Notes from play
Elke – Plan to go to Scurlock and confront him.
Jadvyga, having worn out her welcome with Frake, convinces Naria Strangford to come with her (and not run away), but has to tell her the deal (Jadvyga in the middle of a family dispute 2/4).
The go to get Wend, who is very tired but takes some Spark and goes on despite the harm (full body lacerations)
Irelen tells Elke that the Hive has a job and an audition.
Hix meeting with Frost when Augus comes to get her to help the Sparkrights (Augus’s Guilt 1/4). Hix indulges the vice of servitude to her forgotten god.
Jadvyga is visted by Elstera and Roslyn and they ask if Corro can be trusted.
Elke convinces Narai to stick around.
Hix announces Jadvyga death (oops!)
Discuss plans with Naria and Scurlock.
