When last we left our brave adventurers, they were recuperating at Light's Hope Chapel. One day, Mattias received a summons to his mother at the druid circle. Unbeknown to him, his "mother" had less than honorable intentions. When he arrived she shapeshifted into a wolf and began to attack Mattias with help from some of her druid friends. Mattias pleaded with his mother to stop this insanity, until she revealed she was not his true mother. During the course of the battle it was hinted that the creature had some familial relationship to Cat. Mattias made short work of the group after learning that they were not who they had claimed to be.
Meanwhile at the moathouse, Quacen and the others were meeting in the common room/trophy room when, out of nowhere, Quacen cast fire storm on the party. He then changed into an alternate form and a fight ensued. Quacen used his quillblast and Maeve fell down. The group turned its attention to Bebo, who had been pre-occupying Phillip's attention. Bebo eventually went down within 12 seconds of gaining the attention of the party. Quacen was then the only person left in the room and the party ganged up on him, ultimately leading to his demise. Felicia showed up as the group had bested the unlikely enemy, and Mattias showed up soon after. Suddenly the room erupted in fire and the old friend, Aaron, stood there. He explained that his "death" returned him to the elemental plane of fire, and he was sent back here to help us turn the tides of the upcoming battle. The group was hesitant at first, after their recent experiences, but ultimately accepted the return of their new companion. It became evident that it was needed to ensure that there were no other dopplegangers that hand infiltrated the stronghold; however, several followers failed to show to their calling.
Mattias then spent the next couple of days communing with his god, and trying to learn more of the situation at hand. He learned that his mother was indeed dead, and upon learning this, was moved so that he lost communication with the deity. He tried again the following day to speak with the Ithwe (or one of his archons) and learned that he and Cat were related by blood and by their father. He also learned that Cat was not of house Trulane, but Leo was. The group decided that they would go and speak to the druids of the Thornwood to gain additional insight into their current situation.
Next time on "as the dice roll"
We're screwed.
