strohl]].  They notice there are guards in the Upper District of the city.
+Back to the party in the paradate.  The musicians see [Osol] who is there to start the parade.  He starts with an intermediately difficult song titled "[[Hym of the Radiant]]".  It talks of 7 knights who were blessed to transform into dragons.  [[Orion]] and [[Zara]] recognize the song as vaguely something the leader of the [[Citrine Academy]] would sing to transform into his [[Aspect]].  We also posit that the song may be related to the temple we discovered and found the black scale at.
+As the crowd disperses and musicians fall from the parade, as per the competition, and the last songs start playing, a guard shows up and declares that the remaining crowd/parade is disturbing the peace and that everyone there is under arrest.
+There is a fight and we capture/kill the guards that come to arrest us. We save a few folks and [[Osol]].
+[[Zara]] continues playing during the whole process and wins the music festival.  Congratulations!

+We follow [[Osol]] back to the [[Church of the Radiant Prism]] into a private office for discussions.  There are some scrolls and diaries in the office.  [[Osol]] informs us that there is a possible secret prison.  He further informs us that [[Lieutenant Strohl]] has an office at "[[The Armory]]" if we wish to see him.
+The party splits up to investigate the information we've gained.  [[Lawrence]], [[Sees-Nails]], [[Orion]] stealth in to the upper district.  [[Del]], [[Taron]], [[Thalacos]] put on disguises.  The disguises get the party up to the wall separating the upper district from the lower district, where two women stop them.  [[Orion]] gets captured by the guards, but for a fat bribe, they'll let him go.  He pays, but [[Sees-Nails]] gets/will get the gold back.
+The upper district is vastly different than the lower district.  There are [[primal obsidian]] tracks that run through the streets.  Trollies are pulled by weird [[primal obsidian]] arms, dragging the trolley smoothly behind them.
+We board a trolley, our object is to head to the Governor's mansion.  We get off at the the appropriate stop, right in front of his house.  There are steps that light up as we appraoch.  A goblin exits the house.  [[Orion]] pulls out a wanted poster and shows it to the house manager, [[May]].  [[May]] leads us to a waiting room.  Two minutes later a maid [[Salane]] appears to make sure we are comfortable and pour some alcohol.  A while later,  governor [[Sud]] appears and explains his position.
