Sononn 9-15
Sota City
The Ascension Rite Argenti absolutely purge all Ferren Descension Rite traces. Descension Rite clergy who will not switch their allegiance to the ecclesiarchs of the Argentum Empire are driven off, and the worship spaces are reconsecrated. Some of the Ferrens respond by fornicating with whores in the reconsecrated places, defiling them. All Ferrens have their cut in half, with the penalty for Ferren desertion increased to public drawing and quartering.
Raphael
Raphael didn't rage. He smiled.
While the Argenti priests were busy chanting and repairing sigils, he strolled through the freshly reconsecrated grounds, like he was inspecting a new throne room. He game a slow, amused clap.
"Creative", he murmured. "Desperate, but creative."
Then he had the whole place scrubbed clean again. Not in anger. In style. Silver braziers relit. Banners hung higher. Incense thicker than before. If they wanted spectacle, he'd give them something worth kneeling to.
When the pay cuts were announced, Raphael didn't stiff beside the officers. He leaned. Arms crossed. Watched the Ferrens swalow their pride like fine wine. He caught the glaring. The ones pretending not to. The ones thinking about running.
"Desertion? Drawing and quartering? Publicly? Oh," Raphael said to no one in particular, "now this is getting interesting." That night he doubled the guard- not dramatically. Just a few quiet shifts of power. Loyal Argenti in key corridors. Supply lines sealed tight. Sanctums locked down like a vault. Not because he feared rebellion. Because he wanted to see who was bold enough to try.
And if someone did?
Well.
Raphael always enjoyed a little bit of curiosity.
Undermaze- Sota Cluster
A creature calling itself Legion possessed a bunch of minotaurs and attacked the reamining unpossessed minotaurs. They were pushed back and killed. The remaining minotaurs were seriously injured, and were unable to travel. The nearest cluster was many miles away. There was nothing to eat, and King Melny was just... gone.
Alistair
I use my healing sword to get anyone injured healed enough to start an evacuation effort.
Undermaze Proper
King Menly outraced stray queenslings, some of who were possed by Legion. Lultiple monsters came at King Melny over the next few days.
King Melny
Meny killed and ate what he had to, raw. If possible he would kill kill everything possible to find a way out. Unfortunately, this gives Melny Hallucinations 01.
Chapter Four- Sononn 16 to 17
Cal still didn't have internet, and Jesse was unreachable (probably passed out, given that he stays up pretty late to play with us). So we went... and. Well. Tasha did something just completely and unreasonably epic.
Reflections
We got a shorter wait time between sessions, and it didn't disappoint here either. We got to do something really epic (which is Tasha's bread and butter), without having to worry about how we got there during the session... because we had already gotten there.
1:1 time is awesome. It just is. I'm hooked.
