The Trail of the Devil

05/07/2022

  • The group spent the night at the Setting Sun on May's recommendation, where their focus on calm and relaxation gave them all a pleasant night's rest.

  • After grabbing some "biscuits and chedda" for breakfast, they started out to the House of Ionlann to contact Drimble's friend named 889.

  • Along the way, they met a man who brought them to an underground chamber where people sat on pillows floating in shallow water while ingesting blue goop from the Longshore Flower to open their minds to the divine

    • The man explained he had visions of Leif and Eliza having a rift of some kind over Leif's obsession with another figure, and no one would listen to him

    • Eden changed into the woman the group saw at Tyr's Gate, which frightened a man, claiming it was the image of Visuvius

    • The group was asked to leave so as to not bring the goddess of discord's attention to their locale

    • During this time, the group discovered Gift had records in other voices concerning the gods and goddesses of creation

  • The group continues on their way to the House of Ionlann where they learned 889 was out on assignment and had not checked back in on time the day before. The group was sent to find him at an abandoned mansion once owned by a man named Constance

  • Arriving on the ground, they found 889 skewered by a spike of black iron and his flesh stripped for an ink creature, presumably once again made by The Consulate and Farrow

  • Searching the basement, they found a room with a door depicting the fields of Elysium locked through a display of faith

    • Eden ingested some Longshore goop, which made her feel like she was a child of Elysium, and opened the door

  • Within, the group found an angelic entity guarding a note written by a father to his son

  • Defeating the entity, which tried to kill them for trespassing, they took the note, but couldnt discern the writer or intended recipient
