    * Revana, Lily Taffe
    * Sanglant, Michael Crichton
    * Ekhart, Arthur Mulligan
    * Remy, Sasha Crichton
  * they decided to head to [[wiki:npcs:beatrice_lambert|Beatrice Lambert's]] house to get new clothes tailored for them.
    * Remy decided to head to the church in town to get new priest robes.
  * Traveling a bit out of town, the party met with the tailor and had custom clothing designed for them.
    * After a few hours, with their new clothing in hand, they headed back to the town of [[wiki:places:wickon|Wickon]].

=== Afternoon, 13th Low Summer, 498 CE ===
  * When the party arrived back in Wickon, they noticed a large group of villagers gathered outside of the church.
  * After asking around, they discovered that Remy had been arrested by guards and taken to [[wiki:places:hallowfel|Hallowfel]].
    * Ekhart asked his doppel, Salad, what was happening.
    * He said that Remy would likely be put on trial, and that if they wanted to meet the Elemental of Light, they would need to play her game.
    * Apparently, [[wiki:npcs:solace|Solace]] the Queen of the Fairies and Elemental of Light, has been running the courts in Hallowfel for a long time.
  * The party also found their wanted posters, with a picture of Remy on it, except the Remy on the poster was her new disguised self.


=== Evening, 13th Low Summer, 498 CE ===
  * After a few hours of travel, the party arrived outside the tiered city of Hallowfel.
  * They discussed how they would go about it, but after some blending in, they entered the city without much fuss.
  * After looking around the city for a while, they took one of the mechanical lifts to the Uppercity.
  * Once in the Uppercity, they split up.
    * Sanglant headed to a tavern, the King's Lift Tavern, to find them rooms and get some information on the state of the city.
    * Revana and Ekhart left for the Courthouse, to see if they could find Remy and see what they can find out about the trial.
  * In the Courthouse, Revana and Ekhart met a new lawyer named [[wiki:npcs:paige_fouler|Paige Fouler]] who had been assigned to defend Remy.
    * Their immediate assessment of Paige was that she was a grossly inept lawyer, with this being her first case.
    * She is obviously being set up to fail in defending Paige.
    * Paige explained that the trial is going to be an Open Trial, which means that the decision of guilt will come down to a jury.
    * She explained that the jury is made up of members of noble families and is generally considered to be less fair than when the judges run the trials themselves.
  * Back in the Tavern, Sanglant discovered that everyone in the city finds the upcoming trial very strange.
    * Citizens seem to think this is a stunt being pushed onto the courts by the church.
    * And that Paige is doomed to fail.
  * Revana, Ekhart, and Paige returned to the King's Lift tavern and reunited with Sanglant.
    * There, Paige explained in more detail who the jurors were.
    * If they wanted an innocent verdict, convincing the jurors to find Remy not guity would be more effective than gathering evidence.
