Session 54

Ava went to get set up for the second days demonstration of magic. Siegbert and Kaspar met up and went to the nearby seating area for those more well off. They got in, having known Dieter, and joined Siegward in the stands as he was in charge of bodyguarding Kirsten and the girls. Scanning the area they spot a number of familiar faces including Gotthard Witgenstein sitting with a woman. The performace displayed by the collage of Magic cause ooo's and aah's from the crowed, Ava performed particularly well. Marianne gave Ava some glances, unable to deny she was conjouring spectacular images but at the same time disproving of Ava kissing up to certain people with her illusions as Ava displayed Albrecht Helseher's victory over the Norse in Norland via spectacular lights. The group in the stands tried to see if they could spot Josef Sparsam in the crowed but it was too dense and dark to see much. Eventually Kaspar and Siegbert elected to go tothe palace and confront Sparsam. They briefly introduced themselves to Wittgenstein before leaving but he seemed disinterested in them. Heading to the palace they ran into some more people who were missing children and one mentioned that the parade ended near the The Geldmund-Kaufseit-Brotkopfs District, the same district a number of Wittgenstein's warehouses were.

Doubling back they made their way there to find that one of the warehouses that Siegbert and Herbert had visited now had a large number of guards. Attempting to get close they were spotted and warned to leave the area. They did so but found the guard in question wasn't letting them leave easily, making sure they were truly gone. They waited around a corner and as he crossed by Kaspar launched a stone and hit him squarely in the face. A fight broke out where the pair soon overpowered and killed the guard. Unfortunately for them someone spotted them and let out a scream before leaving. It wasn't long before watch come looking. Siegbert played innocent and claimed the real perpetrators had run on and the were trying to help this man. The watch continued in the direction Siegbert had sent them, to the warehouse guarded by Wittgensteins men. Kaspar and Siegbert ducked into an alley to watch what would happen and found the watch conversing with the guards before several went back to the body. Thinking it was time to leave, they fled the streets via back alleys.

Siegward bid farewell to Dieter and Kirsten for the night and pleaded with them to leave the city should anything happen. Dieter refused, giving his full confidence in Siegward before the coach departed. Ava and Siegward met up after Ava spoke with Marriane about being in the front row on the final night. Her performance tonight had truly distinguished her amoung her peers. They returned promptly to the college, not wanting to get caught in the revalries and met Siegbert and Kaspar along the way. The four spent the night in Ava's room. Siegward was the first to awaken the next morning to shockingly discover Siegbert had grown a pair of wings.
