Team Spy Kids, Part IV (Session Summary)

**Team Spy Kids, Part IV** details the events of the February 2, 2022 where the party continues to figure out the nuances of working together and come up with cover stories to help them move as a group throughout the country.

## Session Notes

* Talos returns to the house and tries to reason with Cecily but she stonewalls, insisting that she doesn’t take orders from anyone, including the King, and that she will make Talos “regret” trying to issue any.

* Frustrated, Cyra leaves the room to write an update for the king.

* Tieve, exhausted from dealing with the same argument, gets up to leave the room – but stays in the hallway to eavesdrop.

* Cecily asks Crom to explain what he knows of the current political climate and, after he explains, she informs him that Simon is sending the bulk of the Trafarnese army to the Ebrian Isles to annex them as a Trafarnese protectorate, with Theo leading the charge.

* Crom observes that driving out the clergy would appeal to those in the isles, and guesses that it would be a few months before people in Cleiya start understanding the political movements happening in Trafarna.

* This timeframe pleases Cecily, as she believes it to be enough time to complete her own mission — to try to cut off avenues for Cleiya to establish resistance or defense.

* As Cleiya is a theocracy – where the king is a lapdog to the priests – Crom notes the importance of needing eyes and ears on the church for information about their military movement.

* The team discusses how best to create an imbalance within the government. Discussions on infiltrating the court and repenting as “regretful Fateless” are discussed and dismissed due to various difficulties – not the least of which the *Breath of the Gods* being terribly disruptive to both Cecily and Talos. Cecily mentions that she can pass as Fated, despite not being so, and reveals the truth of her parentage and the benefits that result from it.

* Cyra reveals that she has a contact who does household chores for the clergy that may be able to assist them, but suggests that Cecily’s money could help endear the woman to the idea.

* This leads to a discussion on the cover story the team can use to incorporate Cecily into the fold and they settle on her being a minor noblewoman from rural Cleiya, using her birth name, Conroy.

* Cecily decides that the best course of action is for the group of them to pretend to work at the safehouse. She needs to cut her hair to help further the ruse, and enlists Talos’s widely-acclaimed knife skills to assist.

* It’s also decided that Cyra and Crom would play newlyweds, much to Cyra’s chagrin.

* After poking fun at Cyra and Crom’s newly-formed relationship and discussing each member of Team Spy Kids’s families, Talos mentions having run into Cecily’s mother in a manner that nearly led to him dueling with Anastasios for Cecily’s honor.

* Cecily explains a bit more about her parents’ relationship, her vision about her death, and why that vision is the reason she never married Simon. Talos reminds her that he’ll never let her die.

* Crom, having disappeared into the kitchen during this explanation, cuts his hand and Cecily offers to help him with her magical abilities – which he declines. She manually bandages it instead.

* The two have a pleasant conversation about Cecily’s magical skills, more about Cecily’s brother and father, and the value of respecting the group while they work together.

* Cecily takes her leave for the night, and Crom approaches Cyra about the details of their marriage: following a long engagement, they were married a month ago in a small ceremony conducted by a priest who moved onto another town following the ceremony. Lady Conroy allowed them into her townhouse on the condition they keep it for her.

* The two exchange small details about themselves and head to rest for the evening.
