Session 34 - Eye Of The Storm

**Session 34 - Eye Of The Storm** is the 34th session of the campaign, in which Atlanta, Diri and Ydriss return from the Clockwork Capital to help accompany Pandora and others to Nim, who has finished working on the Dream Catcher. Upon meeting up, they discover that Mirza has set up a trap to corner them and kill Pandora. They manage to knock Mirza out and Pandora successfully is freed from the Storm, however, Diri spills a drop of it at the very last second, due to Mirza's amputated hand tripping her.

### Synopsis

#### Mirza's Trap and Encounter

They eventually arrive at Salamentia and Evette leads them to the place where Nim has been staying. As he opens the door, it is immediately visible that he isn't doing very well, as he looks very tired and sickly. He passes the potion to Evette, coughing while doing so. Diri asks him if he's sick, but he claims to be fine. Upon taking a closer look at the potion, Diri exclaims that it's unfinished. In response, Evette confronts him, but he doesn't answer. Suddendly, blood splatters onto a window next to them, and they realize that an enemy is outside. Ydriss then grabs Nim by the collar and lifts him up, questioning him angrily. He then slowly looks at her, not saying anything, as a tear slowly leaves his eye. At this moment, Pandora, as well as Atlanta and Diri, realize that he's become a victim of the Intruder.

The Door then bursts open, and Mirza steps inside. Without wasting much time, he immediately starts the fight with the goal to kill Pandora.

Atlanta eventually manages to knock him out, but Nim, still controlled by the Intruder, steps up with a health potion - only to quickly have it be shattered by Diri's flail. Now that Mirza has been dealt with, Diri finally frees Nim and heals him using lay on hands. She then asks him if he feels better, to which he tiredly replies "I just want to leave."

Despite the troubles, Nim still hands the proper potion to the group. He warns them, however, that the potion isn't in its best condition. As they have not much of another choice, Pandora drinks it, and throws a large amount up again, which misses the potion bottle and lands on the floor. Evette quickly gets a bucket and moves the liquid into it, then hands it to Diri. Pandora proceeds to pass out immediately, as she is now finally able to sleep.

Ydriss and Diri both leave the house at one point to check on Mirza. Ydriss utilizes his knocked out state to draw dicks on his face, to which he is described as "looking at her with a smile" (implied as menacing). She smiles back. Diri later goes to him to insult him.

> No one loves you. The world would have been better off if you had never been born.

As they stand and relax for a moment in the house, moonlight hits the potion, to which the liquid reacts. Taking note of this, Diri quickly grabs Nim's Bedsheet and covers the bucket with it. Meanwhile, Ydriss kneels down next to Heian and makes light conversation with him as she heals him further, telling him to not "play hero" again and later asking him about his stay at the Arcanium Academy.

Diri then goes outside to pack the bucket with the Storm into the caravan, but on her way, suddenly gets grabbed by Mirza's arm, which was separated earlier during Atlantas final blow. Due to it tripping her, a single drop of the liquid gets spilled and lands on the ground. The moon, which has seemingly followed the potion in its best attempt to interact with it, moves, and the session ends on a cliffhanger.
