General Summary
Surface Tension
The Holy Praetoria's unexpected arrival at the Monster’s Milk stirs trouble in what was once a lively atmosphere. Gloinn and his impromptu band try to defuse the tension by energizing the crowd with music, distracting some from pursuing the Praetorians. Meanwhile, Paz is escorted away by members of the mysterious Revenants, seemingly on a path to uncover more about his enigmatic past as a Seeker. The long-elusive name, Alaric Pazrael, appears on a nameplate, hinting at long-awaited answers. But as the Praetorians provoke further unrest, Paz decides to help drive them out.Overflow
Zero finds herself in a high-stakes confrontation with an Aegis of the Holy Praetoria, her overly relaxed demeanor betraying the tension in the air. The insufferable man, after consuming enough alcohol to floor anyone else, issues a menacing ultimatum to the warlock: find the tavern's owner, or everyone will face dire consequences. Brought to a breaking point, Zero ignites a violent clash with the dark paladins.Sink or Swim
Chaos erupts in the Monster’s Milk as combat breaks out. Loghain cuts through the ranks of the Praetoria with divine vengeance, while Zero, Cul, and Paz unleash their magic in a fierce battle to both attack and defend. Gloinn, seeing the danger, rallies the defenseless patrons to take up arms. But the situation escalates as more Praetorians enter the tavern from the back, dousing the area with alcohol and igniting it. The Aegis falls, but not before giving the Praetorians the order to set the front of the tavern ablaze. Amidst the chaos, Loghain maintains his resolve, guiding the patrons to safety while Cul and Zero desperately search for water to quench the spreading fire.Diffusion
With the Praetoria retreating, the Departed are left with a harrowing choice. The tavern’s wooden walls are now engulfed in flames, the patrons' screams rising from within, while the remaining Praetorians have fled, carrying dangerous knowledge of the party’s arcane powers. The group must now decide: will they save the tavern and its people from being reduced to ashes, or will they abandon the only haven for the Aramore peoples to protect themselves from the consequences?
