A Hunting We Will Go

The Myste-Hass Calender

12/10/2023

Evandrielle is wandering through the Myste-Hass streets late at night. She recognises Sylleth moving around at night. He's been casting locate object, looking for the book.

He suddenly gets a message from Father Howell - "Sylleth, its Howell. You are in danger. Find somewhere safe to hide from magic. Find a lead-covered room. A demon is coming."

Sylleth responds - "What in the hell's have you done. Fine. Come fine me."

Evandrielle and Sylleth meet up, then two militia guards speak with them, warning them that this particular area of town is rough.

They move back to Sylleth's residence. Sylleth then casts private sanctum inside his home.

On the ship, the raft is heading south as fast as it can. Sensing the urgency, they pull together. They arrive about three hours later, running into town. Nazzak takes off into the empty streets. He sees a body flat out on the floor. His arm has been removed and there is necrotic damage all over the body and the wall behind.

Crassus has a word with Gleeson asking him to inform the watch of where Kishaan is.

Onwards, there is another individual who is missing his head. Again, he's been killed with severe necrotic damage.

Sylleth feels the private sanctum spell drop on his home.

Evandrielle puts on a magic ring, attempting to go invisible.

A long finger slides through the door grabbing hold of the bar, slender black fingers. The rear part of the house is on fire. He breaks in and grabs Sylleth

Cao sees a completely lightless shadow of a creature, with pin prick eyes of blue light. Another descends from a nearby alley.

Militia guards burst from a nearby alley with buckets to intercede.

Malek says, "Your soul has absorbed my power when you took it from that book. I will have it back." He knocks Sylleth unconscious, then carries him away.

A silent stalker arrives. It is annihilated by the demon.

Father Howell tries to escape from a Nabassu and is knocked unconscious. Two silent stalkers arrive again.

The chaos that follows involves people collapsing, then being healed, then collapsing again.

Engaro arrives providing a huge amount of healing, turning the fight slightly.

But, after just one attack, Malek has Sylleth in his grasp again. He teleports away, carrying the spellcaster and biting into him until he sucks the final bit of life from Sylleth. He then teleports away.

Kishaan casts revivify through Pepe.

Sylleth is being pulled towards Ankhelos' tower, but he can here Kira behind him. He awakes feeling cold and empty.

Father Howell and Engaro examine Sylleth and discover he's dead, but awake.

Cao follows one of the shadow demons into a building, killing an old lady - Clarissa. There are many pieces of art which feature wheat fields in her home.

Nazzak wants to take the dead body to the Temple of Garr. Cao feeds the dead woman's cat, Tartan.

Engaro insists that Sylleth spends the night at the Temple of Imogen. He thinks it best that Sylleth is not known to any priests of Garr.

On the way to the temple, militia man Corey Wilmot and another ask if they can take Kishaan into for question in regards to an incident related to a murder in Crassus' property.
