The Non-Present

Last session, the party was engaged in a battle with an image of the hooded man that attacked them in the beginning of their journey. However, the cats has not only stolen their items but also experience, reverting them back to the time when they were not demigods of the realm.

Slowly, the party took back what was theirs and Akaal managed to stop the encounter all together by dominating the hooded figure in front of them and told it to end the encounter. The party wakes up from the dream and finds themselves beyond the walls of the Ark into a realm filled with broken glass reflecting choices and worlds that was never meant to be.

When Gilvana's acolyte began a prayer circle, everyone felt the strong surge of energy that broke the Ark momentarily. The party performed their own circle of prayer which allowed the party to track the source of the wave of energy: an apparition of Manada suspended in space and at its center are four artifacts with an insanely long piece of scroll.

Satisfied with what they have found so far, they plan to return to their home plane and coming here later for more research but just as Ignis began chanting the spell, a distant, weak voice called out..."A- ...al... hel- ...e!"
