## Summary

Summary by av5hadow, copied from Verum Weekly:
(Falcon Bladeweaver does not appear during this session, but he did saw a portion of the fight as mentioned in Soul of Tyre: Episode 15)

The party continues their fight against Alleo Ad’Daire. Those who were within his airship’s Ramming Speed get out of the way. A seven-pointed star shimmers on Alleo’s body. Morc learns that Alleo is channeling a ritual, one that allows him to get Sevenic Surge. For each of the next four rounds, Alleo will speak a piece of his promise to Minthis. Once he finishes reciting, the fight will enter the hidden phase. On his Hope Initiative, Alleo speaks “For all her strength, she was gentle with me.”

Alleo starts to defend himself while keeping his distance from the Tops. Derok attempts to Hold Person but fails. His concentration on haste ends, and he goes into a short stupor. An Indigo Event is triggered, but the Negator is used on the Reaping Storm. “Her love is a storm, and ever I am watched by her eyes.”

Ives lands another amber arrow, covering Minthis more with Amber. The Tops tries to take down Alleo but to no avail. With a Commanding Gaze, Alleo prevents the closest Tops, Morc, from moving. Morc will toss the Amber Mask (Seren gave it to him Seren before they entered the labyrinth) towards Derok. “Her visage is terror, but her smile is my sun.”

Desperate, Ives shoots a cocaine arrow at the ground next to Alleo who then relapses to his old addiction to the drug. Drugged up, Alleo begins to sprout things as though he is living his past. Alleo loses his Merciful trait, and the ethereal Minithis glares down Ives for doing this to her husband. Ives tells Derok to lace the Amber Mask with cocaine from the arrows, hoping that forcing the mask on Alleo will end his connection to Minithis. Derok does so and uses a Dimension Door to get close to Alleo. Despite wanting the crack, Alleo stops Derok from shoving the laced Mask on his face. Neve retrieves a cocaine arrow and drugs up Alleo more. Pissed off at seeing the return of Alleo’s former demon, Minthis manifests herself, shattering all of the amber that’s covering her. Not wanting to miss the fun, Morc runs up to Alleo and tells the rogues to fire another one.

Alleo speaks the words, “What is the one thing that she told me not to say.” Minthis realizes what he is about to say, and attempts to stop him from speaking. However, she fails, and Alleo speaks the name of the Enemy. The battle ends as Alleo turns into violet dust. Minthis gets on the ground and holds the dust of her husband, taking some time to process the Violet Death. For a moment, she forgets the greater enemy and turns her anger towards the Tops. “God bolt.”

Lightning strikes the ground, killing everyone but Ives who is somehow still standing from taking the magus opus spell of a Seven. The Neverend appears and restores the Tops to their full strength. Unlike the Steel Saint’s, Alleo’s pillar does not rise from the scar. Minthis joins her friends with hatred in her eyes. The party laments on their actions. The Neverend brings the party bad news. The will of a Seven supersedes their own will, and so their next opponent is chosen by Minthis. However, the good news is that the party gains a level.

Stompy is transferred from Neve to Ives in fear of Minthis’s wraith, and the party positions themselves. After the party prepares for the next fight, the Requiem Rose appears. It has the following traits. Lord (Summons other enemies), Ruthless, Martial Adept, Improved Combo, Harrow (Uses Powerful debuffs in order to slow, restrict, and conform their enemies), Violet. The next fight is against a memory of a violet servant Minthis has fought in the past.
