Session 11: The Crimson Temple
Evening, 22th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party plus
Remy
continued their conversation about what to do next.
Remy, Ekhart, and Revana talked about how they cast magic.
Remy showed her magic focus, which was a small iron statue of the Goddess, Talena.
Ekhart tried casting magic using the focus and it absorbed his spell when he channelled it through the statue.
Revana tried to use the focus, but was unable to.
Revana also explained that she gets her ability to wildshape from the moon, Lunos.
Remy, Revana, and Sanglant went out to enjoy the festival. Ekhart stayed in Brother Isbeth's house.
Remy found a carriage driver that was leaving
They all ate and drank and enjoyed people celebrating.
Eventually, at the finale of the festival, the effigy of the Demon King was burned in the statue of Talena's hands.
They returned to Brother Isbeth's house where Ekhart had built a book fort.
Morning, 23th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party left south to travel to the
Crimson Temple
.
Morning, 24th Summer Prime, 498 CE
After travelling through the
Wayswen Bluffs
for a day, the party left the caravan and continued southeast.
Afternoon, 24th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party arrived at the border of the
Void
.
Revana tried to commune with Terra and realized that she was unresponsive.
She also noticed that the world was dead around the void in the physical world.
Ekhart entered the void in the physical world and his glamour faded.
He quickly set it back up, but now has to maintain concentration on it.
Sanglant tried to send his spirit into the Faerealm, but something pulled his body along with it.
Inside, Sang came face to face with the Void which was a giant sphere of the faerealm which was missing.
A strong gale was blowing into the void, sucking everything into the void.
He poked his staff in, and it felt like it was grabbed and being pulled on by something.
After that, several hand prints began pressing and clawing at the void as if there was many somethings inside.
He then (FOR SOME REASON) decided to try and grab one of the hands, which turned out to be a bad idea.
A hand grabbed at him and began trying to pull him into the void.
Sanglant then returned to the physical world.
The party continued walking towards the Crimson Temple.
Evening, 24th Summer Prime, 498 CE
The party arrived outside the Crimson Temple.
Revana turned into a squirrel and sneaked around the balcony of the temple.
She couldn't find a way into the temple, but she did find a skylight looking into the main church hall.
Inside, she could only see a single person, playing the organ.
The party then entered the Temple, which reeked of blood and iron and flowers.
They tried the door to the main hall, but it was locked, so they travelled to a side room.
Inside there was a several dead dogs, a deranged priest, and one of the dogs that had turned into a Hell Hound.
They began to fight.
As they fought, the priest kept muttering.
“Summoning him was merely a formality.”
“The beast was already here.”
