Rhotinia: Ok Volmalric, that book looks... Interesting
Rhotinia: But we should probably head back
Rhotinia: It is getting late
GM: w/ Meltam ... Okay, you destroy the world, I guess we will spend the rest of the session making DCC characters.
GM: Oh, whoops. ;)
Rhotinia: And we really should talk to Meltam

You did succeed!
Rhotinia: It would be extremely poor manners, also my friend would have you killed
Rhotinia: So I would advise against it
Rhotinia: But come, we should get back
Volmalric: Agreed
Volmalric: What did you wind up finding out?
Rhotinia leads Volmalric back to Inn while they talk
Rhotinia: I don't know how you two managed to end up stuck between two forces this powerful...
Volmalric talks and walks
Volmalric: You would literally not believe the other things we've gotten stuck between
Volmalric: Meltam and Slumbara were both into some very strange things
Rhotinia: That scroll Pricess Rhiveth is after is some sort of otherwordly summoning spell. I believe she intends to use it to return from whatever realm she currently inhabits
Rhotinia: Along with gods know what other beings of that place
Volmalric: Mmmm, probably a bad sign then
Volmalric: I think we may have to look into her own lore and history to see what we can find about it
Volmalric: She's currently entombed in a Lemurian Crypt in Zingara right now
Rhotinia: And Cilissa is extremely dangerous
Rhotinia (whispering): If she finds out you are after that scroll, you won't live to see it
Asgrim walks into the Whisper Wood Inn at the same time as everyone else, smelling of alcohol and cheap perfume, with some lipstick smears on his face, large biceps, and other spots currently covered by disheveled clothing.
Asgrim: Todaysh been da greatestest day evar.
Meltam rolls a Sorcery test:
Target: 14 Focus: 2 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 2 Momentum: 1 [1d20.13+1d20.5 = 18]
You succeeded and generated momentum!
Volmalric: Honestly, I figured she'd just kill us after we found it
Rhotinia: I would be surprised if she didn't already know about Meltam's connection to Rhiveth. No doubt she is planning to use him to find the scroll so she can destroy it, and him, and you, and Rhiveth
Volmalric: Does she have history with the princess?
Rhotinia: Well the princess died ages before Cilissa was born, but she is known for her obsession with Acheronian artifacts, so it isn't a leap to think she knows much of Lemuria
Volmalric nods agreeably
Volmalric: Did you find anything about about her in your search? That was half of my goal, but apparently Lemuria had some...questionable pastimes, shall we say?
Volmalric: Way more on those than on actual historical figures
Rhotinia: I found no mention of a Rhiveth in the Acheronian or Lemurian geneologies. Based on her garb, she is probably from early Acheron or pre-Acheronian time. But I found no mention of her by name
Meltam rolls an Insight test:
Target: 11 Focus: 2 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.19+1d20.8 = 27]
You did succeed!
Volmalric: Uuugh, she could easily have lied about her name too
Volmalric: Which makes it even worse
Volmalric: Are there any specialists in Lemurian history that won't kill us on a whim?
Volmalric: Locally, ideally; my sources and contacts lie a fair bit to the north
Rhotinia: I can ask around, see if amy of my contacts knows anyone
Volmalric: Excellent
Volmalric: I'm thinking if we can't find her name, we source it down by locale
Volmalric: Though Meltam may be able to divine her true name
Volmalric: On the other hand, he also may turn us all into squids
Volmalric: It's kind of hit or miss
Rhotinia: Yes... I will ask around
Volmalric chuckles at the squid comment, because that's silly
Rhotinia: I would prefer not to be the subject of any of his... spells....
Volmalric: It's always crabs

Rhotinia catches back up with Volmalric at the Inn
Rhotinia: There may be a scholar on Seaward Street we could talk to, but I think we should bring Meltam with us
Volmalric: Sounds good, he should be back at the inn by now
Rhotinia: Let us hope that he and that Asgrim fellow haven't caused too much trouble.
Rhotinia and Volmalric here a strange commotion and walk around to the side of inn and find Meltam standing next to Sophie, who is devouring some sort of incredibly nasty looking substance with ravenous, monstrous glee. Bridgit runs out of the building and slams into Sophie.
Bridgit: No! Don't eat it!
Sophie: HE HAS MOAR! NEED MOAR!
Bridgit: YOU ASSHOLE!
Meltam: I dunno what I did.
Bridgit leaps on Meltam.
Bridgit: DIE DIE DIE!
Rhotinia: Everyone, calm down!
Bridgit is punching Meltam.

Sophie is continuing to eat, oblivious to what is going on around her.
Rhotinia: What the hell has happened here?
Asgrim continues to drink a beer inside, prefers not to get killed in this action scene.
Bridgit: Get that away from her! GET IT AWAY!
Volmalric approaches Sophie on the side and pulls her back from both the "food" and the combat situation
Meltam rolls a Parry test:
Target: 9 Focus: 1 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 1 Momentum: 0 [1d20.10+1d20.6 = 16]

Meltam is horrified.
Volmalric dabs a finger in the mess and tastes it, narrowing his eyes and then coughing, spitting it out
Volmalric: That is a LOT of gray lotus, wow
Rhotinia: You two are deeply strange men
Rhotinia: How on earth have you survived thus far?
Volmalric: Hey, Sophie, pull back here for a second
Sophie stands up, licks her lips. She seems very satisfied with herself.
Sophie: What? Oh, hello, when did you all get here?
Meltam is exceptionally confused
Volmalric: A minute or two ago, who gave you gray lotus?
Sophie: What?
Volmalric: And what else did you take, because this is not the standard effect of a "berserker" drug
Rhotinia steps between Meltam and Bridgit
Sophie wipes the back of her sleeves on her lips.
Volmalric gestures at the remains of whatever it was she ate
Volmalric: That, there, is heavily drugged
Rhotinia: Both of you, please stop this madness. Girl, tell me what this churl has done. If he deserves dealth, then I swear on my honor as Yuz-Bashi that I will kill him myself
Rhotinia used a Fortune point to add a Natural 1 to their dice pool

Sophie: Nonsense silly man, that is delicious, best I have ever had. I feel way more relaxed than normal.
Volmalric: Meltam, what did you do?
Volmalric: If I were to hazard a guess, it seems like someone drugged them both
Rhotinia: I am wondering the same thing
Meltam: I appropriated some choice narcotics and distributed them on an as need basis?
Volmalric: But Sophie is not acting as expected
Rhotinia glares at Meltam
Volmalric facepalms, his hand clanging on his helmet
Volmalric: You cannot just DOSE people, Meltam. You are NOT a doctor!
At first, it looks like Bridgit is considering moving around Rhotinia, then she sighs and begins crying.
Meltam: These aren't people though.
Volmalric: Especially with lotus pollen, goodness
Volmalric: One explanation for Sophie's condition, but this sounds like a discussion better made in private. Shall we move this upstairs?
Rhotinia: I'm sorry, you'll have to repeat that again for my old ears. These girls aren't people?
Sophie: Meltam, do be a dear and get me some more of that, and it will be completely worth your while.
Rhotinia: They look like people to me
Meltam: Sure, subdue your sister and you can have as much as you like.
Sophie: Oh, her, she will have to get her own, she is just jealous, but if you get more MOAR then you and I will engage in such delights that your mortal frame detonates with joy.

Rhotinia returns to the alley a few minutes later with a group of city guards
Rhotinia: Over here officers. These two girls have been given some sort of drugs. I did not witness it myself, but this one seems to have given it to them
Rhotinia gestures to Sophie, Bridgit and Meltam in turn
Guards: Oh, really?
Guards one looks at sheet of paper he was just handed.
Guards: Hmm... this just came into our guard house, looks an awful lot like that guy, and he is wanted for stealing from the Aqaurando family docks.

Rhotinia: What sort of utter moron would steal from the Aquarandos...
Rhotinia glares angrily at Meltam

Target: 14 Focus: 3 Difficulty: 1 Complications: 0 Successes: 3 Momentum: 2 [1d20.1+1d20.6 = 7]

Rhotinia: Besides, you needn't tire yourselves with this fool. I don't expect him to last very long behaving this way in Messantia.
Guard Sergeant: Oh, very well, we can take them to Adolphus first, thank you for your concern for our citizens' well-being.
Rhotinia watches Meltam struggling up the side of the building

Meltam swings over the side of the wall and into a nearby alley, the guards give chase.
Rhotinia: Wow, how exciting
The Sergeant and four guards take Rhotinia, Volmalric, Bridgit, and Sophie to Adolphus' shop.
Asgrim: Don't look at me, I didn't fight in no war.
Asgrim goes to bar and gets himself a refill, since Bridgit and Sophie are busy.

The other group arrives at Adolphus' shop. Bridgit is crying the whole time. Sophie is beaming with a wide smile and seems way too happy for the amount of Grey Lotus she just consumed. The guards, except for the sergeant, wait outside. When you enter the shop, Adolphus raises an eyebrow, then gets an explanation from Rhotinia, the Sergeant, and some notes from Volmalric. He takes the girls (and Rhotinia and Volmalric into the back and closes the door.)
Adolphus: Sophie, sit in the chair and don't move.
Sophie: Sure. I like how everthing in this room is so green.
GM: The walls are brown, you have no idea what she is talking about.
Sophie sits on the floor near the chair, giggles when she realized she missed the chair.
Bridgit sobs loudly.
Volmalric: They appear to have opposite emotional reactions, though I'm not sure if that's coincidence or not
Adolphus: Calm down Bridgit, it is fine.
Bridgit: No it isn't you know what happens when that wears off on her!
Volmalric: Ah, definitely coincidence
Rhotinia: Oh my...
Volmalric: This sounds like well founded fear
Adolphus: I do, we have about ten minutes. Please regain your composure, I need some of your blood to help create the sedative.
Bridgit: It hurts.
Adolphus: Well, this is not the best plan, but we have less than ten minutes now.
Adolphus: Volmalric, can you grab that giant blue steel carving knife? It is behind the cabinet there. Rhotinia, help him move it.
Rhotinia nods and drags the cabinet away from the wall
Volmalric: Ah, lovely
Rhotinia: I take it this is not the first time this has happened?
Volmalric helps move it out of the way, taking the knife and bringing it to the doctor
Sophie giggles and begins doodling diagrams on the floor, carving glyphs with her fingernails in the hardwood like it is cheap clay.
Adolphus: No, it happens about once a year, when they somehow get their hands on Grey Lotus.
Rhotinia: "Somehow"...
Volmalric: I do believe that Meltam mentioned Cilissa having control of the grey lotus imports
Adolphus nods.
Adolphus: The Aqaurando have been using it for various things. Whatever Cilissa is using it for would probably make me nervous.
Bridgit rests her arm against the table and looks away.
Adolphus: Oh, Rhotinia, be a good dear and hold the girl tightly with Volmalric's help while I drive this into her arm. She will.... be feisty.
Bridgit: Sorry. In advance.
Rhotinia holds Bridgit down as best she can

Adolphus drives the knife into Bridgit's arm, yellowish ichor flows out and her arm turns a scaly brownish color.
