Apocalypse Keys: Plays Your Dreams Like Concrete And Smoke (Session 2)
Leandro Pondoc runs for Brandon Brylawski, Donogh, Sabine V., and SalamanderJames
The more our monsters stay in WizardWorld, the more its walls try to hem them in.

Winter does what they can for an innocent child of magic before her destiny claims her, Amber sings a mournful song of what will come, Yue goes too far to serve the greater good, and Malachite remembers of love at the worst possible place and time. Witness the story of Freedom before it became the mask of Subjugation...

This gives them all the information they found from last time and a chance to exploit it. They charm a Merchant Lord while grinding his factotum's pride into the dust and impress a potentially merciless mother with their act of sheer kindness. Putting the pieces together they pursue a caravan they have already hijacked (it's all very timey-wimey) to stop a rendezvous with parties unknown that could destabilise the Gloom. Then there's a hill-fort, an approaching column of troops, illusory Griffins (there is a theme emerging), a fire and a 'call Formorii ointment' before...they arrive in the cathedral city of Salisbury in time for Xmas...don't ask...
