Session 11- "The Diffrence between Demons and Devils" Report

General Summary

You started this session walking into the old farmhouse of what used to be well a farm and is now a refugee camp. You saw 3 merchants selling thier goods. One was selling holy symbols. Lily had a pulling sensation in her chest that led her to touch one of the amulets. You rolled well and learned that its the holy symbol for a diety. The symbol was a spiral. The diety you learn's name is Aello and a religion check determines thats the name the air people know the goddess of air and wind as. A celestial light bursts out of lily as she touches it but the shop keeper asked for payment regardless, claiming that capitalism hasnt stopped just because the world is messed up. Agna ( i cant remember if you bought it or not) admired a holy symbol that looked like a flame. This is the symbol for Nixie. The fire goddess. A lady comes over where she was reading to some children with a bracelet in her hand thinking that Lily had lost control of her powers. You learn that she is a teacher, possibly the last one around and has a knack for teaching special children with great powers. She mentions she used to be part of The academy before the hunters took over. She speaks the hunters name with dislain. Asking questions about the quality of care in Lily's life, she leads you over to some other children. 2 man are standing next to a wall putting something up. A child called Willow, walks over to Lily excited to have a new playmate and gives her a hug. A bright celestial light seems to glow between them and they both look exhausted after that. They take a point of exhaustion as well as one of thier highest spell slots away. As though they tried to do something that they were not ready for. You ask the Teacher, a lady named Alice about her teaching methods and security in the camp. Security is not tight but she points you in the direction of a Paladin standing guard on a small tower in the north west part of the camp. The paladin seems slightly better than the other one you saw here and seems to be in charge. He answers any questions about security and the place, realising that there is not much. You give away the information that you are connected to the Spikey rose. He seemed to think that was intresting. After revealing that the guards on the gate did not do much patting down, he gave them a shouting at that nearly made them wet themselves. I made a consitution saving throw in secret for this. They did not wet themselves, but it was close. He has a loud booming voice and claimed to be part of the order of Victor, the god of victories, First class, whatever that means. He said he likes a good fight to slay those who should be slain and is sworn to protect the area and the people within it. In the night, the people gathered around fires. A few of you decided to sleep in an leftover tent in the corner of the camp and despite the rowdyness of the campfire people, you had a decent, but rather cramped night's sleep. Farriage slept in the carriage cradling your Blue dragon egg. Agna stayed in the middle of the map and created a wonderful spell, the name of it eludes me.. that regenerated the land, much needed at the moment and would create good crops for the next year. Piety points galore for multiple dieties there!.   Lily slept with the other children in a room designed for them, in the farmhouse. You wake her and the teacher off to bid your goodbyes. She seems happy here but very sad to see you go. She gives you all a hug. You talk to the teacher, who's name i keep forgetting, Alice, who was very tired, didnt particularly want to talk but did anyway. She gave her reassurances that Lily will be very well looked after and can communicate with you whenever she likes.   Heading off early in the morning, you continue untill you come to a crossroads. Not the city, a crossroads. You can see the city in the distance here. The place seems to be filled with necrotic energy and you see a shadow demon and 2 of its minions. You.. deal with them steadily, leaving claw marks and patterns of fighting. They dissapate onto the ground, shadowy figures. From the distance of the direction that the crossroads is in, you see a figure. It is your old friend Tempest. Ralia recognises her auntie tempest, who seems a bit diffrent to how you saw her last. After some intreguing dialogue and a couple of deception/insight checks.. Tempest inquires about some holy atifacts that you have all been gathering, as well as the blue egg. She leaves with Agna's book containing a dagger and words in Abyssal, which she now suddenly seems to understand. She comments that the words are a warning. She also leaves with the blue dragon egg and a binding pact to take it to the Forest of Lore untill Farriage gets there. Tempest tries to teleport out for dramatic effect but teleportation spells do not currently works, so storms off instead, heading in the direction you came from. You leave the session with the strange feeling that you probably should have made more insight checks. Hmm.. ;)
