The Rookery - Episode 11: Across the Abyss

With the immediate danger of the Spoiled Lover thwarted and some basic information discovered by the cabal, it prompts new questions by the cabal's Acanthus, Wyrd the Seer. Atratus is getting desperately low on Mana as well, so she's looking to fill up her reserves.
As a special note, this is our first Duo Session! Chris and John are out, so the cabal continues with only two members for now, but they'll be back!
The Awakening is when a mundane mortal, a Sleeper, has the truth of the real world, the Supernal, revealed to them. It is traumatic and intense, and thereafter, they are one of the Wise, the Mages, living in the Fallen World, surrounded by the Lie. They strive to learn more, to bend reality to their will, to call forth creatures of the Underworld at a whim, or delve into the souls of others to learn their dark secrets.

I just love this scene of Wyrd backtracking into her life...
Scenes like this just make me love the game

[@OccultistsAnonymous]

They show up now and then... Always cool to draw up on the backstory of the characters.

Damn these guys are just doing all the advanced stuff early, straight to the summoning then.

I know this is old, but a campaign I was in a mage had opened a tea shop, and would sell Tass infused tea to mages

[@OccultistsAnonymous]

I feel like that is a classic TTRPG trope. Everyone wants to open a bar.

Man, I'd be too prideful to deal with fate and time supernal entities. The prime and forces ones are homies, but ain't no way I am keeping watch of my tongue that closely

[@Rhadagar]

Cliffhanger!!

[@OccultistsAnonymous]

Only for another hour and a half! :D Besides, how could I not leave it a cliffhanger right there?!

[@Koshea69]

Is the overlay not updated correctly? Between Cleanse Pattern last episode and the mention of songbird as a disciple of prime this episode I keep looking at 2/2/2 and thinking it's not exactly updated.

[@OccultistsAnonymous]

Correct!

[@georgelongcoal1117]

Wait wyrd is a she? Also goddamm faes...

[@OccultistsAnonymous]

Correct, our Wyrd is a woman.

I really do need to pay more attention😅
