Game Log 2021-01-14

The session began with the Tribe recovering from the fight, and Ash recovering or dealing with the fact that his friend who he swore to protect, Addie has apparently been killed and turned into this damned soul we saw.  Vimak and Evresh explain the details of the revenant, and a cursed revenant in particular explaining what this meant, and that it would not be easy to save Addie from this curse, and above all else we must keep the maps from Addie.

Seeing that Ash seemed to be ok, and his mind his own, and Entropy came up to check on Ash.  Seeing he was ok, Entropy called Ash a coward and slapped him across the face.  Ash, after a second of confusion stood up, unsheathed the great sword and swung at Entropy, with Artemis using her action to help defend Entropy.  Ash, dropping the great sword then swung his fist at Entropy, hitting and doing some damage.

With that, Entropy smiled and said back to Ash, good you do still have some fight left, and he dropped his weapon, asking Ash what happened here and what we can do to help this?  Ash then began a soliloquy about his past, a similar swampy bog to the one he saw in his mind when the green flame went through his head, and how he met and lost Addie.

After this, the Tribe turned to Addie’s corpse discussing what to do with it, and when Arkenite went to throw the body into the ice, green flames engulfed the body, turning it into dust and nothingness like Thanos’ snap.  The Tribe not knowing what else to do, slowly began to follow Vimak’s floating hand again and continued their journey to EnThanUs proper.

On the journey the Tribe discussed what they could do and who they could ask for help on this curse that is keeping Addie locked here.  Mother was mentioned, as well as the Swamp witch who may be in the swampy bayou that Ash was seeing in his mind.  At some point here, Entropy pulled Allyria aside and mentioned that Billie Dee or Dispater may know more about curses like this, as well… he deals in souls and damnation.  Allyria was not on board with this idea, and nearly pleaded with Entropy to hold off and not go this route.  Entropy said he appreciated her input and would take it to heart when deciding what he would do with this.

After these discussions the Tribe arrived at a near perfect campsite for the pillow fort, setting it up, and Artemis, Ash and Allyria went together to talk of loss, Children and they drank, with Me joining in drinking some of her first alcohol.  At some point Artemis and Allyria spoke in private with Artemis inviting Allyria to go hunting and release their inner selves.  Allyria was taken aback and promised in the future they could do so, but not tonight, not in this dangerous icy waste.

Continuing to drink, Artemis called Entropy over and told Ash to ask forgiveness for his cowardice.  Entropy and Ash had a good talk here about friendship, honor etc., and Allyria went out for her first Watch.  On her watch, Allyria heard some howling to the South West, as if from a wolf.

Next up was Vimak and Artemis on second watch, they discussed Religion, and Artemis let out some information about her disdain for Religion due to something in her past, as their watch continued the Storm above got stronger, the snow falling and the wind picking up.  For third watch Entropy and Ash took the watch together continuing their talk, and noticed on their watch 5-6 winged beings on the cliff above the campsite, about 4 feet tall, and as soon as they were noticed the created flew off to the south spooked.

With that, the night ended and upon waking, Me rolled the D8 rolling a 7, and the Tribe followed the guiding hand coming to a river, with a small ravine, seeing a bridge ahead with fortifications, and upon the wall the sign of the deceivers.
