Session 28

Ruined Stars
Having purified the Golden Vestige, Group Alpha plunders ancient ruins located near Starcrest at the behest of Kasdri.
Julius gives Delaria a ring, with a promise that he shall always come back alive for her.
The party receives a letter from Thomas Alabaster, thanking them for saving his life, and giving them a magical potion-storing bracer.
Factus, Lucien, and Nathaniel interrogate a captured member of the family, and Factus tests out his new gauntlets for the first time.
The trio learn that this particular cell of the family was operating out of the Temple of the Bright King in Westbrooke.
Savic looks to the stars for answers, spotting The Celestian, and beckons The Beginning to aide him in finding Jerrick. He is told to go to where they reunited.
Morrigan is momentarily taken control of by The Beginning, an act which greatly pains her.
The party returns to Westbrooke, where they learn of a man running for Chief Magister, Janus Thorne.
Julius realizes just how rich he is, as well as just how bad he is at gambling, losing quite a large sum at Magmas Gaming Emporium.
Julius listens to a woman, Gaia Starriper, sing atop the stage at the casino, and is enthralled by her voice.
He meets Teth Stonedown, and the two spend most of the day drinking and socializing.
The Archon offers Group Alpha the chance to formalize their relationship, offering them an as of yet unnamed position as his "right hand". They accept.
The party decides to find the ruins Kasdri had learned of, taking a week to arrive.
Inside they meet three suits of animated armor, 001, 002, and 003, and are treated to a disgusting meal and a tour of the facility.
They discover a plant-animal hybrid, a puppy with the ability to heal.
They are led to Helena Aurelianos' office, where they find the Eye of Kyronnen, a mysterious hilt, and Helenas Ring of Major Missles.
They also discover a large, active magical crystal which apparently supplies power to the facility. Julius attempts to destroy it, but fails.
Having gotten what they came for, they return to Westbrooke with the plant-puppy in tow, meeting with Morrigan.
Morrigan is delighted to see the animal, as well as her mothers possessions, hesitantly allowing the party to keep what they had found.
She is taken over by The Beginning once more, and says that Savic, Lucien, and Kasdri all bear "The stench of stardust".
They soon leave Morrigans tower, while Nathaniel gambles away most of his money at the casino, earning nothing.
They learn of an auction of Kistarin Yvris' possessions, and decide to wait until after that to search for the next Vestige.
