There was a fight between Crown and Lower House in the slums. To gather a accurate summery of events and clear up things I summoned Izereth of the Precepts and Jace of House Mossmare to explain things in the Palace.
Izereth summoned me by sending to the Precepts and as I entered Sir Pierre and Treth started shouting treason and armed ravens moved to try and block the door. Being alone and outnumbered I quickly withdrew to Eveningstar to avoid what looked like an assanation attempt.
I feel this lend some weight to Ercole's machine being real, especialy since they are trying to block the machines investigation.
Shall we give them 24 hours to straighten things out before allying with the other churches to demand a investigation?
