OSAD Session 17 - Shake The Land
General Summary
Bren is sitting in her office talking to Laz and Kamar as Kamar demands Gwin must be killed due to her treachery. Bren permits Kamar to track her down.
Meanwhile, Von, Ali, and Zevna head towards Burialvale to meet with The Custodian, who turns out is the man who hired Von to rescue Ali. Once they arrive, The Custodian speaks with Ali in his manor and the two discuss the future. The Custodian reveals Bill is alive and has been rescued by him, but he has been unable to find Voyage. Ali and TC speak of war. There is a long back and forth between the two men, eventually coming to an agreement that they will work together to overthrow Finnian, with Ali wanting the people to rise up and help him take power and then establish an independent nation with a democracy. TC will help him by keeping the other houses at bay, in exchange for Ali's help and access to the weapon plans Ali has been making. Ali will have Beckett land and TC will do as he pleases elsewhere, the alliance will be strong still. TC tells Ali that Finnian's weakness is his hidden love for Bren.
TC tells Ali to gather his allies, to which Ali hires Von on the spot. While Ali waits for the chance to get to Finnian, he constructs weapons. TC scores tickets to Finnian's coronation, where he will become Lord Paramount of his father's lands. Ali leaves with the intention of bringing Bren along to weaken Finnian.
Von and Ali arrive in Seabreeze and talk with Bren. They form an alliance, with Von in her natural form keeping Bren from realising she used to be Gwin. The trio starts a propaganda campaign against Finnian, with this leading to some success, but most people are distracted by the festivities.
The trio infiltrates the ceremony, while doing so however, a wizard that spots that Ali is in disguise tells him to meet with someone in a church corridor after the ceremony. During Finnian's crowning, of which Archibald himself is there to do the honours, Ali and Von interject. Ali insults Finnian, accusing him of being a traitor, and insults the king for standing by him. Von and Ali are escorted out by guards and are brought to a local barracks, where some knights try to kill Ali and Von. They overpower them and barely escape, with guards looking for them everywhere.
Despite the commotion, Finnian is made Lord Paramount, and things continue onward after Ali and Von make their way into the city. A couple of hours later, Ali tells a crowd of his loyalty to the king and the people, officially revealing himself as a half-elf, and begins to stir change, when suddenly, an explosion goes off from the Seabreeze hold, where the ceremony was being held.
People, including Ali and Von, rush to see what has happened. They come across a grizzly sight, most of the Beckett lords and been vaporized or melted, with Finnian weeping while severely burned, mourning the loss of his children.
