ocean of nightmares

Initial Brief

PCs

Debrief

Just making notes for now. Proper debrief to come later. Deal with it~

I don't even know, I'm so tiredddd ~Chaos

On edge of dragon, ocean behing, monsters defeated, flock of small winged lizards birthed. Saffron attempts to gather them, but they're flying around.

Mirror shows single yellow eye.

V.C. does minor Tender miracle to get dragon babies down. S.M. attempts to talk to them with nature powers, asks their names. They give names which Dan can fill in. Saffron feeds them dried meat rations. Seem like smart children. V.C. attempts to encourage them to distinguish right from wrong. S.MM. gives lecture on what makes a righteous man. Saffron tells them about home. They seems to understand.

Nobody wants to take identity, they say they don't want others looking like them. V.C. checks children, 3 girls 2 boys.

Area ahead doesn't make sense, world stop, ocean begins. G.W. steps through, reverts to merman form. Man ahead covered in seaweed w/ anenrnomifhd how do you even spell that

Actual ocean, Dreaming Ocean's body. B.M. steps through, G.W. uses Oneness, creates bubble of air around him. V.C. and Saffron eventually convince babies to go through into bubble, though they're not keen. With them all in, bubble rises, awkward lift music moment

Shipwreck bits gather at surface of the ocean so they have something to hold onto. Saffron fixes together makeshift net, fishes for food for her babies.

V.C. asks P.C. why she was the Traitor and not Douchebag. Awkwardness ensues, B.M. and V.C. ask if she's Traitor priest. S.M. says actually Traitor is kinda okay.

G.W. now the ocean asks what she felt when holding that guy's pearls. Further discussion of tf they've just done ensues, noone is really sure what's happening, Nobody suggests that they've got rid of some bad bits in Mudra and the dragon is now better.

More arguments/discussions about Founders. V.C. grabs P.C.'s hand, shoves into his stigmata stab wound heart. Explains that this was what Traitor did to Tender.

General consensus is that P.C. is Traitor priest. Everyone generally weirdly okay with this, V.C. generally not happy about it. Thinks Traitor church willing to do anything is unacceptable.

P.C. says she still wants Cargan to get what they deserve. This doesn't go down well. Argument about earlier food encounter stuff with the dream and the stabbing and the crying.

G.W. points out how awkward this all is. Separates out driftwood to keep conflicting party members apart.

Back at Acryn. Backryn. They go back to priests to check on their bodies, turned out they'd dissolved into seawater. City decided to leave for a few weeks before declaring dead, because adventurers amirite

They report - drove Mudra out of ocean, and bad bits put of Mudra.

Given 100riel each.

V.C. has a word with Saffron. Offers to help look after dragons. She says planning on renting extra space for them, will be looking after them. Provides V.C. with address.

Makes dragon roost as their home. Trying to encourage them to come home, treat it as home, encourage to like her.

For about a month they live there, then grow fast. Then they visit less as they grow. Next Danlarp they'll have grown a lot and rarely visit any more. Big enough to scare people. Saffron tries to teach her morals. If need to steal to live okay, but not for sake of stealing.

Like slightly more moral cats.

V.C. gets reports from further afield as they get older. Acryn, Margush, etc.

G.W. checks Caulish. They still see them as lizardy.

Nobody is no longer being puppeted.

Mirror in real world appears like regular mirror.

G.W. goes to find Nobody, tells him to spread the idea of the Ocean and help people understand, ocean about people living together, working together, bonds that link people. And wishes him luck.

S.M. worldshapes an island above Ocean real body, kinda diamond shaped with not much above surface, but big pillar down to sea floor. Lots of reflective surfaces, one side of mountain is sheet glacier. Houses, docks, fishing opportunities. Pool at top of mountain goes down through middle to body. Permanently stabilises it.

Gidner says goodbye and merges with the ocean. Uses ocean power and engineering to make things for people there.

Basically a pillar going down from island where people can live, bubbling alchemy machine spits out stuff to turn people into sea creatures so they can live there.

Gidner now a spirit of place. Slowly at first, but pilgrims of Ocean arrive and some stay, and with some dreams sent out basically advertising the place a community starts to build up.

G.W. affects area and immediate surroundings to generate Veil potion. Sailors going through area find dreams more vivid and pretentious. Also some slight tendency towards pretentious dreams in Acryn for those so inclined.

G.W. generates souls as guardians. Fish people. Under the sea. Singing crabs?

S.M. visits to meditate with that one guy, like G.W. They chill out.

S.M. attempts to communicate with the old dude. Does not happen with words,but with concepts: (God) → ← <God> a state of being allowing those connected to merge with all of humanity (What does it feel like to be you?) → ← <cold, bottom of ocean>

S.M. meditates, but finds slipping into godhood. Each time feels less sure he wanted to snap out of it.

V.C. reports to council, tells of what happened. Saffron's babies, not hostile. Warns about Nobody having maybe done something inadvisable w/ dragons.

V.C. talks to Walter Cargan about Penelope. Awks. Hints that she may be Traitor priest. Tells of avatar scene, says she was Traitor. Walter is surprised by the revelation, but doesn't seem too bothered. Suggests training her for a career in politics if she can lie for that long, as she's clearly more competent than they believed.

V.C. storms out and sulks in his church for several weeks on end.

Cargans throw P.C. a “coming out” party. Now one of the most known Traitor priests. Then a few weeks later someone turns up in her room. Says normally they're more subtle, but that they can make use of this. Instructions on her bed.

They have directions to a newly build Church of the Traitor. She is to be on charge of it, provided drop points, will be in contact, must say what is the right thing to say, etc.

Provided sample sermons. “Do what you must”, but carefully keeping from crossing the line. “ make the hard choices”, not “at all costs”.

Church gets visit from heirarch of Church of Founders. Walks around with candelabra lighting candles, then leaves without saying anything.

V.C. sends people to keep watch on church, gets feedback on who visits. Goes to council and expresses dislike of Traitor situation. But issues w/ Leader church make people reluctant to deal w/ it. “ better where we can see it”

S.M. blesses mirror to move towards being able to step into it and send reflections out into the world. Gets mirror with crappy reflection that can go to other mirrors and spy on things.

B.M. gets badass tattoo of founders fighting dragon on back. More painful than expected, different cutting pain. Tattooist seems timid, gets frustrated with how long it's taking. Insists he keeps going as tattooist breaks down sobbing. 1.5h later he runs out crying. Tattoo is of a pleased female w/ red hair giving double thumbs up. Holy tattoo of Warrior.

P.C. - true face of traitor V.C. - truly favoured by tender Saffron - adysgdhdg dragons Nobody ??? Dragons ? Dhdhd long term effects S.M. - countdown now 0s for godhood
