Republic Group Session V Report

General Summary

The Republic Group Meets the Assembly of the 16 Territories of the Lolos Republic

• Illuamor and Estrella manage to find Tadashi and returns to the rest of the party on a Slugknee along with Scurra. Scurra is introduced to the rest of the party as a random clown who isn't meant to join them at all. The party enters the main government building of Glantry that holds the Assembly of the Sixteen Territories of the Lolos Republic. The 16 are not at all impressed with the party and can't believe they're supposed to be the heroes meant to spy on the Elysian Empire for them. The party starts to split and points out that Illuamor murdered a man, causing the Assembly to burst into a massive arguement over whether they were truly sent by Amarus.
• Illuamor trying to call Amarus as proof but only getting a dial tone didn't help matters.
• Illuamor is saved from being arrested by the Assembly when Oracle Karma enters and confirms that the party truly was shown to him in the vision sent by Amarus. Karma also states that if the party refuses to take on the quest of spying on the Elysian Empire to prevent war and gathering the crown pieces, that he would throw them all in prison. However, if they accepted the quest and returned alive, they would be heavily rewarded. Illuamor gives his word that he would do his best to help them.
• After the party leaves the Assembly, Estrella immediately tries to leave the party. When she tries to get onto the airship with everyone else, she slips and almost falls to her death until Illuamor saves her at the cost of his own life. Estrella ends up coming with them to return the debt.

The Republic Group Meets Canvas

• The Assembly of the Lolos Republic has a place prepared for The Republic Group to stay while waiting for the Transporter who can take them to the Empire, which happens to a tailor shop known as Arist-o-cut Tailors built into a mansion. They are let in by a half-Fae servant named Erendial and meet Canvas, one of the three siblings living in the mansion as well as the shop's tailor/cobbler. In his drunken state, Scurra falls on top of Canvas until his adopted brother, Borag, rushes into the room and helps Canvas up.

• Erendial returns to the room and drops a dish full of alcohol that Estrella requested after seeing the scene in front of him. He explains to Canvas that the party really is on official business from the Assembly. Canvas begrudgingly allows the party to stay since the mansion actually belongs to his father, who is currently traveling. Erendial takes them to their rooms where they meet Pema, Canvas and Borag's sister, and the one who handles the business side of the tailor shop.

SCURRA GOES MISSING

• Illuamor, Estrella, and Scurra leave dinner with Canvas and the others after Estrella sees that Erendial has a dagger hidden under his clothes. The three meet in Estrella's room and they send a Mushroom Sprite summoned by Illuamor to explore the mansion for them. The Mushroom Sprite is knocked out by someone and is unable to remember anything it saw when Illuamor and the others try to get it to lead them around. They find Tadashi drugged by pastries Erendial made that he stole from the kitchen. During their exploration, Scurra is suddenly grabbed by something and disappears without Estrella or Illuamor noticing. Scurra wakes up tied to a bed by Erendial, who reveals himself as the culprit behind everything. Erendial says he needed Scurra out of the way so he can get Illuamor and Inu.

ILLUAMOR GETS A VISION FROM YIVANNY, GODDESS OF DREAMS

• After Illuamor and Estrella find a portal hidden inside of the mansion, Illuamor sticks his head through and is pulled inside by a beautiful woman. He begins to see visions of a woman he once loved in his arms and begins to mourn her--until she runs a sword through his chest. The vision morphs into his research lab burning down around him while the woman laughs. She says that he was a fool for trusting anyone and that she's coming for him. Yivanny, the Goddess of Dreams, intercepts the vision and tells Illuamor not to loose hope or faith in others. Illuamor pulls back into his suspicious, distrustful thoughts until Yivanny snaps her fingers and sends him back to the room with Estrella.

SCURRA GETS A VISION FROM YIVANNY, GODDESS OF DREAMS

• While still strapped to the bed Erendial left him on, Scurra recieves a vision from Yivanny, the Goddess of Dreams, of his old clown troupe at the Colosseum. His troupe is obviously older, and in the arena is a red haired gladiator with one eye tearing down his opponents. Yivanny tells Scurra to find the gladiator along with the rest of his party in the Empire, and the rest will follow.
