Shattered Stone

The party set out first thing in the morning to reach the Hospital on Roi's highest hill, using red-sigil passes Eren acquired overnight. To help some of her companions get through the Hospital's gate, Kyllikki scratched at the mark on her wrist with a fervor, remembering the bartender's reaction the night before. With Chiron and Pella, she was directed to the Hospital's clinic, where she quickly began to regret her decision.
 
Kyllikki panicked when grabbed by one of the nurses and instinctively lashed out. She was forced into a straight jacket and drawn deeper into the Hospital, her anxiety growing exponentially along the way. Chiron tried to fight off the guards, but was subdued with a syringe to the neck and dragged away. Desperate, Kyllikki tried to run and bit the nurse once recaptured. Dr. Myrin scheduled a lobotomy, claiming that this would "fix" Kylli, but the idea only served to upset her further.
 
Pella and Kyllikki were taken to a ward room with another patient and locked in. The Duyen woman seemed crazy when the nurses could see her, but quickly dropped the act when the three were alone, introducing herself as Samorn. She said she had been at the Hospital for a long time, and was trying to find the panther that had been taken from her. After a stressful few hours, a guard came to escort all three to another part of the Hospital, where they were reunited with most of the party. Chiron remained missing.
 
In searching the doctors' offices and comparing notes, the party learned that Dr. Sang may have been tricked by an Atu called The Hanged Man, while Dr. Myrin was potentially corrupted. Someone put a stone from Dr. Sang's desk into a slot at the top of a mirror, in hopes of summoning the Atu. In that moment, Samorn revealed the mark on her arm that proved her to be the Princess of Wands, the last member of the Court of Eight. The Hanged Man escaped the mirror, but appeared in every reflected surface in the room. Kyllikki couldn't tremorsense him. Ultimately, Sah-Ghan shattered the mirror with an ice knife, returning the Hanged Man to the stone.
 
Unnerved by the Atu, Eli summoned Vale to ask for advice. Nyx appeared as a specter, but not as the party knew her. She claimed to have imprisoned the Atu within the mirror, and emphasized that the party could not defeat it. They were sent to this place to find someone in the suit of Swords. There were 21 Atu, 12 of which Nyx had her hands on at some point. To defeat it, the party would need to release it from its gem and fight it somewhere well lit.
 
Dr. Sang and Dr. Myrin returned to the office, and Kyllikki threw an ink pot at the latter, furious at what he had tried to do to her. Splattered with ink, Myrin transformed into a monster and attacked. When Kyllikki entered a rage, she found herself surrounded by the spectral forms of her ancestors, warriors to defend her companions. On delivering the killing blow, she declared "I am not broken", understanding at last what Pella had tried to tell her. A new mark burned into her left arm, a "vi" to represent the defeat of Myrin. Mollye offered words of comfort on seeing Kyllikki break down into tears, saying that her ancestors and clan were surely proud of her. In return, Kyllikki offered her friendship.
 
To repent for his actions and the actions of his staff, Dr. Sang offered the party supplies and a place to take a much-needed rest.
