Murder Town :)

"**Murder Town :)**" is the 40th session of the first WGA campaign. Resting for the night, the party is split - Kalypso in her own residence in Rosohna, Keldrym and Kaulmyn back with den Beltune, and the rest of the party in Florian's home.

### Attack in the night

Kismet is awoken by the presence of another person in the attic room he shares with Valac. He's paralyzed, and this other figure is cloaked. Stabbing a dagger to each of Kismet's shoulders and effectively pinning him in place, the assassin tells him this is what they get for sticking their noses where they don't belong before jumping out the window. Kismet hears a countdown in his head, and then the daggers detonate in a psychic blast so large it encompasses the whole house.

### The Afterlife

The amount of damage Kismet takes immediately kills him. In the afterlife, he's greeted by The Raven Queen herself. She tells him his path is not over yet, and he has more things to do, however she won't be helping him anymore until he gets stronger. He's then resurrected by her, and upon opening his eyes finds Valac next to him, alive, in shock, and very wounded. He heals him first before the two run down to check on the others.

### The Aftermath

The blast has managed to successfully kill everyone else in the house. Full of resolve, Kismet seeks out and resurrects Florian's brother Elias first, whom he knows is a healer as well. Valac runs to Maynard, hovering over his lifeless form in disbelief, unable to do anything. At this point, Kalypso makes it in haste to the house, having heard the explosion from her apartment. She heals an unconscious Blitz and palms a diamond to Kismet. Elias resurrects Florian's family, while Kismet brings Maynard back up. Blitz bursts into the room carrying Florian's lifeless body, who Kismet revives quickly.

After ensuring everyone is well, Kismet sits on the bed, still bleeding heavily, an intense mood about him. Valac, reeling from the shock of the night, passes out on the bed behind him. At this point, Essek and Verin arrive at the house after being contacted by Kalypso. What follows is an intense altercation, Florian demanding to know why Essek did not deem Xuton dangerous enough to track, and that his lack of information led to the temporary death of his family. They tell Essek and Verin to leave.

The Red Thread remain inside, and Kismet spots the distant silhouette of the cloaked figure. Immediately he stands, determined to kill them, and Maynard halts him in his tracks, asking if he is stable. He admits he isn't, and May tells him to stay here, drawing his sword. May is stopped by Florian and Blitz - now is not the time to chase after an assassin in the night.

### To the Safehouse

The group discusses what to do next, why they were targeted, and why Kismet was targeted first. Theories range from him being the party healer to his closeness with the twins. Kismet reveals another part of his past - the escape from the Aurora Hold. He murdered a number of soldiers on his way out, and if Xuton knows this, it could be an additional motive. Almost everyone agrees that Xuton needs to pay.

In the end, Essek sends a message to inform the party they have prepared a safehouse for them, along with a secure location for Florian's family. The party leave in turmoil, Valac tending to Kismet's wounds.
