CR Arcadum S1E15: Undulations

===Chapter 15: Undulations ===
====A skirmish coming====
Faye speaks to Mayor Eric and warns him about an imminent skirmish between Mars and Quixote corporate forces coming to Callous Row. She leads Eric into her quarters and reveals her gear as well as weapons, information that is undoubtedly very valuable to Eric.
They discuss what to do with the information to warn the people of Callous Row but before getting a chance the skirmish commences and a shootout starts on the streets. In the chaos the Mars forces are led to investigate a strong magical source of power coming from the abandoned railways. Detectors report it moving and a gigantic fire elemental appears and starts laying waste to the corporate presence.
====The powers of Fire rise up====
In the chaos the Fire elemental kills most if not all of the corporate soldiers and starts searching for sources of mana. Chasing after Kythus is wounds and leaves Cleo and Becky severely burned. Running around on a tirade eventually Static and Rask corners the elemental in the mushroom grove and pushes it into its waters.
The fire elemental is extinguished but reappears as some shadow creature. The shadow creature grasps inside Talus and Oriana ripping their very souls from themselves. Surviving barely Talus manages to resist the pull but a mark of a dark hand is left across his face. Oriana takes a sudden a final breath before collapsing before Talus and Static on their return from the grove and dies. Before the shadow creature can reach the surface and be freed it is stopped by Bo who uses her power to stop it.
(Out of character Cleo, Talus and Becky survive death rolls but Oriana fails)
Becky, working at the bank suddenly burst into spontaneous flames and is blessed with fire magic after being touched by the fire elemental and surviving. She burns equipment from the heat radiating around her and is yelled at by her boss Eric.
Cleo severely wounded at the hospital survives but is left with a crippling trauma and a fear of fire.
====A date with the tentacle lady====
Rook returning purchases some drinks for Faye and learns about the events that occured. He invites Kee'ra and they spend some time together at an outlook area, overlooking the row and it's skylines.
Speaking with her they converse about Kee'ras past in the Sonitii harems and her "tentacles", which seem to peak Rooks interest or ire, at first worried about her female parts being actual "female parts" but has his concerns put to rest. She shares her passion for the classic movies recorded on tapes from the old times and Rook tells of his interest in making mixtape playlists. Rook, opens up for a bit and reveals his full name to her to be "Gregarious Talon Rook" and that he used aspire to be a chaplain in the past long ago.
Before parting Kee'ra tells Rook that he makes her feel happy, and that it's usually the other way around for her, as with her clientele at the brothel and appears almost flustered.
====Intrigue====
Opening the bar Rook serves Kythus Tolem who retells the series of events of the day and asks him if he could investigate someone named "Sonos Korai" for him. Rook agrees and will look into it.
Dr. Cell tells of someone stealing all of her medical records and points suspicion towards either Desmond and "her bitch brain in-a-jar" A.L.Ex. or the new Cuixote corp Lange Pliskin. Their difference about Rooks methods aside he thanks her for trusting in him.Arcadum stream 2020-02-08 Ep15
