Session 5

by Nora

We're still inside the encampment and we still don't have Fainn. I tell the group we shoul stop fighting and talk our way out if this. They agree and we start barricading ourselves in the room. Jorg has no patience today and shouts to the people upstairs. We hear 'What do you want?' I say 'our friend, what do you want?' and all of a sudden I'm hit with a vision. The person I just killed... Amara and the flowers... It's horrible. I hear her voice. Upstairs. "Nora, save me". I need to go upstairs, I must save her if it's the last thing I do.
Jorg for some reason also decided he needs to go upstairs. We encounter some more guards and we intimidate most of them to let us pass.
Upstairs we finally encounter the leader of this encampent. He has Fainn. She's unconsious and he's using her as a shield. Where's Amara? She not in this room... but she must be!
I try to talk to this guy to give us Fainn, but he will not budge. Jorg loses his patience and throws a dart. This guy is getting angry. Suddenly Jorg is flying through the air, crushing the leaderguy and Fainn, draging her away and start punching him in the face. I tried to stop him, but I'm not strong enough... And then I go down. I see Amara again amidst the flowers. "You're one step closer my love, meet me in the..." and then I'm pulled back. Fainn is free. De leader is dead. They're questioning the way i'm talking. What wrong with how i'm talking, I always talk like this? Ow. That hurt. Am I lying? Oh, I'm speaking in my normal voice again. Well, I guess the cat's out of the bag now, isn't it? I'm in hiding, I say, and I'll explain later. When we're out of here.
We find the artefact the Village People wanted back. We find a map where the Violet Magistrate, Lilac Rose, Magician's Vale, Highmount Monastery and The Maridian Bay are marked. No sign of Amara anywhere. Might this have been in my head? Is she not here?
Once outside, we see the guards who ran away. But they're even more undead than they were... They're all wearing weird necklaces. We take the necklaces.
Once we're in the woods, we take a rest. We need it. Badly. Snuggles fumbles with a jug he found. It produces liquids. IP and Fainn examine the stone and the necklaces.
And then they get to me. They ask me so many questions, it's hard to keep track of what I have said and what I haven't. I tell them who I really am. Why I ran away. Why I'm hiding. Who Seraphina is. A bit about Amara. So many questions.
But now it's Jorg's go. He says he heard Snuggles' voice tell him to kill the leader guy. He says he kind of has a pact with a creature who made Snuggles. He's heard the creature since he was small, but is it a good creature? This is all too confusing for me. I must think this all over...
On our way back to Sundany, where we may have to lie about where we were. Where we will have definitly missed our deadline, but we will bring in more than enough points... Hopefully it's enough.
