A collaboration with the remaining investigators procures the two pieces of paper: one clearly Fae in origin, the other which could could have been printed from anywhere. A brief investigation reveals that the typed page is a concise translation of the Fae godsmetal ritual itself.

These are unusual findings indeed, particularly since only one book on the entire continent should contain the ritual, and making a copy of its contents is considered an act of war. That book happens to be located in the heart of Seelie territory in Chicago. If you would find answers, you must investigate and determine what has happened to the tome itself.

Venturing into a Fae Court under any circumstance is a dangerous venture, and with the factions on edge diplomacy will be a matter of balancing on a razor's edge.

So many investigators have fallen already-- but duty carries you on even further.

Requirements

-Your character must go to Garfield Park Conservatory, the seat of power for the Seelie Fae in Chicago. There will no doubt be many interesting things here in the diverse magical population-- why don't you find something interesting?

-There, you must speak to one of the high-ranking members of the Court in order to find out what has happened to the Word of Atropos, which contains (or rather, contained) the godsmetal ritual. (Pro tip: it's gone, and they don't know how, and they really, really don't want to admit to losing it.)

And finally:

-You must fuck it up somehow. Shouldn't be hard, what with the state of politics these days, but you have to offer an insult or faux pas so serious that you must flee from the Court for the slightest chance at survival.

Deaths: Three ballot kills- this will be the last task with kills, and it leads to a doozy of a challenge. Five tributes will be going up for votes this round. Three will be eliminated.

Due Date: Friday, July 20 at 10 PM EST.

The Clue

The killer has not tasted of immortality.
