Session 20: Girlbossing too Close to the Sun, then Punching the Sun in the Face

Prompt:  Resolutions and Promises


·         Harvey:  Be more trusting.


·         Valon:  Committed to bringing Kas back.


·         Kas:  Don’t let my friends down!


·         Paws:  Gotta find Tys.


·         Searos:  Be part of the pack!


The Journey So Far…


·         The party tries to navigate and escape the wide mass of moving rocks, mud, and tree branches that threaten to bury each of them alive.  Acting quickly and decisively, Paws picks up Searos and runs to safety at the slide’s margins.  The pair, Searos in the form of a fire-crested giant elk, run at top speed to catch up with their friends taken by the moving debris.


·         Harvey, Krik, and Krak trudge slowly through the churning dirt towards the safety of the stable tree line.  Valon seizes a bead of force and cracks it against his own chest, triggering the bead’s defensive effect:  a bubble of force begins to form around himself, Pel, and Kas, but the results quickly turn disastrous.  Kas resists the bead’s containment and is propelled into the muddy darkness of the rockslide as she sees Pel stricken down by the force of the blast.


·         As the rockslide slows, Harvey and the mules are buried and Valon is entombed in a translucent bubble with Pel’s body.  Harvey and the mules dig themselves from the settled debris.  Valon breaks down over Pel and speaks to Kas as though she were his sister Ylsana.


·         As the group collects themselves, the “wardens” emerge from the woods and demand the tunneler’s crystal “heart”.  Faced with another loss, Kas unleashes wave upon wave of thunder, felling the leader and gravely injuring others in the entourage in seconds.  As the rest of the ambushers fall one by one, a lone warden, injured and trailing blood, attempts to sneak to safety as Harvey’s marksman eye unwaveringly follows.

Kas dreams and sleeps. a long dark corridor in a dim castle/ fortress. at the very end, there is a tiny pinprick of light. I head to it. as i continue, i see a small little pearl glimmering in the darkness. It feels so familiar. it feels like a key to something and I reach out to take it and the light fades and i feel a small hand on my arm / "you'll find it again someday" dillup. and we awaken. chirpping birds in the house






Goal: If Pel goes bad and we have to kill him to stop the apocalypses and stopping him will also kill me (thanks Raven Queen), I need to sing "do you want to hear the bells now) and kill him myself.
