As the sun falls and the others rise I inform them of the encounter with Janus and what we discovered about the "forest" spirit in Mexico. Ohm decides this is probably the best time to go and have a talk with Dante about his intelligence gathering on us so he and Thomas head over to Dante's Inferno to have a chat. I decide it would be best if I skipped out on that. That place tends to creep me out a little and I'm not the best diplomat when it comes to vampires like him. Instead I'll go to the palace and get a head start on the research.
I listened in why the others talked with Dante. They informed him that the Lady Abigail has requested he stop asking questions about us. He accepted, some kinda of vampire court protocol or something. He mentioned that Janus had already been seeking information on us and about who killed the lady of amber sorrows. Dante said he didn't know who killed her and was trying to find out. He says that information would be a worth a lot to many. Thomas asks about the method of the lady's death and whether it can be reversed. Dante says he could think of only one person who would do such an act, that would be our friend Donovan. As they leave we have a small but heated argument with Thomas. We are concerned he is going to pursue the resurrection of his lady and make contact with Donovan which scares us. It's only been a short time since her death and he is still in mourning so we leave it alone for now.
I spend the rest of the night researching the spirit known as Ezukamada. Not a whole lot to be found about it. It is an ancient spirit from the Aztec empire. It is quite powerful and it likes to take people over. Ohm joins me as the sun rises and we start researching an alternate route. Looking for a spirit of lore that might be able to tell us about the forest spirit. We do find mention of an Aztecian spirit of lore known as Teo ???. We now need to find the ritual used to summon him. We find nothing in the library and go talk with the shaman back at the bar. He knows a little about the ritual but not the specifics for this spirit. He suggests we should talk with someone of Aztec blood. I put out an inquiry to the Free Council mailing list while Ohm contacts the Arrow. Ohm shortly gets word that there is a research team currently looking for Aztec artifacts in the south of Mexico. He gets the name of the Arrow who is providing security for them and the coordinates of their last known camp. We all prepare for going to play in the jungle.

I am deeply concerned for Thomas. He seems to think he can bring his lady back. Even though he knows the only person who can do it is Donovan. The fact he is even giving this any thought scares me. I knew the death of his lady was going to finally push him in one of two directions but I had really hoped that it wasn't going to be the direction of madness. The pain is still fresh so I will leave him be for now but I will be watching him like a hawk. Donovan would take him in an instant and use him to strike at the rest of us.
