[QUOTE="Echolocation, post: 8864643, member: 7011911"] [B]Session 88[/B] (Angharad was absent for this session) The tl;dr here is that the players completed the trials of the temple, snagged the artifact, and teleported back to Kasvarina. In between the trials, I gave players a description of what was happening in the battle they orchestrated between weretigers and the Clergy. This was a 'meta' thing, the player's [I]characters[/I] were unaware. Though, Lisandra would later discover the outcome via divination. One thing I decided beforehand was that Harkover would be sentient in the trial of distant past, given Pemberton was sentient during the trial of near past. I think their fiery souls, powerful magics, and ancient stories find a metaphysical home in the temple of tales. Some highlights from the trials: [LIST] [*][B]Distant past[/B]. Minister Lee casted invisibility on the party to aid them, but Naomi died. Harkover discovered that the trials were psychic, not physical. People killed in the trial are unconscious in reality. [*][B]Near past[/B]. Naomi got her hand caught it a turbine, but otherwise, this was an easy trial for a wild shaping druid, a flying spiritualist, and an acrobatic rogue. The party mostly ignored Pemberton. [*][B]Far future[/B]. Now [I]this[/I] was fun. Rin (who wears Naomi as her disguise) is enamoured with Rock Rackus, as is her patron Thrisraldion. As the ground split open, Rock dramatically saved Naomi/Rin from falling into the ravine of witchoil. Rock insulted the combat music choice of the demons and queued his own beats. Naomi fiercely defended Rock. Rock, somehow, still managed to land the killing blow on most of the enemies, despite only doing a portion of damage of the party. John was thrown into the ravine, but reappeared dramatically after polymoprhing into a dragon. [/LIST] [ATTACH type="full" width="336px" alt="1671494726370.png"]270114[/ATTACH] The battle, as recorded by Naomi's players notes: [LIST] [*]Many miles away, the weretigers and Clergy are skirmishing: the weretigers trying to find a way through the wall. Weretigers peppered with silver crossbow bolts. The weretiger leader dashed for the gate himself, climbed the fence, and thrust open the gate from the other side. [*]Weretigers inside the outpost. Atticus in his quarters. Shouting outside. Atticus looking at his golden breastplate with the iconography of Clergy warriors fighting the Demonocracy.
