Session 459 - It's More or Less the Same as the Things That You Said

Date: 18 August 1626

Zenith: Oberon

Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent

Moon Face: Dragon Face (Tidelocked)

Events:

--- Ok then, that was always allowed

- The Red Elves roll their bubbles into the town of Bell. Masvani has strong misgivings.

- A guardpost is immediately diverted around because Bell has recently quintupled in population due to Masvani's actions last session

- It's fine though? Shanty town vibes here.

- As a result the Red Elves are invited in with little fanfare. They roll their bubbles into the centre of town and set up in the park.

- The sky is threatening. It's a Swarm Warning, a fairly common weather event in summer. Flies abound. Beetles clutch the earth. 

- Masvani casts a spell and instantly dies.

--- Wait what

- Yea he's fucking dead
- Mother Flotsam brings out the worm that is named Celebus, a fellow Necromancer, and asks him what the fuck just occurred while sipping tea with fellow old ladies.

- Worm Celebus states that this was the "Little Death" which afflicts Necromancers every so often. Masvani will return! Specifically at midnight.

- Meanwhile Masvani watches his corpse from the ghost dimension. Without Celebus giving information this may have been way more horrific.

--- Chores

- Benito hits up the church, goes round the back, and kinda-sorta seduces a man named Trevor Upmarket into being his minion. Horrific stuff. 

- We discover that Necromancers can order around their troops from the ghost dimension because that's really fucking cool!

- Masvani exploits this technique to have a good look around town. He investigates the Red Elves' Resurrection Engine and finds it empty. Something to investigate further?

--- Mother Flotsam Gets Pissed

- It's carousing time! Mother Flotsam gets so fucking drunk,,,,,
- Masvani returns! And tries to get the populace up in arms regarding the Red Elf refugees but everyone's more annoyed by the influx of no-longer-dead who recently tore themselves from the loam.

- Mother Flotsam pisses off the local baron's wife who has only recently returned from abroad.

--- The Morning After

- Benito awakens to discover that he's lost all his gear, Awful! He has vague memories of an older guy putting his stuff away for safe keeping?

- Hang on, he knows that face! It was the Baron's butler!

- They head off IMMEDIATELY to confront him, and in short order discover that he lobbed everything through the Baron's mirror that leads directly into the gardens of Ynn as a kind of sick joke

--- And what Alice found there

- Mother Flotsam and Benito run into the Baron's bedroom. The Baron and his wife leap out of bed! Sadly for them, Mother Flotsam is prepared. She casts her Babbling Curse and both of them jump through the looking glass before anyone can stop them!

- Masvani grabs the mirror and hauls it away. To his horror it it changes back into a normal mirror as soon as he leaves the room!

- Quoth Carter, "oh no".

--- A Cloakroom

- Mother Flotsam and Benito Brazil stagger out of a wardrobe. They are confronted by a little goat man sitting on a little chair. They are very obviously in Ynn.

- We are now in a split party situation! On the way downstairs, Masvani persuades the Baron's daughter to come along with him and abandon her lyre. Mysterious!
