Session 7: Critical Care Report

General Summary

Last we left off, the group still reeling from the events that had transpired at the elven courts found themselves in disarray and exhaustion. Ray wandered into the church across from the hospital and waited to see if he could find Seraphine Virelle, but alas she did not show. He ended up pledging himself to the goddess Bhita Goddess of Art, Commerce, and the Modern World and traded in some of the strength he had previous gained for a different kind of strength, one of divinity. Returning back to the group, they slowly drifted off to sleep. A new day arrived, good news everyone! The blade made it through his surgery and didn't make a liar out of the meowgician; however, the payment for this was steep, but fear not. The good doctor in the great city of Trealing had a plan for them. He had a few tasks for them to perform to pay off the debt with the help of his assistant Pip Blackthumb. The group was first led to a ward on the backside of the hospital where 15 patrons who had run out of money had to be administered a final treatment. Aeren Grimvein realized that this was euthanasia; however, the feeling of loss had kind of numbed him to it and her performed his task with dignity and flair, nearly gaining him a position as a doctor in the great city of healing. Next the group went to an orphanage where they gathered children up to be sent to the good doctor's charity site, where they would be fed, returned to the pinnacle of health, and would eventually be given use to society. It was at this time that one of the people running the orphanage mentioned that they had not seen Seraphine lately. Ghost shifted away to go investigate the clinic where she found a small home built into the back of it and a crackhead rummaging through some of the supplies. Outside of thieves searching for their next score, the house portion did not seem out of sorts. There was no sign of forced entry. There was no sign that she'd even left. It was also during this time that Rheese decided to get violent against pip FOR NO REASON! and punched him twice. Ghost returned to the group and informed Ray, they made their way to the hospital where Rheese decided to stay behind, Pip had a conversation with one of the guards, and the group was off to their next stop, a dance studio and an instructor with a balance not met. Well, a small fight ensued as she tried to escape, and the group was able to remove the leg and take it back to the hospital. During this time, Rheese had a conversation with the blade Annghorhast before being attacked from behind and knocked out. The last stop that the group made was to a few patrons that owed some money, and it went swimmingly. They were able to convince them to pay off their debts and return back to the hospital. What a wonderful day indeed for the great city of Trealing, all items on the list were completed with precision. Pip led them through the winding pathways of the hospital to return them to their comrade before shutting them in a room where the floor opened up underneath them. They slid down and landed in a pit of despair, finding Rheese and one other, a light faith-based man named Torrin who had offered himself as payment to save his son. A creature (shall we say a flesh hydra) erupted from a pile of dirt, bones, and sinew and attacked the group. They dispatched it with the help of Torrin who wielded the blade after Aeren had fallen and moved down the hallway. Each room they opened they saw more and more horrors. Skeletons of children and adults, tortured and left for dead. Within these rooms they found a ring and a wand before coming across a nurse and a pool of bodies in the middle of the room, groaning and crying out for help. Twisted against a tree as if they were being grown or cultivated. Another battle ensued. Ray gathered some medical supplies there and decided to make a syringe cocktail of death. The group continued down, finding that there were eyes strung about rooms and corners of the hallways watching them and made their way to a set of steel double doors. Ray blasted them open and inside they found the doctor and Seraphine who was sleeping in a chair with two Ivs stuck in her arm, one drawing out golden blood and the other returning undivine blood back into her body. Ray saw red and pulled out Noose and both him and Ghost attacked. Rheese ran in and tried to save her, snatching her out of the chair, but the doctor injected him with a serum that paralyzed him and the two crashed to the ground. The power went out and she woke up, exclaiming, "What's going on? You said the power would stay on when you pulled me out!" Ray leapt in the room with noose, attempting to pin the doctor against the wall, but all he accomplished was torching the notes that had been placed on the desk in the corner of the room. Aeren picked Seraphine up and placed her back in the chair and with GREAT PRECISION worthy of the GREAT CITY OF TREALING he hooked her back into the chair where the blood flow started moving again. The doctor turned seeing this and ensured that she was hooked up correctly before Noose Noosed the doctor up, grappling him and ray stabbed him in the neck with the cocktail of death. The doctor wasn't expecting this and the amalgamation of "stuff" that entered his body caused him to begin convulsing and foaming at the mouth. As the lights slowly began to flicker on, Ray saw the light of life fade out of the doctor's eyes.

Ray then used his iStone to call his mother, explaining what had happened and that she needed to come there with their best and brightest to take care of a situation where he left notes, and he went to Torrin's kid and healed him. Ghost scoured the hospital far and wide, searching for pip who was nowhere to be found. Aeren went to check on the blade with Rheese trailing behind him and waiting outside the door in the hallway. After some words, the blade sought death. Unhinged-hast attacked Aeren and killed him, not with hands, but with the blade itself. Aeren on the other hand, woke up in a field of ashes and death in front of a throne by a woman in an icy crown who exclaimed, "We have much to discuss young one..."

So, here we are. A blade covered in blood. Ray just saving a child with a happy father praising the light bringer. Ghost searching the hospital. Rheese standing outside of a room having just heard a commotion. So, starting with the blade and the gnorc, I ask you...what do now?
