The Pantheon War Campaign/Session 13

Last Time:
*Party met with the King of Amaranthia
*Haruspex suffers a break from reality
*Tome dies at the hand? of Haruspex (who never even opens the kiln)
*Elesett uses a couple of powers to help move the bonfire & is encouraged to leave the capital city
Party leaves the city:
*Haruspex intimidates guards asking why the party is leaving the city
**Guards decide to leave (maybe for backup)
*Mercs tell party that Tome went into town with Haruspex, Haruspex tells party that Tome went in a different direction
*Haruspex reveals that Tome was light-touched & burned down the lodge 
**Elesett is upset to learn that the pig died
*Party debates whether or not to go back to the city for Tome
**Matthis suggests creating a soul compass to find Tome, possibly with occult telescope from the lodge
**Elesett examines the telescope, light of the city may have polarized the lenses of the telescope in a way that it holds the light of the city.
**Humboldt made to look through the telescope. Elesett witnesses Humboldt's two souls fighting for perception of the city, seem to protect each other to some extent.
Next morning:
*Party is surrounded by a garrison of kingsmen. King's doctor brings chest to party, unlocks it, and removes Elesett's sword.
**Doctor permits Elesett to cross into territory to retrieve sword if she can attest that no other member of the party is in the territory of Amaranthia.
**Elesett explains that Tome is missing, doctor places sword back in chest and approaches Elesett and whispers secret messages, Elesett is shown Tome's body underneath tarp and is allowed to take body and sword.
**Gus is shown Tome's body by Elesett. Tome's face is frozen in rictus of terror and body is decayed more than it should be for having died recently.
**Gus declares to mercs that the mission has concluded
Members of the mercs elect a new leader
*Gus / Koko make an argument for election, Kai makes argument for election. Kai is elected.
*Kai wants to get revenge on capital of Amaranthia, party shows Kai body of Tome. Kai recognizes that capital city did not kill Tome, but the city in the sky did not either. Thinks some members of party are hiding the truth.
*Party holds a funeral service for Tome, members of the party speak.
Party decides how to send Haruspex and Humboldt to the city
*After much discussion, party decides on original plan, writes soul contract with activation words to send Humboldt/Haruspex to the city
*Humboldt/Haruspex disappear in a thunderclap at dusk
*Bloody man teleported into Greg (one of the guards)
**He insists that his name is Ziton, and not New Greg. Matthis likes New Greg better. Greg's jacket fits him quite well. Greg exits through the sleeves.
*Sunrose shrieks to dissuade guards from killing Ziton
*Ziton claims to be a servant of Idolmar, revealed to be servant of Othal.
Humboldt and Haruspex arrive in city into large vaulted chamber with galleries and thousands of people milling around.
*Humboldt begins to scream that there is no light, people in the city begin to notice.
*Haruspex chokes Humboldt until he falls unconscious, both are arrested by guards. Multiple versions of Humboldt and *Haruspex populate the city. Even guards are copies of a single person.
*Haruspex attempts to resist arrest. Kills one guard and others disappear. More eyes on Haruspex as he kills more guards. *City is becoming aware of Humboldt and Haruspex until all figures disappear and doormen appear.
