Shernette had everything set out for the Grand reveal of Gervase. She used the map to see which room he and his cult used their rituals and set up a gobbet of fake blood, but made it look real. She even found a corpse of an earlier victim and arranged it like Gervase did it already.
She then got the second phase of the plan ready.
With her cloak, she snuck around and enhanced the digitalis with the raw form, and then hypnotized a waiter to serve wine with grapefruit and belladonna berries to Gervase and then erased the memory of her doing it.
Thankfully, Moran and Fred were not waiters.
'Now, let's see if William can counter this.' She thought placing a Notice Me Not charm on herself.

She watched as William and his accomplices arrived ready to make their strike, but, they were not expecting for what came next.
As the wine was passed around, Gervase looked pleased with the outcome of the party, but then.....
He began to seize up, and crumpled up to the floor.
Dying.
A panic disrupted, then someone yelled that they found something in another room.
A Black cult ritual room with a fresh corpse.
In little time, the guests left disgusted at Gervase even saying he deserved to die.
William had a straight face the whole time.
But then he smiled.
This competition of his is better than he thought.
----------------
The next day, William had Albert look into Gervase's death, and got a report.
"Apparently, we got ourselves a pathologist from France, apparently, the waiters all said they received the same kind of wine, but couldn't find the wine given to Gervase. They also did a thorough test. Whoever we're playing against wasn't fooling around. Gervase was both drugged and poisoned. We don't know which actually killed him, it could be a tie.
He possibly had overdose on the digitalis he was taking, but according to the pathologist, the grapefruit wine Gervase had also had Atropa Belladonna, otherwise known as Deadly Nightshade. It's as lethal as it gets. But the confusing part is how our opponent managed to get it." Albert informed.
"Yeah, that plant flourishes during summer, and we're in the middle of Autumn now." Moran said, even he knows that.
William stared at the paper detailing Gervase and his death.
Then at a letter he recently opened up.
'You choose the target this time. Give me a name, event, date, and I will have someone pick it up. I'll give you three days.
C.M.I.Y.C.
M.O.D '
