Session 19: Winter's Tide Festival

After killing the Yetis that invaded Ranem, the group managed to help Kharur and Odetta restore order, and were called to a meeting with The Two. This meeting involved Kharur thanking the group again, and once more inviting them to the Winter's Tide Festival, which the group happily accepted. They all went back to Joe & Frank's to rest up and get ready for the busy Festival the next day. During this, the group thought and discussed the best way to keep themselves safe, as it was said that the Elder Druids would be attending to do the Moon Dance with the creatures surrounding Ranem, which meant Elder Semoron would be there, and they were informed that he had sent an assassin to kill her.

Longshot went out and spent a lot of money on new equipment, and getting into a yelling match with an angry dwarf.

After the Elder Druids arrived, Elder Semoron immediately began trying to convince Aristrianna to put on a special ring to help them do the Moon Dance, as the Circle of the Stars wasn't going to be attending, and they needed Aristrianna to take their place. Aristrianna politely refused, and was later greeted by Anayano, who gave her an amulet to protect against Semoron's magic. However, later, when Nyraevyn tried to examine it magically, Nyraevyn disappeared, leaving just the amulet in it's place. They kept the amulet safe, and put it into Katric's backpack.

After Longshot got into a physical fight with Elder Semoron, Aris calmed them down and agreed to the terms, and put on the ring. Afterwards, they went and did the ritual for the Moon Dance. It was beautiful, serene, but soon, Aristrianna was lifted up into the sky as Elder Semoron laughed hysterically, saying that Verona would very much accept and be gracious of this sacrifice.

And... that's where we left off.
