Session IV: Summoning Stacy's Mom Report

General Summary

The next morning, the Custodes  decide to investigate the ruins. They are able to confirm that they've found Alesia, where Vercingetorix was defeated by Julius Caesar. With Ashayet keeping an eye out, Aeneas and Theo(person) investigated the area to attempt to find the bandits as indicated by Theo's vision and Saorise Linnane  tried to learn more about the figures above the hill. Through a vision, she learned that the figures were the old Gallic gods, who had taken an oath from a mysterious figure on his sword to give up everything on behalf of his people and that the return of the sword - long since removed from Gaul - had woken up the slumbering gods.

Meanwhile, Aeneas and Theo found an old Gallic barrow that seemed to be the location of Theo's vision. Instead of risking themselves to further investigate, they returned to the ruins of Alesia to decide what to do next. Spooked by the description of Saorise's vision, the Custodes made haste for the academy at Augustodunum to attempt to get more information before proceeding.

After getting mysteriously lost on a road with no forks, they were able to go searching for clues. They determined that

• The sword in Saorise's vision was an old Gallic style weapon
• Alesia was the site of the end of Caesar's Gallic conquest
• And through a ritual that Aeneas thought that he had botched, they determined that the figure in the vision was Vercingetorix himself. 

With this piece of the puzzle obtained, Ashayet concluded that the sword must have belonged to the first victim of the bandits and that the magical interference that the Custodes had been sent to investigate is the stirring of the old gods. With a detachment of the garrison at Augustodunum under their command, they prepare to return to the Pagus Mandubiorum and stop Brenno and his bandits.
