What Really Happened

We find our heroes still with the problem of a dead and non-resurrectable Kallyr. After much debate, Rajar is brought to see if the scent of Chaos is on the Prince, explaining her lack of return. Unfortunately, with a roll which is the theme of today, he establishes Tennebris is the problem, and prepares to strike him down. Unfortunately this attempt rouses both Koraki from his lounge (parrying it with his silver-hand, and lightning striking Rajar) and Tennebris from his catatonia, to eventually teleport Rajar outside. From the 2nd floor. In the meantime, the others have explained that some foul Lunar Magic is preventing Kallyr from returning. Tennebris calls upon Orlanth to dismiss any such thing, and…..

… Kallyr vanishes.

Our heroes realise she was an illusion, and start planning to get her back, calling on Vinga for guidance as to where she is. They are told she is in the Hero Plane, and our heroes plan to perform the Lightbringer's quest, with Varanis opting to take the 'short cut' of being killed by Humakt.

And then Leika arrives in Boldhome, with one of her guards overhearing Dormal saying something unflattering (3 fumbles in a row) about her. A brief chase ensues, before Dormal escapes, to warn the others about this complication.
