Session History
Act One: Barathrum
Tarot reading: The Priestess
Session 1 (Sep. 24th, 2016)
41 days until the solar eclipse - first third-day of Earth
The party arrives in Londolond by being Travelled directly into the center of a guard post at sundown. Arrested peaceably, the party is charged with using sorcery to disrupt city services and placed in a communal cell pending trial. The sergeant-at-arms that imprisons them tells the party a cleric will be by in the morning to identify any demonic taint, and explains that the level of paranoia regarding demonic influences in the city is at an all-time high. To pass the time, Merrodis and Gwent lose a game of gwent to Sa-Matra, the winnings of which are immediately pickpocketed by Merrodis. After the game, the party collectively discovers they have been branded with the Mark of the Traveller.
One of the guards explains that the line between actual true demonic activity and rumors and paranoia is indistinct, as well as briefly recounting how 30 years ago, Londolond was beset by a demonic incursion that ended a brief golden age. A twin-tailed comet last year evidently heralds the coming of a second incursion, as well. Worst of all, a coming solar eclipse in about five weeks time will shepard in a new incursion. Magic is generally distrusted in the city, especially wielders that are capable of summoning.
Biding their time, the party is rescued by Neither Nor who knocks out the guards and identifies the party as Travelled by the Mark. Breaking them out with a magic device and a portable hole, leading them through back alleys as the guards discover their escape. Neither Nor explains the Silver Twilight Lodge, a magical college, would likely brand them as heretics and try to have them executed. Avoiding the guards and bringing them to the Temple of the Traveller, she explains the last two Travelled persons were executed, and that the five party members all being travelled at once is particularly auspicious. Furthermore, Neither Nor explains she is convinced the Silver Twilight Lodge is behind a looming demonic incursion themselves.
The party is introduced to Alem Nitor - not yet convinced of the threat of the incursion himself - who explains the owner, Millne de Tempestus, runs the place in honor of his adopted Travelled daughter. Neither Nor offers to teach the party the Process which she uses to invent and engineer solutions. Neither Nor mentions the signs of a celestial event and an increased amount of Travelled arriving as being the same as signs before the prior incursion 30 years earlier. Noting that there have been several lesser demons summoned into the city recently, she asks the party to begin aiding her by capturing and interrogating an imp that the Silver Twilight Lodge has been using as a conduit for information. The party then completes some initial training with Neither Nor's Process.
Session 2 (Oct. 1st, 2016)
40 days until the solar eclipse - first fourth-day of Earth
Alem praises the party's progression with Neither Nor's Process, expresses surprise that she'd choose to teach the five members of the party the Process, having taught it to no one else until now. He details some of Neither Nor's public works, including the water and sewage systems she's put in place, and explains some of his own adventuring history and renown in the city to Sa-Matra. Thoma teaches some alchemy fundamentals to Artemis, and tells the story of how she rehabilitated others at the temple, including Neither Nor when she first arrived. Neither Nor assists Gwent in building crossbow mechanisms, and talks about some of her suspicions regarding the Silver Twilight Lodge.
