The Argos member that came to the camp to talk was Decleas. He came to plead for mecry asking to be left alone and that they would leave Mytaneia. He also came with the truth saying that he and the rest of the argos were escapees from a prison and they were now out to get revenge against that prison that was feeding them to a demon and Acromea the country that organizes that prison. The only way that decleas saw to do that was by using a army of demons that he believed he could get using the arlyndas stones somehow. The party confirmed all this using a truth zone spell by eris. Deckie also asked about Phoebe and how Decleas met her. He confessed he saw her as a daughter but that he isn't the biological father, he met her in the prison where he started taking care of her when she was around 13 or 14. The party had a talk away from decleas and evetually decided that they would still care on with the killing because they saw no good option. Krymmenos suggested to lie to decleas saying they would help to make their job easier through the deception, since they would stay put and wait for them. The party agreed but didn't want to be the ones to say it. so Krymmenos went and did so. His words were believed. The main reason why Decleas wanted to leave is because Phoebe had caught Demon fever, the symptoms that happen before a person gets partially corrupted by the demonic energies of the land.
Afterwards Deckie took Lyxsas and Eris apart to the stables to ask Lyxsas in secret about the Arlyndas stones and to ask him what he knew. Lyxsas gave some information and said he would investigate. Deckie left then but Eris stayed with Lyxsas for a bit. Eris confessed her love for Lyxsas and lyxsas returned the sentiment by kissing her.
The next day the party together with the small army traveled to the Argos camp to exterminate them all. The army surrounded the camps while Krymmenos with some guards and the party went to the center where Decleas and Phoebe were. After they first asked to get the weapons from the people but word got in that they were being attacked before a decision was made a fight begun. The party only knocked people unconscious except for "eyes" that come out of 1 of the tents who Leo was sniping down with Radiant bolts and nearly ending. However while the fight was going on Phoebe's demon fevor ended and she became corrupted. When the fighting stopped around the center to see what was going on most of the party except for Leo who had defeated but not killed "eyes" yet. They saw Phoebe and Decleas trying to get through to her but she seemed to not respond to anything she had been corrupted as her mouth had grown to long, unnaturaly so and more mouthers sprouted over her body. She had become gaunt and then to the point you could see her ribs clearly.
session lasted 1 day, it ended on the 12th of Salic
