Session 106

With vampires attacking the Purifiers based in Sunholme, the party has to decide whose side they are on and what to do during the battle.

## Summary

More Purifiers arrived, their powers still in tact while the rest of the Gathering Light seemed to have had theirs blocked by the Eclipse. The vampires, focused primarily on their targets of the forces of Quraura, mostly ignored the pedestrians in the area. The party began to make their way to the temple proper through the chaos, members of the Gathering Light trying to steer them to safety. Crystals began to appear behind the vampires.

A new Purifier entered from the other side of the courtyard, whom Esteem recognized. During his later days of employment under Desmond Garret, the estate was visited by one of the Purifier higher ups, Mordraine. The Purifier gave Esteem a bad feeling; he spent a lot of his time there watching Esteem, apparently uninterested in Garret's platitudes.

The crystals finished phasing into reality, and with them came many more vampires. With them too appeared Renard Blackwood, Josephine Blackwood, and Azaria Burnett. Due to the sudden influx of vampires, the Gathering Light guards began to regroup at the temple. Teer cast Message to ask Azaria what they should do, and she told him that they were taking down the Purifiers, even as she fired her longbow at Mordraine. Without much other direction for their conflicted emotions, Teer, Belle, and Esteem decided to began an assault on Mordraine, who Esteem had indicated he very much wished to murder. The civilians cleared out, Ephemera also joined the party against the Purifier.

Mordraine, taking a fair amount of damage, released an enormous amount of flaming energy, revealing a larger entity within the resulting halo of fire. He declared that things would not end the way the party thought it would, then teleported away. The present Purifiers dead or fled, the group gathered around Azaria, both as protection and for questioning, even as more vampires appeared on the field. Azaria explained that the purifiers retaining their powers was surprising. Their source, "Renard," had not been as thorough as he was supposed to have been. Their plan, after destroying the Purifiers, was for the vampires to simply return to the Shadowfell. Renard revealed himself to actually be Tovaris Worthing, temporarily granted his powers again in order to activate Josephine's Dark Sun Apparatus and offer his intelligence from his time among the Purifiers in Wolis. Tovaris explained that Mordraine had kept trying to send reinforcements to Wolis, presumably to get a foothold for his people there.

Azaria, Josephine, and Tovaris planned on attempting to treat with the remaining Gathering Light in the Grand Sunspire. Meanwhile, the party decided to try to find proof of the Purifiers' connections to fiends. To this end, they began their journey to Desmond Garret's estate, intending to learn how much he knew about the situation, and why exactly he had tried to remove Esteem from existence.
