The Maki Roll - Session 7

by Maki Karnos

So we went through some kind of corn maze. Lyra disappeared, we got attacked by some scarecrows, and found a magic circle. I decided I'd be better at trying to figure out the circle than going back through the maze with Lysander and Irene. After a little debate, I figured they should be fine and the circle looked safe enough so I stepped in. Turns out I was wrong. Not about the circle but about the others being fine. Took them a while but they got through and we continued into a weird tower looking thing. We went through it and met with a strange looking dude who took us to see the lady who I guess owns the tower. She told us that we met a necromancer in Stokewater before. I have wracked my brain for who the hells I've talked to in Stokewater that could be a necromancer. With the added information that all four of us have talked to this person, it narrows it down a lot. Just because there's few suspects doesn't make it any easier though. Paerx, very unlikely considering he's, I don't know, THE GUARD CAPTAIN. The creepy wizard in the magic store, I mean maybe? He's definitely fucking weird, and almost certainly trying to work well below his age range. There's the other members of the group but, with what I know about them, not fucking likely. That's pretty much it for what I can think of to fulfill the requirement of all four of us having talked to. In other news, regarding my probing of the minds, I uh, might be being held hostage? My conversation with Irene before bed leads me to believe the only reason they're keeping me around still is because they don't want what I know about them getting out. I told her that I was good at keeping their secrets, I mean I haven't told anyone's to anyone from the group let alone a complete stranger.
 
To think, I got roped into this whole crazy necromancy deal by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I figure that I either die in one of these fights, or get killed in my sleep to keep my mouth shut. I know I was looking for a group to hang out with but, all things considered, I'm pretty sure I was better off before.
 
Well, I'm stuck here for tonight anyway, I guess we'll see tomorrow if the group wants me to stick around, get lost, or take a dirt nap. What the hells am I to do.
