# **SESSIONS**

BOT Session 1 - A select group of visitors to and residents of Sol are invited to the Gallery of Time. Only those with an invitation are permitted to enter. The audience is greeted by The Curator. Each individual views their own gallery, which is unique from the others. When they return from viewing, much of the audience is slaughtered by The Curator's quill pen, which is collecting blood. The survivors fight through the cultists and escape through a portal on the gallery stage. Jaxson takes the body of a friend with him.

BOT Session 2 - The survivors get to know as they follow The Curator's trail to the South. They notice the weather turning unseasonably cold. At camp that night, twin brothers Starrik and Preston join the party for respite. Merigold accepts Metanoia's blessing from them. Sorenja and Ambrose confront Meri about MORK, but Meri can't remember transforming. A second set of footprints appears with The Curator's - significantly larger. The party follows the smaller set and find The Curator looking out over Sol. Snaeros tries to shoot him, but her arrow travels straight through - he is a projection. After conversing, he gives them a choice. The party decides to go to Sol to deal with his Associate, the owner of the larger set of footprints and reason for the cold. In Sol, they follow cold evidence to the entrance of the religious district. The codeword is MELON.

BOT Session 3 - A festival is being held for Starrik and Preston's initiation. Ogin follows a tip and finds the maimed body of his contact in an alley. The party continues on the cold trail and accidentally ensnares fellow member of The Mark, Floyd the Baker. Following a continuing trail of dismembered bodies, they come upon one hanging from a tree at the site of the former gallery. Cultists ambush the party and are dispatched. Continuing on to the government center of Sol, they find a message in blood on a tower, "Now I Have Your Attention."

BOT Session 4 - The party slips by guards and climbs the tower. At the top, the Associate, an ice demon, promises to destroy the peace of Sol. Battle ensues, with several cultists and members of The Mark participating in the attempt. Ambrose, Merigold, and Ogin transform into monstrous things. They are not successful in their endeavor and several guards and cultists fall. Floyd transports the survivors back to the bakery to regroup.

BOT Session 5 - The party regroups in the Shrouded Tankard. An ally appears severely wounded and two more are checked on. Ogin receives a message from his father. They investigate the scene of the fight. Merigold and Sorenja are evicted and move into the Threaded Spool. Ogin reveals some of his checkered past to the party.

BOT Session 6 - It's snowing in Sol. Sorenja asks Floyd to copy a spell for her. Jaxson checks in on the family business. The party goes to the Grove of Metanoia to complete a job and meets Starrik and Preston again there. Successful, the party goes to the bar in the Mark, only to find that Starrik and Preston are there as well. A heated discussion is had.

BOT Session 7 - On the trek out of Sol, a new friend is found and threatened and lost and found again. The party investigates a long-standing vestige of the old gods and finally puts an end to the Associate. They decide they need help dealing with this new enemy and follow Sorenja to her home.

BOT Session 8 - The group of friends heads north, licking their wounds from the days conflict. It's not long in town before the group of friends is once again face to face with trouble - including members of someone's past.

BOT Session 9 - In Bleakford, the party faces the realization that their mission is more complicated than it might have seemed. The Curator gives some insight into his quest for blood.

BOT Session 10 - Saying goodbye to Snaeros for the time being, the party hops onto a cargo ship to make their way to Ituby, but there are dangers along the route.

Where it's Colder 1 - Staying behind in Bleakford, Snaeros joins up with what remains of the Resistance to discover the identity of the Cabal's new ally

Where it's Colder 2 - The Resistance investigates the mines beneath Bleakford and learns that the Cabal has beaten them there.

Where it's Colder 3 - The group heads deeper into the Bleakford mines and makes their final stand against Omen.

BOT Session 11 - The party reunites in Ituby after weeks apart from one another.

BOT Session 12 - The party talks with someone they have considered enemy #1 until this point. Choices are to be made and none of them seem likely of a positive outcome.

BOT Session 13 - Separated and alone, everyone turns to their inner thoughts to figure out how to escape, survive and regroup their personal hells.

BOT Session 14 - Separated and scared this group of unlikely friends tries to push through their own personal hells to take a leap of faith towards escape.

BOT Session 15 - The Keeper defends the Book of Time

BOT Session 16 - The party practices honesty with the help of a Scroll of Zone of Truth (sort-of). They solicit the aid of the school to make their way to Brighmore where they hope to find the Mysterious Stranger.

BOT Session 17 - The Mysterious Stranger, unsurprisingly, is mysterious. Their encounter raises more questions than it answers and leads to some grave decisions.

BOT Session 18 - The party confronts the Curator at last.
