Session 23

After successfully winning the competition to perhaps meet Meyrin, the party attempts to navigate the inside of the Mirage Temple to retrieve the halberd from the goddess. 
== Summary ==
After Meyrin stole the halberd from Kiono, she rushed in after the goddess, her party following swiftly after her. The Moon Clan guards allowed them passage. They traverse several rooms before they are divided up, each person receiving their own test. 
Ondo found himself in a void with a dragon attacking his allies. Faethyn Tal'Tessil, his former master appeared beside him and instructed him to abandon his friends and follow him. After some consideration, Ondo finally decided that he did not owe it to Faethyn to abandon his friends, ultimately choosing for himself to do what he wanted, attacking the dragon. It turned out this was an illusion and test, and he was able to leave through a door. 
Lei found herself similarly in a void, but in her void was a copy of herself, sitting upon a throne formed from the bodies of her friends and allies. Her clone snarks at her, and Lei feels bad, but gosh I don't remember the specifics unfortunately. Lei vows to do better and leaves. 
She and Ondo both end up in a place alongside Belxari and Xelbari, fighting large monsters landing on the edge of a huge expanse. They also find Kiono there, and the three take to fighting off the monsters. These monsters, it is explained, are being shed by a large asteroid that is heading toward the planet, the thing that followed Meyrin. During this fight, Kiono stops using the halberd, opting instead to use magic. The trio continue on, exiting through a door and up a series of platforms. A monster attacks them along the way, which loses track of them when Kiono turns them invisible. Eventually, they find their way to a large field of flowers, the domain of Meyrin. 
Here they find Squire Veggrek, who was instructed to sit beside Meyrin and watch his companions through these trials. When asked if he was going to help, he said no, as he had been instructed not to. Nobody was particularly thrilled about the tests which Meyrin had given them, but she said that she would not return the halberd unless she knew she would receive the help she needed. She had one final test for them, to defeat the beast containing the next portion of the halberd.
