Thirty-first Session – We head back into the Kingspire. The weaselly Vizier tries to get the runeblade off of us, so I shoot him in his face for his trouble. Unfortunately two elder kith knights cut down Ned. We manage to save his life, but at the cost of permanent disability (-1 STA and a scar). We kill them all and heft mithril weapons meaningfully.
When we get back to the Crow King we give him his dead lover’s ring and he calls for the Vizier’s head. We say “Oh we just happen to have a fresh vizier head on us, just two silver pieces.”
Anyway, he tell us to stop the time loop we have to kill an “uppity broad” whose sorcery caused the loop, the Lady Ariarch. The degree to which we trust his pronouncements is very low. But after a dinner party, she agrees that she needs to be killed by the Runeblade to stop the loop. Ned does the deed. Afterwards the blade is like “oh you can use me and I’m super powerful and you just have to make the world burn in return”. Ned’s conflicted, so we deconflict him by drugging him like Mr. T in the A-Team.
We get back to the real world/time/whatever, where our followers have captured some random cultists. After some discussion, Old Man Fish sacrifices one to his fell deity. Are we ze baddies?
Back to the mud-farmer village which is all that remains of Kingpsire in the modern day, where Gallfred hangs out with a swamp witch, which is one of his favorite things to do. Sadly, the Elder Kith cultists infesting it aren’t really affected by the fact that we just cancelled their religion by disintegrating all the elder kith, so we murder and loot.
We then “negotiate” with the locals about how they’re free of the cult and should start behaving like civilized people now. But not like us, we’re monsters.
