Recap to Current Situation

•  We go dive into some ruins and fight a big tree/undead monster. We collect a giant, sentient head and need to decide whether to bring this to the Archivist or to the Empress for more information or as proof of the Red Omen respectively.
  

Session Notes

• We take a long rest at the entrance to the ruins
  
• Then we decide to head back to a nearby village, Narfolk, where we can meet with the Council of the Few

• It is a perfectly average day outside for the season

• We enter the Council of the Few building and find ourselves in the Archivist's cavern like normal
• We present the head/helmet to Nibenay and recount our experiences to him
  
• He picks it up and inspects it. He points out that the helmet is marked as belonging to Triginta Septum
• He believes that this would support our claim that the Red Omen is active once more
• Erica asks how this relates to the Red Omen/Bashuk Ushat
• The Archivist explains that the most devoted followers would relinquish their identities and become numbers
• The ancient writing is some kind archaic fusion of modern elvish and dwarven
• He asks us to try to influence her to try to renounce her old ways
• We decide to head out to the Empress
• We make our way into the capital city of Gulg
  

• Today is a kind of warm day, 20 degrees warmer than normal

• We go through some roundabout process and make our way to the Empress
• She dismisses almost all her attendants, like last time
• We present the head/helmet to the Oba
  • She picks up the head and inspects it, seeing the writing
  • She hands off the head to an attendant, telling him to "take care" of it
  • We pass on the message that she should renounce her old ways
  • She grants us a boon:
    • Erica gets an empathy ability
    • Walter gets a fortify ability
    • Nick gets a light ability
