Session 11

## Session 11 – “Everyone”

Klaxi appeared in a beam of radiant light and stopped mid-sentence as she saw Amanita, Archion, Electra, and Zara. As she stared them down, Xyanos locked eyes with Klaxi.

Electra tried to talk her way out of things, claiming to be leaving. As they made a move towards the library, Klaxi turned to Archion and told him that he should know that Mornon “died well”. With that, she cast a crown of madness spell on the Dragonborn, rendering him unable to distinguish his friends from his foes. Bristling with rage, he transformed into a dinosaur. Xyanos glanced at the party and asked them to "honour [their] friendship".

In exchange for the book, Xyanos refused to elaborate on Alexander Morozova's plans, described a little of what Deitrick was studying, and described what was happening to the Celium Network as a "declination".

To make matters worse, smoke began emanating from Amanita’s bag as the lich began to reform.

At this point, the party was plunged into combat.
