Today went from 100 and straight back to 100 again. I started off the day getting used as a punching bag at the guard house - thanks to Denoravil who framed me for the murder of multiple guards, got rescued and taken to Vorestheira headquarters where it turned out Garin was alive the entire time, was informed we’d have to fake my death, met back up with the rest of the group (thank goodness they were all unharmed - with the obvious exception of poor Zun who was getting his strength back after some hearty food), began to plan how to trap Denoravil at my own execution, and THEN was told that MY MOTHER was the one holding Chompy’s family hostage and our next mission was to go there and rescue them. What. The. Hell.
In other interesting points, Garin mentioned that it was Mortalis who turned Denoravil crazy. I don’t know that that’s entirely true, but I certainly plan to ask him later tonight. A bit concerning. We at least managed to avoid mentioning to Garin that I am currently in possession of said evil sentient weapon.
My other concern is how much my ex-patron is going to get in my way. If he was the one who led Denoravil here, it means he knows where I am. If we go to fake execute me, and I’m actually on my way to my mother’s, is he going to know that and tip off Denoravil? Or my mother? It’s going to ruin everything if we get there and she’s just waiting for us. I can only hope that my ex-patron is more interested in the chaos me showing up will cause than in getting some petty revenge.
