Session 17: Callum's Reflection

by Callum Virtaernus

Hearing the story from Kal, Sadachbia, and Honorine was a little unsettling, but I trust my friends. Just glad they managed to get out of that situation. Maybe even make a friend or ally along the way if Illeariettis is amiable to that. At least we share a common interest in seeing the destruction of the Cassalanters. I'm making it a point to look after Honorine, though. I hope the dragon's spirit considers my friend's wellbeing along with her desire for revenge.
 
At least the hoard was a boon to us. Orion especially. I know the imp has needed an upgrade for his weapons, so hopefully this will get him that much closer. As for the rest of us, this amulet will come in handy, especially with what we're about to do, given what we've learned about the Cassalanter estate and their numerous allies. Questioning that mage was as insightful as it was unsettling, and it looks like the Devil has overstepped a bit in the enemies he's accrued through eons of sabotage and deceit. But it's still our problem to deal with on the material plane, and we can't take any fiend lightly, much less those who are powerful enough to summon and entice them into service. Just as I had to show the mage what I really was, so I'm resolved to do so against the rest of that corrupted family, but in far more abrupt measures. I don't think there's any time or room for mercy in this. Not with what they would do with Vecna, Glasya, and the others.
 
I'm not looking forward to another potential with the Lord of Hell, but I gave my word. And I hope Kal knows what he's doing, but then, he always has. I've come to trust my friend's judgement as well as my own. Whatever happens at that summit, we'll face it together. And in that line of thought, I also wonder if there's another who I should bring along when we take this fight to our enemies.
 
Zora has proven herself beyond capable. Not that she ever had to, but now, I see the woman she's become as well as the warrior. She's been there once before and survived. I know she'd be a great help, it's just...what kind of father am I if I subject her to such potential harm? Or as I've come to realize, what kind of father forces her to sit and watch rather than take her fate into her hands? She deserves it as much as I do. As any of us do.
 
We're in this together. The choice is hers to make, I suppose. I'm glad we'll have one more night to brace for what comes next.
