Aghi helps me expand the range of the Dream spell, so that I can bring the others with me into Hadrian's mind. André stands watch over the three of us while we attempt to contact Hadrian. In Riven's mom's study, I set up three sleeping bags in the center of the dimly lit rustic study, and gesture for Faolan & Aghi to lay down. We reach Hadrian in a psychedelic ego-death dream, with no functioning concept of self.
Faolan shouts out in the dream. "Hadrian!"
After 10 minutes (Arcana check tells me that some of this is him regaining a sense of self), a reply. "Oh, intruders in my subconscious." Faolan negotiates with Hadrian to prove that his "good of the realm" is causing immense pain and suffering. We show him the chaos in the streets of Antiokus, the suffering at the Vatinius household, and the refugees from Mysteria. It seems to make some impression on him, as he states he has to think. We leave the dream state on a montage of all the suffering we've witnessed due to his actions.
Andre contacts Anwyn via sending. She informs him that the weather did briefly change, but we would have to talk more in person to establish if it had any relation to our actions.
We teleport to Antiokus to meet with Anwyn. She tells us that the weather's chaos was approximately 4 hours ago, and that it was like there was an internal struggle going on.
We recon occupied Mysteria. We can see evidence of an explosion at the Jade Temple, and I wild shape into a hawk to get more details. Unfortunately, I can't tell when the explosion happened - before or after our dream with Hadrian. Jim is running to and fro organising the army coming out of the gateway. The Master is on his throne (or what I assume).
André casts sending to Hadrian. "Was that disruption in the weather you?". He says from a certain point of view, and that he physically can't leave Mysteria. We move to Antiokus again and inform Anwyn about our current plan to figure out where Hadrian is on Mysteria and get him away from the Master, which is what the Oracle said we needed to do.
Dream no. 2
Hadrian explains that he is unable to leave because he's imprisoned in the throne room by the Master. Everyone minus one holds an action to attack the Master, and after Hadrian is beheaded we attack the Master. We set out to the Knights of the Argent Raven to get some help, to get some healing potions, and to contact Riven for backup.
