Session 10 - Death All Around Report

General Summary

Invited to attend an execution, the party followed Grand Tailor Levinorus across the Palisade Quarter into the Round, where they split up to view the event from different areas.   Mithiope and Morrow chose to join the Emperor and Grand Tailor in their private viewing balcony, whereas Lonehunter and Baern elected to use the public seating. Ace, for his part, chose to investigate the underlevel of the Round.   Ace soon discovered that the Deva the party encountered in the prison was being held there, seemingly impaled and slowly dying from a mysterious substance. After doing what he could to tend to the angel, Ace left hastily to rejoin his fellow adventurers.   Mithiope and Morrow enjoyed the finer things while Baern and Lonehunter discussed whose last name would suit them best.   An illusory copy of the Grand Tailor performed an execution of an illusory copy of the deva before the crowd, decrying the truth-seeker as an enemy of the empire. Other summary executions followed suit, before the Deva emerged from the underpit and challenged the Grand Tailor in the open.   Mithiope and Morrow watched as the two duelled, before the Grand Tailor began to work a weaving. Strangely, Mithiope and Morrow were able to actually see the threads tying weavings together and also see the Grand Tailor manipulating them. In an instant, it appeared that the two combatants had swapped places. Morrow and Mithiope did their best to heal the Deva and harm the Grand Tailor, unknowingly doing the exact opposite that they intended.   Baern, Ace, and Lonehunter were accosted by the Fae Beast, as well as a gargoyle, before ending up outside the balcony where the Grand Tailor and the Deva had been engaged in a fight.   Ace managed to decapitate the Grand Tailor, only for it to be revealed that that was actually the Deva, and the cowering angel was in truth, the Grand Tailor.
