Calimastia met with Leon the Alabaster. They spoke in coded language about the Archmage and his obsessions. She requested a ritual, The Pavis of the Foul Presence. He said it didn’t exist, and that she’d have to wait for something later. When she returned to her room, she found a scroll, the ritual she’d asked for.
Then, she spoke with the Seneschal, Amy Yu to inquire about anything she could find on a Masquerade violator1.
Then, she got a text from Barry.
Calimastia suddenly gets a text from Barry. “Hey, gotta change my shift. One of Luke’s new business pals is in trouble. Mind patrolling around South Sac?”
On her patrol, she saw a parked car, its driver without a heartbeat. At the attached graveyard, she saw Jasper standing among the headstones. They had their introductions. Apparently he lived in the city, and he’d be in attendance at the Anziani Summit. They spoke of the deal Calimastia had brokered with the late Ernesto Giovanni2.
Their conversation was cut slightly short by a call from Fiora. The Giovanni candidate, Alonso, had been killed.
“It was Mazhar and someone else. They left his ghouls alive. They said that one of them punched a hole through Alonso’s chest as he got out of his car, at a hotel parking lot.”
