Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrew Moreton" data-source="post: 7380011" data-attributes="member: 6920268">The session started with a quick retcon as we realised that the last week we forgot to run the spirit medium talking to Nilasa.They brought in a halfling spirit medium the same one who will later be used by Rock Rackus to communicate, but as he was in a trance one of the pc's (Nevla ) talked to the spirit of Nilasa. They had a long discussion about what their 3 questions would be which sidetracked into the nature of the divine in this world and were the dead go. Eventually they settled on first asking her about the events leading to her death the account they got matched their theories but the description of the shadow man who attacked her worried them , the only thing the players could think of was a shadow demon and that scares them.The second question was about why she was there they heard an explanation that Gale was looking for evidence of a conspiracy involving the Danoran's and industrialists, that made them really want to talk to Gale , I very much doubt they are going to arrest her.The third question was about how to contact Gale and it turned out that Nilasa's methods were either slow or involved messages on the wind so of no use to them.We then cut back to were we left them at the end of the last session about to get into a fight with the cloudwood bandits. Initially Manuel challanged the bandits to surrender but after Renard fired an arrow at him (Renard failed to hit with a single attack for the entire fight due to bad dice rolls). Padme, and El Kevin chipped away at Renard and another bandit, Ulvaar used the Icon of Avilona to fly up to the druid and another bandit and hacked away at them. Manual shot at swarms, the druid and Renard doing massive damage with his alchemical musket shots. Nevla rushed to the turned carriage to protect the people there and took a pistol shot to the face but then proceded to take out both the pistoleers.  In the end after a bit of damage they knocked out the Druid, 4 bandits and the 2 pistoleers , Renard ran off into the woods and they could not catch up with the ranger in the undergrowth. They secured their prisoners and sent Manual back on Roger to bring up some police to escort their prisoners  back to town and he ran into a ranger patrol who took their prisoners off their hands and escorted them back to the RHC. This allowed the constables to press on and meet the dying skyseer.At this point I showed them the front cover of module 2 and they were impressed with the artwork but slightly dissapointed that he was not holding any planets when they met him. They talked to him about Gale making it clear that they wanted to talk to her rather than arrest her and he agreed to set up a meeting if they did him the favor of climbing the mountain with him to see the sky. They agreed but Manual after realising he was talking to a man old enough to have outlived at least 4 generations of goblins asked to get a letter to introduce them to Gale in case he died in the next day or so. In fact they were so concerned that he could die soon they decided to make a rush job and talk to the mayor the next morning to set up a visit in the evening, because on the 4th they would be busy dealing with smugglers at night.The next morning Nevla went to talk to mayor macbennin while the others went to HQ and filed paperwork on the huge bunch of bandits they had caught , the B team was brought in to help process them as the pc's case was more urgent and they would have to rush off.Nevla was somewhat suspicous at the Mayor's but dismissed the Butler as just a Butler, if only they had taken Manual with his natural suspicion of Butlers he may have identified the assassin. She then chatted with the 'courier' she did notice he was a bit suprised to see her (because she looks just like Kasavarina's daughter) , he made his speech about the difficulty of one man changing the tide of chaos and the need for order, she disagreed she said that the chaos was what people wanted and that she believed one person or 'pebble' could make a difference as he would see, he wished her well and agreed they would see who was right and then moved on. Apparently his philosophy , reaction to her and his smoking has made the player think he is far more than a courier, I think they are well primed to start seeing signs of Nicodemus everywhere. The talk to the mayor went smoothly , she thought that he was what she expected in the mayor charged with containing dark magic and he thought this was a great opportunity to get her and the team dead.At the RHC Office the rest of the team were there when professor campbell arrived to see if the officers who visited her were real. They handed off talking to her to Asst Inspector Dreflt as he was much better than any of the team at the office at handling people, and he persuaded her to reveal she was in contact with wolfgang , they had missed the message transfer for the 3rd of summer but planned to follow the one tommorrow morning after they came down the mountain.They liked the complicated maps , for the fight with the bandits but we got a bit confused as we were working off pc screens, one of them has a decent A3 printer and will print some maps out for me in the future.</blockquote>
