Relic hunters 28: Phoebe, Elves and memories

General Summary

The session starts with the party traveling to find Phoebe. They travel through a mountain pass. This took them 5 days untill they find Phoebe using magic from Eris. They find Phoebe off from a main road, hiding from people. Deckie managaes to calm her down and she explains that Decleas was kidnapped during the night and that she ran unsure of what to do. The party would go and find Decleas for Phoebe. Eris uses the same magic she did to find Phoebe again and through that they find Decleas off the mountain trail path. As the party approaches they quickly stop a trap with a bell to be triggered and then see a human woman with bow and arrow looking at them. They convince her to point how to get up. As they do a man with a greatsword is waiting for them asking what they are doing here with a distrust. The party talks for a bit and figures out these are mercaneries that captures Decleas and are still attempting to capture Phoebe in order of the Priest that accompanies them too. Once they learn that the party decided to pay off the mercaneries to leave which they accept, and the priest is left standing, too weak to do anything he is foreced to leave saying he will come back if Phoebe is not dealt with.
After that the party starts to travel back quickly to be in time at Noxudem to meet the elves there. The party travels across 5 days and is a bit late. They find the elves in a Tavern having rented the entire second floor. There the party and elves discuss. The elves are unwilling to give up armies unless the party helps break a siege in the town of Lullin which has been holding armies back for a move further east across the peninssula in their war. The party agrees to help after the The Devoted are dealt with, in return they would gain a small group of paladins and Revali themselves as help. Revali went to prepare the bond to make sure everybody would keep to the deal.
The party also checked up with Wilrug that finally got the location of Noha.
During the night the party wakes up to Zero his tattoo glowing up. As somebody called out to Sulyvahn he actually came out of the mark. The party talked with Sulyvahn's spirit and also quickly got Revali to prove what happened.
Meanwhile Zero didn't wake up as he was dreaming. He dreamt of memories of his own past. And through those memories his past was revealed to him. He saw his first memory out in the desert, then he turned back and saw a new memory: the words he heard were this is the last thing i do as myself please stop me, brother. The next memory he saw was that of a battlefield, covered in blood, trying to fight, he sees a woman he recognizes as Fana. He saw her reaching out to try and get to a place, as zero looks over he sees a ghoul about to stab a elf close by to him and in his memory he lunges forward and takes the hit. And as zero is stabbed and bleeds out he see the defeated battlefield, with the person he tried to protect dying anyway, Fana dying too, and in the distance he could see a younger Sulyvahn fleeing. In a memory further back there is a strategy meeting where the ghoul revealed to be named Ignorov. He suggested to go through the open fields, people were against it but Enkrana said they would do it, Enkrana is also the person that is stabbed in the later memory. Sitting in a camp Zero his old reincarnation is talking with Fana, Sulyvahn and a woman revealed to be Copy, during this Zero learns his old name: Doron. They were thinking about the past how all this started as all this war started because they met Enkrana. Meanwhile Zero can see that Enkrana is talking with Ignorov asking for more power from him, next to just supplies, Ignorov offers magic. Even further back battles were being won in a guarilla war style, you could see Copy using disguised to lure people into ambushes. You could see back in camp Ignorov meet Enkrana for the first time, while shady he quickly winds the resistance their trust with supplies. Doron is at a protest, he can see various people around him. They are talking with Enkrana and other people, as all of a sudden arrows we loosed and the crowd and panic errupted. After that attack Enkrana got angry and finally said he was done being peacefull.
