They heard the distant sound of a gunshot, and then a muffled explosion a few seconds later. What they could not see was that Pernicity had turned into a raven, and Amielle had been unable to hold onto the shape-changing witch. She fired a wild shot into the fog layer, missed and impacted into the ground, detonating her remaining grenade. Amielle's player would be switching to Roland Stanfield if he had been able to make our session.The group decided to continue upward with Harkover Lee using the Cauldron as a mode of transport. They reached the top of Cauldron Hill and noticed a group of people held captive by a few small fey. They managed to quietly take out the fey and free the people which the Red Contessa noticed. Harkover ditched the flying cauldron. After giving her pitch about Lorcan transferring the Rites of Rulership to her and revealing Rachel Lang's deception, she waited for his response as the time ticked toward the lunar eclipse completing. Lorcan quietly gave his crown to Melissa and strode forward to the middle of ritual area. He attempted to then quickly draw his sword, but it caught as he tried to draw it. The creatures attacked; the Red Contessa animated the cauldron and henge stones; and one of the witches cast darkness on the rest of the party. Before the darkness fell, Tomas remembered the Skyseer's prophecy about jumping into the cauldron to end the curse and used his superior speed to reach the cauldron and jump in. After feeling the intense pain of being scalded and hearing the Red Contessa's scorning laughter he jumped straight back out.The PCs started feeling their way out of the darkness with Melissa almost stepping off a cliff. Behind them, they heard Pernicity's childlike laugh as she said, "Thanks for bringing me my cauldron!" The Red Contessa used her cauldron curse on Lorcan and he started massively bleeding out. Outnumbered and with the king surrounded, the situation looked dire.Then Harkover Lee saved the day. As the creatures attacked and mostly missed the King, Harkover used dispel magic on the Red Contessa. He failed to dispel the animate objects, but he did dispel both the Bond of Forced Faith on the city of Flint as well as the one on all of the party. The Red Contessa's eyes bugged out in shock as Lorcan's sword bit deeply into her. She failed her concentration saving throw, and the animated objects returned to normal. Melissa removed the curse on the king. Victory looks assured, but we will see who survives...</blockquote>
