Illegal jobs with no training.

by Asharene Shadowthorn

The Baron says he's going to take us to the person who can take us to Yannis. We start to follow. As we walk, it seems as if we are constantly in the center of the room.
 
He tells us he can bring us to a memory of a friend , a fey or to a memory of Imogene? We decide to go see a memory of a friend.
 
We approach a door that materializes in the center of the room, and it floats towards us. The Baron opens that door, and we see what looks like green water with flowers and ivy everywhere. There are birds singing, straight ahead. To the left, there is a field of yellow flowers. To the right is a tavern with cobblestone, and it's night time.
 
The left is the memory of Imogene. the middle is the fey, and the tavern is the friend.
 
We head towards the tavern.
 
Inside, we see a man dressed all in red. He's talking to some ladies. Craig buys some drinks and approaches them all. HIs name is Remish, and we ask if he can take us to Yannis. We follow him to the tomb that we were initially cleaning. WE discover this is about 15 years in the past.
 
WE walk by the room that was locked and we see runes on them, but no shadows this time. The door does not open. We ask him if this is the tomb of the unknown king. He says no, It's the tomb of King Aucksef. He doesn't know much about him. Also, this place is not very dangerous.
 
Azara realizes that if nobody remembers the door opening, then the door cannot open. So Evangeline "remembers" Imogene going through the door and it opening, and when she does this, we kind of play through the whole memory somehow and the door does open. We do not have reflections here, but Imogene has the reflection of Evangeline.
 
She sees the conversation play out and when the reflection tells Imogene that she can never get rid of her. Imogene says "Oh yes I can" and she strikes the mirror with a mirror and the reflection of Evangeline dissipates. Evangeline tries to interact with Imogene, but then everything fades away.
 
Thunda did get to see the treasure that we missed from before, but couldn't take any of it.
 
What was that hammer that Imogene used? Did it actually get rid of the reflection?
 
anyway, we follow Remish to the tomb, he pushes on it, it opens, and reveals a set of stairs. Evangeline draws a what turns out to be the best sun ever on the wall of this entrance, to see if it will be there in the future, if we ever make it back.
 
Evangeline makes a joke that maybe when she retires from murder and assassination, maybe she'll go into stone work, and Remish says, "interesting. I thought you always wanted to be an inn keeper"
 
This leads to a discussion about how Remish thinks Evangeline is, but it goes nowhere.
 
We continue down the stairs.
 
there is grass down there. There is a cairn down there., but there is on king's body down here.
 
We then see Remish's memory play out, and we see Yannis and Imogene walking down the stairs. They are arguing about having a torch lit or not.
 
It leads to her telling Yannis to just go by himself and she lets him continue and she goes back.
 
We start trying to figure out the order of events and then we see Remish tell her off upstairs about how she was yelling at Yannis for being careless, but she herself walked into a room all alone. before. She tells Remish to shut the fuck up.
 
At that moment Thunda touches the cairn and disappears. Remish says he will go hceck on her, and everyone else follows. vangeline stays back for a minute and Remish shows back up and says everyone is ok. He does ask if she is SURE she wants to do this, and Evanteline tries to get him to clarify why he would ask that, but he just smirks and disappers.
 
ONce everone has gone inside the cairn, Evangeline immediately feels like she is falling darkness, and she gets a memory of IMogene holding her hand. It's like she touched the Carin, and starts to fall, and Imogene comes out of nowhere and clasps on to her hand. Evangeline screams, "Don't let me go", but it doesn't sound like her voice. ....Evangeline screams out "What's happening" and Imogene, terrified goes "You're not Yannis" and let's her go.
 
At that moment, we all land in a pool of water.
 
We see Yannis at the edge of the water holding his hand out to help us out. Yannis tells us we've made a grave mistake by coming here.
 
We learn the last time he saw IMogene, she let him fall. He's been here ever since. When we ask who the Yannis at the Inn is, he seems confused.
 
He shows us what happened. He opens a stone door, then we see a long onyx pathway. It's a huge cavern with a bridge that goes through the center. Inside a is a giant with black curly hair. He's wearing a white marble mask. In the center of his chest there is a gigantic silver spear impaling him on what seems to be a gigantic half sun with rays coming out of it. As we approach, we can see the eyes behind the mask following us.
 
This giant's name is Conquest.
 
We learn that if Conquest was to be released on the world, it would start a devastation that could ruin everything. HIs presence here somehow keeps this giant from leaving. If we try to release him, Yannis will kill us.
 
When we ask about the other Yannis, he seems to have no idea as to what we are talking about.
 
WE learn the Curator and the Baron are part of Yannis. Evangeline notices that the mask on the giant is the same mask she has from the people who killed her family.
 
In a rage Evangeline confronts Yannis. She learns that his group had 4 masks.
 
The HeadMaster- Solan
The Red Flame
All 4 had masks
Remish
Imogene
Yannis
Solan
 
Upon investigation, we see that the mask isn't exactly the same, but it is similar. The mask on the giant is what keeps it from pulling the spear from itself and escaping.
 
Tibilt says that if they were called the Red Flame, then the students at the academy being called Embers could indicate that the headmaster is behind this.
 
TIbilt tells us that his Patron Lady Adderley sent him here, and she was worried about something involving a mask, but he doesn't know the details of it.
 
We learn that Yannis is no longer friends with Solan....something to do with Solan and Imogene.
 
We learn that Conquest is the one summoning all the monsters now trying to build an army. That why we have to clear out the caves and lands now. He has brothers as well. Pestilence, War and Death.
 
The cairns were built 3000 years ago. The 4 brothers are supposed to arise together at some point?? The other 3 were supposed to go handle them, but he doesn't know if that happened.
 
They made masks for all the brothers, but Remish doesn't know what happened to them.
 
Evangeline asks Yannis if they can bring him anything, and he says he hasn't a Jammy Dodger in a long time. Evangeline will try to bring some for him one day. MOre than that though, he wants to make sure nobody else finds this place.
 
When they were hunting down the brothers, they learned that nothing can be changed in the world. BUT together, lined up like a pancake stacked ontop of eachother are realities stacked on each other. So you can will possibilities form any one of those realities?
 
Themon is like this is bullshit, and Yannis is like, I'll do it for you. And then we appear outside the tomb, where Tyrion is waiting for us.
 
He tells us we've missed the boat and Solan has summoned us, because we have no shadows again?
 
We get back up to the HM office and Dustera is there. She says Solan isn't here. Thunda is PISSED. and wants to kill Tyrion because she blames him for missing everything. She feels like we are being sabotaged.
 
We wait in the waiting area. Craig has received a package from the academy for his birthday.
 
Evangeline tries to draw a picture of the mask for Tibilt's patron so he can write her, but it's not very good
 
Themon sees something moving by the bookcase in the office. Thunda and Themon sneak in and see him in there.
 
WE all go sit in his office. Azara and Tibilt have shadows, the rest of us do not.
 
Themon tells him EVERYTHING minus the masks, of what we have experienced. EVERYTHING. Solan then tells us we have all passed the entrance exams.
 
Solan asks Evangeline to stay behind as the other leave. Thaddius arrives for this little meeting.
 
Solan wants Evangeline to convince her friends and lead them to assasinate a guy at a parade. His name is Preson
 
Target:
AT Velscar Beach, there is a town near by. There is going to be a big parade there. During the parade, we are going to assassinate a fellow named Presone.
The client thinks Presone is behind the murder of her father.
 
The parade is 3 days from now.
We have to find our own way across the sea.
We cannot use any resources from Velcna for this
The client will meet us at our room at the inn
If we decline to to do this, we will all be banished from the academy
Evangeline notices that Thadius isn't defending her at all.
She feels betrayed by him and and is worried that they are having her do an evil thing
 
She tells the group about this. Thunda suggest that we fail without getting caught.
 
Thaddius comes out and tells her that he will actually help us as he doesn't trust Solan, but he's not going to say as much to has face.
 
Thaddius asks to meet Evangeline at "the spot" later.
 
We discuss Craig being a possible destraction for all of this, no matter what. And we try to figure out how we are going to get to the beach if we can't use the school boat.
 
As we go to leave we see an older guy dressed in white and holy symbols with a younger lady walk in to talk to Solan.
 
We go to the cafeteria and in her desperation for a hot dog she steals two from Aether and gives one to Themon.
 
We discuss that maybe we just take the boat across, because that's the least suspicious move.
 
We get some sleep. Thadius and Evangeline have an offscreen meeting.
 
The client meets with us the next morning. We learn that her body guard was murdered in the middle of the night. Solan is taking care of it.
She says that somebody must know about this and doesn't want the assassination to take place?? She tells us about Presone. He's a WHIP. He gets everyone in line.
 
She says he killed her father. There was a very important vote that her father stood up against Presone and then he turned up dead. Apparently this has happened before. It's rumored that he has an encrypted ledger if we need proof.
 
They are close to Hearth.
 
Evangeline says we could try to talk Solan into having the school raise the body guard so we can ask what happened. We were just about to head to Solan's office with Aether and Tyrion walk in and point at Themon and Thunda and say they were out past curfew when "The incident" happened. and this is where we end.
