Burning Witch Adventurers Seasion #102: Two Corruptions Don’t Make A Right

Image
**This session takes place after the yet to be posted Burning Witch sessions #100 & 101. Complications (i.e. a forgetful DM) to the end of that Burning Witch run and me just being behind has those session currently un-recapped.**  Autumn has been trying to make its way into Ur-Dan. The days in Orm were leaden and blustery but the suffocating humidity meant that Harvest wasn't here just yet. The warm nights have seen Ormans most closely connected to the profound and the profane visited by vivid, fever-dream like phantasmagoria all centered around a black pyramid. One of those Ormans has been Phasmo, Philosopher in the Transcendental Congress of the Aureate Precepts. More relevant at this moment than the magic-user's standing in his magical order, though, is that he retains the services of a dispossessed elf named Lirazil.

Interlude: The Interrogation of a Member of the Order of the Illuminated Eye

Image
Sergio Canksore the Half-Elf, Betina the Veteran, Avreml Oofnik the Beet Thief, and the pair of Neophyte Magic-Users Journeyman Crannoc and Phasmo--this loose association of the adventurers have all gather, let us say, in the attic room of the Burning Witch that Phasmo rents as his "laboratory". Seated before the group is their prisoner--a member of the Order of the Illuminated Eye. Upon exiting the underground structure, the Order initiate became immediately disoriented as her eyes meet the pale horizon under the light of that bloated, flickering sun. After a moment of disbelief, consciousness vacated her faculties and the party bore the fainted being to the Burnig Witch . It is only now that she stirs awake--propped up in a wooden chair. The drafty air causes her exposed skin to erupt in goose bumps, her strange armor rests on the other side of the room on Phasmo's workbench.
