Winterfall VII - Pthora & Splint, Cahyali

Plot Synopsis

The party reconvenes after their battle with Iskra Kulik, and takes a bit of downtime to explore Polis. Icarian is having a difficult time with the things he must do, and the party comforts him. He takes their words to heart, and then runs off to "take a walk." They run a bit of reconnaissance near the palace, finding that there is a dimensional lock running around the edge of the building. Fountains are all around the city, running even in the dead of winter thanks to magical heating for the water. Next, the party speaks with Marshal Volkov and speaks on what the future of Pthora will be. Volkov and his men plan to institute a parliamentary democracy, modeled off of the Vervish system of government.

As this happens, they begin to make plans for the assault at the ball. Volkov shows them blueprints of the palace, pointing out the ballroom and their objective: Zimina's personal quarters, in a tower at the back of the palace. They also get a quick tutorial on how to waltz, in proper form for the Polisian upper class. Seeking to get a gift for the High General, Uriel uses her Keys of Teleportation to go to Ciudad de Fuentes in Splint. They know that Zimina likes foreign sweets, and so purchase a large order of churros from a kindly woman running a snack stand. Splint, at this time, has been reunified into the Republic of Splint and a flag depicting a soaring eagle flies above the city. There is a statue depicting Mishra-Eleutheria riding a rearing horse in the center of town, although it shows her as more of a legendary hero than a god.

The party stays the night in Splint, and returns to Polis the next morning.
