We really struggled to get far this session, due to silly debates and inter-talking. It was raised that some fights have been unwinnable and not enjoyable, I will attempt to change this moving forward to find a balance between realism (such as picking a fight with a fucking vampire lord) and helping the party.
The party spoke with the Sultana, who lightly scolded them for some of their actions as she dropped off Ariange
The party attacked and secured the courtyard of the Chapel, taking down the undead Templars outside, they found their carriage and horses intact, but the demon sword taken. Upon opening the door to the chapel they were hit with a wave of necromatic energy that washed over the pile of smoldering bodies in the courtyard, reanimating them into a swarm of zombies that attacked, they were able to take it down and moved on into the chapel.
Here they found a room full of dead Saxon mercs, Pauline is not among the bodies, but Arnaldus was there, or at least his corpse was torn apart by Selena, Handmaiden of the Raven, a vampire trapped in a ritual circle in the center of the room. She is supposedly sent here by the Raven Goddess herself to figure out who is doing so many incomplete rituals and to put a stop to the mess they are making.
It seems that despite missing the last coin needed to complete the ritual, Renald continued attempting them, once with the Saxons and again with all of the beggers and sick outside the gates. These half completed rituals have transformed those inside the Chapel into undead abominations, its likely that those loyal to Renald and Renald himself have also been twisted.
The players ended here, with many things and people to talk to, and in fact, if you want Inspiration all you have to do is some RP over discord, it doesnt have to be long, heck, just ask Selena a question or something and that will count. Sorry we cant play for so long, hope this helps, now wish Ravnica good luck... they will need it.
