Session: June 3rd, 2024

by Eirlyssia Tsurovitchna

I appreciate Saanes's friendship. While I feel like I'm on okay terms with most of the group, Saanes makes me feel like I'm actually a friend. That's a rare thing in my life. Everyone chastises me about my decisions, and they're very quick to judge - especially Zun. But no one ever asks me how I am, or what led me to those decisions. So I appreciate that Saanes asked me those things. He asked me what my next steps were, and how I was doing...you have no idea how refreshing it was to have someone ask me how I was doing.
 
I was also able to admit to him that I'm worried Mortalis might become a problem. It felt good to get those words out to someone who isn't going to judge me for it, or say a pointed "I told you so" like I know Zun would. Saanes just listened, and that's a gift.
 
Our trial was also...easier? Than I thought it would be. The Magistrate seems kind enough - firm but reasonable. Much like the inquisitors from the royal prison. She had a mage with her named Dor Tegan, some sort of cleric I believe, who also seemed to be nice enough. Since they cast Zone of Truth and then a Silence spell, we were only able to see each other's 'interrogations', but not actually hear anything that went on. Though they did inform us first that Lodern had caught up to Cordyn and killed him, which was both strange and surprising to me. Why is Lodern taking that upon himself? He doesn't have Mother to work for anymore...so bizarre.
 
They seemed mostly uninterested in Zun, which is not entirely a surprise, seeing that Zun wasn't actually upstairs with us when anything happened. Mud's questioning also seemed to go smoothly enough, though he did let us know what he had said so we could continue on those lines. Elegant's was interesting - not for the questions they asked, because I don't know what those were, but because Dor Tegan was watching Elegant extremely closely. Not in a suspicious way, more like an intrigued way? It was strange. Saanes's questioning seemed to be a little more difficult, as it seemed like they were asking different questions than what they'd asked the others so far.
 
When it was my turn, I was quick to ask Dor Tegan about Elegant, but he mostly brushed it off. Tried to make it sound like he was just a fan, but I could tell that was by no means the full truth. But they began my questioning, and I'll be honest - I'd been really worried. I considered being as tight-lipped as possible, or being as deceptive as possible...but if I learned anything from my time with the inquisitors back at Count Peyton's, it was that being purposefully deceptive to people whose job it was to get information never led to anything good. So, in what felt very uncomfortable, I decided to go for honesty. And, I think, it served me well. At the end of my session the Magistrate said that things were actually appearing to be in our favour, which is certainly more hopeful than I'd anticipated.
 
She dismissed us, saying she'd let us know the verdict tonight. I told Elegant Dor Tegan wanted to chat with him, which I don't know that Dor Tegan appreciated, but they went off to talk by themselves afterwards so...you're welcome, Dor Tegan. Broke the ice for you.
 
I'm hoping tonight I can convince people to attempt to free Norav from Dan'or'avil's mind. Saanes is certainly on board with it. I just have to cast Sending to try to get Dan'or'avil to agree to meet me in a Dream spell, so I can try to both distract him and ask my burning questions while the others try to Dispel Magic on Norav. It's a long shot, I know, but if it works...it could certainly help us in the long run!
