It was late, and Elemix had spent several hours – first cleaning, and then later adding new spells to his spell book. He had been standing now for many hours carefully scripting away, but at last he was finished and his legs told him he needed to rest. He poured some tea and sat down on the roughly crafted chair in his room at the inn. Now that he had finished with his spell book, he couldn’t help but reflect on the events of the past couple of days. Continue reading “Elemix – Rambling Thoughts…”
Epilogue: Session 6
Overview
With the fight outside Breven behind them, the party settled business with the local Magus Geoffrey Caron (an illusionist several years older than Elemix), entertaining at the local inn (The Rose Unicorn), and attuning to ancient Dwarven weapons of unknown disposition (including paying for the room damage from the exhilaration of power). With a five day trip to Camaret ahead of them and a victory behind them, the party is ready to move forward. Jocelyn notes that once they arrive in Thalassa, Tiffanie is invited to join her at the Temple to see once and for all if the curse can be removed easily or not.

Letters from Derrien
It was very late after a long night of entertaining in the Mighty Griffin in Derrienport when Emmeline returned to her modest room and sat down with her travel desk. She lit her little candle pulled out a sheet of parchment, inkwell and quill. The quill in her hand hovered over the ink. A lot had happened and she felt… strange about it all.

The Interview
Dressing in mundane clothes with a minor glamour hiding Storm Witch’s appearance allowed her to move relatively easily for the short periods she needed for a lunch break. It was after she’d purchased a hot dog from a street vendor that she’d seen Channel Two’s advertisement on a TV perched in the window of an electronics store.
The ad featured an image of herself about to engage in combat with one of the women from Necro’s gang. It was dramatic, but a little fuzzy since it had been taken at a distance and then enlarged. Closed Captioning read, “Storm Witch, if you are out there and willing to answer questions that have been burning in the minds of citizens throughout the city, please call Channel Two.” Continue reading “The Interview”

Epilogue: Session 5
Overview
Despite little direct help (save for Magus Alix and Sister Jocelyn) from the Duke, his proctor d’Eniac, the Mayor, or the Constable of Derrien, the party successfully intercepted and captured the villainous priestess of Tyaa, Thea (Gosvinthea) and her companion who refused to reveal his name.
The prisoners were held for two days before the city Archon (a priest of Aarith named Pereth) determined that they were in fact guilty of murder, conspiracy, and brigandry in supporting the attack north of Calder Falls. The full list of who was hired by them could not be ascertained. Nor did they reveal the location of their remaining member, Tuderic, or the destination of the goods shipped.

Epilogue Session 4
Overview
Emmeline and Elemix asked the weapons merchant Simon to seek out a person of means to buy the Tyaanite Broach. After the word went out, 2 names came in by the next day, one – the Magus Alix (whom they met the night before), and another Morgan, who had been passing through. Morgan was somewhat surprised to see Emmeline. They came to an agreement and Morgan left with the broach. Emmeline sold it to her thinking that either a) she was a Tyaanite, b) she was powerful enough to use it, or c) something else. Had he known, El would have wished to have been there.
