Session 20

General Summary

20th Day of Julista

The party arrived at the village of Krieksburg so Sandro could "meet" this person he convinced the group he needed to. Since they didn't know anything about "Rudulfo" they went to the Mug or Monk Inn to asked around. The barkeep did not know this person, but advised Sandro to check out the Invalid's Dormitory in town which was run by a Priest of Ilmater, God of Endurance . There they met Apostle Mary, who did not know Rudolfo, but suggested Revered Father Ignacio might. Sandro chatted with the Revered father who seemed very interested in exactly why Sandro wanted to chat with Rudolfo. Sando was as coy as possible, but did sprinkle a few details of truth. Eventually, the father said he would contact Rudulfo and arrange a meeting later that day. So Sandro and the party headed to the to meeting spot and waited. Eventually, the Revered Father walked up to the meeting spot. He asked Sandro if he was a follower of Tyr, God of Law and Justice and if he was to judge Rudolfo. Sandro said yes; and Father Ignacio revealed he was Rudolfo. His barbaric actions eventually led to a breaking point, and he fled the merc life. He sought out the temple of Shar, Goddess of Darkness and Loss where he learned to come to terms with his past, erased his violent memories and was reborn as Ignacio. He then left for the temple of Ilmatar to carry out a penance for his sins. The Dormitory, Hospital and Orphanage was his attempt to redeem his form self's actions. But, he knew justice would eventually seek him out, and he accepted the punishment coming. Sandro, strong in his conviction, stated Ignacio would pay for his past crimes; but offered to cover the remaining cost of the new constructions so Ignacio would know his vision would eventually come true. Ignacio asked Sandro to take a key to Mary, which he agreed to. Then justice was carried out. Sandro did what was asked of him, leaving the key with Mary and the party left for Pruessmount .

When the party arrived in Pruessmount, they decided to seek out Felix Tanziver as he might be able help them get oriented in the city. They headed to his house, and learned a lot. First, what the The Diablerie was, Anja Lugerritz backstory, and the truth about the False-Emperor Krex Weiberknochen . Felix also advised them on the best way to gain entrance to the Palace and meet Princess Monika II of Pruessmount . With the necessary information collected; the party headed to the palace.
There they meet the Steward; Embry Reusswald who vetted their story, and arranged the meeting with the Princess. The party revealed the entire plot; the Alessian Artifcacts, The Necromancy, Neohaergur , the mercenaries etc. This obviously unsettled the Princess, who recognized the previously unknown group; The Golden Lance. She decided to take immediate action by bringing the evidence to the Primrose committees attention, and hopefully drag those responsible in front of a judge. She asked the party to stay in the city until her legal team could develop their strategy and arrange the meeting.
While Sandro headed to window shop overpriced magical items, Dirt and Balthazar headed to the Northrunn Inn to see if their friend Bob was there. They found Bob, who had a new lease on life and was living it to its fullest extent. Bob happily shared what he had learned. A headhunter tracked Desmond to a local trade guild house; however a large fight erupted there and Desmond hasn't been seen since. Bob said he heard rumors a Drow woman was involved; more than likely Kerelei .
That night Sandro was once again whisked away to the domain of Talista, The Nemesis Justicar . She praised Sandro for carrying out her will against Rudulfo, and the aggrieved spirits could ascend. However, she once again cautioned him about falling to the bloodlust of Malar, God of Bloodlust and Savagery . She asked a simple question; what did Sandro want from her. Sandro was resolute; avenge his brothers so their spirits could ascend. Talista replied simply; then you shall have it.
