Ramen S1C1E7

While Sneek and the gang had dispatched their would-be Kenku Assassins, where had Tearlag Gravehearth gotten to?

Summary
Meanwhile Tearlag is surprised to see that her compass has picked up a thread.

Tugging at this thread she transfers and hurtles across the Cosmic Plane!

From bright light to pure darkness she finds herself not fully manifested in an unknown location.

Straining to ascertain her surroundings she sees a figure stirring in the black its form had been blocking out the dim candle light and working with a mortar and pestle.

She tries to communicate, but finds it difficult barely in ghost form.

Rocking the candle the being in this dark room acknowledges her presence and a piercing voice asks who would dare to haunt him?

Tearlag asks where she is.

The figure pulls a book from underneath the work surface which is littered with various materials including herbs and animal parts including entrails and gizzards.

Answering his questions Tearlag sees a moment of recognition underneath his hood.

He pull his hood down to reveal that he is a Lich!

Reaching behind him he pulls a dust cover off of a cupboard with glass doors. Inside are rows of multicoloured vials. He searches for a short time before removing one of these vials.

He states that he knows exactly who she is and what she is after, but soon he won’t need any of them. However he’ll keep hold of this one just to spite her.

Tearlag unleashes a Thunderwave at the Lich!

He pulls up the dust cover which burns upon impact.

Out of the embers the Lich is unscathed and with one hand on the book he retrieved he pulls the hand up forming layers of casting circles. He then pushes forward and for Tearlag all is black again.

The blackness does not persist, instead Tearlag is greeted by a serene voice.

The voice says that from one mother to another, her journey should not have to end here.

Sneek and party loot the downed Kenku.

Having taken damage during the fight Cerda gives Chaya a shot of Granny’s Poppy Tea.

They continue north where the woods start becoming thicker and less touched by mortal feet.

Chaya’s feline eyes get mesmerised by flittering lights and embers in between the trees. She follows until they erupt into a bright grove.

The grove has stones marked in runes arranged in a circle with the trees arched around the clearing in a circular pattern also.
