Season 3: Session 15: After The Fire Report
General Summary
Date: The Month of Intuition 22nd, 997 AC (Thursday). The party decides to group up in the Town Square to assist with Ration Dispersing in the morning. Before meeting up, a few of them indulge in potions. Thia feels very tired after drinking one, then drinks a second that empowers her against fear. She gives one of those to Grandad as well. Grandad takes one that that steals his ability to read for 2 days. Another one compells him to ask Mary Woo for permission to do things for 7 hours. Kobble goes off to Ellion's and asks about his large, glowing key. Ellion says they'll determine what it goes too, if they get whatever the key unlocks. He agrees and leaves the key with Ellion. Meet at the inn, the party is directed to stations at a long table by Naomi. Grandad runs across the Town Square to pop into the school, Mary Woo is organizing some books. He asks for permission to help with dispersing rations; much to her confusion she gives approval. While dispersing rations, the party overhears two companions discussing the capitol and the preparations the king has made for war after an artifact was stolen. After the breakfast rush the party sees a cart coming into town. Righteousness is driving it with Missy by her side. Cecil starts towards the cart and Thia turns the other way to get the Mayor. Back at the cart, the Mayor takes aside Missy to discuss recent events. The Macintosh's get down from the cart along with Doby. Grandad pops by the school to get Mary's permission to get Doby. She approves, a bit more confused. Righteousness takes the cart with Cecil to rest the horse at the Peterson's. On foot, Kobble takes the Macintosh's to the Peterson's. Grandad veers off to ask Mary permission to talk to Poppy. She approves, concerned. At the Peterson's a very clean and well dressed Isaac (and Vern) greet the Macintosh's and bring them in the home. Kobble heads back to the center of town and sees Reverend Illiad burst out of the church. He grabs Kobble and asks if he has a message to a deity, he says "Help" for Erif. The Reverend runs off. Kobble quickly gets a messge checking in and requesting the crackpot (reverend) to stop calling. Cecil takes Righteousness out on a soup date and head off to the orchard to eat. On the way there, the Reverend burst out of the church (hitting Kobble with the door) and asks Cecil for a message to a deity, he sends a message to Water but it gets delivered to Erif instead. Back on track, eating lunch, Cecil and Righteousness make a pact to work together to reclaim the castle. Thia stops by the hospital to check on Marcus who is still unconcious. On the way out, Liam Jenkins gives Thia a bag and tells her to keep his secrets. The bag has 13 good coins in it. Thia tries to talk with Grandad, so they make a detour to the school to ask Mary for permission. She asks Thia if he's okay, but says yes nontheless. They step out to continue talking and the Reverend bursts out of the church (hitting Kobble again) and grabs Grandad for a message to a diety. He sends a message to Lun, but it is delivered to Erif instead (much to his annoyance). After this disrutption, Thia and Grandad continue to talk about the portals and Advig. After a busy day, the party seperates to sleep. Righteousness goes to stay with Cecil and Thia. Date: The Month of Intuition 23rd, 997 AC (Friday). Thia drinks a potion in the morning that sprouts her a horn (will break off in 5 hours). Grandad drinks a potion infront of the others that forces him to say his darkest secret. Grandad's darkest secret is that he made a forbidden pact with a dark entity in the Shadow Realm, and it looms over him at all time. Kobble begs for some potions off Thia and gets one that leaves him mute for 3 hours and another that sprouts a horn on his head (will break off in 5 hours). Cecil buys a potion off Ellion to reveal the deepest darkest secret (costed 1p, DC 9 con save). The party goes to the church and inquires about the coin flipping action that some people of faith can do. They are trying to find out more information about why Marcus is unconcious, but they get little information. Deciding to ask the diety instead, the party heads off to the Earth shrine. The party notices a bunch of new strangers in town, all in old armor, many of the people old as well. Captain Risingsun hangs around the mountain range entrance watching the strangers go in. Going into the range the party sees Ellisar near the Earth shrine, below the portal. He's bringing in items, such as furniture and supplies and they are heading deeper into the range. Not wanting to be seen they work quickly, and Kobble splits off to see Marcus with Erif's guidance. They discover that Marcus is under a Temporal Stasis magic and can be released with a wish spell or a high enough dispell. Cecil uses dispell magic and is able to awaken Marcus - who is very delirious. He keeps asking "where he is" and swings an arm, hitting Kobble in the face. They decide to check back on him at another time. The party decides to turn to the Deck of Many things that Grandad has afterwards. Kobble pulls a card and falls, the last thing he says is "Erif." Kobble sees the inside of a building from a warped perspective, sealed somewhere unknown to him. TO BE CONTINUED...
