[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8471155, member: 7030144"] Session 33 (October 17, 2021) 19 Tar-Chund As they head to the Hanalian refugee encampment, Noah asks the satyr leading them who is in charge, so they might be able to set up embassies. The satyr is confused by the whole concept and says that they don’t need to talk with anyone. Noah also suggests that they could get involved in fights up in the lands above. Eventually, they reach some armored men guarding the path. The group approaches, with Noah and Iados in the lead. “Halt!” “Greetings. We mean you no harm and bring you good news.” “Oh?” “There’s fruit!” interjects Iados. “The true Queen-Empress is willing to recruit you all, and lead you out of this valley to reclaim Hanal.” “The Queen-Empress sent us here!” Noah keeps trying to recruit them, but they think he’s trying to turn them against the Queen-Empress. Sister Agnes interjects, arguing that a Queen-Empress condemned by the Holy Inquisition for demonism can’t be the Queen-Empress. They seem confused and suggest that they talk to the colonel. The encampment is well-ordered and consists of several hundred troops. Noah estimates that it’s the remnants of a single field army, though obviously mostly The colonel is an older man, with a favor in green on his breast. He mentions that they are trapped by mists—whenever they try to leave, they enter mists, which turn them around and lead them back to the encampment. He assumes that it must be a magic effect, but their magi are all dead and their priest can’t dispel it. Noah tells him that they serve the Princess Anastasia, and that they think they could lead the army out. They begin telling him about the civil war, and the Holy Inquisition’s siding against the Queen-Empress for her demonism. The colonel calls for his priest, who is haggard and overworked. “If we are to accept this… then we must be loyal to the rightful heir, though I find it hard to even think that.” “The usurper has powerful magic to control the mind, as well as assassins among the army units to maintain their loyalty.” “What do you propose then?” Noah explains his plan. The colonel is agreeable, but they keep being turned back by the mists—both when they attempt to climb the stairs and when they attempt to send scouts up the cliffs. Sr. Agnes suggests that the mists may not impede them if they are trying to leave to follow the Princess Anastasia. They agree, and when they try to leave this time, the mists do not block them, but then form behind the army to shepherd them out. Whimsey plays around with them: Noah grows a prehensile tail. Iados begins sprouting bat wings. Sr. Agnes responds by putting on a spiked bracelet, twisting it against her wrist, and praying quietly to the Weeping Woman while engaged in some mild mortification. Elyn notices some compound eyes up ahead. They keep going, and then the spider charges them. Elyn shoots it with her bow as it charges, hitting it for 5 damage. Iados gets knocked forward by the spider onto a trap on the road, and he plunges down a chute. Ravokris burns it with a fire bolt. Sr. Agnes casts beacon of hope. Noah bounces his blade off its chiton with the first attack, and then hits with the second. The solifugid bites Noah. Ravokris burns it with a scorcher, and Noah stabs it repeatedly. Sr. Agnes heals Noah for 12, and then the solifugid hits Noah twice, one critically. Noah takes 43 points of damage. Iados at the bottom of the chute is surrounded by animal bones. But he also sees 4 glowing spheres off to the side. Elyn comes down to join him, and identifies those as eggs. She also concludes that they’re close to hatching. They finally kill the spider. Noah tries to cut out its venom glands, and successfully recovers one. Elyn and Iados light the area below on fire, burning up the eggs. [End session 33] [/QUOTE]
