Session date: 18th April 2026

Teasel

  • She’s being casual and mischievous, but Fugue + Fletcher’s Insight check suggests she’s nervous
  • Fletcher persuades her to sit down with us
  • She tells us she was watching us & reporting back to Hex, who’s supposedly looking for things to steal
  • “Hex wouldn’t do anything to me, they’re my friend.” - Insight: moment’s hesitation.
  • Q: How many are there in Hex’s gang?
  • A: Some.
  • She refuses to tell us where their base is, but eventually offers to take us to Hex

Outside the Honeybee

  • We go out through the other door to avoid the Cloakers, but fail the stealth checks so we wind up in combat anyway
  • Following combat, Fletcher gathers ingredients from the Cloakers’ corpses (yay brain juice!) - Malachi helps. Also puts some brain juice on Pandemonium.
    • Ingredients for 3rd Fire Breath potion
  • Investigation checks to look around:
    • Fugue finds 3gp
    • Pan finds two bottles of mystery liquid
    • Mal finds 100gp, which she pockets
    • Fletcher finds a hatch in the floor in one house, locked with an Arcane Lock spell

Basement

  • Mal unlocks the Arcane Lock on the hatch, we call the others over, & head down
  • Fletcher spots a trap; Mal disarms it
  • The basement is an impromptu study, papers strewn about, a desk in the corner, and a winged skeleton in the other
  • The symbol of Halia - a six-pointed star - is scrawled on the papers over and over, running off the pages
  • There is a circle for ritual casting & divination
  • A book that has been ruined on purpose, pages covered in ink
  • Two books on historical art - one on Halian art and one of Celestial art
  • We put the skeleton in the bag of holding and leave

Mush Room:)

  • Teasel leads us to a passage filled with incandescent mushrooms
  • Mal is acting skittish, Pan gets all the way across
  • When Fletcher is halfway across, Teasel Misty Steps the rest of the way and triggers the explosion, killing herself in the process
  • Everyone but Mal takes heavy fire damage
  • Fletcher is particularly badly hurt - Pan grabs her and hauls her back to the party
  • We head back to camp

Camp

Fletcher Backstory

  • We all crowd into Fletcher’s tent to chat
  • Fletcher was kicked out of Blackstaff Academy for unethical/illegal experiments
  • Her family went into debt & Sebastian offered her a way out

Catchup

  • Fugue tells Mal what he found out from Paris - there was rebel activity before the Dzemaels moved to the city after the Collapse, but they weren’t affected
  • Venus’s connection with Vesta isn’t as simple as she’s making it out to be

Crafting

  • Fletcher crafts some potions with the ingredients she’s found:
    • 1 Greater Healing
    • 1 Fire Breath

Paris

  • Fugue goes to chat with Paris - Paris asks him to ask Pan who killed Art

Hellbooze

  • Pan & Mal pose the skeleton in Fugue’s tent, sitting in a chair with a drink in its hand
  • Mal then passes out in Pan’s tent (GTA WASTED screen) so Pan goes to sleep in her bed
  • Fugue comes to Mal’s tent to talk to her, runs into Pan instead
  • Kaylin ALSO comes to speak to her, finds Pan instead :)
    • He finds her the next night, tells her that if she’s looking for someone who got taken they seem to show up unharmed on the 4th level or deeper (alarm bells?)
  • Pan & Riza spar - Pan wins yippee !

Speak With Dead

  • We finally speak with dead the skeleton

Note

Question: Did you forsee the Collapse? Answer: I saw death, all consuming, the glowing star, the seventh soul. His highness, last of seven, heart of a dying star. Question: Why lock yourself in the basement? Answer: I saw them coming after me, knowing I knew, so I hid. Studied. Prayed. Lost myself to the darkness, the eyes, the eyes, the eyes… Question: Who was coming after you? Answer: The Crown, the darkness, I cannot stop them, so I hid. Question: Who are you? Answer: I am Ramie, a follower of Savras, a seer of strings. Question: Why draw the royal crest over and over? Answer: At first, my lord guided me to the library, the restricted section, the celestials. The myth of the Golden City, lost to time, lost to all of us. There is a thread of fate connecting us, and he revealed it to me that I might follow. And so I did. I saw. The burning star that would end us all.

  • Mal looks through the books:
    • the Halian art book is dog eared, heavily annotated every time the Halian crest comes up
    • the Celestian book is about art from the Golden City, with the symbol of the 6-pointed star
  • Pan recalls hearing about Zenith, a place on the Celestial plane thought to be a myth, referred to as the Golden City

Next Day

  • Arran (one of the scouts) has gone missing - we go out looking for him
  • Find an abandoned temple to Selune
    • Silver magic touches Fugue before Shar’s shadows drive it back
  • A single undead kneels at the base of the statue to Selune in a beam of moonlight
    • This is Kivia’s brother, Marcoh Rosenz
    • He mentions that Lady Cordelia sent Kivia out personally to Medura
  • There is a 6-pointed star painted on the ground
  • Investigating, we find several silky crimson threads on one wall, which Fugue identifies as belonging to some kind of monster
  • Fletcher finds a pile of Bits - exoskeleton, a husk, which she identifies as belonging to a hook horror
  • Mal concludes that someone has been here recently - a humanoid, very recent
  • We run into a pack of Hook Horrors
  • After killing them & exploring, we find a letter addressed to Juno & sealed with the royal crest, and a diary written in Celestial
