Session: July 24, 2023

by Eirlyssia Tsurovitchna

I'm still reeling from the morning. Brother Corbert called it a partial success. I wouldn't go that far. The only success that occurred was killing several of Dan'or'avil's men. That's it. Nothing else. They didn't catch Dan'or'avil, Garrin is worryingly injured, some of their members are dead, and they couldn't protect the fake Eirlyssia. Hell, THEY'RE the ones who killed her. And I can't help but feel partially responsible for that. She was pretending to be me. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have been in that position, and she wouldn't have died.
 
I remember the day that Garrin came to our tavern, and brought the fake Eirlyssia and Zun. I specifically asked. I asked him, "You're not planning on actually killing her right?" And he told me no, of course not, the Vorestheyra was going to protect them. And when I talked to her specifically, I said I had hoped she wasn't signing up to die. She responded with a laugh and an "I hope not!", but you could tell she had no thoughts that she'd be dying for me in that moment. They said they'd keep her safe. And it was Brother Corbert who murdered her. After everything she went through, and being held at knifepoint, dragged through hallways, beginning to fear for her life...he just killed her. There HAD to have been another way. I refuse to believe that the only solution that existed there was killing her with the rest of the Cult.
 
Mud's right. The longer we go, the more the Vorestheyra are beginning to sound like just another cult. They think they're the good guys. And I know they've been trying to help us, I can't overlook that. But they're holding Chaedove, they're keeping secrets, they were willing to kill their own member for "the greater good". That's not the sign of an organization that I want to fully align myself with. I hope Garrin recovers, I genuinely do. But when he does, I want answers, and I want justice.
 
The only real satisfaction that came from today was how angry Dan'or'avil was. We've never really seen him like that before, since we learned that his rage on the Isle was fake. I will treasure Saanes's description of Dan'or'avil looking absolutely decimated, despite knowing he's just going to chug a bunch of potions and heal himself immediately. But what's interesting to me is that he didn't know the plot about fake Eirlyssia, nor did he know/suspect who was scrying on him. I just always assumed he was one step ahead of us.
 
Even more interesting - he called Mother a bitch. "Regardless of what that bitch wants" were his exact words. This opens up an entire avenue of questions. Did he never actually love her? Was he just using her to get what he wanted (and if so, what was it he was trying to get)? Has something happened between them? He was obviously at the execution with the intent to bring me back to Mother. But now, having failed, he says he plans to kill me. This implies he will no longer be working with Mother, or if he is, he'll be playing her. While I love the idea of Mother getting played, it raises some concerns on my part.
 
Life was a little easier when I thought Dan'or'avil had switched from wanting to kill me to wanting to capture me. They were working together, so I could treat them as one enemy. But now if he's back to wanting to kill me and not working with Mother, it means we have to be on the lookout for two different psychopaths who want two different things. And I have no doubt in my mind Dan'or'avil is IMMEDIATELY going to look to our group. While I look different, I don't think it's going to take him long to think "Huh, what are the chances the group that used to be six is still six, just with a different minotaur and half-elf - that seems suspiscious".
 
What I really want to know though, is why does he hate me so much??? On the Isle I certainly wasn't nice to him, but we broke the crystal rod like he wanted us to. The only thing I did to him was refuse to let him take Mortalis away. Once he captured us on the mainland, I didn't even do anything to him, but he told me twice how much he wanted to kill me. Now he got tricked by the Vorestheyra, and somehow he's even MORE dead-set on killing me. What the hell???
