AWR Session 25

```

```

-Harry is super wholesome, just wants to help, wants to prepare for being flame gate guard person

-Cart arrives with all the things they bought plus another package plus a letter. Package is big fabric circle, Harry identifies it is a Portable Workshop, give that to Harry. Also is a letter that we got a house, thanks Alenora

- Mei gives the boys earcuffs of sending

- Harry goes back to his room to get his sniper monkey. Can't take off the gun because it's attached to monkey. Not sure how we're going to travel with it so goes in Harry's bag of holding like trunk monkey

-peek into twisted lace apothecary. There's a bust on the counter in loving memory of previous owner. Oops. Ogre girl and two humans running the place now.

-HOUSE. Description in letter here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/10NbPH54YdnfetJCKy5At2NPcVYcbjY9ZLFq8JZ5ZMtk/edit?usp=sharing

-Doors auto open for Mei. Not sure if she needs to be there to open them in future? Gate says "House of Light" in Celestial on it

-Already naming Harry's workshop downstairs the bunker, calling the house the crapshack also

-Bunker is stocked with absolutely everything. There's also a bar down here. Bar has SHUFFLEBOARD

-In Harry's workshop: Break in case of emergency case with a wine bottle in it

-Head for the Dunes at the Cloaked Rabbit. Tightening up on security with bigger men and... apparently children. Zoya is "cleaning house". Find out Augusta is beheaded and awaiting being burned. We don't know if this is another skinsuit or Augusta's actual body because she didn't see it in the dark, but murdered her for poisoning Zoya trying to usurp her seat and use her network to move more of the purple poison. Drop points: Dandorville, Crystal Point, Essendale, Jade Empire, Nontra, Astapora. Zoya is dying, does not have skinsuit scars

-Zoya wants the book, we say the book isn't here, Callus lies and says the book was destroyed, Zoya makes threats, Mei snaps on her.

- HERE COMES THOMAS I mean Jester I mean Taric I mean Gambler. He's having a grand old time and brings a case with purple poison in.

-Rosa is released from Zoya's employ, accepts the position of Mei's head of household, but needs to attend this meeting with Zoya first

-Mei gives her a sending stone in case the door doesn't open without her presence. Zoya promises to write Rosa letters even though they're like, two blocks away from each other.

-Coyote Ugly happening for breakfast in the Cloaked Rabbit upstairs. Mei corners Gambler outside and tries to get him to talk. Shocking, he won't. Everyone goes to the temple. No longer labeled, is still the temple to Selune.

-Priestess fixes Mei's arm, has a chat with Callus about the Wanderer's Malady. Suggests it might be because he has CELESTIAL AND INFERNAL BLOODLINES crashing and making a mess all over the place and something came along and made it worse.

-Suggests we talk to Rickford Morte in Pondstone, say snowpea sent us. That is not her name, her name is Sister Array.

-Quick bee fight interlude at Wombat's house

- Can tell someone is touched by the Protector. Harry outs himself. Wants to do a fun project with Callus though. Many different colored spools of thread on a table. Wraps the red thread around his wrist twice and tells him to speak from the heart when he is in Pondstone.

- "May you be blessed by the moon's shade." "Yo'sted Stands."

-Letter writing time back at the castle. Mei makes Gambler assure them he isn't going to make any trouble before she'll let him go with them

-Surprise he does make trouble and goes snooping.

Map findings in Alenora's study:

E. K. > over Crystal Point

H > over Manover

M.L.??? C.?? > Wainstorm. Also over wainstorm "Flamecasp"

Two x's over Jade Empire

Towers marked: Vividen, Stonewalk, Astorpora, Swampfume

-That evening: Mei & Callus have a rooftop chat, talk names

-Harry gets pooting smoke apparition at the foot of his bed. Identifies itself as Ember, keeper of the flame gate. Gets all up inside Harry and gives him boons (if you know what I mean). Helping to protect the firehearts (?)

-Callus has a dream too. It's Lady O. Wants to cash in on that favor. Dwarf meat is running out, needs a suitable replacement for hundreds of years of torment. Gives Callus a dagger made of bone: "Ordinance." Use this to kill the person and they will go back to Lady O. No restrictions other than no kids and no sick people (sorry Callus). Callus might want to send her Xander

-Callus tries to contact whoever is meant to be speaking to him through the red string but nothing happens

-Mei has a quick chat with the raven queen, declines her offer

-We're going to Pondstone, folks.
