Plot Synopsis
The session begins with Sadie, in the night of 6/18, coming to Elizabeth with a gun. She blames her for ruining her life because of her actions aboard Slipstream, and pins the deaths of her two thousand men on her. Ultimately, though, she is unable to pull the trigger, and tosses the gun down as a melted scrap ball. She goes outside, unsure about what to do now that she can't even accomplish this. Elizabeth comforts her, and they manage to go to sleep - exhausted. Before Sadie sleeps, she reads Iskra's book about the Eternal Flame: a semi-sentient force of the elemental plane of fire, a practically infinite source of magic, that can grant mortals power.
The next morning, breaking glass wakes the party up. Someone has been abducted from the tenement room one floor below Elizabeth. It's Iskra, having captured a civilian and who is now holding them hostage. She demands to see Sadie, and retreats to a hiking trail in the mountains behind Polis. She begins to summon a storm above the city, threatening to flatten the slums and the lower quarter. She demands that Sadie give her flame over to her, saying that she will lose her magic and Iskra's condition will be stabilized. Sadie knows that losing the flame will kill her, though. Volke poses as Sadie for the meeting, but when she attempts to take the flame she realizes the lie. Incensed, Iskra leaps back and they begin a battle.
Mid-battle, as Marlowe defends the party, a spectral image of her child appears supporting her. Ultimately, after a long battle, Vladisk unleashes her Thousand Terror Blood Rain on Iskra, knocking her down. She begins to turn to dust as she lays, defeated, but Sadie approaches and grants her a portion of the Eternal Flame's wellspring. She stabilizes, and Misha carries her back to the city - telling the party that he will be unable to make the military ball, as he should take care of her as she convalesces. Icarian is hopeful for a few more peaceful days.
