Dungeons & Drama Falnix Campaign

Unfortunately, this session did not record correctly so here is a recap!

The group acclimates to Sif as they get acquainted with each other. Sif discovers tell-tale signs of shrikes in the forest. Diego talks combat-strategy and masks with Sif. Río tells the group about the Lux masquerade and thinks the D'artagnans need another leader going forward. She holds Tosh's feet to the fire regarding the Mal Magnotos situation and his tendency to fly solo whenever the elves are involved. Sif and Tosh discuss the future of Mal Magnotos, including plans to acquire mercenaries from Otto (who we learn has been allowed entry into Mal Magnotos before and therefore may have a soft spot for helping them). We also learn that Otto is a reclusive older man in Lux who will almost certainly be in attendance at the masquerade. Thorns are encroaching on the road to Lux and the group encounters two shrikes, who have ensnared someone and are using them as bait. Combat ensues.

Tensions are at an all-time high as the D’artagnans, still reeling from the news of Korey's murder, come to terms with Athena's departure. Río is taking that news the hardest, and she corresponds with Egnil. Tosh is hell-bent on speaking to Rober alone so he travels swiftly to Mal Magnotos but that excursion does not go well. Diego ensures things are settled in Half-Home before he, Río, and Tosh reunite on the road to Lux. An unexpected visitor joins the group.

Combat continues. Athena deals with the heavy emotional aftermath and reunites all of the Brookstones. Pan flees. Río and Tosh acquire rooms at the Red Fawn and Diego checks in with the Sheriff. A deadly plot is uncovered that puts Tosh on edge. Río goes to the Brookstone’s to collect Athena. 

Athena is very clearly going through something as metaphysical manifestations of her many oaths are brought to bear. Tosh takes on Lysander and pays for it. Río assists Pan and holds a freaky cultist at bay. Diego provides explosive support from a distance. Athena sees a vision.

Athena must confront her oath head-on at the height of a full moon. Diego, Tosh, and Río back her up.

Diego pitches a plan to Athena. Tosh and Río distract Lysander. Athena speaks to Lucas. All of the D'artagnans find themselves inside Occulus to prove their worthiness, but only one succeeds.
