==Summary== === Episode 9: Nine-Tenths of the Law === ==== The Party ==== ([[Anna Prosser Robinson|Anna]]) [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] - Human Paladin of Lathander ([[Commander Holly|Holly]]) [[Strix]] - Tiefling Sorcerer ([[ProJared]]) [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] - Human Rogue Nate couldn't make it this week. ==== Diath's Spirit ==== [[File:Strixkay.jpg|thumb|https://twitter.com/kayncli]] We start by going back in time to last session, experienced from [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]'s point of view. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] is a disembodied consciousness. He sees himself hanging on the gallows. Hundreds of ravens descend on the town square. They attack and chase off everyone - guards, townsfolk, and citizens alike. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] watches his allies pull his body off the gallows. He senses that the mists want to bind him to this location forever. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] blames all of this on the kid that was chucking rocks at him. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] is able to connect to [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]'s spirit. In fact, [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] realizes he can control [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]'s body and perhaps the bodies of other people! It takes [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] a long time to get acclimated to [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]'s body and we skip to the group riding to [[Krezk]], which is where last session ended. The group has [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]'s corpse with them and they want to have him resurrected. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] is now in control of [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]. He says hello to the group. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] tries to prove to his allies that it is him by doing complicated dagger moves, but it turns out that he has [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]'s stats! He rolls an 8. His dagger flops into a bush. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] goes to retrieve his dagger. As he does so, he stumbles upon a corpse of a peasant from [[Krezk]] who has been torn to pieces by wolves. He spots tracks. From what he could tell, someone ran into the woods and the wolves didn't chase them. ==== Krezk ==== The group arrives at the walled-in village of [[Krezk]]. There are guards on the wall. The group wants "[[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]" to do the talking and it doesn't go well. [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]/[[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] ends up asking what the business hours are for the monastery. The guards think [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is [[Saint Markovia]] and let the group in. We learn that the son of the "Burgermaster" of [[Krezk]] died. [[The Abbot]] brought him back to life, and then the son slashed his dad's throat. The Burgomaster is alive, but his vocal cords are cut and he can't speak. His wife speaks for him. The heroes further learn that the son fled into the woods, along with a peasant lady. The heroes realize that the peasant lady is the corpse the group found earlier. The Burgomaster's wife tells the group that [[the Abbot]] is nuts, and that when he resurrected their child, the child was different and evil. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] really doesn't want the Abbot to resurrect him. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]] tries to access [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]'s memories. Opposed charisma checks. [[ProJared|Jared]] rolls a 3 and thus loses, so no memory access for him. The group thinks about exploring the abbey. It's night, so they decide to rest and check out the abbey in the morning. They stay with the Burgermaster. At night, it's cold. The group sleeps on a wood floor. They can hear the Burgomaster's wife taking care of her husband downstairs. ==== The Abbey of St. Markovia ==== Next morning, the group heads to the abbey.Β Out of character, [[Chris Perkins|Chris]] asks [[ProJared|Jared]] if he is comfortable in [[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]]'s body or if he wants to find another vessel. [[ProJared|Jared]] says he's fine. As the group talks outside the abbey gate, a [[mongrelfolk]] woman with patches of fur and lizard scales on her body comes around a corner and offers to bury [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]'s body for them. Another [[mongrelfolk]] comes out, too. [[Strix]] gives them food she looted from the Burgomaster. The [[mongrelfolk]] let the group into the abbey. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] is carrying [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]'s corpse. [[Strix]] chucks a rock at a scarecrow. The group heads to the main building and knocks loudly. The only response is the sound of wings flapping. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] uses her boots to fly up and look over the wall. She sees fog swirling down there and spots a creature chained to a post. It's a [[mongrelfolk]] with bat wings. It's trying to fly off but it can't. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] calls to the chained [[mongrelfolk]]. She asks it if it is OK. It asks to be freed before its enemies come and kill it. It warns that its enemies are watching. [[Strix]] approaches the mongrel and tries to give it food, but it lunges and tries to attack her. Suddenly, bells begin to ring, followed by monstrous cries of "food!" The group hides. [[Strix]] turns over a horse trough and climbs underneath. [[Evelyn Marthain|Evelyn]] grabs [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]'s corpse and hides in a shed. [[Diath Woodrow|Diath]]/[[Paultin Seppa|Paultin]] hides in the well, holding onto the wall. The well is 80 feet deep... and he's not alone. That's where we stop.{{Episode nav|state=expanded}} [[Category:Episodes]]
