Session 16: The interconnected part of being alone

The party exit the Soulforge and catch their breaths. Above them the sky cracks open and through the rift comes an ancient red dragon which circles down and lands in the soulforge. The party run to Lumerics. Rakish is seemingly out cold and Alkaline wants some answers from a gobsmacked Naved with none to give. As things come to a head Alkaline head outside. Here she meets Malos Malferent, also known as The Warden or Deni. The warden explains some things regarding Pneuma and tells Alkaline to go easy on Naved. The Warden steps away and Naved comes out and the two join the rest of the party inside where they discuss what to do going forward. They listen to the Pneuma on Tapes series and gain some knowledge regarding this mystical power. They want to wake Rakish for more answers, but figure out that the manacles are keeping them supressed. Alkaline can fix this tomorrow with an identify spell, so in the meantime they keep watch, read some Malos notes, Teel works on his Adjective-Object grammar structure and Triandra tries to see inwards. When night falls, The party goes to sleep and Teel keeps watch. Naved has an enlightening conversation with Malos, The Warden, Deni on the Reunian beaches while drinking coconut juice. The Warden reveals some things about Pneuma, some things about why Naved needed to inject the essence and that Malos being too involved could be dangerous. He also admits to fucking up Naveds attempt to steal the watch to get them fired so they would end up in the sootworks… Woopsie
