Campaign

Session 6: Moonlight on the Vines

While the Phaeros Foundation were traveling via Lightning Rail north from Ghault, Aundair, the train was stopped abruptly. Alongside Operative V, Operative IV attacked the Phaeros Foundation. She displayed staggering combat abilities, as well as a strange dragonmark on her palm that produced smoke and was able to immediately knock Marcella unconscious.

Session 7: Marked

Marcella discovered the ramifications of Operative IV's dragonmark attack. While searching the Red Liner, she fell unconscious once again and this time found a shadowy presence that took over her mind. The marked Marcella then attacked the rest of the Foundation. Eventually, the shadowy presence decided that they had enough and evacuated Marcella's mind.

Session 14: Darkened Hearts

At the Huntington's Annual Summer's Cusp Masquerade Ball, Bal, Marcella, and Vax managed to sneak into the parlor which was trapped. After defusing the traps, Bal worked out another puzzle in the room which opened a secret closet behind some bookshelves. Inside this hidden closet hung an outfit that they immediately recognized: the slim, dark grey uniform and silver mask of Operative IV.

Session 15: Unraveled

Inside the Huntington Estate, Vax touched Operative IV's uniform, which bestowed a strange curse on him. The Phaeros Foundation then managed to uncover Marris Wistner-Huntington's Shadow office under the estate. There, they discovered the vault key that Marris was keeping safe as well as a recording left for her by someone telling her that she had already failed once and could not fail again. In her pursuit of the Foundation, Marris ended up telling them that everyone has a Shadow, and everyone has a price.
After the Foundation escaped, Vax slept and discovered that he was dreaming through terrible memories, memories in which he had experienced death. In those dreams, Marris appeared to him, seemingly connected through dreams. In these dreams, Marris was more reserved, vulnerable, and honest, or at least it seemed that way. Despite this, Vax never let his guard down.

Session 16: Look to the Western Skies

Vax once again dreamed of death and was joined by Marris. It seemed that Vax and Marris were connected by the curse of her uniform, forcing them to share in dreaming about their worst moments. Before Vax can get answers, the dreams ends.

Session 17: Strangers in a Strange Land

Vax dreamt about death with Marris again, this time seeing the moments leading up to the train massacre in Aundair. Marris tried to shirk responsibility for killing everyone on the train, then admitted that she didn't know where Vax and the party were. The next night, Vax dreamt about the circus and the death of an owlbear there. At first, it didn't seem like Marris was there, but he did find her in the crowd apparently trying to avoid him. The next night, Vax didn't dream.
