The crew settles into Bral just long enough for the story to widen in every direction at once. A new Ogrid’s Waystation door is successfully installed at Large Luigi’s, proving once again that impossible magic can be made alarmingly mundane, while unsettling news surfaces almost immediately: members of the Sons of Daydream are wearing armor tied to ancient legends of the Traveler, a powerful non-deity being associated with airstreams between crystal spheres. Drawn to an altar linked to this Traveler, one of the party experiences a profound vision—of winged ancestors moving freely between worlds, of corrupted red-eyed avian horrors tearing those pathways apart, and of a wounded guardian figure whose stolen relic now appears to be in Abram Sixty’s hands. Elsewhere on Bral, the rest of the party navigates lies layered atop lies while negotiating with a black-market contact connected to Magistrate Dorn. Pistols are traded, threats are exchanged, and a deal is struck: in exchange for help infiltrating Dorn’s compound, the party must retrieve a mysterious obsidian box marked with a ruby doe—an object that clearly matters far more than anyone is willing to admit. Dianne is quietly moved to safety at Ogrid’s as plans solidify around three possible routes into the compound: through the lake, an adjacent building, or the warehouse itself. Between existential revelations about unexpectedly long lifespans, renewed Void King anxieties, ship repairs, returning allies, and the quiet reappearance of Quacklyn the session closes with the sense that Bral is small, tightly wound, and dangerously interconnected. Every choice now feels like it will echo far beyond this floating city.
