Session Notes
Narissa’s Dream
Narissa wakes in her family’s library. She remembered being assigned my her mother to study arcane. She instead locates books about the mechanics of ruin casting and transmutation. Her Uncle Cornelius comes in looking for uncle emit as he has a box of gears and pieces for him. Narissa volunteers to take care of the box and get it to Uncle Emmet. This man appears to have been a big source of inspiration for Narissa. She ends up making a transmutation spring trap using the books she was studying and the gears.
Her mother Acuta Shaw catches her and is angry that she has spent the last 7 hours on this and has effectively learned nothing. Acuta is about to destroy the project when Emmet arrives and intervenes awkwardly. As Narissa is about to leave with him to go finish her project and continue studying, Acuta grabs Narissa with a dark look saying “You are better than this.” Emmet reacts and places an equally threatening hand on Acuta saying “She’s better than both of us.” Acuta let’s go and Narissa goes with him. He managed to save Narissa from the situation, and pulls her over into studying/learning with him! He seems to be trying to hide what he’s teacher her how to build stuff from the rest of the family. The two go to a seperate house area where Narissa’sAunt Marina is . She presumably Uncle Emmet’s spouse. - Emmet is apparently try to build her an arcane pocket watch for her to summon. Her dream fades out, with feelings of Narissa missing her Uncle Emmet.
Verena
Her eyes burn with the intensity of light showering over her. She finds herself wearing a cocktail dress, as a maid of honor at her sister’s wedding. Alluna Harrow eyeing Verena, seemingly ready to pounce on her should she step out of bounds. Her father, looking on with pride.
Her brother, Herdo
- wishing someone demise? Some blonde who’s blood pumps poison, just waiting for Verena to fuck up, to snicker at her. Verena is given a speech for her sister, as her bridesmaid.
- she seems to be doing ok, until she makes a wisdom saving throw…
- NVM! 21, she seems to be ok, but detects something poking and prodding at her mind…
- Not the glares of those in the crowd, but, something else.
- NVM! 21, she seems to be ok, but detects something poking and prodding at her mind…
- Another wisdom saving throw, when she wished her sister happyness once more…
- 17, but that needle like feeling seems to begin taking hold, behind her right eye…
- Corvina seems to smile at this
- Priscilla gasps and points dramatically, as though playing it up somewhat Something has taken root in her mind, and is fractally growing outward…
- its unbearable. This is no saboteur or psychic lance. But something else… Like it’s always been there, but suddenly making itself known. Another wisdom saving throw, 13 (just makes the DC)
- she seems to have contracted a nose bleed Seemingly growing more sensitive to the arcane glowing lights, as she retreats from the stage after cutting her speech short.
She gains a metacontextual awareness of the fact that she’s in a dream!
- this has happened in the past, as she hears a knock at the door Her sister comes to make sure she’s ok. She ends up spotting the near blank queue cards, and gets rather upset.
- begins questioning if Verena is jealous of her or something, seeming to not understand what’s going on, finding it strange that her sister has hardly brought up the wedding at all up to this point Her sister seems to really care about her, as she seems apologetic towards Verena, as she is pushed away as she attempts to hug Verena (due to Verena’s sensory overload making the hug unbearable)
After her sister heads out, Verena has an… odd experience. For the first time in her life, she feels the arcane flowing through her.
- She still looks like a bit of a mess, but doesn’t appear like she’s going to suddenly die any longer. She collects herself, and heads back out into the party, ready to be ripped a new one…
However her dream’s vision shifts to that of a city chapel spire of sorts… (burning?)
Marinus
He’s awoken by Bloody Henry, to take his shift of watch for the night. Henry passes out basically right away. Marinus checks up on the prisoner we have tied up. The knots appear to good and the prisoner appears to be unconscious still. Marinus goes out to splash some water in his face for a sec. Suddenly, he hears a window smash. He runs back to the room and finds the prisoner escaped. Whoops he thinks before returning to his spot, letting everyone rest,
Breakfast at The Busted Barrel
The party goes to the Buster Barrel for breakfast where they recall that the upcoming moon is a Glowering Moon. During a Glowering Moon you must cover your skin from the moonlight, which appears to be poisonsous. For each hour that passes, you have the urge to fall asleep while the moon appears to stare at you.
for each hour that passes within the night of the moon, there is the urge to fall asleep.
- The light itself appears to be poisonous. The moon stares at you.
Umbrellas for tonight?
- to avoid the moon light!
Leaving the shrouded district
Jaeger Lebrond
- he misses the comradery
Back in the Grand Cathedral
People seem to be light beastial incense
Narissa visits Radiant Order Amenities for some rosary bullets
Daefied Death Bringers
Co-sponsored by the Emberhearts and Moongolds The shop keep is a mannequin of sorts!
- rather decayed/rusted
- named Rusty! All ranged weaponry
- Grey buys some Armor piecing rounds! Rusty apparently is bound to the shop, though thirsts for the blood of scourge, from his hunting days of old.
Waron wants to chat with the folk at Triple I’D, chat about the scythe’s performance thus far!
- maybe ask if there is a possibility to upgrade the thing at all to hold more souls? Ooooh, or the socks of spider climbing!
Ranyha Pelicos’s office
She is accusing Orastophelis Ranyha Pelicose - into the ministry of Light. Narissa tells her about Vikar Henry, the fake silver tonic, the beasts with the silver tonic, as well as the false gold that has infiltrated the Church’s gold. Michelangelo is responsible for the Obulis Scholare. Upon her mentioning this, Marinus feels whispers and a cold sensation on the back of his neck. They carry a responsibility for historical arcane artifacts. She talks about trying to do the work of the other vikars as they seem to be failing. They agree upon the party receiving access to her library for 29 hours at their choosing, only consecutive.
They also tell her of the compromised gold that they have been paid with by the Church. Tiredly she says that she supposes she must also now manage the sanctity of the churches funds now as well. She gives them a 3,000 GP Gold bar from the Church’s Private Treasury, something that she states that cannon be fabricated or fake.
Marinus asks Ranya if the name “The Black Goat” means anything to her. She says no, but they do not believe her. Marinus recalls that when Orrimir was killed it might have been mentioned. But he knows he heard it during the end of his live one, Marinus manages to deceive Ranhya that he heard it from Orimiir rather than from when he has died.**
