Session 6

## Session 6 (December 18, 2022) - Day 3 & 4 - We almost TPK’d

Harry and Koa were taken by the mists!

Vioxx invited himself into the windmill. And now staying with the rest of the party.

He is wearing chain mail, cape, big sword. Vioxx is a hobgoblin mercenary, whose hobby is hunting for food. He was chasing a monster when it ran into the mist, and he with it. He emerged just outside the windmill. The mist is making him very uncomfortable. Since he is usually alone, and does not have the best people skills, he simply pushed the door open and invited himself in.

Meanwhile, !! & 777 went to investigate the 3rd floor. Granny tells us they are big rats upstairs and to not worry about them.

!! Discovered 2 caged children, and also 1 bloodied serrated knife + the book similar to "grotesque 50 shades of gray". There were also other crates of herbs and baking supplies. Orio Kookie ran distraction to make sure they were not discovered. Ophelia invited !! To join her in the night seductively. When the 3 ladies came up for bed, 777 messaged !! to come down in time, and he was not discovered.

To have deniable culpability, !! Left the serrated knife in the kitchen partially hidden. !! Explored the kitchen on the way and found some barrels of flour and herbs.

Next morning, Vioxx saw granny get a big bag from her pie cart which is wiggling, and bring it into the house. !! Lures Ophelia upstairs to level 3 and tried to get her to tell him what the children are for to no avail. Combat ensues. Initially, !! Tried to tell Ophelia it's a courting ritual while he stabbed her, even Commanding her successfully to strip! Subsequently, 777 casted darkness, which was extremely helpful in whittling her down as a lot of us were attacking with advantage.

Unfortunately, even though we bloodied Ophelia significantly, she revealed her demon form (long claws, horns, and blue) and teleported away by breaking the chain on her necklace, also called for help from her two compatriots. Orio Kookie cleverly disguised her voice and delayed their reinforcement. This gave Stubbs and Vioxx the opportunity to get the children. Stubbs also went up to the 4th floor to see that there was a bed and nothing else of note there. The remaining demons joined forces and knocked out Tarlet, 777, and orio kookie. Stubbs, !!, Ireena, Vioxx, and 777 managed to escape. Orio and Tarlet got tossed into the mists which somehow stabilized them and allowed them to wake up in a refuse pile 200m outside of the windmill with only their armour.

We were able to rescue all 3 children by !!, Vioxx, and Stubbs

There is something in the mists that clung on to Tarlet and Orio and wanted them to reach out to it. "Everybody gets one". While in the mist, they felt a silhouette (Tarlet: person standing back, hands in pockets, appears confident, regal, reaching out their hand, offering to pull him back to life; Orio: small figure with wings+feather, waves wings, tugged him back to life)

!! Was psychologically traumatized by Ophelia's actions, he also received damage from one of Ophelia’s attacks (actually he was so traumatized by a dream involving Ophelia bow-chicka-bow-wow) and now has 2 less max health
