PseudoBritannia: Kell

Ismene and Pascal

The page contains several scribbled notes in Mirava's handwriting.

While in the Adventurer's Guild in Avalon, I approached a man named Pascal, who was apparently a mage. He wanted us to enter a particular tower belonging to his master, another magicial by the name of Kell. An emotional sort, he was initially suspicious of Valicus, and seemed paranoid that we were under the control of his rival.

The other mage, this one by the name of Ismene, also wanted us to enter the tower, but for the sake of protecting Kell. As can be expected, Ismene was Pascal's rival. She also had a rather remarkable way of viewing the world... namely that everyone was only out for their own selfish ends, so her own selfish purposes were justified. Manipulating people using her looks (and supposedly her magic) was perfectly fine in her world.

Through some convoluted circumstances (mostly thanks to Marcel...), the group ended up playing the two mages off each other. We were to meet Pascal at the tower, while Marcel distracted Ismene.

We managed to break into the tower, in spite of an elemental creature barring the way. The guardian out of the way, we made our way to the top and discovered Kell's body. He had apparently suffered a fatal magical accident.

Ismene and Marcel arrived not long after. A confrontation between Pascal and Ismene ensued. Through this, it was discovered that Ismene had allegedly found Kell's body, and wanted to loot the tower before anyone else came to claim it. Pascal wanted to protect Kell's reputation, and continue his research.

Eventually, the mages were calmed, and it was decided that since Ismene only wanted loot, and Pascal wanted the tower, they would each get a share. Marcel was able to distract Pascal from revenge by coming up with some plot involving the Society of Sacrifice or Artificers or something.

For our trouble, we were given rooms to stay in temporarily, and a portion of the discovered relics. I suppose that it worked out for the best, even if it was not to my liking. Though I find I've acquired a distaste for magi, at least Pascal got what he wanted. His goals seemed the nobler of the two, even if he may be deluded as to reason of Kell's death.
