Conversation with my Reach. 2021/03/25

by Elliot Savage

We arrived at StoneRang, and Sala went to the guardhouse to warn them about the Coalition.
The others went to find an inn.
 
I lingered, searching for any signs of pursuit.

I heard sounds of fighting, and rushed to the guardhouse.
 
Four Magen had reached to the guardhouse, Sala was able to kill two of them, the guards were able to take the others before I arrived.
 
They took us to see the Lady of StoneRang.
 
She asked us about the Coalition, if we knew why they were there.
 
Sala told her that they had attacked Rhodes, and they seemed to be looking for someone.
 
Her guards had not seen a grey cloaked Magen among them.
 
The rest of our group were brought in, and we were ushered to a room filled with doors.
 
We sat at a table and continued to discuss the Coalition.
 
Jalem came and gave a report to the queen regarding the attacking numbers.
 
She continued questioning us. Fynbar admitted that he was contacted by the Coalition.
 
She seemed confused as to why they would be after him, as he is not that powerful.
 
She agreed to keep us in a safe place, in case the Coalition returns.
She wants to find out what the Coalition is up to.
 
She offered us tickets to Dungeon Ball, and gave us an escort for additional protection.
 
 
We were escorted to the inn, and each had our own room.
 
I wasn't in the mood to rest, so I looked out the window.
 
I saw shadows everywhere. Impossible to know which were significant.
 
Sala left for a bit to go to the library. I think Fynbar went with him.
 
After a while, he returned, and we went to the Dungeon Ball game.
 
It turns out Red Jim used to play Dungeon Ball, and was fairly well know for it.
They asked him to break the first door.
 
While he charged the door, I began to think about what a bad idea this all was.
We were totally exposed, I began looking for an exit.
 
That's when I saw them....
 
They were intermixed with the crowd. I saw their hands preparing to case, and fireballs rushed towards us.
 
I shouted to the group, and got between Fynbar and the attackers, prepared to defend our position until I could find an exit.
 
Nothing happened...They all seemed to disappear a moment later.
 
I kept scanning the crowd, looking for them to appear again.
 
Jim returned to the box, but I didn't see them again.
 
Eventually the game was over, and we returned to the inn.
 
The attack seemed so real. But clearly it was not.
I kept playing it over an over again in my mind, like a record.
The music just kept starting over again and again.
 
We retired to the inn, and went up to our rooms to rest.
That's where we found them, flayed to death, stuck to the walls just like Oceanguard.
 
On our way to tell the guards, we met Nima bringing in the survivors of Rhodes. Apparently it was completely destroyed.
