Arc 7 - Unwanted Guests (Unearthly Tether)

They have some trouble with Gell's borders and Jimi is blackmailed into entering a tournament to kill a person called Barag the Carver. The rest of the gang (sans Adora) do research into Imatulus and what gifts they would need to bring him.

They enter the tournament with two pairs; Jimi with Korrig and Snelm with Yash, and put on a good showing. After both of the teams are knocked out, their target reveals himself to be a Doppelganger and goes berserk, starting a fight with everyone in the near vicinity and summoning in additional creatures of the Painted God to help. After some civilian casualties, the party dispatches him.

They make allies of the tournament contestants and Yash is waylaid by a doppelganger posing as Korrig before they head to meet with their benefactor, the Broker's employer, to complete their job and be taken to Nulinvermark.
