[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4863864, member: 60965"] Session 21, Part 6 "The Adviser appeared when Bragas and I were out looking for his sister. You might have heard of her? The Huntress?" Bradic looked between them. They glanced at each other and shrugged. “Well, you're lucky. Anyway, we were here looking for her and we found this cave.
