Xellous: 13 years old, the main character, played by my buddy Ryan Kurlak. He wants to be the greatest enchanter ever, and has had to deal with Flammeous Lads threatening his family.
Kora: Also 13, Xellous' wife. She's currently pregnant after being raped by her (now dead) father Altus, and owns a ridiculously powerful bow called Pyra, made for her by Xellous.
Telos: A man from another place, another time.
Ernzan: a man who has been implied to have made Michael summon the Flammeous Lads. He and Veraunay kidnapped Threen and Michael.
Michael: Kora's younger brother. He'd summoned a Flammeous Lad before, but has no memory of doing so. He is currently kidnapped by Ernzan and Veraunay.
Threen: Kora's mother, also kidnapped by Ernzan and Veraunay.
Veraunay: Ernzan's wife. She had attacked Xellous, Kora, and Telos last session, and had been knocked out. She is now their hostage.
Veraunay was revived and Xellous examined her aura; she exuded lies. So Xellous asked Kora to help him talk to Veraunay, to try and trap her in the truth, somehow. But Veraunay was abrasive and arrogant. She taunted Kora about Michael and Veraunay, mocking her powerlessness.
Xellous wasn't fast enough to stop Kora from pulling out an arrow and incinerating Veraunay with Pyra.
Kora screamed and tried to make a break for the cottage. Telos tried to gently restrain Kora, but Xellous tripped in trying to help Telos and fell on Kora, giving her the chance to break away and make a run for it. Xellous and Telos chased her, but the torrential rain gave Kora the chance to slip away. Xellous took Telos the direct route to the cottage, barely catching up to Kora.
Kora was just knocking an arrow to Pyra. Xellous was somehow able to get her to not shoot the cabin, but not to keep Kora from taunting Ernzan about killing his wife and sister. Ernzan, with a pitch black aura that was... secondary... to another aura(?) came out, Michael and Threen in tow. Ernzan asked for clarification: had Kora really killed Veraunay and Meera. Kora crowed that she had. Her aura was looking positively sickening.
Ernzan took a ring off his finger and said, loudly and clearly in the pouring rain: " I, the last of the Accursed of Xalmantra, renege on my oath." He dropped the ring and walked away. Michael walked up to Xellous and told him he knew the truth about Threen and that he was done. As Michael walked away the earth shook. Out of the ground arose a monstrosity of a behemoth. The sheer evil of its aura knocked Xellous out, cold.
