 ===== Debrief ===== ===== Debrief =====
 +
 +  * Lakhesis defeated, our investigators finally get a chance to quiz Vollux;
 +  * Zosime and Iri discover that an ex-Commissioner friend of Vollux made the swan... but Vollux won't reveal their identity, insisting that he promised to keep it a secret;
 +  * Vollux reiterates the choice on the table: they can interfere with his work and cause the death of their employer, or they can help him to save Spiridon at the cost of his own life;
 +  * Against Vollux'​s better judgement, Florian and Quinn Alders decide to try for a 'third way', hoping to save both of them:
 +    * Quinn Alders destabilises the tunnels to power the binding ritual;
 +    * They gain a sense of the strand of Erosion connecting Spiridon and Vollux - it's like a writhing snake, or a river that keeps changing its course incredibly fast;
 +    * Florian enters a berserker state to destroy one end of the stream, while his comrades cut the other end;
 +    * They are able to detect the Erosion stream lashing out in all directions as it runs dry;
 +    * Vollux falls exhausted, and there'​s an ominous rumble from overhead - but it seems like the ritual has worked....
 +  * The swan hisses urgently, as the tunnels Quinn Alders destabilised begin to collapse around them;
 +  * They take the getaway swan, carrying an unconscious Vollux with them.
 +
 +  * Back at the Argyris estate, Spiridon is sitting up and seems much better;
 +  * He and Egmont are hugely impressed with the investigators;​
 +  * Silas is pissed, while Coralia seems relieved;
 +  * Iri gives everyone Rod paladin feedback forms to fill in.
 +
 +  * Zosime takes the swan to the Commission;
 +  * She is unfazed to discover her father in a hot tub with another high-ranking commissioner;​
 +  * Master Commissioner Draconis is delighted with the "​bloody big duck", using it to accessorise the hot tub;
 +  * Vollux, who continues to refuse to reveal the identity of his rogue ichorwerker friend, gets Taken Away.
 +
 +  * The Forest Touched get a debrief and (in Sowe's case) a talking to from Averick;
 +  * Sowe is warned and the arm tagged. She is asked to report back if anything changes with it;
 +  * Quinn Marshton is thanked for preventing things from going too badly wrong;
 +  * Averick suggests that she speak with Marius and Heston, and to Jeremiah Stinglehelm and King Crescentius,​ about '​cures'​ for Forest touched.
 +
 +  * Doublethink goes on a date with Blimkins the butler;
 +  * It goes well;
 +  * Blimkins momentarily pings as a Shroud Paladin, just so that Doublethink can notice.
 +
 +  * Later, our heroes hear some troubling news. At about the time that the ritual went off, over forty people - most of them sick or elderly - died, including Zara, a much respected dowager of House Rom.
