EP28: Rude Awakenings

A brief melee betwixt the Fellowship and the Death Tammy erupts, wherein Caepio repeatedly rages at the lack of honor the defenders of Juramentum display.

Furious at having been psychically bound by Weisa, Capio reaches to grab her. Weisa responds with a strike from her staff meant to break his legs. A brief melee betwixt the Fellowship and the Death Tammy erupts, wherein Caepio repeatedly rages at the lack of honor the defenders of Juramentum display. Merick bear hugs, Caepio beginning to crush his ribs in Despite Lord Titus ordering Merick to stand down twice, the intransigent Kithgi ignores his rightful commander, demanding repeatedly that Caepio ask nicely to be released. The situation devolves into Titus is having to pry Merick off of Caepia with his own hands, which he successfully does. Merick declares that his own personal dignitas was at risk. The Fellowship eventually make their way to the small temple that Lord Lepidus Zosh and his people used to use and likely constructed there. Weisa, Marcus and especially Nilishli investigate the still sacred space for clues as to the name of the guardian of the cathedral as well as other past history. Nilishli manages to catch a glimpse of Lord Zosh praying in the very spot, not directly to the Lord of Light, but rather to Jason Tenderheart as an intermediary. Weisa at last recalls that the scroll which her mentor Publia left to lead her to the island contains vital information. Indeed, upon rereading it, the Storm Warden's name is clearly written Tessarun Would prior knowledge of his name change the Guardian's disposition? Impossible to know now. As night descends, the party makes the faithful decision to sleep deeply, thus guaranteeing that young Jason, still in Borolas camp, will enact his desperate plan to delay the Kray's chosen Patrician and all of his men. No later than dawn during the night a sulking Merick sleeps away from his companions and thus the spiritual protection of the temple. As a result, shadowy moisture stealing darklings assault whilst he slumbers. 2 attach to his head and he runs back into the temple, dislodging one. Nilishli invokes a ray of desiccation and pain, freeing him from the second, whilst Caepiel destroys a third that had also flown at Merick. In the pre dawn gloom, the Fellowship make their way to a lost village, the site of terrible deeds in the past. As they arrive that catch sight of a being both horrifying and magnificent at once. A green dragon.
