The Execution of Lia Garrion
The party arrives in Redbridge, ending their employment escorting of The Azure Caravan from Boccorit. As they enter the town, they are a drawn to a large crowd.
"Witnesses, attend me! The justice of Wee Jas is about to be served!" A man stands on a raised dais, a crowd arrayed before him. He is armored in dragon scales of a purple color and he rests a monstrous greatsword upon his shoulder. A woman, in tatters, is bound to a pole next to him. She has a mad look to her eyes.
"This is Lia Garrion! You know her crimes! Without regret, she admits to drowning her two children in the River Drearian! If there were any doubt that there is evil in this world, I present it to you in physical form on this day! This woman must be purged of her life!" This man is Mirrikh Tyrel, inquisitor of Wee Jas and justicar of Kandor. The man is usually without pity or mercy when meting out punishment, but he turns from the crowd to address the woman, speaking loud enough for the crowd to still hear.
"Lia Garrion, the Dark-eyed Lady has smiled upon you this day. She has permitted me to allow you to speak before she takes you into her embrace. Come, this is your final chance to show remorse for your crimes." The justicar cuts free her gag.
A stream of gibberish of no known language escapes from Lia's mouth. Suddenly, her eyes glow white and a forceful utterance escapes from her lips. A dozen azure bolts of arcane energy spring forth from her bound fingertips, striking Mirrikh directly in his chest. He nearly goes to one knee, but quickly recovers. In a single, smooth motion, his greatsword cleaves Lia's head from her body. The head bounces against the pole, but instead of turning end over end, the head maintains its orientation, staring intently into the crowd as it falls.
While the crowd watched on, Illia experienced something differently.
As the head of Lia Garrion falls, she stares into your eyes, searching. You feel a jolt, and your senses are pulled from your body. Your vision rushes southward from Redbridge, over various hills, streams, and plains. Your perception comes to a stop a few days walk away atop a large hill. The hill shakes violently, as a passage into the ground is formed on the side of the hill. Strange, steel-colored creatures emerge from the newly-formed passage. Their bodies are insectoid-like with a serrated spine going down their back.
Some of the gibberish of Lia Garrion becomes clear in your mind, "The blood of the Restorer flowed through their veins. I had to do it, before the cult found them..."
