Session 24 "The Spark of Freedom" Report
General Summary
After a long battle and laying to rest a dear friend the remainder of the Raven's Alliance and their new allies find rest for the night. Proceeding on the next couple of days with Gunthar leading (with a few directional mishaps), Isaac soon discovers his sister's spirit is in the ring he took off of her. Even in death the younger tiefling taunts her older sibling. Slinger realizes the new comers wear the familiar crimson cloaks of the Crimson Company and approaches them the second night on the road showing them the flask he received from Ramik. The following day they arrive in sight of Emish and quickly discover that the small port has quickly changed. New guards are posted as ships burn in the harbor. Quickly gaining entry into the town they find members of the Platinum Order alongside with the Crimson Company escorting prisoners, rescuing captives, and executing the more heinous of Virnagul's citizens. Making their way to the docks where command tents have been erected they are reunited with Captain Quintuensin along with the Captain and Commander of the Demeter and the 5th Platinum Legion. They explain that the Demeter had come across the Deismos in the archipelago and with further orders proceeded in to capture Emish with the aid of the Crimson Company's force. Bells begin to toll as alerts of a new ship arrives. Watching Gunthar realizes it's the Order's flagship the Artemis. As the mighty vessel docks, the Lord-Commander of the Shining Coast, general of the Crimson Company, and chancellor of the Selkre'j Isto disembark along with a gold dragonborn and the Lord-Commander's honor guard. Gathering the group in the tent the Lord-Commander explains that they had received word from a Captain Lorian from Hawold that revolution had begun due to acts of the a small group of adventurers and as they were in the area for diplomatic reasons decided to press the advantage and began landing forces to help the group of rebels fight for Virnagul's future. Gunthar debrief's the Lord-Commander on the occurrences and provides letters to the diplomat, Ethinclaw who had traveled with him as well as one to Ryancy. As the rest of the group goes to rest, Sordrin and Slinger come across Captain Ramik and through short conversation Captain Ramik releases Sordrin from her duties to travel with the Raven's. Unbeknownst to her the Captain knowing of her history is looking to help the young Isto start a new life. The party gathers aboard the Deismos and Gunthar returning from his meeting presents Ethinclaw with his missive to which he finds out he will also be traveling to Faribyr with the Raven's with a message for Gashak. Sordrin is distressed at the news of her dismissal. Captain Quintuensin alerts the gathered group that they will be leaving on the morrow at dawn. Isaac and Gunthar fear that the ring will drive Isaac mad and Gunthar takes the ring to aid his friend. The trapped tiefling soon turns her attention to the beleaguered dragoborn. The following morning the Deismos departs to head back home. They sail for the next week and half and soon arrive at Alaca. During the trip Lillyanna discovers that Isaac has been overfeeding Toodles with Isaac explaining he didn't want the poor ferret to go hungry. Now overweight and sick from the food the miserable ferret stays in his pack. After arriving at Alaca, the growing Raven's Alliance disembarks with their mounts and makes way toward Faribyr. During the trip they come upon the smoldering ruins of Tavia with an ominous note posted. Several days later they soon find themselves back home where reports are made and reunions are had. The reunions are happy except for a period where Gunthar and Isaac face 3 very unhappy women. Ryancy is proclaimed the temporary Pro-Consul and begins the return to Wamor to take the seat upon orders of the Lord-Commander. Gashak, much to his chagrin, is made governor of what now becomes the Eastern Marches his domain now covering 200 miles to the west and north and the borders to the east and south. After hardships upon the road the Raven's Alliance prepare for things to come.
