A Crimson Aerie 8

The group investigates the university, which leads them to a few dead ends and a very awkward situation in a coffee shop with a pair of students, before finding themselves at a large frat party thanks to Damien's influence as the Pope of Zepherin. The crew keeps a watchful eye out, but after a while of nothing, they decide to have a drink (or nine) and enjoy themselves after the long few days they've had. Wisteria, noticing Floki and Anemone are no longer with her, wanders out into the night where she's jumped by a group of Bloodhawks. Using a zone of silence a surprise grapple, they disable her ability to cast and open a portal to an underground laboratory. She's then hooked into a machine and forced to cast magic. The machine, which is really just pots clasped over her hands and feet filled with some unknown silver fluid, burns when she casts. At the moment, it's unknown what this fluid is.
