The Wandering Isles: Session 17
In this eventful session of "The Wandering Isles," our adventurers face a mix of revelations, confrontations, and deep introspection.
Ayame reveals that she was attacked from behind during a recent encounter, prompting Eos to take her to the medical ward for treatment. Meanwhile, Amaedrianna receives an old leather-bound book from Remington to aid her studies. She moves to the trees near Weslyn's spot and begins experimenting with the book’s powers, creating a small, perfectly white crow with a damaged wing, which she names. Weslyn, not entirely pleased about having a new neighbour, continues his own mysterious activities.
Dash approaches Remington to discuss Ayame's attack. Concerned for Boreal's safety, Remington moves him to Hatsu’s room and swiftly removes Dr. Harrow from the island, while also contacting the Crisis Response Unit.
Meanwhile, Slate and Eos embark on a quest to learn more about the gods and their own identities, delving into the ancient histories of divine beings. Slate, still in possession of a mysterious book, decides to let it communicate with Eos. The book speaks, asking for only one thing: death. In exchange, it offers Slate a glimpse into his past, revealing that his true name is Elias Holt. He relives a vivid memory of his childhood, standing in the presence of his mother, while the book reveals its own name, Vathros.
As the group prepares for the night, they are haunted by dreams. Eos dreams of Weslyn, seeing him slowly fade as the grip of winter takes hold, while Weslyn dreams of the first snow of winter and makes his way to Eos's room to find solace. Under the cold night sky, they share tea and watch the stars, a moment of quiet kindness amid the chaos.
Meanwhile, Hatsu finds Ayame, still shaken and concerned about the monster that attacked her, and realizes that danger still looms over their journey. As night falls, the group knows that these recent events are only the beginning of the challenges they will face, both from within and beyond their own ranks.Security at the School
Ayame had been attacked from behind. Eos took her to the medical ward, while Dash spoke with Remington about the incident. Remington moved Boreal into Hatsu’s room, expelled Dr. Harrow, and contacted the Crisis Response Unit.
Remington gave Amaedrianna his old leather-bound spellbook. She experimented with moving trees near Weslyn’s hut and helped a white crow with a damaged wing, giving it a name. Weslyn was less pleased about his new neighbour.
A Name from the Past
Slate and Eos studied the gods. The voice in the mysterious book asked for death and offered Slate glimpses of his past: the name Elias Holt, his childhood, and his mother. The voice finally identified itself as Vathros.
Tea and Stars
Eos dreamed of Weslyn fading away as winter arrived. Weslyn also dreamed of the first snow. He went to Eos’s room, where they drank tea and looked at the stars together.
Elsewhere, Hatsu and Ayame spoke about the monster they feared might still be loose.
