🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

As Genza speaks, not poison, but an invisible, cursed energy drips from his words – a fragment of Sir Tanna Monargoth’s soul. It reaches Lampr’s heart and, despite its unholy nature, soothes his mind. “You are right… Yes… Yes… You are right… That’s how I should act, and that’s how I will act. I need to search for it thoroughly, and it will search for me thoroughly, and then our paths will cross… And when our paths cross, we will meet…” Lampr no longer hinders Squad 69 in carrying out its mission. Atim spends SKILL to heal Hisoka and uses three charges of heat-resistant ice to heal himself, the General, and Illiman. Hisoka sets explosives. Ushumgallu finds a family ring (+1 to charisma) and 300 gold. After that, Squad 69, along with their new ally, flees the Citadel of Merriment, meets with the remaining surviving Asuguh warriors, and rides away on horses brought from Sugara. They hear deafening explosions behind them, scattering the night’s darkness. ***** Onward to the future – it is now 2:00 PM on March 2nd. By this time, the squad members have had several hours to rest. Camistella and Erika have arrived in Sugara – the atmosphere there is relatively calm, but the large number of horses and other mounts gathered together is striking, as if they were collected from all over the country. Argos summons Ushumgallu and Genza. This is the last opportunity to spend SKILL before the update.
