e1s10 - Unwelcome Participants George seals the deal with the priests of The Devourer who enjoy a night of tea at the aviary where George finds Meg fretting with the possessed Wyvern pet, Butterfly. WIth pSirit Sight, George finds that the spirits possessing both the kitten and wyvern seem to be similar: they are partially trapped in the bodys of the target creatures during the storm. heading back to the team's apartment, the priests tag to speak with mahewa. The priests advise mahewa that The Devourer is awakening and will caus much harm to everything in the world when it rises from the depths. The priests had been visited by the spirit of Chan, Princess of the Skies that mahewa serves..they give Mahevwa the Ritual of Soothing Storms and pledge fealty to him and his goddess for the sake of protecting humanity. George and Maheva fiddle with a binding circle and remove curse to release the kitten spirit which is successful-- the spirit disappears at the end of the binding spell and the kitten seems otherwise unaffected. next day george shares the results of freeing kitten from the bondings to affect Butterfly for Graal's favor, and otherwise lay low while Loper summons a new hawk companion.. Bob2. end with a Long rest and next day is the contest. Next morning Butterfly is cured and representing Team Graal with Meri and 2 goblins.. the one that has survived all the contests so far and a new young goblin with a gold ring During the contest david triggers TrueSight 30' which allows him to perceive into the spirit world where he catches sight of a wildling spirit riding on the back of Butterfly attempting to control it during the fight. sadly a portion of the contest takes place within a darkness spell where team Graal eventually retreats through a teleport door.. george kills the gold ringed goblin youth and loper destroys the teleport door frame after they escape. George finds them at a nearby barista ordering daiquiris while leaving butterfly alone to continue the battle... in a blind rush Bob2 charges straight down the gullet of butterfly, ending the battle in a single GULP much to the dissatisfaction of the crowd . david voices his observations about the wildling spirit on the wyvern's back as a possible interference to the game... sherriff is willing to witness any solid evidence to support the claim (which will burn favor), but doesn't sway his ruling on the current battle. Processing their loss, the team invites Graal and companions to another dinner this night to discuss the "loss" and how it may pertain to the former offer of throwing the match to earn half the combine farms.
