# The Silver Star Meddles with Fate _Special Thanks to **[[Ghaz]]** for transcribing this from [The Silver Star](The%20Silver%20Star.md) Ep 7_ - >[!info|no-i clean]- ### Klomp (Present – Bound and Broken) Arcadum: A sigil on the beast. A fleshed carving. Roll Arcana 25 You recognize what it is, an arcane mark, the signature of a mage and their work. This beast a magical monstrosity created by a willful hand. It has seems it has gone unnoticed. The thread gives you a feeling. You may reach through and make what is not, so. Shall you interfere? Klomp: **I will let them see.** Arcadum: So be it. >[!info|no-i clean]- ### Booker (Future - Sins of the Father) Arcadum: As you stare through the thread toward the future, you see the thread has frayed. There is nothing. In that nothingness, you feel a deep sense of sorrow, but there is something else. Within that nothingness, a presence. A feeling. An entity. Will you pull on the thread you cannot see, or leave the future as it shall be? Booker: **I pull on the thread as tears fill my eyes.** Arcadum: So be it. >[!info|no-i clean]- ### Rea (Past - Court of Curses) Arcadum: As you gaze upon the past, you see a cursed forest. The rising of four towers. One of which you recognize. You can see the corpulent obese creature you had faced before. One of the brothers, lift up a man you recognize, black and raven haired. A body not quite alive, but not quite dead. Forced to nail a woman to a crystal. You can see that both of them are heavy with tears in their eyes. You can see the obese corpulent creature cast down the man you recognize. He writes runes to remind himself of that which he has lost. To remind himself to have strength. To remind himself not to give up. But there is nothing not quite so benign. There is hatred within him. Each rune that he writes to prevent him from giving in to despair. The runes can be changed, like a simple domino. And the course could be shifted should you choose to. Rea: The runes themselves feel like they have hatred in them? Arcadum: The man. Rea: Is there a way I could change the runes to possibly ease his hatred? Arcadum: That is the path he is already on. Rea: **Then I do nothing.** Arcadum: So be it. >[!info|no-i clean]- ### Kiana (Present - The Dark Sermon) Arcadum: As you gaze upon the present, you can see these companions seated upon a vessel. Their hearts heavy with failure. A dark cloud has encompassed their minds. Their morale is shaken. Fear and panic can be felt just at the edge of the otherwise unwavering courage of their hearts. They feel their loss. They feel everything. However, there are many ways to act as a salve to this situation. To alleviate this burden of pain. Something floats in the water nearby. Something once lost to the sailor’s past. With just a simple change of course, this cache, this unknown crate of wonders would pass them by or could find its way to them. The choice is yours to interfere. Kiana: I do not pull the thread. Arcadum: Are you sure that is what you wish to do? Kiana: Fate is very tricky. I change my mind and pull upon the thread. Arcadum: Are you sure that is what you wish to do? Kiana: It is best just to leave it be. **I do not wish to interfere with others.** Arcadum: Are you confirming that action? Kiana: Yes, locked in. I confirm. Arcadum: So be it. >[!info|no-i clean]- ### Dalos Talonblade (Future - The Silver Star) Arcadum: As you look towards the future. You see a sight that is most unsettling, before you you see a battlefield encompassing an entire mountaintop, below there are fires that claim towns and villages. Nestled within the crest of this mountaintop lie you and your companions bloodied and broken. Each one faced down in the snow reaching outwards toward something. Something etched into the side of the mountain and then you see it. A face. A face etched into the mountain. A face that overlooks the center of the wastes. But then you notice something. Something that doesn’t quite make sense. You recognize the people that you see, but they are different. They are your companions but they are something else entirely. Your mind becomes burdened. Pain shifts and twists. You see a bear. You see a warrior with two blades. You see a woman in robes. You see a man in full armor. Shifted into the snow. One of your companion yet still stands. He stands looking over them. Frozen in sorrow. You see Booker. As you stare upon him he looks back to you and through his eyes the scene shifts from familiar strangers to those that you see before you. It shifts from a broken mountaintop to a ship crashed into an island at sea. Their bodies crashed upon the beach. Booker only sees the presence of a laughing god, but despite this you sense something else. Something in the thread that may yet change this fate. Something in the thread that may allow that which was not seen to be seen again. All you must do is interfere. So what shall it be? Dalos: I have a feeling this has big effects… **I will interfere.** Arcadum: Are you sure that is what you wish to do? Dalos: I… I will interfere. Arcadum: So be it. >[!info|no-i clean]- ### Harrowing Punishment > >The Past >- **The Bear: A punishment of the past.

Restore what can be. Remember what cannot. Those before you. Those after you. Much damage must be repaired. Wrongs made right. Understanding difficult. By those that cannot see the truth of time.** **You seek truth? THEN LOOK.** **You see yourself and your companions moving about the island you left behind. You’re walking in a stupor. One of you running into a door, over and over again. Another sleeping in the bed. Scales slowly growing over skin.** **Cost to cross the deep. Cost to live so deep. One so in depth under abyss and sea.** **The body believes so the soul can persevere. The knowledge of the kuo toa and the sahaguin those who came before were changed. For the kuo toa and the sahaguin can make that which they believe true. They which can change fate.** **Truth is. Truth is not. It only is. The others that came before did not survive the Matron’s wrath. If you wish to return you must succeed where they have failed.** **Booker: If there is one thing I have learned is that it has already been written. We must only walk the path.**
