Gold Wyrm Soldiers on Our Turf

📚 Annalana: There are a 12-24 heavily armed folks with the symbol of the Gold Wyrm. Annalana has everyone huddle up to plan. We decide to have Steinar and Kaelon go and reset the traps while Elis, Qistis, and Annalana go to talk to the soldiers. Kaelon notices something in his pack, and there is a skull inside of his pack that says, “Shh…”. Sargeat Bobby Pierson from the Gold Wyrm. He tells us that they are taking care of the undead problem, working from the opposite direction. We compare and update maps. The Gold Wyrm troops set up camp around the gazebo. We decide to go in through the backdoor to take care of the altar. Qistis serves as a guard while the rest of us go down below. Once underground Kaelon is told by the skull, privately, that the altar is load-bearing and shouldn’t be destroyed because it will explode. A debate ensues on what to do about that. Sargeat Pierson walks over to Qistis and they chat. He encourages Qistis and the rest of us to leave. Qistis starts asking about how to get rid of cursed items, as she is concerned about Annalana’s cloak.

Back in Eldolon and Meeting with the Prince

📚 Annalana: We meet up again with Elviro. There is an envelope for when we return and inside is just an address in the Governor’s district, on Brightwater Street. It is a small, quaint cottage with eclectic decorations. Inside are plush couches of gaudy design and smoking from a stem pipe is a 20-something man wearing a leather vest and shorts. We recognize him as under princess. The prince gives Annalana and Qistis a copy each of a writ that says that we’re working on the Emperor’s business. The Prince tells Annalana that he has discovered her cache of journals. He advises her that she shouldn’t leave direct evidence of her war crimes, such as the time she spent with the Crusader against the Diabolist, referring to civilians as “meat shields”.

City of Horizon

📚 Annalana: HQ of the Empire. The city is hyper-magical.

Annalana moves her book cache

📚 Annalana: Annalana moves her cache of books to another storage vault, which ends up near the vault that Steinar and Elis are interested in. Annalana stored her books here under the name “Qistis”.

Qistis’ Vault

📚 Annalana: Inside is a forest and it feels like winter and it is larger on the inside.
