Wind down for the evening.

FONE calls. FaceTimes. Inventory. You feel like a CEO with a sword.

You know that's an exaggeration. You enjoyed speaking with everybody, and Stax does all the actual paperwork when it comes to wealth going in and coming out of the vault. But all in all, it's a productive day. The last thing you do before eating dinner is figure out who you plan to send out in a couple days, which you do in the War Room.

Party A - Free Cities
Kyle Warren
Eva Beela
Amara Tedrilui
Niki of Clan Vakila
Nyllia Tesgella

Whether William likes it or not, you're allowed to roam the free cities, and you intend to unearth its secrets. If there's information on the third stolen key, you plan to find it. You're curious what Monarch wanted to talk to you about as well. The first stop is Tanver's Crossing. You decide it's best to bring the same party.

Party B - Silverleaf
Yaera Tedrilui
Anastasia Phairgem
Peony
Sen-nu
Mipa

Somewhere in the forest known as Silverleaf is a vault of relics that was recently raided. Yaera knows where it is, so she's the easiest choice to send. The Witch of Decay was responsible, so it's likely a good idea to send a second cleric as well. Though you rarely send Peony anywhere, she actually insisted before you entered the castle. It's either because the forest is her natural habitat, or she just really wanted to help somehow. As for Sen-nu and Mipa, both implied they were getting cabin fever in one way or another, so this should be a good outing for them.

Party C - Oraang Desert
Lynx
Mistress Dajy
Ariusia
Lalarin Relestel
Bekram Kholrann

A temple somewhere in the desert was raided, but what made the news strange for people is that none of the treasures were taken. Unbeknownst to most, one item was stolen, and while there's no need to retrieve it, you'd like to know who took it, how, and where they went. Lynx is an obvious pick. She was the one who found out the information, and that region is her homeland. To send another powerhouse with her, Mistress Dajy is willing. Ariusia has been itching for combat, and while you tried to explain there may not be any, she said it was worth the chance. Lalarin is used to fighting crime almost every day, so she's eager to get out there and stop some evil. As for Bek, he's more than happy to try out his new weapon once its cleaned up and ready.

Everybody else is to stay at Castle Phoenix. There's no telling when Xavex will attack, but surely it will come one day. It just depends on how powerful he is now, or if he'll consider himself strong enough after the next kill. The clock is ticking.

That's all a worry for not even for tomorrow, but the day after.

You eat a hearty dinner, and after your belly is full and happy, you head for the bath. It's time for a good, long rest after all that's happened.
