The Pantheon War Campaign/Session 14

*Elesett debates (attempting to) kill Ziton (ZEE-tahn)
**He physically appears human
**Has at least an "enriched" soul (like great human warriors -- great breadth of experience)
**Ziton claims that he did not come from the city. Sunrose believes this
***Elesett is infallible and believes that Ziton is a terrible liar and cannot be trusted. She is now in the grips of a conspiracy theory and refuses to believe that Ziton is not from the city
**Elesett asks Ziton what the city does to people. Ziton gives the wrong answer (damn crit fail)
***Ziton will continue to cling to his belief: the City liberates people, separating them from their gods. When Elesett later claims otherwise, it's because she's a fool. Ziton knows the truth and has seen the evidence.
***Elsett draws her sword to threaten Ziton
***Ziton activates some sort of Othali "listening device" so that someone (somethings?) else is now paying attention to what is happening
**Elesett demands that Ziton tell her how to destroy the City
***Instead Ziton offers a non-exhaustive list of planets the City has been to: including Lemuria
****Ziton lets Mathys know that he is from a future Lemuria and that Lemuria is attacked 1100 years in his future
****Ziton also mentions a planet the party knows is attacked by the City thanks to his preacher friend
***Elesett ponders the metaphysics and causality of knowing the city attacks 1100 years in the future
****Elesett now believes Ziton is not completely worthless
**Elesett agrees not to threaten Ziton again as long as:
***He turns off the device
***He stops sharing their location
***He doesn't threaten the party or the mission
**Ziton makes a convincing argument for why he wants the city destroyed ("Destruction is the ultimate encryption") and agrees to Elesett's conditions.
***Ziton turns off the device, but not before receiving one last message. Elesett sheathes her sword
*What to do with the mercenaries?
**And should we escort them back to the border?
**We do; anyone wanting to cross needs to quarantine for 3 days & nights, disarmed. Foreign (incl. Valdosian) mercenaries are still mixed in with Atarkian troops enforcing the quarantine. 
**Our mercenaries decide this is fine & they will do the quarantine
*Sunrose argues for going back and reporting to the Queen, to ensure Falamar knows what is going on
**Supernatural parts of the party decide to go around the mercenaries, i.e. scale a mountain.
