Session 2

3/22/2026

The adventure continues in the cavern. Tsubasa immediately questions the woman, Midnight Crystals, who appears to be a Daybreak caste Abyssal. Tsubasa oathbinds the Abyssal: letting her live so they can help each other and when it's over, answering the questions the Solars have. While they're debating, everyone hears a nasty retching sound coming from the north and the ankle-deep ichor raises to just below knee level. Kekoa and Rayna attend to Midnight Crystals as hungry ghosts appear from the north. Rayna bandages Crystal's leg. Chains hides to resestablish surprise. The hungry ghosts press on and Midnight Crystals asks them to trust and protect her, that she can take care of the immaterial hungry ghosts. She casts the Necromancy spell Emporer's Chains, binding them in place.

Seeing her opportunity once the ghosts are immobilized, Rayna begins to cast sorcery and soon the ghosts are blown apart by Flight of the Brilliant raptor. Susanoo, after combat, sends his robots to scout ahead. Ahead is a kind of workshop and an amalgum of corpses sewn together, a golem of human flesh. Frantically working on the golem is a Nephwrack, Stuttered Whispers. He thinks the intruders are offerings to his project, willing or otherwise, and attempts to persuade them to cast their souls into the Void.

Failing to sway anyone, Kekoa and Susanoo squash the Nephwrack while Chains has his meteor hammer wrapped in a grapple around the golem's one good leg. Stuttered Whispers was destroyed moments before he was to possess the golem using the charm, Embalmer's Art. Moments after the ghost's defeat, voices could be heard from the hole in the sewers--Enforcers who drop a rope ladder and ask the circle to meet with Shield of a Different Day, one of the three rulers of Great Forks. Midnight Crystals seems to have disappeared (possibly turning herself into a flock of bats).

The Solars are led to an empty barracks, which is given as free reign to use as a workspace. The next morning, they're transported to the Palace of the Three where they meet with the Dayshield. She thanks them for their help. She wants to trust them, but needs them to earn it; she gives them four tasks to complete to earn her trust. Finally, she grants them stay at one of the estates only a block away from the Palace. It's huge, furnished and rent-free--for now.

Session 1

2/22/2026

The adventure starts with the Solars in a Great Forks marketplace, around noon. The crowd around them begins to act strangely: half of the mortals are singing strange notes while the other half are violently attacking anything in their way. Great Forks'Enforcers rushed to break up the melee but those who were mortal entering the area were also affected. The Solars, Rayna the Witch, Tsubasa Haifeng, Chains, Kekoa and Susanoo, yet unknown to each other, dealt with the bedlam. After a short period of time, the chaos stopped, and the souls were visibly sucked out of the mortals in the square. Susanoo consecrated the area, creamating all the bodies, but felt that there was something missing. Tsubasa gathered the survivors to plan relief; Rayna, with her Charm, was able to see the souls disappearing into a sewer.

The Solars investigated the sewers, where they spot a strangely clad woman holding an Artifact running from them. After a chase, Susanoo smashes his Power Mace into the floor, causing the structure to crumble away, and a free fall to a cavern below. The woman broke her leg. There's a thick ichor, ankle deep. It's dark, and they know they're not alone.
