Overarching sequence of events (hopefully):

• Basement crawl
• Confrontation with Zilard
  • Hopefully some downtime afterwards where they can follow Juan around and try figure out what's going on.
• Poisoning
• Vessaia attack
• Peneli Navara either escapes or is taken in for questioning.
  • Have her try escaping with her brother's corpse - but squander her chance in order to save the children? i.e. she “makes the right choice” by sacrificing her chance to escape 

Additional Items:

• Brigandine is world equivalent of Splint armor? (Brigandine curaiss, pauldrons, and tassets? (brigandine tassets may look stupid?); metal plates for the rest usually. Wore gambeson beneath?
• PLANTED BOOK: Cabal plants a book that fabricates connection between Navara family and Vessaia. Makes it look like Navara family is in league with the rebels to usurp Ravanelli's rule.
  • Describes planned attack on eve of auction?
• Book that contains fables and stories on different sea creatures. In Navara's study along with her notes on sea creature experiment. She's used it as reference to try find out where the sea creatures are coming from.
  • Over a hundred page markers.
  • Notes on mega-kraken: The book mentions fables and stories surrounding very powerful monsters that are rumored to “slumber in the depths of the ocean”. He who whispers from the deep, The Ocean's Nightmare, The Everhunger, The First Hydra, and more. Numerous fables and tales from seamen regarding those. Basically what we would consider sailor's superstitions, except this is a fantasy world where a lot of them are probably based on something true-ish.
• Notes on rebellion rumors?
• Navara's Experimental Healing Potion:
  • DC14 Con save. On fail, take 5d4 acid damage (half on success). If you're still above 0 HP, immediately heal for 3d4. You also heal for 3d4 at the start of your next 2 turns, so long as you are above 0 HP.

Current books etc:

• Navara's Research notes on Troll Blood
• Navara's Research Notes on Sea Creature (that she experimented on)

• Navara Family's Documents on the other houses (needs content)
  • In short: Every house seem to constantly be gathering information on each other to find out if anyone's trying to one-up/usurp the other.
  • A lot of the notes has to do with under-the-table deals between houses.
  • Many of the newer notes are in regards to houses funneling huge resources on security in secret - like trying to buy support/bribe, or hire mercenaries that seem to be placed out of sight.
