====== Session 12: Battle with Redrose ======

=== Evening, 24th Summer Prime, 498 CE ===

  * The party plus [[:wiki:npcs:remy_dane|Remy]] continued their investigation of the Crimson Temple.
  * They entered another room with a series of depictions of the Seven Divine Rites, as well as several tokens that fit into each one. 
  * Ekhart realized that the tokens each representing the seven colours of magic.
    * The Rite of Calm, depicting Talena smiling serenely, was blue for Transmutation.
    * The Rite of Patience, depicting Talena meditating, was brown for Enchantment.
    * The Rite of Freedom, depicting Talena flying, was yellow for Divination.
    * The Rite of Conflict, depicting Talena in battle, was purple for Conjuration.
    * The Rite of Truth, depicting Talena blindfolded, was white for Illusion.
    * The Rite of Protection, depicting Talena guarding a child, was green for Abjuration.
    * The Rite of Passion (Talena's Final Rite), depicting Talena being chained up, was red for Evocation.
  * After fitting each colour into their corresponding Divine Rite, they unlocked a secret compartment.
    * Inside, they found a letter, and a rose imbued with the Location Person spell, as well as a key.
  * They used the key to unlock a door to a stairwell that brought them to the balcony of the church hall.
    * They saw Cardinal Redrose playing the organ, moving unnaturally.
    * They also saw two other priests sitting in the pews, one was robed while the other wore armour.
  * The party strategized about how they would confront Cardinal Redrose.
    * Ekhart and Sanglant would hide in the balcony, ready to strike.
    * Remy and Revana would enter the front door to the hall and demand answers from the Cardinal.
  * Rev entered, asking the Cardinal to explain what he was up to.
    * Some unnamed being, Ekhart later surmised to be a Death elemental, had inhabited the Cardinals body.
    * The being was waiting for an army to arrive, as he said his current body was not longer useful.
    * He said that last time, he was too hasty, and this time he would take his time.
  * The party then fought the Cardinal and his lackies.
    * Sanglant jumped down from the balcony and delivered a rather impressive one-hit KO to the Cardinal.
    * Remy and Rev fought off the powerful clerics, while Ekhart assistant from the balcony.
  * After they were all destroyed, the party investigated the body of the Cardinal.
    * As Ekhart got close, the dead body of the Cardinal appeared to cast some kind of Hellish Rebuke, nearly killing Ekhart.
  * Revana heard a noise and ran up onto the balcony with Remy, only to find a large group of Cleric, led by a Confessor, was setting up camp outside the Temple.
  * Sanglant eventually realized that the Shadow tattoo on his body seemed to be calling to him.
    * As soon as he interacted with it, a tiny version of [[wiki:npcs:uun|Uun]] popped out.
  * As soon as the Death Elemental saw Uun, he demanded Sanglant come closer.
    * Sanglant obviously refused.
  * Uun explained that he could make Sanglant his champion so that they could escape.
    * Sanglant agreed, and the Shadow tattoo on his arm became permenant and visible on his arm.
    * Uun then taught Sanglant the ability to Faestride, allowing him to teleport him and his companions to Uun's location in the Faerealm.
