Session 41: Into the frey Report

General Summary

The blade came down on Obadai Mewskin bound wrist and sliced cleanly through bone and muscle, Obadai screamed in agony. Before he could regain his composure the blade came down again, this time severing his other hand, both limbs flung freely from the tethers spraying blood across the room and Dahlia Di Mare bust! Malar Naskin stood vengeful above the man, his judgment dished out like a cold stew, turning Mal left the room, his cadre following close behind. The main room of the tavern looked bare, tables and chairs, mugs and bottles, even the candelabra and paintings all striped from the scene, a fellow struggles with the wooden wall paneling, trying to take as much as possible before the inevitable destruction of the tavern. "What now?" Petros exclaims "Perhaps a drink!" Dahlia utters, her throat parched from all of the excitement. The group looks at Mal, almost staying, "Surely you have a secret stash in this place?" His memory fogged by time and circumstance doesn't prevent Mal from remembering the location of his secret hoard. A simple twist of the wrist in a small cupboard reveals a flight of dark stairs that lead into the basement. In the flickering candlelight barrels of ale and pickled goods come into focus, the Red Dragon Party settles in for an epic session of drinking but something plagues Mal's mind, he doesn't want Obadai to die when they inevitably burn this place to the ground! Looking at Mal the ever blunt Struth utters "This place is stripped clean, we need to burn it to the ground!" "Let's do it!" Tyrian Di Mare agrees whole heartedly. Lowering his head while tilting it to the side Mal announces, "I must do something first, then you can do as you please!" Leaving with Tyrian and Dahlia, Mal starts to relocate Obadai to the front wagon circle of the tavern, and as they settle his body down several glowing balls of fire enter the tavern and start to destroy it. "It is done, this part of my life is over, like the phoenix I am born anew!" Mal states as the flaming light of the structure glows in his face.

After hiking through the afternoon the party finds themselves deep within the lightly wooded fields of the Unnamed Prairie, the donkey (Pickles) carrying the vast hoard of ale and pickles staggering along behind the group. Soon enough the camp is set and the group is ready to take a long sought after rest. The fire burns crisply and the stars wheel above, the great dragon arching from horizon to horizon. Mal fiddles with the fire before looking to Mary Brown "What is next for me Mary?" Looking deeply at Mal, Mary tilts her head, "You're on your way to salvation and your new life Mal!" Looking into his eyes she says with a slight touch of menace, "Only one thing stands in your way to complete freedom!"
