Session 47 - Escape or Die

by Jack

After being dragged out of the cell he shared with Winry, Rayland was taken into a chamber, and tortured by Torrax the Inquisitor. Torrax asked many questions concerning the location of the Torch of the Burning Sky, what the party knew about Trillith, and detailed information about Seaquen. Tightlipped through the pain, Rayland answered no questions, and was returned to his cell, missing a piece of his leg.
 
In Gallo's Fend, Jack, Myetharia and Bryn met with Lord Gallo, and learned of his plight. Ten thousand of King Steppengard's men marched toward the Fend, intent on capturing Gallo and bringing him back to Bresk. To ensure that he can gain victory against Steppengard and also keep the Alydi Gap held against the Ragesians, Gallo needed support from his neighbors Dashgoban and Timor. To gain their allegiance, Gallo needed proof of a Ragesian incursion through the Gap. Several guard towers along the Gap had gone dark, so Gallo asked that the remaining Protectors of the Pass to make their way to those guard towers. Their mission was to defeat any Ragesian squatters, and gather proof to bring to Dashgoban and Timor. Lending two of his best to the party (the knights Sir Sterling and Clara Astly), the Protectors plus two prepared for their journey.
 
Using all her available strength, Winry broke her shackles, and Rayland picked the locks on their cell, freeing Jinnis next. Fighting their way to escape, the three found themselves cornered by a skeletal creature, intent on consuming their flesh. Bravely, Jinnis sacrificed himself, allowing Rayland and Winry to escape into the sewers beneath the torture room. Once there, they were greeted by a grizzly sight - the corpse of their ally, Balan. Shaking off the trauma of the dungeon, the pair used Rayland's golden feather token, and left Bresk behind them.
 
As Rayland and Winry raced to Gallo's Fend, and Jack, Myetharia and Bryn charged into the Alydi Gap, deranged King Steppengard's forces marched, the future of Dassen hanging in the balance.
