Entry 8 ( session 14, 15,16)

by Aretreya

We got a room at the dragon cellar for one week. Taking a much-needed break we decided to go to a bathhouse East of the docks shopping across the street from the bathhouse and visit the blacksmith. we found out that the purifiers use weight and as a shipping hub in a patrol comes on weekly. while at the dragon cellar we found some like minded people that call themselves the blessed circle. Grillia, Walter, Starky, and Parnell. Parnell was put on this path by Soton, Soton asks of him to disrupt purifiers and has given him a couple locations of some keeps dismantling one is up in the mountains an one is in the fields they decided on the mountains while we decided on the field. when they arrived there, they said it was empty so we told him to turn around and come back that we could use their help.
 
we decided that the best form of attack would be to disrupt one of their shipments going into the keep in the fields. We would ambush the delivery and bring it ourselves. Part one of the plan went off without a hitch but as we decided to rest and continue to morning we were then ambushed. Purifiers had found us an easily overpowered us all I knew is I had to get back to vivi which we left at a camp a little way away. I decided I popped out my wings slip the grasp of my captor and flew back as quickly as I could knowing full well that hingle Flynn and my brother were in danger. But I needed to protect Vivi she had no one else.
 
When I got back to her Starkey had a pocket dimension of some kind that she rescued us in. They agreed to stay with V well I went and tried to break the others out. they gave me a potion very generously considering they had not perfected the recipe to replicate it that would somehow allow me to say exactly what I needed to say to get my family out. We were attacked again but a Drown saved us. He also had a bone to pick with the purifiers but was not willing to go into the keep saving people that might already be dead. The blessed circle turned me invisible and got me close but getting out was on me.
 
As I snuck into the keep, I saw Minnie with Hingle getting a satchel of coins from the guards and then taking off free and clear. I was enraged by their treachery, but I needed to find my brother and Flynn. I found the tent where they were keeping my brother and an old guy in purifier robes was grilling Tacitus trying to get information out of him about where I've might be. He did not seem that concerned figuring my brother would be bait. when my brother was alone, I learned Flynn’s fate.
 
When the time was right, I drank the potion. it was such a surreal experience I had never felt anything like it before it was like I was outside of my own body watching it act of its own. I said that I was an agent of the pact and that the capture of Tacitus and Flynn was a disappointment and then I needed to let him and any other prisoners free immediately and be allowed to leave with our cart. Somehow that worked, they gave me Tacitus and sent me on my way.
 
With my family somewhat intact we headed for the abandoned keep in the mountains and had made the decision to fortify it develop it and call it our home in hopes that we would have a base to bring people who are also against the purifiers to.
