WoDaD Session 44

== Title ==
Gunning for Victory
== Recap ==
After Bran realizes that he probably can't end the negative effect on Debbie's psyche with out ending her immortality, the entire party pitches in to convince her to let him do so. They tell her life is more than living, life has meaning because it ends, and Debbie is already hurting her parents by being so distant and paranoid. It takes them all to convince her, but she finally agrees to let them remove her immortality. Bran casts the spell and while it does work, it has the side-effect of Debbie semi-accidentally shooting him with her gun. 
With a repaired mental state, Debbie agrees to help the party's efforts to stop the war. She also says she can help Chi Pin get the ghosts into new bodies, but she can't make the bodies herself; they'll need someone who can create things for that. She teaches them how to alter Queen Viessa's ritual to save the ghosts, saying that they'll need to be sure they're ready for it since the souls cannot then be separated from the body. Back in Mallharc, Alex is so grateful for their help that he offers to give them a free gun or upgrade an existing magic item. He increases the sharpness and potential of Bran's scimitar, makes Maria's Bell Necklace stun people for a short time, turns Thelo's dagger into a Pinpoint Blade which targets enemies with perception rather than physical dexterity or strength, grants Yorsog's Fusestring Bow the ability to illuminate the main target so they're easier to hit, and adds a climbing speed to Amros' Retractable Claws.
Later, in the haven, Maria and Bran chat. Bran refuses to go to Liirac to the Azural Master of Creation in Thurston. Maria tries to convince him at first but agrees they can set that mission aside for later. Then they address certain issues with Bran's self-esteem, which leads Bran to finally confess his love for Maria. She loves him back, obviously, so they kiss and stuff. Yorsog was in the haven's kitchen getting some jerky and has been hiding behind the counter this whole time. Thelo runs in asking how Bran and Maria want to be colored in his picture. Then Amros walks in and actually picks up on the new couple's confession. Bran and Maria can't get a moment of privacy. Wink wonk I guess.
