The Wedding
Final Touch Ups
Keeping watch over the last-minute preparations was Leuklen as tables got set up and decorum was finalized. Yohgrï managed to reclaim the Arcanum Infinitum and ran from Henri's pursuit to get it back. Because of the ceremony itself starting, Yohgrï managed to keep the book.
For now...
The Ceremony
The ceremony began with Tenerian being walked down the aisle by Rasmus acting as the best man. Once the time came, Mirmeia walked Kellistra down the aisle. Once the two met, Leuklen reluctantly gave the opening and moved on to what the two had to say for the other.
Kellistra: When I first saw you, Tenerian, I knew I wanted you. Despite everything, my dear fiancé, here we are. I had hoped this day would have come sooner but circumstances have tried to keep us apart on many occasions. But look at us now, one happy couple, just you and me. Surely you have something to say to that.
Tenerian just looks at her sternly with narrowed eyes, saying nothing.
Kellistra grins, “Always the silent, stoic type, aren’t you? You don’t have to say anything, I know deep down we’ve been together so many times that you thought you needed space from me. But no… you couldn’t get enough of me. You would always come back. That’s when I knew us being wedded would just make it more official, if not more pleasant.”
She turns to the blether, “Leuklen, if you would please.”
The blether swallows, “Through the inscrutable gifts bestowed from Ilkrichyurl to me, I declare thee both husband and wife. Hurrah for the newlyweds…”
Many begin to clap, some applause lasting longer than they should, afraid of stopping.
After Party
One of the party events that Yohgrï attended was everyone gathering in a circle. Being placed into the center is a rabid, four-legged demon where its head splits open to reveal (somewhat) sharp teeth. Everyone boldly stuck their leg out, goading to be chosen. Well, Yohgrï got his leg bit by the creature, signifying he will be wedded next.
What the party noticed is that everyone of the city is here, gathered around. This meant they could infiltrate the other Despoilers with ease to see what their secrets are. Clovis stayed behind to help the attendees distracted, posing as a Barovian noble.
Leuklen
Henri went into a massive aberrant beast to find a strange globule that psychically tethers to Leuklen. Dispatching it, it rendered Leuklen far weaker as he realized he wasn't truly in control of his power and was merely just a mortal puppet for the Shepard of the Flotilla to do its will. After all, Kellistra was the one who suggested he dispatch his maker to pursue unbound knowledge and power.
Mirmeia
Abbott infiltrated Mirmeia's manor and managed to reach her room. There, he uncovered three bodies and their restless spirits. Through some investigation, he uncovered that these three were friends of Mirmeia. Looking through a journal, he uncovered that these friends were very wealthy and yet, Mirmeia was poor and starving. Kellistra came to her, suggesting that she turn on them, using their vast wealth to no longer know hunger or the cold barren streets. With deep remorse, she did so.
Abbott managed to leave as Mirmeia returned and uncovered the open door. The last thing he heard was Mirmeia screaming bloody murder, "FORGIVE ME!"
Rasmus
Yohgrï got into the underbelly of the city and found Rasmus' quarters. Inside was Rasmus' son, Gunther, sitting within a glittering red barrier. Curious, Yohgrï broke the seal and took Gunther with him.
Aftermath
The party regrouped after their antics and Yohgrï quickly urged to Clovis that he has a kid and they ought to run. Clovis, having flashbacks to when his own brother, Tastarn, got abducted, became furious about abducting a child. So, Clovis took Gunther and ran for Rasmus' lair, being pursued by Yohgrï.
