Episode 108: [Warning: We had some technical issues in this episode.] The following morning, after a breakfast in the private dining room at Duneshadow Manor. Tasha contacts Corporal Hering "Vines" Cherrier, an old traveling companion of theirs, and asks if he can join them for the assault on the Thuilnu. After Jas cleans up and dons the new clothes provided for him, Aribell, Tasha, and Jas head to General Warbenders office to request that Vines be officially attached to their team, and then it's off to the Shouting Pirate in search of Viessa. After chatting with Jojo briefly, they head down into her complex, finding her in her pub. After verifying that she has not had any memories altered, she explains the situation in Ballinamard and asks for her assistance in searching for additional Thuilnu conclaves beneath the other towns and cities in Aecathan. She also offers Jas the same opportunity his father once enjoyed while working for her. The entire group then reconvenes in the Pirate for a late lunch and to give Jas a chance to talk to Jojo about his experiences aboard a ship, something that Jas seems intrigued with. That evening, Vines arrives and is checked and briefed on the situation. Shortly thereafter, Master Obras arrives with a halfling mage he introduces as Arbogast "Bo" Claynanger, who will be accompanying the group on behalf of the Tower of Azinor. After Obras briefs the assembled on the full extent of the Noctomancy spells he has deciphered from the tomes located in the ruined Temple of Othoathok, Father Dilbiss arrives with a young half-elven woman he introduces as Sefryna von Alfthan, a cleric of Balmous, who Aribell is able to identify as a fellow member of the Aermaghian nobility, but unfortunately one from a family that is not held in much favor or esteem. Master Obras and Father Dilbiss depart, leaving the group with Mother Tassa for whatever additional information she has discovered from the various Sept Sages.
