Session 118: I should be proficient in cuddles and telling the truth

General Summary

Robyn enters the room; to everyone else via a black void; to her she can see seven plinths ahead. The atmosphere changes and the air seems warm compared to the fresh breeze and the shifting on the wastes. The room is white marble, with seven plinths, each around ten-feet apart. Six glow; the seventh is empy. Left to right:

• Light blue
• Light green
• Teal
• Red
• Pearlescent
• Glowing black
• and the last orb, yellowish, dim and unlit

The writings on the wall look celestial, and Robyn talking into the bracelet doesn't reach the others.
Initially voices fill the room in a language Robyn doesn't understand, but then it changes.
Teal: "Stormwalker" "Who am I talking to?" "An echo of once that was. Have you come to pay reverence? Three questions, to be answered to the best of our collective knowledge."
Green: "Though we do not know all that has transpired, we do know all that we have seen."
Black: The fragments of our souls reside here following our passing.  One is yet to pass; his soul remains alive in your world.  
Mention that we're heading West for Liv who is his descendent: It is not unusual for acolytes to be bestowed power.
Long have we awaited his arrival.
The red orb glows, pure anger emanating from it, causing Robyn's ears to ring, the feeling of rage and want for vengeance.
Do you know what happened? Teal (Kothar): We were slain from the inside, our souls torn from our bodies by a magical source, our life ripped away one by one. By the time we figured it out, it was too late. 
A device constructed purely to feed power to one at the expense of any soul. I foresaw this but did not recognise its purpose.
The staff, a piece can take him (Peni) back, the whole can take several back. This too I foresaw. The staff is hidden, so that those who seek it for ill may not lay their hands on it. Shattered and scattered.
I know not what thread have been pulled since my passing, so I am unsure where it is. I do not know the state of the world now.
Black (Ulith?): We have not the ability anymore to inflict any lasting ... (notes incomplete, my bad)
The sould anchor was in construction as a tower in Bastion. Armies were marching upon civilisation - rest of the known world had already been destroyed. The anchor was activated to destroy armies.
If the archive has not changed orientation, and the chamber is unmoved, Aroc's Peak is the fourth mountain to the north as you face the range, to the right of the highest peak.
A voice I hadn't yet heard speaks (iridescent?): Please understand child we are but the echoes of the souls We wish you could give you the answers you may undo this travesty We are bound by laws of magic that allows us to remain as fragments
Where do the souls of mortals go Can you feel that anymore We are unsure, previously the souls were laid to rest Previously they were taken across the veil by myself Now we do not now

Next: Session 119: Maybe we're just better at stabbing things

Is Sarendial still alive - YES Is it someone I already know - YES Is Sarendial the person I know to be Da Otho - YES

• Rel uses Sending to message Elirith; she sounds flustered and nervous. "Hi I'm jealous miss you all too, things are busy stay safe"
• Feel like being watched at camp; find footprints with too pronged toes heading to the mountain, birdlike creature.
