[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8928151, member: 7032019"] [I]Updating for the last two sessions...[/I] The next few days are spent spreading out across Dassen and speaking with other proxies, trying to gain their favor. Some situations are successful, others not so much... eventually, the Barbarian faces his past, in meeting with the Dashgoban envoy, who turns out to be his former flame. The meeting is awkward but productive, leading into the audience with the king. As they arrive, they find the ending of a trial of sorts, where a clerk to Lord Gallo's proxy is being grilled by a gnome wizardess, the advisor to King Steppengard himself. The man is seemingly caught in the midst of a magical charm, unable to relate the full truth about his guilt (or innocence) related to Gallo's alleged complicity in the death of the King's family. Ultimately, the time comes to present the heroes' cause. The speech is eloquent and persuasive, earning sympathy from virtually all of the lords. When King Steppengard rises to speak, however, he cruelly rebuffs the heroes, demands that they be given no aid or comfort, and gives them a three day deadline to get out of Bresk. As the team members raise their voices in objection, they are hastily escorted out of the throne room.... [B]SESSION NOTES: [/B]Thanks to having an Eloquence Bard on the team, the negotiations were a moot point... I knew he would almost certainly succeed at swaying everyone. That's why Steppengard's outburst caught everyone off guard. As expected, they began talking back to [I]THE KING,[/I] so I was prepared this time to promptly throw them out of the throne room. Dassen don't do disrespect. Intriguingly, this episode became even more compelling for the resident Wild Magic Barbarian, whom I've decided is (so far unknowingly) indwelt by a Trillith. He decided to try and pop his version of Detect Magic in the throne room, and indeed detected that the clerk was being magically compelled, and that the king had not only the protection from the Book of Eight Lands upon him, but some other effect that was both alien, yet weirdly familiar. When he turned his gaze to Nina, though, it was like getting hit in the skull with a brick, and it broke his magical awareness... one Trillith sensing another. He saw Nina staring pointedly at him as the group left... [I]NEXT TIME: [/I]A dire warning, a nighttime ambush, and a warrant for the team's arrest! [/QUOTE]
