From my notes
Downtime
- Indulge vice – The journey to the Vale. Let’s get drunk and admit all our secrets, then never speak of them again.
- And idea – what if we offered help to the spirit wardents?
Rumors
- I heard Halrland trapped his workshop and almost killed someone.
- I heard Elke, Hix, and Harland were an item.
- I heard Arquo was a demon friend
- I heard Yadvyga trash talks everyone, especially Elke
Crafting
- A power absorption unit
- A device that will coalesce (maybe collect or contain?) the god’s energy
- A transmitter to broadcast that to the Society
- 12-tick Long Term Project to create.
- Drawbacks: complex, consumable, rare (lifeforce of a demon), unreliable, volatile (shock wave and extra attention.
Frost disapproves of Hix’ plan. Thinks Hix is deluding herself, but he’ll be there when it happens.
Ro is tended to by Wend at the Vale.
Harland fights his way out of the city, freezing and shattering the scariest ghost at the wall.
Harland returns to his defenders and presents himself “I have returned”
- Thistle is elated (she gets the “good” hand)
- Lizette is furious but hides it (she gets the “cold” hand)
- All the cult members worship Harland, who rides Brie back through the barrier.
Bazran goes to Ironhook and does well (+1 Faction status with Spirit Wardens and gets a prison claim: Guard Patrol).
“He lives, he dies, he lives again” The chant of the Defenders as Harland returns, they all worship him.
Wend and Harland that the super awkward conversation.
Harland and Hix have a real heart to heart. “I can try to climb into the shell of my old life and food off others, or I can rot and go insane.” Harland wants another way…a true path.
Hix tries to talk him down, she’s done some research. She unfolds a nightmare tower. Harland is both intrigued and terrified.
Acquire asset: A Tier 3 seaworthy boat.
