The Maki Roll - Session 6

by Maki Karnos

Gods I don't even know how to relax anymore. Every moment I get to myself I spend thinking about the group and our shared predicament or their pasts. Hells I don't think I've even worked on my song in a few days now.
 
Today wasn't very eventful, sat by the lake until Lysander stopped by, met up with the girls, and didn't have anything in mind. Lysander got a pass from Paerx and we ended up going to check out those ruins again. I took a peek in Lyra's mind, to a similar displeasure, and we followed some tracks south.
 
It got dark so we camped out, talked about how Lysander and Irene have been seeing a "ghost." I, with permission for once, peeked into Lysanders mind to see what he was talking about. Definitely not a ghost. No clue what it actually is though.
 
It was a quiet night and we kept on with our search. Found some bones and Lysander said they looked like failed necromancy. Wasn't anymore tracks so we headed back to town and reported our findings.
 
It was late, we went back to their tavern, talked about nothing for a bit. Irene and Lysander seem to be getting along pretty good, at least with some alcohol. I uh, tried a bit of wine for the first time. Crazy that I spend so much time in taverns and I've never even snuck a taste before. It wasn't all that great, nowhere near as good as people make it seem. I mean I've seen people drink bottles of the stuff in one night before so it clearly had to be good. Maybe it's only good if you drink a lot? Lysander said something about drinking to forget or to feel better or something, Irene said not to do that but they both drank a lot so. Then I did something stupid. I poked into Irene's mind. Again. I guess the wine messed with her because I easily got in. With that I have a good idea about the whole group's pasts. Luckily I was able to play it off as looking to see what being drunk felt like. At least I think I did.
 
Got a letter from Paerx, looks like we're cleared. Free to leave the city. I'm gonna stay for a little while longer, at least until my room payment runs out. From there? Gods I don't know. Whatever, that's a future issue. We went to go check out this old farmstead that the spirit told Irene about. I saw that whole thing last night. Got a weird feeling about the way it insisted on bringing Lysander. I mean what the hells does "I wish to become enlightened" even mean. I don't think it's anything good, gonna try to make sure he stays safe.
