Lady Belmont was approached by Dibbler, who had acquired some magical research from a mage working for Red Blade Roberts- a spell to revert away beneficial mutations in mutants, potentially as a weapon against Nyanta.
Later, the Guildhall Heroes were attacked in the Burrows by the Elven Triplets- three assassins focused on feinting and teamwork feats, but the Heroes defeated them.
Zainab approached, and said that She, Ivan, Clara, Faunra, and Variel had done some scouting and research to find another mage working for Vulmaxio and making blood magic crystals. He had gone into a portal to the fey realm in the tunnels, but a scrying sensor was there, and they decided to lay low, going instead to the heroes, who were protected by nondetection.
They went into the feyrealm and met Lily, a pond pixie, who showed them through the maze and upgraded their equipment in exchange for a bard to study with her for 100 years. They brought male Zainab to study with her.
They followed the maze to fight the wizard, who was channeling an eidolon with the power of his blood crystals, but they managed to defeat him after a difficult battle.
Headed back to town, they were approached by Faunra and Variel, who were being possessed by Lust and Sloth, who had come to talk to the party. The talk turned out to be a ruse, and it was to keep them occupied while Clara (possessed by Envy) stole items from their rooms and put them into ring gates, the other gate being subsequently destroyed. One of the items stolen was Faunra's Harp of Souls.
The heroes freed their friends from possession, but feared that the Children of Zura wanted to meet them in order to be able to better target them with spellcasting- via having met them in person, and having stolen items or body parts (hair) from their rooms. They did note several scrying attempts against them afterwards.
They also learned that Belmont's flame might be planned to go to Red Blade Roberts, to have him replace her as Pride. Wrath, Gluttony and Greed however, who have their flames, would be unable to be replaced without recovering their flame.
While Lust was reading their mind, she learned of Vanessa, potentially the most beautiful female in the world, and implied she might go after her. Nyanta used a sending to warn her.
