Whitehawk: "Ah, so you're the one. Come, follow me."

You follow the man as he leads you through the tent village, reaching a large almost as big as a small house.

Heading in, you see several other Whitehawk members are inside standing around an empty table in the middle of the room.

The Whitehawk member on the other side of the table, directly in front of you, is a blonde woman with green eyes who doesn't seem particularly thrilled at the moment.

Woman: "So, you're John Freemaneth. Have a seat."

What does anyone gain from exterminating another race?

Land. Resources. Elimination of the competition. Satisfying a grudge.


The three witches reach the city walls, a trail of destruction marking their paths. The walls quickly fall despite the efforts of terrain-controlling mages, and the city is flooded with witch fire and human corpses.

Your view shifts back to the inside of the house, where the woman still sits in the darkness of her house, staring out of the window.

This is what the invisible pieces on the board do. They are the catalysts for our extinction.

You place heavy null fields on the two guards and rush forward in attempt to knock them down, both leaping out of the way but otherwise seem to not be giving a fight.

Pounding up the stairs, you quickly reach the ninth floor, where Tabi should be.

Shouting and energetic blasts can be heard throughout the floor.

You let out a small sigh, sit, and retract your helm.

Woman: "I'm Karina Daeli, Second Overseer and Rank-A Reconstructive Healer. The former title is more relevant in this case.

A claim has been made that you, John Freemaneth, have acquired a restricted volume that contains detailed medical magic, including the means to bypass direct-magic protections that people possess. Do you object to this claim?"

So, this is what I need to become a hero for? To fight an army of witches, bent on destruction? I'm not sure that would be physically possible.

Roll 299



The world as the players know it:

Notes:



Time: Evening

Race: Human

"That is accurate. The book supposedly contains what you say. I hadn't personally checked, for obvious reasons."

Karina: ”I see.

If you could remove your armor so we can perform a telepathic scan on you, we can get this over with quickly. I know Vranhal and the surrounding states have a, pretty big problem on their hands.”

Race: Human
____________________

"Stahlnacht, can you detect her? I must protect Tabi from the consequences of her moral code."

Stahlnacht: ”My child has lost detection of her. She is using telepathic and ambient magic isolation.”

You press onward, searching for signs of your companion in the dark halls. A flame that appears to be somewhere on your helm illuminates your way, and you cautiously step over dead and wounded chirop guards. Burns, blunt trauma, and slit throats seems to be the primary incapacitating marks.

Several others have been cleaved in two, ripped in half, or smeared across a wall.

Stahlnacht: ”Tabi should be on the upper floor, the tenth, now, along with her pursuers. My child believes she is searching for something.”

You rest in a city that was built from generations of witch hunters. You have also found the method to cast magic without the user being magically adept.

Someone has limited its access to a smaller group of people. It would be difficult for you to be able to use it again, but it is not out of your reach.

"There."

The book that was contained on your back via temporary-AM armor falls, quickly caught by one of the Whitehawk members who holds on to it.

Karina: "Alright, I'm starting."

You give a nod, and she closes her eyes.


A presence fills your mind, one that feels extremely critical but at the same time gentle, carefully sifting through your memories with delicate precision.

The process lasts for what feels like an hour, and then the other presence fades from your mind.

The Overseer is looking at you with something like a confused expression, almost surprise.

Karina: "Are you aware of your lineage?"

A horrific screech reaches your ears, Tuhota's mouth screaming in pain and the very surface of her body writhing and crying out.

Tuhota begins staggering away, the outside of her body shifting unnaturally as she tries to get away from you.

"My... lineage? Odd question.
My mother got caught up in the Caelum-Daeli war I think. My father, I'm not sure, but I think they met around that period. She worked in a library and he had a printing press...
Don't tell me they're related to the book."
