Session: Mar.11th, 2024

by Eirlyssia Tsurovitchna

The good news - I was worried about breakfast for nothing. It ended up being a mostly mundane meeting, with Mother being completely civil, albeit a little awkward when the small talk ran out. The only thing interesting about the situation was when Lodern interrupted to tell Mother that myself and my group were at a dive bar in town. THAT certainly piqued my interest.
 
During that time Saanes, Mud, and Zun got a weapons demonstration for the guards on their close quarter bows, but it didn't sound like anything particularly interesting came of that. We all thought they were going to be magical, but Mud and Zun both got to shoot them and said they didn't think anything seemed out of the ordinary. So perhaps that's...good?
 
We decided once everyone was back together again that Elegant would use Etherealness to go into town and check on whether I was actually somehow in a random dive bar. I did have fun getting to use Alter Self to look like Elegant while he was gone, and thankfully, nobody came to check on Elegant during that time.
 
His return proved to be most interesting though. Apparently there IS someone, another female half-drow, calling herself Eirlyssia. She has a group of four backing her up, just like I do. Apparently she certainly looked quite similar to me, though not identical. Even more interesting, she was talking with her group about storming the manor. Well, burning the entire manor down. How they plan to do that, I don't know, but she did make it clear it was going to happen during my "birthday celebration", according to Elegant. She even mentioned casting Modify Memory on Lodern, which means we can't trust either of his reports that we heard.
 
What I don't like is the fact that she has a patron, seems to be keeping secrets from her group, and wants to get a note to father. Especially given that her name is Lanea - the same name as my grandmother on Father's side. This would imply that I have a half-sister I have never known about, and one who is planning to do something very similar to us, though by more forceful means.
 
The others want to contact them, to work together, since we seem to have the same goal. I don't like it. How long has she been pretending to be me? WHY is she pretending to be me, and not just herself? Why is she trying to contact Father? And the worse notion - if she has grandmother's name, is she closer with his side of the family? Did she get to know them growing up? Obviously, being named after grandmother, my father knows all about this. And that means he has some damn explaining to do.
