WoDaD Session 31

== Title ==
What Comes After Silence
== Recap ==
In Emnocht Village, the aftermath of the battle against the Daybreaks and the Liiracian Scout leaves the town silent for just a moment. As fires rage, dust settles, and survivors take in the wreckage of buildings and bodies, a roadrunner comes up to Chi Pin's currently comatose body. With Chi Pin's spirit residing in the Daybreak Mage Kaelyn's body, they're not able to do much. Bran apologizes to the town for the mess and leaves the surviving mages with Voxare for leverage; Voxare agrees but says the party will owe him a debt. Maria uses the inverse of Amros' magic (with a bit of his DNA) to suck up the fires, but it leaves her unstable - as many of them are. Once Bran dispels the chaotic effect holding Cheep out of their body, the undead elf finds a message attached to the roadrunner's leg:
“Her Majesty Viessa Reyavaurus requests your party’s presence in Thor Aru. She offers help in your efforts in exchange for your company. Reach the forest and you shall be found.”
After a bit of healing, some magical Drain, and a lot of debate, the party heads out of town into the desert. They manage to make some sand into glass and get into the haven again to rest just in time. During the night, Chi Pin has a talk with their ghosts - Qiro and Magella, specifically - where the spirits act very suspiciously regarding Thor Aru and seem to be hiding something. They agree to let Chi Pin have the travel time in control of their body, at least. In the morning, Chi Pin hurriedly gets the party's help coming up with a plan to avoid losing control when they reach Thor Aru. 
Bran brings up the prospect of traveling through the Planar Fog, the metaphysical mist between the Material Plane and the Azural Sea. With some research and thinking, they figure out that if they combine their demiplanar haven with Amros' planar-galloping Nightmare, they could potentially make it work. For that, though, they'll need a wagon to draw the haven door on. They get to Allomad normally, where the party splits. Bran and Maria go to buy a cart and upset the wagon-seller by haggling, while Chi Pin and Amros visit their old friends in the Daybreak Hold, learning that Allomad's mages are being commanded to hunt down the party and kill them.
