Students of Life & Death #11

• Ths Students decided to leave the problem of the overfed and newly complacent Petera to Sir Sam and Tawhito, who ensured the group they could get the beast back down the River Pryce to Trine

• Gore wrestled with the Divinaxiom, which wanted to go back to Lot and strip the god of his powers. Gore paid a heavy prive for his disobedience and unwillingness to cooperate with the artifact

• The group left Thalassa and sped towards Wayward, arriving in time to learn the Rher's had left town once they'd heard Jarro's warning

• The Students found a sad and destitute Elder Talindra on the beach, the city devoid of Dawn Chasers, and the entire place a mess of discarded refuse and trampled terrain

  • Talindra's head had been shaven and he explained the town had been working non-stop for four days to create vessels for the Dawn Chasers

  • The group have him the chest they'd retrieved from his villa, which contained magical wood carving tools given to him from Eve Galdarion, too little too late

• The Students spotted Middalah Devir advancing on Wayward and bought horses and new clothes, following the Rher's north out of town

  • They found the dwarves on the road to Ology, and upon presenting the armor to Thothrind, cured him of the Voice, reuniting him with his wife

• The celebration was short lived as, that evening at their camp, the group was approached by Middalah, who had caught up with them

  • She had no reason to slay Thothrind now that he was cured, but she presented a warning to the group: fight back against the will behind the Voice; don't be a puppet to its whims.

• She left the group in peace and the Rhers returned to Wayward the next morning. The Students of Life and Death were at last free of obligations, and had an open road before them.
