[QUOTE="John Dallman, post: 9699800, member: 6999616"] The session was mostly waiting for the High Priest of Zeus to show up. He was being scryed regularly, and it was clear that he wasn't making his best speed. He took a diversion to the Temple of Hermes, and arrived with a Priest of Hermes in tow. While we were waiting, Aster and the Bow of Apollo checked the loyalty of the Empress' guards (all loyal), advisers (not all of them) and servants (more embezzling than treason). That night, the Empress visited the party for dinner, asked us to tell the priests of the conclave that she's serious about the defensive alliance; granted us all citizenship, freedom of movement within the empire, and the right of audience with her; and granted Rama permission to rebuild the Tower of Blackened Marble on both dayside and nightside. She definitely wants to be friends with the Magus of the Tower, and Rama is happy to be friendly with her. She also wished to visit the Temple of Artemis to give thanks for the goddess' intervention. Aster deferred that decision to the local High Priestess, who was very happy to for the Empress to visit. There was then several days of planning the expedition to Thermesia, deciding who will go, writing declarations, and so on Finally, the High Priest of Zeus showed up. His Priest of Hermes was denied entry to the meeting, between him and his entourage with the Empress, supported by Aster, Hamsa and Rama. He clearly had no idea of how much was already known, and dug his own grave under questioning. He had lied to the sacred creatures of Zeus - the giant eagles - who had attacked us a few sessions ago. We had defended ourselves, killing them (they weren't very tough and Rama is a specialised missile magician) and then raised them, explained, and allowed them to leave when they had recovered. Comakos was brought in, and shown to be working for the drow by the Light of Apollo, as was one of his entourage. He himself showed as a charred corpse under that light, and since it was getting dark in mid-afternoon, the meeting moved outdoors, and the High Priest was killed by a thunderbolt. The Empress told his entourage that when there's a new High Priest of Zeus, the church needs to serve the god, rather than itself. The Priest of Hermes, who'd tried to slip away and been caught, was told to send for his High Priest, swiftly! [/QUOTE]
