Session Twenty-Nine

"Break Out!"

RECAP : After making it into the Irrisen city of Algidheart with the assistance of Hans, a representative of the Heralds of Summer’s Return, the Party decided to meet with more representatives of the Heralds and Hans arranged a meeting. In the meantime, Nihlor, the Whisper, and Sir Alabaster decided to follow through with their agreed rendezvous to meet escaped witch Acacia in the Hanging Markets. Meeting Acacia and her great-aunt Odessa, the Party agreed to assist the rebellious witched in their plan to overthrow the current Witch Queen, Elvanna. Whether or not that agreement will be carried through remains to be seen.

Simultaneously, the Party have been dealing with the Heralds of Summer’s Return. The rebel group would like to trust the Party with their plans, so they have tasked them with the retrieval of missing agents who have not returned from a recent mission. After heading to the dilapidated village of Zaplava to meet with a Herald contact, it seems that the missing Herald agents have been captured by local authorities and taken to the nearby fortress of Volfast, a demon servant of the Witch Queens. After infiltrating Volfast’s fortress with Sabine under the guise of Beatrix, the Party managed to arrange for the surviving Herald agents to be brought out from the dungeon, but not before Volfast appeared. Seeing through Sabine’s guise, Volfast closed the heavy iron gates behind the Party, leaving them trapped!
