Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andrew Moreton" data-source="post: 7945019" data-attributes="member: 6920268">The last session before the ApocalypseRecovering from teleport effects in the dreaming the constables were delighted to discover armies on both sides of them , and resolved to run away to avoid getting caught in the middle. Seeing Rambylon to the South they made their way to him, avoiding a few showers of arrows with nimbleness and in the case of Ulvaar deflecting winds. As they fled William was able to identify the fighting factions but was suprised that fighting had broken out.   Ulvaar was also carrying the persistently unconcious body of AndreiNearing the edge of the battlefield they ran into the Dire Fox leading the hunt and their response was to use flight magic to fly to lift themselves and their guide over the Fox and the Hunt, they worked out the fox was leading the hunt around but shrugged it off as Fey craziness.At the edge of the battlefield they talked to the spectators and discovered what was happening in the dreaming. They decided on their own initiative to go and find out what had happened to Rock, as he was a Risuri citizen and Nevla could probably bring him back from the dead tommorrow if they needed to as she could learn a ressurection spell. They also decided they needed to speak with the Unseen court about getting home but had the feeling that the court would want them to find out who killed Rock or get them to frame someone so the decided to investigate Rocks death first in the hope that they would get less interference if it was an unofficial investigation.Manuel was reminded by passing the Mill that he was still trying to find a way to stop technology intefering with the dreaming too much and he would have to get back to that when not trying to stop the assasination of the King and the end of the world as we know it.  When the group arrived in Clover they went straight to the mortuary noting the constant evening, it was decided that Manuel would have to be careful about stealth in the dreaming as one good roll could move the city from Noon to Midnight as he became the night. The moss cats at the mortuary were considered adorable and cute.  By dint of fast talking and claiming to the the authorites they got Rock exhumed and investigated the body quickly spotting that the head wound was not vorpal, the arrow wound was not fatal , the body had too much blood in it for decapitation to be the cause of death and that he had been drugged. They then tried speak with dead but determined Rock;s spirit was not around either because this was a fake or due to magic (they at this point worked out the Sham-rock pun and confirmed that it was physically painful). Then they tried consulting with the spirits of Risur via Williams ability to contact other plane at will.Here the dice decided to screw with them, there is a chance of the spirits lieing or answering randomly and on pretty much every important question they did. It was determined that Rock wasDeadUndeadPossibly killed by agents of the Unseen court , the hedehog court, The Ash Wolf and the Voice of Rot as all of these were unclear.He was not in the aburdist webHe was in the dreamingThe answers they got were very confusing , so they decided to go to the Krog tunnel and investigae there. They had not determined much except they needed to prepare some better divination magic when the tunnel started to flood, Ulvaar extended his life bubble to the few bystanders and the team prepared to ignore the flooding , the Fey Orca suprised them briefly before the first of them managed to get cut to pieces by getting caught between William, Ulvaar and Padme when Padme attacked triggerring extra attack from every crit she got it took 6 hits from Padme. 5 from William and 1 from Ulvaar for some truly ridiculous amont of damage in the region of 400+ and exploding, the other Orca ran away by teleporting. Nevla and Manuel combined to break the ice barrier with a cannon ball and a shatter spell, the satyrs ambushed them as they left the tunnel. Manuel getting stabbed by the teleporting satyr and confused by hte bard, Nevla dispelled the confusion as the group has experience that if there is a confused PC with a gun he will crit another pc and kill them particularly if there is a bard pc (this has happened in every other campaign with guns normally to Manuels player)  the satyrs went down under a flurry of none lethal attacks. the group interrogated them and learned they had been hired by Darbony they then decided execution was not appropriate and took their services sending them out to bring back the witnesses to Rock's death. The inteference here decided them that it was time to speak to the courts.They went to the palace to speak with the Unseen court first, meeting with the various court members went smoothly , they did get the book of Kelland but were careful not to incure an obligation to the Toadstool sage.  They agreed to invsetigate the murder on Thiraldions behalf and ignored his clear intent that they should just go out and frame Olazdor. Then they went and spoke with the Hedgehog court they liked the straightforwardness of Olazdor, and Beshala explained she could get them home by waking she who writhes as she thought that may persuade them not to frame Olazdor for the Unseen court.At the end of the session they discussed things they noticed that Asraby had not made it here but then realsised they last saw Copper Hat in the same place as Asraby. This implied Copper hat could travel to the dreaming when no one else could and at that point they remembered that they had always though Copper hat may be tied to the Voice of Rot and then decided his ability to move between the planes proved it. Nevla's player wants to do an Agatha Christie style reveal to the curtsSeperatly Ulvaar decided that Rock must be in the Absurdist Web and decided to reach in and pull him out.I think he will be able to but at that point I ended the session.Date of next session uncertain due to the apocalypse, Williams player started to develop Coronavirus symptoms on Tuesday night so we are not certain when the next session will be, looking at possibly doing as session over video link if delays continue enough.However any break is likely to be shorter than the 6 month break in our Way of the Wicked campaign doe to Cancer of the GM. So we will finish this campaign possibly later than we would wantAt which point I ended the session</blockquote>
