Session 4: Harsh words and hard lessons

Our heroes (if such a term can be used for them) have struck a blow for freedom in the City of Kings. The inquisitor Althea is dead and with her go the Hounds of Shadow which have so plagued the agents of the Rebellion. This should have been a time for reflection, for consolidation, for our heroes to grow together in readiness for the difficult tasks ahead. A blow had been struck and surely the rest of the Cabal must soon fall.

What happened next should have been forseen but a sword which lies too long in its scabbard is often forgotten.

The days following dawned in blood and madness as the Cabal struck back at those who had so injured them. Furious at the death of his closest lieutenant Darius IV ordered the Cabals war machines into action. The Iron Golems walked and brought death and destruction throughout the City crushing many of the Rebellions most secret bases. Our heroes could do little but watch in horror at the might of those terrifying engines of destruction.

Now the rebellion calls its remaining members together to Council, not of war but of survival. Voices are raised and accusations made, there is a traitor within and they must be found!
