Session: Feb. 13, 2023

by Eirlyssia Tsurovitchna

Leave it to Corin to accidentally give up the one thing I was trying to avoid telling Garren. Sigh. I knew if he found out about Mortalis he wouldn't understand. Yes, Mortalis is associated with Dan'or'avil. And yes, it kind of sounds like he made him crazier. But that's the key - crazIER. It sounds like the man already had psychopathic tendencies, and Mortalis just brought them out a little further. I, on the other hand, am not already a psychopath, so we don't NEED to worry in the same way. But now both Zun and Garren are on my case about it, which is annoying. Mortalis is not one of the problems we have at hand. An actual PROBLEM is the fact that Ahzek is trying to become more powerful than Cor'nate. Or that Malzod is sitting just outside the city. Or that my mother has Chompy's family and my father hostage. Or that she has one of the crystal rods that open the bloody gates to hell. Those are all real problems. Whether my patron is evil is old news - Zun's lover is a bounty hunter who gets paid to murder and takes orders from a FIEND!!! How is that ANY different? Anyway...more pressing matters.
 
It was at least interesting to find out that the copy of the execution hall Dan'or'avil got his hands on isn't actually a real copy. I was so worried there were more moles inside the Vorestheira, but it appears this was actually a plant, so thank goodness for that. I'm hoping we can get Saanes a crystal ball before we leave town, because I so desperately want to be able to watch what unfolds when Dan'or'avil tries to kidnap the wrong Eirlyssia and a bunch of Vorestheira and DRAGONS??? are there to stop him. That sounds entertaining as hell. I'll admit though, as confident as Garren is, a small part of me is still greatly concerned they won't catch him. And if he escapes, AND has a secret passage to my mother...I'm just really hoping we don't come across him when we go to confront her. We don't have the strength required to defeat both of them. I'm also hoping my stupid ex-patron isn't petty enough to continue to send Dan'or'avil straight to me. I think he did it the one time, just to be a jerk. I don't even know if he can actually see me now that we're separated. I certainly hope not, because that would have a lot of terrifying implications I don't know how to deal with.
 
But besides Dan'or'avil, and that whole mess, while it took a few tries, I was not expecting to be able to scry on Malzod! It's hard for me to gauge based on what Mud - who knows very little of magic - says about how strong Malzod is. So when he mentioned wanting to cast Sending to goad him into a fight - I was all for it. Any time I get a chance to take on someone who deeply hurt one of my friends, it's just so refreshing. Especially someone who is also evil. It just feels like I'm making the world a little better when I can help remove the offending party, you know? I'm very excited to be able to have this fight before we have to leave for our journey.
 
Means we also have to have a fancy clothes fitting, which I'm less excited about. I was always forced to wear fancy, pretty things when I was living at home, to uphold our "obvious higher standard of living", according to my mother. I've enjoyed not being forced to dress up. But I just keep reminding myself - it's all part of the ploy. Wear the fancy clothes. Go to the party. Get Elegant and/or Ny'ell hired to play at my mother's. Storm the house. Save the people. Kill my mother. This plays a part in that, and so I will dress up, and I will try to revel in it.
