The midnight hours echoed with the clamor of the night’s continuing chaos as the party chased down the Denarians in an armored van. Skillfully maneuvering Sister Maria’s aged Honda Civic, Gigi navigated the vehicle through St. Augustine’s labyrinthine streets and onto a desolate rural Florida road. Jeremy’s intimate knowledge of the area proved instrumental in formulating a daring plan, causing the van to swerve off the path, crash through the marshland, and collide with a lone tree.
The crash ignited an immediate confrontation. Gigi, transforming into her alligator form, positioned herself strategically while Aubert launched himself into the fray. Jeremy stayed back, contacting Detective Sato for backup as the Bro mysteriously wandered off into the woods. In response, their adversaries set up tactical choke points, eyes scanning the battlefield for threats.
Amid the skirmish, the female leader from their last encounter attempted a retreat, protected by her trained soldiers. Aubert, armed with a kinetic damage-absorbing magical glow stick, managed to incapacitate a soldier, weathering the subsequent gunfire with little harm. Gigi, too, dispatched her adversary with ruthless efficiency.
Suddenly, the Bro, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, swiped the bag of loot from the retreating leader, disappearing as swiftly into the woods to join his friends at a nearby trailer park. Meanwhile, Emberiel, the Denarian with mastery over fire, revealed her true form. She commanded her soldiers to activate time bombs on their vests, creating a fiery shield to facilitate her escape.
However, Emberiel bore the brunt of the resulting explosion. Aubert’s calculated maneuvers and monster-hunting strategies halted her escape. On the verge of surrender, Emberiel shared a cryptic message – “Let me live, we are on the same side. He betrayed your father” – before Aubert claimed her coin. Among the spoils of the encounter were two unidentified Blackened Denarius, taking the party’s total to four out of thirty.
In the aftermath, Aubert and Gigi, still embodying her alligator form, ventured into the woods, hot on the Bro’s trail. Jeremy remained behind, filling in Detective Sato on the unfolding events before they too, joined the chase.
In contrast, the Bro reveled with his trailer park friends, uncovering odd treasures from the stolen loot – an ink-black cloak rendering him invisible, a stone eye that painted a world in monochromatic hues, and an antique mirror showing disconcerting visions of a woman’s death amidst the burning woods. His friends, attributing the surreal happenings to their recreational substances, remained oblivious to the loot’s true nature.
Upon Aubert and Gigi’s arrival at the trailer park, a tense confrontation ensued. Gigi’s intimidating presence, and the Bro’s sudden disappearance under the cloak, spurred the group to gear up for yet another pursuit. As dawn threatened to break the horizon, the session concluded, leaving the team teetering on the edge of another intense chase. With 21 days until the next full moon, the ticking clock amplified the urgency of their mission – to prevent the next murder from taking place. Can the party stop it in time?
