Session 6 — Recap

Session 6 · recap · what actually happened

The recap

• Cold open 6, One More Thing, ran.
• Cold open 15, Parting Gift, ran: Toto gave Trill the blowgun.
• Haxami cracked. He had watched the souls go out of the casks screaming when the bracelet fireball burst them. He said they had to leave right now, walked up to the warehouse floor, and stopped. Nonne found him muttering protective chants, visibly afraid, for the first time since Onda. “Those were spirits. Trapped.” “You saw them too?”
• Haxami pulled himself together and laid out the plan: something very dark is happening, so go to Losam. Don’t confront him, become his best friend. Make themselves indispensable, learn the truth, and then hand him to the Inquisitors.
• Nonne told them the thing in the cellar was Wat, Thor’s friend, and that Wat’s spirit gave him the Cold Kiss.
• The Five Fingers at the doors. “Stop, thieves! Give back what you’ve stolen from us.” Wilda Greave, Fetch, and two bruisers, one of them Ned Hobb. Fetch put illusory fire across the exit. Haxami told them Dita had hired the party too, and it went nowhere.
• Trill put two darts through a bruiser’s eyes and killed him. Haxami knifed Ned Hobb, and Marellius’s lightning killed him.
• Haxami to Fetch: “We are going to treat you just like we did last time, but this time we’re not going to let you go.” Fetch broke and ran.
• Greave said it outright: Dita hired them to get the relic. She went afraid when Haxami mentioned the Inquisitors. The party walked out and left her. Fetch and Greave are both alive.
• Trill and Nonne went to Petra Vell to be patched up. She plainly favours Trill. She warned Trill that the spirits say Nonne is troubled, that something about him is not good.
• Haxami and Marellius went to the Long Crossing. Marellius announced them with illusory drums and made an entrance to draw Dita. Dita was not there. Two tables were watching them instead of ignoring the show.
• Kerrigan and Chrysanthemum came over: Dita’s friends, her “ears everywhere.” Kerrigan is a half-elf with very long hair and money. Chrysanthemum is a big orc with a blond bowl cut, a tiny flower earring and a baby voice.
• Haxami told them that when the Inquisitor arrives, Dita and everyone around her will have questions to answer. Kerrigan went white. “We did a job for her and then she tried to stop us. Twice.” Marellius ended it with an illusory cockroach-scorpion on their table, and they both ran screaming.
• Thor was in the Long Crossing. Haxami did not talk to him.
• Marellius called Dita on the bracelet. She said she never knew they were coming and never hired anyone. The party heard a lie.
• Haxami to Marellius: “And you wanted to give her the ledger.” Marellius: “So I see this is the type of person you are. I will remember this.” Haxami walked away.
• Isa, at home. Grief and something past it: fear. Her father’s spirit is not at rest, everything feels wrong. When Haxami asked whether she had been to Miriam Dol, she seemed to avoid the question.
• Emil’s grave. Trill and Nonne went, Haxami stayed behind and trusted them with it. Nonne read the grave: angry, necrotic, twisted, like what was on Wat, but without Wat’s connection. Emil’s soul is caught the same way, separately. As they left, Nonne saw a raven watching them: too large, too still.
• The plan for next time: Miriam first, then Losam. Go to Losam as friends, and sell the cleared warehouse as a service that covers him if the Inquisitors come.
• Haxami’s read on the party: Marellius is unreliable and too easily bought by Dita’s trinkets, Nonne is trustworthy, Trill is good and naive with it. Tam is still the realest thing he has in Onda.
• The party reached 5th level.

What did not fire

• Haxami and Losam. Planned, not reached. Losam’s one chance and the three ways are still on the sheet.
• Nonne and Thor. Thor was in the room, but nobody went to him about the Cold Kiss. He still does not know Wat is at rest.
• Dita catches Trill alone. The Second Thought has not been handed over.
• Marellius and the money. The bracelet call was about the Five Fingers. The 500 gp did not come up in Damien’s notes.
• The grave as bait. No Jory, no trade, no fight. Isa was at home, not at the graveside.
• Petra’s parting words about the scholar and the ship did not fire (Jack, 2026-10-10). Godwin’s rumour has not reached the party. Her warning about Nonne did.

Loose ends

• Fetch and Greave are alive, they lost, and they know Nonne has the Cold Kiss.
• Dita has been caught lying to Marellius. Her crew went for the Cold Kiss, and her friends at the Long Crossing have been told the Inquisitors are coming for her circle.
• Kerrigan and Chrysanthemum are new at the table. Their page is mostly open.
• The raven at Emil’s grave is Quiet Jory’s eyes (Jack, 2026-10-08). Sai’s knife watches the bait through a bought bird. It saw Nonne at the grave, so Jory knows who has the Cold Kiss. The trap waits until he has Isa in hand.
• Isa has not gone to Miriam and avoids the subject.
• Petra’s book. Trill owes her. She thinks something is wrong with Nonne.
• 5th level. Dita’s Bracelet can be refilled now.
• Miriam, then Losam. That is where the party mean to start next session.
