Session 35

The Battle at Grey Manor (March 20, 2020)

Lady Grey emerges from the burning Manor flanked by archers, acolytes, and the demon. Captain Gregor and his knights block the party in and bloody combat ensues. The demon hesitates as it attacks Ignatius, and Altair realizes that the acolytes are exerting control over it. The knights drop Avery, and Lady Grey kills Investigator Bram and then Ragnar after he decimates Gregor and the knights. Ignatius revives Avery, Felix revives Altair, and Avery dimension doors Balor to safety where he shockingly revives himself! Ignatius transforms the terrified Wilhelm into a giant ape to battle the demon. The party kills the final acolyte, freeing the demon, who turns on Lady Grey. Lady Grey flees the battle, and Ignatius chases her but loses her in the vineyard. The demon transforms into the Keeper, and Felix and Avery implore him to save Ragnar. The Keeper offers a trade, and despite Ignatius’s effort to stop Felix, Felix exchanges the souls of two of the nobles hiding behind the Manor to restore Ragnar to life. As the party rests Ignatius realizes that Wilhelm has fled. The Keeper offers to grant Ignatius a boon for freeing him.
