Hook

Buried in the Depths of the Self Weeks 7-25

Plot Synopsis

After finding Rook, the party pushes forward, venturing deeper into the caves. They find a room in which there's an illusion of Palamedes' old friend Camilla, whose soul he is carrying until he finds some way of bringing her back. She tries to convince him to stay, but Palamedes is unfooled, pushing through and away, though not without distress. The party makes it out of the cave, and in a last, desperate attempt, an illusion of a serene resting spot is created. The party does give into it a bit, at the insistence of Brian, but not so much that they are caught so off guard as to succumb to the sirens when they are attacked. A short battle occurs in which the party shows significantly more strength. Bryan calls for a ceasefire, which Palamedes refuses, wanting the sirens to know the suffering they put him through. Once Palamedes is incapacitated, negotiations do occur, and agreements are made for Bryan to work as an envoy between the sirens and the village to find a way in which the sirens can continue existing without continuing to pose a threat. With temporary silence achieved and the hope for more in the future, the party heads back to shore, parting ways.
