The party decides to go to Ravenia, by way of Castor. In Castor there's a church with a partially collapsed floor. This eventually leads to us taking down the city's mayor slash undead monstrosity, and stopping a ritual to bring a lindworm through a magical portal. Deadorna kindly offered to put him out of his misery as an alternative to being sent back into some kind of hell dimension, but the lindworm took offense ... and was sent back, for possibly someone else to deal with in another couple of hundred years time.
In the woods we later came across Mother Elsana and the Night Lady. Elindra removed a cursed gem from a corpse, and as the Ordo Magica would only paw it off to someone else anyway, she buries it in an undisclosed location.
In Ravenia Valgai meets a friend, Teig, in a pub. (Teig as a character will be joining us going forward, replacing Valgai.) Murmei does a lot of research and is stopped from going to investigate a hubbub outside Ordo Magica in the middle of the night. His sister doesn't seem to think it's a smart move to get involved when people are out to potentially murder you? The hubbub turned out to be a whole family getting killed by a giant spider. Kind of like the one Elindra has as a familiar - except she was a few hours north of Ravenia at that point. Someone's setting her up?
GM: “Murmei knows some things about Castor.”
Player 1: “Murmei knows some things about custard?!”
Player 2: “He is a Loremaster Master so he probably knows custard is a non-Newtonian liquid.”
“Deadorna looks like she’d like to murder someone.”
“When does she not?”
“We’re not destroying, we’re purging the people trying to destroy.”
“The great and noble heir of House Vesuvion. No, there’s an older brother for that.”
GM: “Murmei has done so little I have forgotten his name.”
Deadorna: “Try not to kill anyone without me. I’d hate to miss out.”
Valgai: “It’s gonna be a long day.”
“They don’t make mercenaries like they used to.”
“They have a difference of opinion on work ethic.”
“Both groups are dragging corpses with them.”
“Ahh, it’s been a good adventure.”
“You … polished your guardian, and I can’t believe that isn’t a euphemism.”
“You might feel a small prick.”
“We’re back to polishing the guardian again?”
“Oh my god I’ve done it AGAIN! What the fuck is WRONG with me?”
“Lololololol!”
“If we were all rolling like me, we’d all be dead.”
Player 1: “Night Lady sounds like a prostitute.”
GM: “No, no, no. Ohhh, wait.”
Player 2: “She IS a prostitute!”
“I have two pets and an attitude problem, that’s my excuse.”
Valgai: “I’m going to meet up with some old friends.”
Murmei (surprised): “You have friends?”
“You said everyone competent and went on to listing everyone except Murmei and Knightlight. I mean, you could’ve at least said Knightlight!”
