Burning Bush

“Both Body and Mind Seek to know you with their thorns From right behind you”
-Ravings of Amaryllis, Petalgate Chief of the Arts
___
The City-State of Petalgate is suspended in orbit around the Tytanwood, an incomprehensibly massive tree. It is currently experiencing a severe drought for as-of-yet unknown reasons. Recent reports have also surfaced of some civilians behaving… uncharacteristically.

Your mission is to investigate these disturbances, and to identify and root out their origins.

You will be teleported into the Servant’s Slums near your client, Percival the Poor

The Agents ported in. They met up with a crew called the thornclippers who hated the government and were scared of vines. Baldwin stabbed a vine and revealed that it was a robot! Hunter tracked the vines back to a cave.

The agents went to the cave where they encountered two guards, both of whom seemed posessed and attacked the agents with vines. They dispatched of them with violence and proceeded into the cave.

Inside they followed the vines, eventually finding a monstrous creature within the "golden shower" waste disposal system. It attacked the party with its vines and maw as Mildred saw a vision of "everything burning." Its vines wounded the brave Baldwin, but Gavle managed to take it down by summoning a flaming bull. This brought Mildred's prophecy to bear, however the fire spread up the vines into the slums. Baldwin was overtaken with the posession, but managed to stave it off with Mildred's help.

Returning to find the slums on fire, Baldwin recovered as the others assembled the Thornclippers and navigated past the guard gate to the castle. The castle had now changed the rain to focus only on the castle itself. Upon reaching the castle, they confronted the court members and after a tense meeting, they cut down the high chairs so the members would all fall into the water, including Captain Emoria who was the mind of the foul creatures.
