WORK IN PROGRESS

With the puppets of Tuirrean wilting into mulch the sisters have another heart-to-heart.  Bartholomew's honesty threatens to blow things up when he confesses to the the Tender that he believes that Booker and the Traitor may have attempted to deceieve her; at this the rest of the party jump in to alternately shush him or try to convince the Tender to accept her doubt and let her sister back into her life.  Aria, still stuck with the effects of an earlier Alway the Correct Path, keeps trying to impress upon both parties the importance of Abraxis stabbing Alyssa again.  Abraxis promises never to hurt Alyssa again; sanctified by Francesco's miracle.  Alyssa says that she needs time to think about what she has seen and decide upon whether she is willing to trust again.  She flinches away from Abraxis' hug but allows their hands to brush together for an instant and then both gods are gone.

This leaves the party in the middle of a wrecked village under a rain of volcanic bombs spewing forth from the blazing crater in the side of the Peak of the World.  The warrior priests call upon their miracles to protect the surviving populace: Armand helps the villagers protect themselves from the flames and destruction, filling them with Lyndiss' strength and vigor, meanwhile Senta starts batting incoming boulders off into the distance with great swings of her spear.

Despite their assistance the villagers predictably blame the adventurers for the terrible misfortune that has (once again) befallen them, and chuck them out with all haste despite offers to stay and help rebuild.  They make swift progress up the road to Acryn and soon everybody is reporting in to their various superiors/peers.

Senta brings up the appearance of Nice Lizard to the Warrior Church and they agree that she has first dibs at resolving the threat.  It is pretty clear however that the rest of the church are beyond seeing Nice as 'in need of reform' and will expect a permanent solution.  Their displeasure with Senta's leniency/lunacy however is much curtailed by the opportunity to watch her demonstrate some of Warrior's fighting techniques.

Armand talks to a civil service contact provided in a last letter from Booker.  They make it clear that the cult intends to take posession of Penolope's body in the near future but will appreciate Armand's cooperation in making that happen

Discussing the dispostion of Booker's gear, Aria gets ahold of one dagger, but as soon as Armand asks for one to be gifted to him and explains its power Simon vanishes and runs off with the rest.
