Two weeks of relative quiet and weary travel come to a close as the Circle approaches within a hundred miles of their destination. A storm is building up just as the group spies the small village of Hallia in the distance.
Start Date: 9 Resplendent Air
They pick up the pace to get there for shelter, only to discover that Hallia is a ghost-town. Taking shelter from the storm in the vilalge Inn, they bed down for the night and set up watches. Xylanthe practices more of her magic. The dreary weather and eerie quiet gets to each of those on watch, making their moods dark and their thoughts brooding. In the morning, as they prepare to move on a scream breaks the quiet. One of the children, feverish and delerious like the innkeep's daughter in Ti'i wa'a wai, has also been stabbed. The group soon discovers an enemy in their midst.
End Date: 10 Resplendent Air
I think I'm finally beginning to get back in my groove after session 4. This session was the first that I've had time to really plan what I wanted to do ahead of time. I've known all along that a member of the Night-forged had joined the refugees back in session 1, which was hinted at in session 3 (with the knives). With Develan's revelation of the chain in the previous session, it was time for him to make his move.
