M.I.S.T. Campaign: Session 27

There’s something rotten in the state of Greece.

And I’m not talking about the Titan attack.  We went back to the Villa afterwards, talked a bit with the other bands.  Not much came of that.  Though Cindy and Claire just had to go and annoy the senior band of Demigods by copping an attitude since their healers, surprise, wanted to heal their own band mates before getting to Lexi.  Sure, I understand why they wanted to get Lexi healed as soon as possible.  But I’m sure Marie and Dr. Tigrillo felt the same about their band mates.  And it’s not as though Lexi’s condition was deteriorating.

But that wasn’t the big problem, or even the minor one.  Donnie and Harmonia both went missing after the attack.  Given what Lexi was able to figure out about the love snarl…the pieces aren’t all that hard to put together.  And Lexi accidentally let that slip within earshot of Nikolas.  Which…at least he took in stride.  Actually, he seemed to have already figured as much.  From the sound of it he’s had trouble living up to pretty much everyone’s expectations since his visitation, which has to suck.

But he asked us to travel to Delphi with him so he could ask the Oracle about it.  Since we couldn’t fault his observation that the titan attacks likely made it unsafe to travel alone, and because he mentioned we could probably ask questions to figure out what was up with the attack, we agreed almost immediately.

That’s when the big problem came along.  We were going to travel by train.  But almost as soon as we got to the stations some of Goras’s soldiers arrived, and they weren’t exactly all that subtle about telegraphing that they were there to keep us from leaving.  All in all they stayed for about ten minutes, or until right after the announcement that a landslide across the tracks meant our train would be canceled.

So, for some reason, Goras seems to want to keep us in Volos. Some of the band seems to want to meet him to figure out why?  Me, I’d rather just leave by a different method.  It’s not like he can keep us there by any method short of outright detainment.  Personally, I’d rather just take Avalon’s mists to Delphi without bothering to talk to him.  Leave him grasping at air.
