E26 - Truth and Fire Rats

General Summary

As the Protectors of the Pass waited for their stakeout to begin, Winry Mountain Peak suggested they play a game of serious questions and honest answers. All agreeing, the party spent some time sharing about themselves and learning about each other. Myetharia Faewarin shared that she did, in fact, like the party and wanted to stick together. Bryn revealed that her ex-husband Brent was responsible for their separation, as he was cheating on her with another woman. Jack shared that his family thought he was still in Gate Pass, and that he never had an act in their traveling troupe. If the mission was complete and the party broke up, Winry stated that she didn't know what else she would do, but was certain that she wouldn't go back to the The Monastery of Two Winds. And finally, Rayland Red admitted that he, in fact, had fully died previously, and Aemon Ming was at least partially responsible for his resurrection. The party pressed him further, but clearly uncomfortable with the conversation, Rayland left to play darts at a nearby tavern. Finishing the game, Rayland and Winry snuck to the house to watch for activity. While doing so, they witnessed a swarm of rats with flint-like teeth starting garbage fires. These rats congregated in a basement. Calling the Protectors together, the group headed down into the basement, and destroyed the rat population responsible for the recent arsons. Capturing a few rats as proof, the victorious party headed back to the Lyceum to rest. As they settled in, Myetharia noticed a tall humanoid being led through the Lyceum campus by a small group of hooded figures. Unable to determine their identities, she ended her watch and entered her trance. As the rain pattered onto the magical wall of Bryn's dome, the party slept soundly and safely.
