Mission
Fulfil the geas acquired previously to deliver a poetic message to Belial.

Not wanting to go to hell and die, we did some research, consulted allies, side tasks, came up with a cunning plan.

We sought info from Haagenti who turned out to be Ipos (Prince of Fools) in disguise who fed us 'helpful' information that served his purposes. Valefor, Duke of Thieves, Raum, Earl of Theft and Destruction, and Malthus, Earl of Death and Havoc also colluded.

Raided a temple to Crocell, Duke of the Bath, in Sanctuary to steal a powerful sword dedicated to Crocell.

Attacked by Midheim Michaelines who were tracking the sword, killed some of them.

Snuck into the basement of a Urielite chapter house in southern Elfenburg under cover of a demon worshipper attack. In a special place connected to Heaven and Hell, we summoned Belial, lured/taunted him into the area he was weak, restrained him, read him the poetry and cut off one of his wings with Crocell's sword.

Urielites arrived, sneaking not an option, we chose not to fight our way out and explained about the geas and that is was all about humbling Belial.

They tried and convicted party, negotiated a deal, nobody happy, bad blood all round. Party titles not recognised by Western Kingdom, marked as sinners by the church, required to make recompense to the united church.

Hawking

With the amount of crabbing and mantling occurring in the Court of Love, and the excellent hunting available there, we have long kept a Falcon Peregrine there. However, he has recently slipped his jesses, and we think he is intermewing. Further investigation resulted in the Peregrine tiring of our Creanse, and we have found his discarded pelf. We placed a lure near his hack, to slip him some rangle, but caught a passing Sacre instead. As we can no longer call him to the glove, we fear he may be about to un-hood the other hawks, or at least the sharp set. He is close to becoming a Blue Hawk, and these events may be his principal imping.

You are neither hawk nor buzzard, but it is said that a flock of ravens can bring down even a Gerfalcon. Ideally, we would just replace the bewits and leash more firmly, but needs must, so take him to the coast and put him on a fast packet - but allow no mutings to affix to my name.

You will recognise the Peregrine by his bright orange clap.

A secret message to Aryan from Destiny, interpreted as instruction to discretely abduct Richard of Foxcourt from the court of Bowcourt and put him on a ship to Destiny. Which we did.
