Chronicle
- 01e01
Passed Dominic Tremere’s list of suspects to her assistant Gavin Pepperpotts, who recognized only two of the names.
- 07e04
Confronted Alex Orbach, believing he had stolen both the Necronomicon and her family heirloom, and made him produce his quantum-linked chalk. Her speak with dead on Tremere’s corpse named Orbach as the murderer, before the spell unraveled for unknown reasons.
- 08e01
Cast speak with dead on the murdered investor Vanesse, who said she had stepped back from a huge clown, and that she had been serious about investing in the circus.
- 09e03
Joined hands with her fellow casters for a group dispel magic, then again using the Arkenstone in Cal’s sword as a focus, whereupon all her magic was sucked into the sword. When Meroe and Panthea ran, she shot at them with her crossbow, then saved Meroe’s life with Vondal’s wand of healing after Ozborn stabbed her. She healed Freki again after his sparring match with Mary Reed.
- 10e02
Tried to talk Seirye down after Freki’s rude interrogation, and gave her a little information about the puzzlebox.
- 10e04
Proposed teleporting the Cornucopia to her parents’ vault in Cognitutus, and drew the sigil sequence. When her mother demanded an explanation, she replied that she was saving the world and family honor. She also sent to R. Martine Andrews, offering help.
- 10e05
Sent to Gardenblossom asking what was going on (and that she still loved the clock). At the corrupted HQ, a branch she tried to heal disintegrated, revealing it as undead; Vondal’s magic made her burst into blinding light; and she reluctantly put back the alchemical fire she had tried to sneak from the evil desk’s loot.
- 12e05
Ate dormina fruit and dreamed of adventures with old friends, until she found Sima chained in a cave, and was swallowed by a figure with an eyeless mushroom face. In the shared dream, she swore the oath of service with Orsob.
- 12e06
Healed Oz’s psychic damage from the mushroom attack, but felt as though stabbed in the soul by pure death and evil. She then helped Enoki with his ritual to calm the mushrooms.
- 12e07
Calmed Freki’s panic in the portable hole, then levitated up the Tree, towed by Freki. She recalled that Hyperion, whom Cal asked Phoebe about, is the name of a titan.
- 12e08
Asked the Green Knight who had summoned him, to no avail. In the battle with Isis, she blessed herself, Oz and Freki, and sliced into Isis with a spiritual weapon.
- 12e09
Kept in touch by sending: with Bec, who had survived the jump down the hole, and with Tybalt, who said the Queen was in her chambers and the Book safe in the royal vault, and to leave it alone.
- 12e10
Healed Phoebe with cure wounds, sensing her goddesses and a less familiar divine presence as Feymist infused her hand. She chose not to calm Phoebe’s rage against Isis.
- 12e11
Cast calm emotions against the illusions’ waves of terror, helping Freki shake off his stun and Ozborn see through the illusion; struck the dark Oz-ghost with a spiritual weapon; and healed the wounded with a prayer of healing. She contributed three spell slots to the ritual on the Book.
- 12e12
Sensed Sartus’s spirit dissipating, leaving a lifeless husk, and that the Book was still evil, though much less so. In the throne room, the black ooze gushed all over her.
- 13e01
Checked in on Enoki by sending, and cast speak with dead on Isis, who revealed she came from Alye’adu, on a mission to protect the world from another Vanishing by watching the nations and intervening in their affairs. She disguised Bec as Sima, and herself and Ozborn as trees, to ambush whatever followed them.
- 13e02
Channeled divinity to learn that the veil would open to one who knew the place’s name, which she had heard from Isis’s corpse; speaking “Alye’adu” with Erathis’s voice as Ozborn stabbed the veil, she tore it open, sensing that Erathis already knew of the place. Inside, she learned of the changelings’ imprints and anchors, and asked about the white crane tattoo, which several villagers considered helpful.
- 13e03
Saw through Talos’s stalling (“Stop horsing around!”), then waited where he would return from Vondal’s banishment with spirit guardians and a spiritual weapon.
- 13e04
Fought Talos and Andalla with spirit guardians and a spiritual weapon, and calmed Talos’s rage with a 5th-level calm emotions. Later, her augury from Erathis approved Vondal’s plan to weave Flux into the village’s door.
- 14e00
Recognized the villager Respa as resembling the woman from Hollerd’s farm. She led the healing of Mallory with the Arkenstone, then sent to Cassandra and saw Ozborn’s monkey come to life in answer. She saw herself in the mirror the monkey shattered, divined with augury that dispelling the monkey was wise, and did so with Bec, freeing Cassandra. Her sendings found Eeoram’s spirit not on this plane, and summoned Squeaks to a briefing.
- 14e01
At Gavin’s Emporium, holding sovereign glue and a cube of mending, she had a vision of a door hiding infinite forbidden knowledge and a secret only she could know, which she might seal forever, or enter first. At the meeting with the Arallans, she sensed Malachai expected something to happen if the agents went to the Chamber of Whispers.
- 14e02
Noticed that Nightshade’s ring bore the symbol of Vecna, who deals in secrets. She petted the unicorn of Vondal’s wild magic surge and was suffused with holy power, snatched Nightshade’s potion from the charmed Ozborn, and, ordered to drink it, barely resisted after a delicious taste.
- 14e03
Barely resisted Lady Nightshade’s potion again, with Vondal’s help, then cast calm emotions to free her frightened and charmed friends.
- 14e04
Warned Bec and Vondal against trading secrets to Vecna’s mirror, and made the group promise not to engage with any more paranormal phenomena without agreement. She told Cal that the Celestial Hand and his sword shared the same energy, resisted Malachai’s binding spell, and learned from Erathis that killing Invictus required vengeance shared wholeheartedly by “she” and “her shadow.”
- 14e05
Reminded everyone of Mallory’s warning not to unbalance Arallu’s powers. Swarmed by Malak’s ghouls and ghasts, she was paralyzed, until Vondal teleported her back inside the manor. From the window, she deflected Malak’s mind magic, destroyed the retreating mist vampire with sacred flame, and struck Malak with a spiritual weapon.
- 15e00
Calmed the transformed Freki with calm emotions. At Bilbo’s, she recognized the house’s raven imagery as Nerull’s, and was visited by her goddess Avandra, who told her she was doing a great job.
- 15e02
Disguised Ozborn as Bilbo. At the ball, the charming Enoch the Wise plied her with drinks, and she told him more than she intended about Invictus’s fate. When Lestache unveiled his creature, she found her goddess badge showing Avandra on both sides, with no sign of Erathis, and heard Avandra laughing in her mind.
- 15e03
Knew the sword of retribution would make its wielder paranoid, then turn her into a devil. She made a show of the agents’ offering to the hunt’s pot, and during the hunt channeled Avandra to send a shrieking duplicate of herself to distract the Brujah, blessing and guiding her friends through unhallowed ground.
- 15e04
Hid the flying carpet behind a building. Reaching for calm emotions in Sophie’s hideout, she found Avandra had replaced it with another spell, which swapped her with Sophie. Later, she turned undead to scatter the vampires grappling Cal, and felt someone watching her: Goratrix.
- 15e05
Asked Sophie about her service to Tiamat, sensing feelings she could not say aloud. She swapped her boots of elvenkind for boots of false tracks, and cast pass without trace before Freki carried the others into the Soulbound Rest in the portable hole.
- 15e06
Turned the ghosts guarding the sarcophagus, channeling Avandra, and dissipated the rest with her spiritual weapon.
- 15e07
Had a vision of a harp driving an army of ghosts to feed the Death Tyrant, with another will weaving reality behind it, and urged the agents to kill it or flee. She shared her visions with the Brucolac, which he deemed worth sending an agent along with them.
- 15e08
Calmed Sophie out of the charm she had cast on Ozborn. In the chapel, she had a vision of a shrine to her goddesses at HQ that she did not build, but that still happened. Connected to Ozborn through Avandra, she conjured a kaiju-sized duplicate of herself that fired a giant deck of cards at the Brucolac (“IS THIS YOUR CARD?”).
- 15e09
Stabilized Bec, then teleported the agents out of the Brucolac’s chapel to SPI HQ, landing in the women’s dorm by the shrine to her goddesses. That night, touching the Celestial Hand, she too heard the voices from the basement, and her tarot reading on opening the trap door drew the Hermit, reversed.
- 16e02
Was bitten by a three-headed beast that leapt out of a mirror shard. She stabilized the fallen Audreth, sensing he was not really their enemy, healed the group with mass healing word, and suggested using the place’s responsiveness to focus on the people they sought.
- 16e03
Blessed her friends and summoned Avandra’s rapier as a spiritual weapon, which finally nudged the flesh-beast into oblivion, restoring Cassandra.
- 16e04
Stabbed the aboleth’s seed growing in a vision of her mother with her Trident of Fish Command, resisting its screaming will. Her trident turned rainbow-hued, and her goddess pin showed her own face. When the Great Old One’s eye fell on them, she found she could make up a spell, and cast a “zone of reality” that pierced the illusions, waking everyone screaming; she was left dazed and suggestible.
- 16e05
Was compelled for a few minutes to do whatever anyone told her. Her tarot reading counseled patience. She rebuked the shadow creatures, sending two fleeing, and healed Ozborn at his request.
- 16e06
Was mauled to 1 hit point by the monstrous Freki, then healed everyone. When contingent realities collapsed into one, she found herself brimming with vitality, with copies of her items and some spell slots restored.
- 16e07
Took a lightning bolt that Ozborn dodged, then kept the team going with bless and mass healing, until Megaera’s psychic blast sapped her intellect.
- 16e08
Used her Trident of Fish Command and control water to wash the Demogorgons away. When Megaera demanded “death for life,” Erathis warned that letting Cassandra die would earn boons and saving her would bring fury; urged on by Avandra’s curiosity, Callie saved Cassandra with an aura of life. Overwhelmed by the Flux, she felt an ancient power take her body as a vessel, and woke with pixie wings that shed glitter.
- 16e09
Sensed that the gate opened onto the real Afterworld where Nerull rules. She brought everyone home with a strained word of recall, Ozborn teleporting to his dagger, landing at her shrine to the goddesses, where Vondal offered a cookie and Freki a lilac sprig.
- 17e00
Woke to Lorelei’s screams and closed her Flux sores with heal. At the debrief, she communed with her goddesses: Avandra favored Grohnea over Saint Benedor, Erathis did not; both said the monk was not a real Vondal; and Bram “technically” knew where the missing agents were.
- 17e02
Sent to Hyperion on Cal’s behalf and felt a soul-deep chill on reaching him. Grohnea’s soul larva drew her glitter out of her.
- 17e03
Chose to lose her glitter but keep her wings, and took a ward from Grohnea that would reveal a creature’s weakness once; Grohnea put her in charge of deciding when the agents return. At the Storm Stables, she fluttered to Cal’s side, but fumbled her dispel magic on Magna.
- 17e05
Struck Verthandi with a spiritual weapon, but was blinded by the twin giants’ jewels and stunned by Rhyzophus’s onslaught.
- 17e06
Struck by the corrupted storm cloud, she felt Munin’s spirit enter her, granting calm, wisdom and relief from her afflictions, and a vision through the raven cloak: Rubinia contained Lorelei’s Flux in a necromantic “flesh partition,” leaving her stable but with sharp teeth, claws and scars. She kept her friends alive through the battle, then placed soul larvae in the mouths of the fallen giants for Grohnea.
- 17e07
Placed soul larvae in the dead giants, which returned as butterflies. Investigating Rhyzophus’s desk, she recognized Prometheus’s symbol. During Cal’s show of force, she used thaumaturgy to boom orders and thunder.
- 17e08
Calmed two of the behirs with calm emotions, letting Kavaki coax them back toward their pens.
- 17e09
Put her Clamulet of Protection from Turning on the infected Ozborn, and healed the group. She brought everyone back to Grohnea’s cottage, a chaotic, painful trip, and doused the flaming Vondal with her decanter of endless water. When Vondal killed Sissae, Callie punched him.
- 18e00
Puzzled over the clamulet around Ozborn’s neck, which shouldn’t exist, since she had given it to Sophie Steelboots; with Bec and Cassandra, she concluded it came from one of the parallel realities folded into them in the phantom Afterworld. She joined Cassandra’s contingency research.
