The Pantheon War Campaign/Session 15

Before:
*Ziton is an Othali, & knows / is obsessed with the City
**The party decides to tolerate him
*Haruspex & Humboldt find themselves in the City and see many versions of themselves and their own deaths
This session:
*Should we go back to Atarkia? 
**Sunrose thinks yes, and no one else has especially strong opinions. 
**We decide to wait one more night and then cross over (via mountains)
*Back in the City
**Haruspex & Humboldt jump off the side of the plaza into an abyss. They see lots of versions of themselves dying, and lots catching themselves (or not)
**Humboldt jumps through a plate glass window. The resultant hailstorm of glass injures Haruspex. 
**Haruspex finds a sheaf of papers describing potential ends to the City, all within the course of a century, but doesn't know how to convert that calendar to this one. 
**Six vulture-like humanoid figures scavenge the many dead versions of both of them
**Zulkir emerges from all the deaths of Haruspexes. Haruspices?
**Humboldt suffers cardiac arrest and activates the emergency clause in the contract.
**Haruspex attempts to remain in the City. The City helps. 
*Haruspex... More like Whereispex
**The party looks around, feeling as if someone is missing… Humboldt's body is just where it has been for 24 hours, rotting next to us. Tome or Haruspex died in the capital of Atarkia, while the other went up to the City, and has not returned.
**Physically, Humboldt died from a massive seizure and quite possibly his heart exploded. An examination of his body revealed that he had been stitched together in places from two separate bodies. He was covered in Dalthadi and Valdosian symbols and had some blue cubes that gave Ziton perspective... to which Ziton recoiled.
**Metaphysically, Humboldt's souls were sucked out of him leaving his body to have a seizure and die.
**Maestro Sunrose comes to the conclusion that it must have been Tome who died and Haruspex is up in the city because otherwise the mercenaries would still be around.
**Ziton wants to grave rob hard evidence and walks back to the corpse & finds the preacher. The preacher confirms for Ziton that Tome is in the grave.
**Elesett walks away from the border (& possible Valdosian angels), in Ziton's wake, and resumes angelic perspective to consider this confusing state of affairs. She concludes Haruspex must be the one in the City, and the preacher is relieved because he now considers Haruspex a closed loop in a way he previously was not
