Chronicle

07e05

Detected magic on Tremere’s Periapt of Health, finding it genuine. In the fight with the shrieking plant, she pelted it with magic missiles, and saved Vondal from a necromantic curse with a healing potion and a prudent dispel magic.

08e02

Noticed a fresh interior wound in Squatch when Callie cut him open.

09e01

Created a bubble of stable reality in the Flux, which combined with Vondal’s. She put to sleep the twisted creature found feeding on Orbach’s body, and the agents brought it aboard the yachtopus.

09e02

First through the opening in the barrier into SPI HQ, she quickly told those inside what was going on.

10e02

Asked why they should take the Cornucopia, rather than one of the smaller relics.

10e04

Adapted a druidic group ritual from a history book Anne Bonny brought, and led the teleportation of the Cornucopia, barely competently, sending only the artifact.

12e05

Cast a tiny hut to shelter the party beside the dormina tree. In the shared dream, she dispelled the Queen’s servant, and told the Queen about the blighted spot where beetles had gone into the ground, suspecting it was related to her pain.

12e06

Worked alongside Enoki and others to perform a ritual that would calm the entire mushroom field at once.

12e07

Traveled in the portable hole and cast rope trick for air; later warned about powerful illusion magic protecting the Fruit.

12e08

Knelt to the Green Knight guarding the Fruit, explaining that the Tree would perish without it. When Ozborn was polymorphed twice in quick succession, she deduced that at least two casters were at work; later she charmed one of the giant shrikes with her hypnotic gaze.

12e09

Took a leap of faith down the hole beside the Fruit, landing near the palace at the base of the Tree amid an infestation of death mushrooms. Using Prevailing Truth, she questioned Isis about how the Book, the Vortex, and Melora’s prophesied Calamity were related.

12e10

Cast confusion on everyone but Freki and herself; Isis and the gnome succumbed. She recognized Isis’s true form as a doppelganger, and was eager to keep the body for study.

12e11

Saw through the shadow conjuration illusions at the treasury. She dispelled the illusory Brucolac, realizing that all the effects were linked in a chain, and finally dispelled the illusory Tybalt, collapsing the spell.

12e12

Carried the Book with mage hand, aided by a Fey influence. In the throne room, she stopped Celes from touching the Book, and tore out a page for Freki’s arrow of slaying instead.

13e01

Tested Isis’s blood with antitoxin and water: it distended and reacted, unable to hold one shape when confronted with another liquid. Callie disguised her as Sima to set a trap for their follower.

13e02

Shared in the mind link through which the changelings of Alye’adu explained their imprints and anchors, and their belief that something at the Tower of Orsis caused the Vanishing.

13e03

Dispelled the thickening magical snow that Talos had conjured.

13e04

Failed her save against Talos’s soul-pulling attack, and felt depleted in some ineffable way. Afterward, she apologized for her cultural insensitivity as she and Callie laid out Isis’s body for the villagers.

14e00

Raised a tiny hut around Mallory’s bed and joined the ritual to heal him. Later, with Callie, she dispelled the magic on Ozborn’s monkey, pulling Cassandra out of it.

14e01

Was entrusted with Sartus Morningdew’s spellbooks. She noticed Cassandra had no shadow. In Arallu, she recognized that Malachai’s spell would turn Feathersworth into a puppet, and asked Lestache directly about totenmaskes.

14e02

Recognized the winged woman as Lady Ilyana Nightshade, and her ring as bearing the symbol of Vecna. Silenced briefly by Nightshade’s command, she then dispelled the charm on Ozborn.

14e03

Stopped the party from destroying the last flameskull so she could question it, learning that the positive energy came from “the Master,” once Timor Invictus, who was trapped in a realm of endless suffering. She disarmed the trap on the study door with dispel magic, and recognized the floor diagram as a portal to be activated by pouring in each kind of magical energy.

14e04

Despite Callie’s warning, offered Vecna’s mirror a secret, and was shown the way through the crypts to a hand on a pedestal: “The time has come for a new wielder.” She got the agents out of the mirror’s plane by reversing the portal, opened the crypt door, and, urged by a dark-skinned elf only she could see, took up the Celestial Hand, sensing Sartus’s presence in it. Divining with it, she learned that Munin “must lose control.” She told Invictus the Hand bore nine elemental symbols, which shocked him.

14e05

Recognized most of Malak’s vampires as spawn, lower ranking and more animalistic. When a vampire in a white dress grappled her for a bite, her fire shield burned it and the others who attacked her.

15e00

Smacked a bat with her mace straight into Cal’s abs. At Bilbo’s, drinking only tea, she told how she joined the SPI to find her father, and pressed Vondal on how SPI HQ was destroyed.

15e01

Read Bilbo’s journal, which bore a residue of illusion magic, and found that he had been used as a lure for other halflings, and wrote that he did what he could “to prevent them from rising as undead.”

15e02

Enjoyed Etria’s banquet (and a plate of celery), noticing that the feast spell took one minute instead of ten, then danced with Etria and talked magic with her; when Etria professed that nothing matters after 500 years, Bec countered that mortals don’t have time to get bored.

15e03

With Callie, put on a show presenting the candles of the deep as Clan SPI’s offering. During the hunt, she lit the way with her shrouded mace of disruption, and raised a tiny hut on the flying carpet, a silent-running covered wagon that kept the Malachimera out.

15e04

Detected abjuration magic shielding Sophie’s hideout, flew the carpet to it, and, inside, held Sophie with her hypnotic gaze so that Cal could knock the cursed sword from her hand.

15e05

Asked Goratrix about his feud with Lestache, and proposed joining forces to take down the Death Tyrant. Goratrix offered to teach her his telekinesis, and more, if she joined his clan.

15e06

Trapped the Death Tyrant in a cube of dazzling magic, which also snared Sophie, and reflected the tyrant’s blast back so that it charmed itself. She vaulted over the pews.

15e07

Sliced off many of the Death Tyrant’s tentacles with a purple storm of cloud of daggers, then snuck toward the sarcophagus. Noticing something wrong with Cal, she dispelled the Brucolac’s charm on him.

15e08

Turned the agents invisible as they raced back to the chapel on the carpet. Inside, the Celestial Hand spoke to her in three voices: the Brucolac sought to take Themis’s power; they must stop him; or take it for herself. The Hand helped her divinity flourish, and, at the cost of psychic pain, she sensed that the power Ozborn could steal lay inside the Brucolac, whose magic was out of balance. She attacked him with chill touch and a dazzling rainbow, and fell unconscious when he drained the agents’ essence.

15e09

Unconscious in the chapel, protected by a harp’s enchantment, she was stabilized by Callie and teleported back to HQ, where Cassandra healed her. She showed Cassandra the Celestial Hand, formerly the Hand of Vecna, no longer evil. That night the Hand let her hear someone knocking and calling for help; it led her to a hidden trap door bearing Vecna’s symbol in HQ’s basement, which the Hand unsealed despite a voice warning that Vecna did not want it opened.

16e02

Told Audreth the agents were under Nerull’s protection, superseding the Furies. She mesmerized two of the Cerberus’s heads with hypnotic pattern, helped restore Audreth, and, having seen a woman in a tower in the mirror shards, wanted to press on; she recognized Lorelei from Audreth’s memory.

16e03

Turned into a very angry potted plant by Vondal’s wild magic, until Audreth’s aura restored her. In the tower, she cast tiny hut so the agents could rest.

16e04

Guided by the Celestial Hand to a grate beneath a storage room, she freed someone who seemed to be Vondal. Her dispel magic on the illusion of Callie’s mother awakened something in Callie. On the stairs, she and Callie willed the agents upward through the tower, and a whisper from Rafflesia Wildfall told her she needed to wake up. After the Great Old One’s gaze, she was left permanently unable to take anything seriously.

16e05

Her madness, reshaped by Vondal, became a newfound fondness for killing people. Her planar duplicates gave her insight into where they had been; she threw a cloud of daggers at the shadow creatures, and an energy bolt at Shadow Oz.

16e06

With Ozborn, discovered Lorelei asleep in a bedroll at the campsite, and recoiled when her detect magic showed the Flux tentacle reaching into Lorelei’s brain. She told Lorelei her sister was safe.

16e07

Cast hypnotic pattern at the monsters, most of which seemed immune, then hampered their spellcasting and hasted herself.

16e08

Stood firm when Callie’s flood swept the others off their feet. After the agents rejected Megaera’s bargain, the Flux changed her: green skin and eyebrows, spines through her clothes, and green eyes that see in the dark, in shades of blue. She stepped into a prismatic zone with no air, and dispelled it from herself and Ozborn.

16e09

Named the other Vondal “Nondal,” and, frustrated by his non-answers, dispelled him, revealing a silver cord of astral projection; she noticed his gloves drawing in the wisps of Freki’s soul.

17e00

Summed up that Lorelei was stable but still needed the Flux removed safely. At breakfast, she confessed to Mallory that she had kept changeling body parts out of scientific excitement; all that was left in her bag was goo.

17e02

Called the Acrid Marshes “the armpit of Aecus.” At Grohnea’s, she asked eagerly about the soul larvae, and was the first to be treated, her thorns, woody skin and bushy eyebrows drawn out of her into a butterfly.

17e03

Turned the agents invisible for the approach to the Storm Stables, spotted a crevice where they might slip into the glacier, and dispelled the enchantments on both Jorik and Magna, ending the fight.

17e06

Paralyzed the giant Erka with an enchantment, leaving her open to Ozborn’s 144-point onslaught, and tried to hold Rhyzophus as he fled. The giants targeted her, knocking her unconscious repeatedly; Callie kept reviving her.

17e07

Found a notebook of runes predating the giants, describing magic to rewrite a person’s essence, and dropped the corrupted behir eggs into the lava. She bluffed her way past suspicious hill giants by claiming Rhyzophus had made her look weird.

17e08

Showed Ulgrim the way down through the hot spring to Rhyzophus’s chamber, and explained, reluctantly, the soul larvae and the eggs.

17e09

Blasted Ozborn’s possessed crystal ball apart with magic missiles. At Grohnea’s, she and Vondal studied the bloom curse’s central flower: each petal a memory, protected by safeguards against being dispelled all at once.

18e00

In her debrief, she omitted the fight between Freki and Oz, the Prometheus chamber, and the giants’ redemption quest. Mallory faulted her leadership, since two agents were nearly killed on her watch, by each other. She helped Cassandra test Soul Extension, and placed contingency spells on the field agents using Cassandra’s statuettes as anchors.
