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
  • The powers we have gotten are part of "The Way"
    • This is a system taught by The Oba that can unlock more abilities should we want them in the future
  • We talk with the Oba and she has convinced the forest to stop consuming villages within the empire
  • We ask the guild of surveryors about Kaeso Crito, and nobody there knows anybody by that name
  • Nick decides to disguise himself as Kaeso Crito and tries to bullshit his way into the department of Surveryors
    • As he confidently struts around the department, he tries to intimidate his way through
    • Nobody is buying his act and they try to push him out, which reveals his illusion, and the city guard is called, one woman does seem to try to help Nick make a clean exit
    • We are asked to leave the building
  • This all tells us that Kaeso is not recognizable to the other employees
  • We decide to loiter in the area and wait for this woman to leave
  • We approach her to bring up Kaeso Crito
