A changeling from Thelanis seeking a way home

§	Interactions
011	Gristle heads to The Dribbling Mug in Callestan, where he encounters the goblin street urchin Vicky and shifter Scritch. After providing them food, Gristle asks for Chib, as to get in on the Dreamlily that the Daask were moving. Vicky points him to the nearby gargoyle Coldstone, who states the product has already been sold, but he would convey Gristle's interest to Cazha.
011	At the Glum Gryphon, Gristle returns and is coaxed back into Lark with some tatertots from Cinder's canonical chest oven. She updates the party about the Daask and Dreamlily. Jacopo suggests they murder some Daask. The rest of the party is horrified and worried about retribution from a criminal gang. Jacopo is more concerned that Gustavo might kill him if this situation is not quickly rectified.
010	The party discusses next steps with the investigation. Lark suggests disguising herself as Corwith ir'Cullen to get into The Hazal Residence. Nazari expresses discomfort with Lark's willingness to offer herself to Jessel Tarra'az, while Lark reminds Nazari of the mistakes she made at the Bloody Blade Shrine. While discussing support for this operation, Nazari and Zelandris disclose their psionic abilities. Talos and Jacopo recognize the powers as common amongst the ruling elite in the Unity of Riedra. Zelandris mentions the voice that rebuffed him when he tried to mind link with Wultram Kazkov at the Diamond Theatre.
010	Lark offers to help Jacopo investigate the Daask supply of Boromar Dreamlily. She explains her Gristle identity as a deceased Daask agent. The party questions her true age and origin. She is unsure of her actual age, but states she is from Court of Thalia in Thelanis.
009	Battle breaks out between the undead and the party alongside the King's Swords. Huddled cultists light magical candles and attempt to deliver light to braziers to drive back the undead. The party uses that light to help fight off the undead. Captain Buchanan is charmed by Vampire Mommy to cut down one of his own King's Swords. The King's Swords initially attack the cultists, but Jacopo persuades them to stop. Lark (disguised as "Vlad") helps Lan Hazal and Mikhael Fedorov. Alastair Buchanan also helps clear a path for Lan to bolster the flames from the braziers. Zelandris nearly dies from a massive, severed hand and necril worms, but is saved by Jacopo. Two cultists and two King's Swords die before the battle is over.
009	Lan Hazal implores Lark (as "Vlad") to find Jessel Tarra'az and preserve the Mabar manifest zone. Alastair Buchanan thanks the party for infiltrating the Bloody Blade Shrine and promises a good word for Pyramus. Nazari apologizes for calling in the King's Swords early, but is reassured by Captain Buchanan. Lark is arrested alongside the rest of the cultists as the party leaves.
009	Lark (as "Vlad" from the Old Country) talks with other Graywall residents in jail. She learns nobody knew of Jessel Tarra'az until that night. They are angry at Vampire Mommy for what happened at the Bloody Blade Shrine, but still trust Lan Hazal and believe the blood ritual would have revealed the truth of the terror attacks. Their opinions of Wultram Kazkov are divided: some believing he was eccentric albeit harmless whilst others believed him erratic and insane. Lark takes away that the Graywall community was not responsible for the Diamond Theatre attack. While skeptical of "Vlad", the Sharn City Watch eventually release Lark after questioning.
009	Lark meets up with the Party the following morning. She explains her suspicion that Lan Hazal is innocent and the King's Swords may have a hidden agenda. She plans to track Jessel Tarra'az under the pretext of providing sustenance. She warns Nazari to avoid Corwith ir'Cullen. The party is somewhat skeptical of Lark's supposition that the King's Swords are up to something nefarious.
008	Lark aids a cultist in killing some undead. After passing a few statues she finds Olladra and stabs it. She gets a vision of a wasteland with obsidian spires, reminiscent of a feyspire like the elvish birthplace Shae Tirias Tolai. Lark realizes the Bloody Blade Shrine might be in a Mabaran manifest zone. She drinks more blood and sees a vision of the Court of Thalia with its flowers wilting and creatures turning to dust. Nazari arrives and stops her from stabbing the statue over and over again.
008	Lan Hazal introduces Lady Jessel Tarra'az, a vampire (mommy), and requests three volunteers for blood to sustain her while she visits. Lark and Mikhael Fedorov volunteer alongside a third. Lan then asks the assembly to grieve Wultram Kazkov and asks the community to not cooperate with the Sharn City Watch.
007	Jacopo goes to the King's Swords Garrison in Upper Central, where he questioned by Constance d'Medani and Viktor d'Deneith about the Diamond Theatre terror attacks and the party's involvement thus far. Jacopo attempts to lie stating a man of "great cunningness", possibly named Castor, stole Wultram Kazkov's missing bag of holding. They see through his deception and Jacopo eventually folds. He tells them everything except for the twins' psionic abilities, that Contessina is a changeling, or that they burglarized Lan Hazal's safe at Hazal Smelting. Jacopo learns that war hero Captain Alastair Buchanan is spearheading the investigation.
007	Lark, disguised as the foreman Bargast, assists the party in successfully infiltrating The Hazal Residence in Graywall. In his apartment, they find a set up game of Conqueror, financial documents, a Blood of Vol book and a dagger that doubles as a key to a hidden trapdoor.
006	At the Glum Gryphon, Grimnir reverts Gristle to Lark by punching her in the face. He and Lark then properly introduce themselves to the rest of the party. In an alley outside the tavern, the party smashes open Lan Hazal's safe and finds only workers' wages in gold and silver and some small Dragonshards.
006	The following day, Lark heads to Morgrave University library and researches the Blood of Vol and the Bloody Blade Shrine. She doesn't find out much regarding shrines in Sharn but learns about the importance of blood in Blood of Vol rituals. She also learns that Seekers rituals manage the destructive impact of Mabar manifest zones.
006	Zelandris is questioned by Corwith ir'Cullen of the King's Swords about his absence at work, the party's activities, and his knowledge of Jacopo. Zelandris attempts to lie but is caught, and reveals some of their activities (but still hiding Lark's true nature).
005	The Party stakes out Hazal Smelting and discuss strategy. Lark reveals that she is a changeling, and transforms into a Karrnathi worker. The foreman (later known to be Bargast) lets her into the facility, but waits at the door for her return. She quickly heads upstairs and grabs a key and some documents from an office. Bargast goes in after her and she changes into him in an attempt to leave. She creates confusion amongst the workers before morphing into Gristle and scampering off.
005	Gristle returns to the Party with the key and documents from Hazal Smelting. The documents include correspondence with Kelthor d'Tharashk negotiating the purchase of Dragonshards.
004	Lark becomes worried when Pyramus doesn't return to the Glum Gryphon. She transforms into Gristle and heads to Callestan in Lower Dura, where she meets with Gristle's Daask contacts. She is unable to find out anything useful.
004	Lark questions Jacopo about his relationship to Gustavo, and why Gus is interested in the Diamond Theatre attack. Jacopo suggests Gus is interested in the greater good of Sharn.
004	Lark disguises herself as Merrix d'Cannith and travels to a Sharn City Watch garrison to gather intel. She speaks with Eskridge Callaway and discovers Pyramus killed Jonas. Pyramus informed the Watch it was due to Jonas's imminent transformation into a ghoul, but provided no further exculpatory details.
004	Back at the Glum Gryphon, Lark gets Grimnir's advice on helping Pyramus. He cautions her against a deceptive solution, given the differences between warforged and changelings.
003	The fleeing party members are chased by the Graywall militia, led by a man they would later recognize to be Mikhael Fedorov. The Party escape using feather tokens and jumping off a nearby bridge (except for Lark, who shape changes to escape). They regroup at the Glum Gryphon. The rest of the Party questions how Lark was able to get away without jumping.
003	The Party splits up for the night. Cinder and Jacopo stay at Talos's Apartment in Upper Menthis. Zelandris attempts to heal Nazari's ghoul wound at their run-down apartment. At the Glum Gryphon, Lark plays a traditional Cyran song to comfort Angelica Mediri.
002	Lark meets with the Elandrin playwright Luca and attempts to discuss her theory that the Day of Mourning disrupted Eberron's connection to Thelanis. Luca offers Lark tea and believes Lark will help her return to Thelanis. Luca becomes increasing erratic and shifts between her seasonal Elandrin forms. Luca throws her tea and gets frustrated Lark won't share her plan to return to Thelanis.
001	Gristle, a rat shifter, steals tickets to the play. He shapeshifts into Lark and discusses the play with Grimnir, another changeling. Lark is interested in the fey connection of the playwright.
001	A fight breaks out after the old man throws open a bag of undead creatures! The party dispatches the undead with the help of some audience members. Nazari tackles the crazy old man. Merrix d'Cannith notes Cinder's powers. Lark chases after Luca.
