Session 6 Journal
Party Present
Previously on Rainbovia....
Our scene was set with Irmia and Apollion covered in blood in the cell of Lemon DuBlanc. A short walk away inside the Mixing Expanse Museum filing room Gest and Alfie were casually walking back from a fairly easy to find some filing. As they return from the museum, they hear in their minds a message from Midnight, telling them that they must urgently find Irmia and Apollion as they are in trouble in the prisoners of war camp.
As they race to the cells, they manage to sneak perfectly past the blood spattered uniforms of two guards that are going to seek Jade 'mentioned' Forest after they just saw their captive Lemone DuBlanc take a ball-bearing through the head.
Jade arrived and after a brief tête-à -tête with the gang (that eventually all stepped out of the shadows) the group did some investigating. During this time Jade shares her appreciation for Mel Brooks, renowned director and producer.
After a while they identify an extremely faint yellow prism embossed into the right breast of both duBlancs.
As they went to leave the cell block, Gest once again had a sore tummy and saw the invisible form of Midnight sneaking out of the hall through a broken patch of wall. Midnight spoke again into Gest's mind that they would explain later but needed to get out of there.
After a little while the party went back to the stoney area that marked the entrance to the underdark. Gest grilled Midnight on why they were hiding in the room, especially after they admitted they were in the room listening to the party interrogate Lemon, but eventually she gave into their charming accent and chill vibe.
When they'd eventually all caught up on eachother's actions, Midnight gave each of them a sending stone attuned to eachother - "mama's going yappin"
Midnight catches on the weapon (he was listening in the room with Lemon) and insists they must find out more about what sort of weapon it might be. If it can make Goldenspire stronger then they are fucked.
Midnight suggests to the party that they go up to the Red Court and try to speak to Magan as he was the most recent Spectral Light. In addition, the Scarlett Sanctum (where Magan would be) has an incredible library and may have information on some other things that they want to find.
The underdark route through to the North Half of Rainbovia has been cut off by the yellow barrier, which has extended underground, once they are in the north half of Rainbovia they can use the underdark from Tangerine Towers to the Emberhold and to the Scarlett Sanctum but not from the Mixing Expanse to Tangerine Towers.
On one of the nights they are travelling, Gest felt an odd itchy part on her back that she couldn't quite reach, despite many years of stretching and dance. She showed it to Irmia and the whole party, and while Irmia went to touch it, Vokhech raced up her arm and tapped their beak on the patch.
A peel rang through the air and a single bolt of lightning hit a nearby tree - and the group's fire went briefly out. After some thorough inspection the group are unclear on what the patch is, although there's a bit of concern that it might be Greyscale!!! They wrapped up the patch to hide it from anyone and then they got on with their journey!!
As they crossed through the Orange Court's land, they saw three yellow individuals moving through the Orange Lands. One tough pushing a cart through the forest, with two other yellow people, one in armour and one in a robe walking beside the cart. The party did some recon work and identified that there were orange weapons being transported in the cart.
The group got their murder on with 2 of the 3, and knocked the armoured guard unconscious. One of the main things to note from the battle was Irmia summoned her Spiritual Weapon which took the form of a thurible (notably coming up with this idea prior to Ashley Johnson). At one point Gest also used the spell Shatter and knocked the cart to smithereens on one side and caused some of the stuff in the cart to roll on out.
After the battle, they decided to have a poke through everything that they'd found and also to investigate what was in the cart. They identified that each of the 3 individuals had thesame prism marking on their right breast. While they waited for the group to have enough time for a lil bitty rest, Alfie rummaged through the cart and some of the broken bits, and they were able to identify a crate that had been modified to fit something hidden at the bottom. This modified barrel had a false bottom (BBL) with a small yellow chest inside. The chest opened to show an odd glass-ish fragment that was glowing with orange light.
The group roused the guard captain, to ask him some questions:
First they asked who gave him the mark:
Lord Goldenspire gave me the mark
When they asked what he was doing:
Lord Goldenspire asked us to steal this
When they asked where the weapons had come from:
The weapons were ordered and given by Orange.
When they asked what the orange-y glass thing was:
The Shard was stolen from Orange.
Then he got a ball-bearing through the head.
