Session 29
From AngilleWiki
6:1:9:Hades:XII
Marilith is the offspring of Anubis (messenger of death; dog) and Apep (general troublemaker; flaming snake). There are three days of Dark Week left for crossing the desert. While it is still dark, the party makes it through the southern pass and to a Verrik/Sibbecai trading post.
6:1:9:Hemera:I
After questioning people at the trading post, Vadin discovers one recent "mass honorable death" (aka death by snake) in the local area. This suggests Marilith is killing in the forest as well as the desert. The party decides to stop but this "honorable" village (Xhuwa) and see if any clues are to be had.

Gemma/Ettyneen use location loresight to learn:
- Founded Verrik 6:8:4
- (People cleaning up the town)
- An owl
- (Bob the founder)
- *skipped*
- (some guy)
- *skipped*
- *skipped*
- Marilith is cutting through Reavers - err, people - left and right; a deadly dancer of swordsmanship. It is breathtaking. Damage only to people, no property, even though she enters buildings often. There is no searching of houses; whatever she is looking for must be pretty obvious.
- The only magic is a faint aura of well-being. This is most likely a basic blessing for the town.
After searching all the buildings, Vadin finds nothing of interest.
6:1:9:Hemera:VII
Party meets nine Verrik one day out from Nan Bian. After questioning, they reveal that they are traders coming from Xiliu. They have seen an increase in honorable deaths, but it has not affected trade as of yet. Xhuwa was the source for some extremely nice wooden dolls, and they have been suffering a supply shortage. We agree to travel the rest of the way to Nan Bian with the merchants. On the journey, a shriek is heard from the forest. Turns out, it's Marilith. The party wets itself, then prepares for battle.
Turns out Marilith is vulnerable to cold damage. After a few massive cold spells, Marilith was reduced to 0 wounds. A bit of questioning and we learned she was looking for the obsidian pendant. Before she could be killed, she teleported away, barely alive.
6:1:9:Hemera:VIII
We arrive in Nan Bian.
