[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6168493, member: 79141"] [b]Session 84a - Downtime Week Ten[/b] At the start of week ten, Leon returns from what, to him, felt like a month-long journey into the Dreaming. What was intended as a short trip, to be formally inducted into the Unseen Court and receive his Incisive Blade*, took an unexpected and disturbing turn, when he learned of a strange new threat – an alien darkness that was swallowing up whole tracts of the Dreaming, despite every effort of the Unseen Court to abate and control it.
