 ======Session 12======
-This session was played on 15/10/2025. [[pc:clark_dubois|Clark]], [[pc:gaia_dynko|Gaia]] and [[pc:maelle_ckurimoto|Maelle]] join [[npc:Mauto]] in a journey to [[place:Kesizma]] proper, but the way is trickier than expected.
+This session was played on 2025-09-14. [[pc:clark_dubois|Clark]], [[pc:gaia_dynko|Gaia]] and [[pc:maelle_kurimoto|Maelle]] join [[npc:Mauto]] in a journey to [[place:Kesizma]] proper, but the way is trickier than expected.
 ======Plot======
+Clark, Gaia and Maelle find themselves still in the palace, waiting for Mauto to recover enough for them to actually do the journey to a place where they can open a portal to Kesizma proper.
+They take advantage of the time by trying to get a better grasp of the local language and traditions: Clark slums it out in the outside city where he gets to know a little of how the lower-class citizens live, Gaia spends half her time trying to find metalsmiths that would be interested in buying empty cans and the other half trying to get Dream Amanda to teach her some stuff, and Maelle finds themself learning the local epics and visiting scholars where they discovers that these people have access to anagusi books, capable of revolutionizing several fields back in their original timeline.
+In the middle of this, [[npc:Ariyadna]] comes to say good bye and explains that she will see them later this month, because that is how the future will be and she has already seen it. This confuses the party a lot.
+Some days later, the entire city is shocked to learn that there has been a clash between their warriors and [[org:Rigasian Army]]. The party is asked again to appear in front of the court to explain about the rigasian military and tactics, which they are quite happy to do.
+As Mauto nears closer to recovery, Gaia loses the last of her patience and decides they have to go now. She manages to convince the [[place:anagut|anagusi]] woman that they should leave before the rigasians have more time to do damage, and the court agrees, providing small cavalry escort.
+Sadly the situation has become direr than they thought: in a lonely stretch of the river road, they hear gunshots and believe themselves ambushed. They dismount and see two running rigasian soldiers that they shoot, only to discover that they were not running towards them, but from a handful of giant [[mob:hairy crab|crab-shaped aberrations]].
+Seeing one of the aberrations start to devour the corpse of one of the soldiers as the [[npc:corporal schidera|other]], incapacitated, screams for help, Gaia shouts to leave, but Maelle refuses to accept yet another death in their head and runs towards the aberration to save the still living soldier. Clark freezes the ground under the aberrations, make two of them slide and fall, but this is not enough to save Maelle.
+Derek, seeing Maelle running towards the danger, charges too. This greatly upsets Gaia and she jumps to the grassland, being left behind. Derek reaches Maelle and rams the aberration about to kill them.
+As Derek defends them, Maelle and Clark barely manage to load the wounded soldier on the giant wolf, then they mount and run away as fast as they can. Gaia is rescued by Mauto, and they likewise run away.
+Maelle and Clark barely manage to tourniquet the leg of the wounded soldier, that was quickly bleeding out from the shot.

 [[pc:Rose]] had one-hour lag.
-[[place:Maçodel]] is not playing the timeline game because they are busy budilding a jupiter brain this century.
+Ariyadna seems to know enough Shon to sprinkle a word here and there when she speaks of some topics.
+Maelle has now a very basic understanding of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_of_Sundiata|Epic of Sundiata]].
+The scene in which Gaia's shouts to run and abandon the rigasian soldier were ignored by Maelle to charge and try to save him anyway was actually triggering for Gaia's player herself. We managed to talk out the situation and channel the thing towards better Gaia roleplaying.
+[[place:Maçodel]] is not playing the timeline game because they are busy building a jupiter brain this century.
+Apparently, Maelle relaxes by geeking out about stuff; in this session it was astrophysics.
