Malak's Bargain: Duchess Skin for Freedom

“Day four of the time loop opened with a new perspective: Tavaria Vance, a blind Shard of Light guard, was recruited into the loop by the Omniternal entity after watching her nephew Eric get arrested for theft. Meanwhile, Deacon and Derrin navigated the Shrouded District to broker two major deals — first with smuggler Killian for an introduction, then with the faceless automaton Malak, who offered to remove their Repenter collars in exchange for the untainted skin of High Duchess Moon Gold. Azquireth extracted critical lore from mentor Ajahir about the Omniternal entity, learning that the loop can be broken by identifying and eliminating personal 'anchors,' and later infiltrated the sealed Asylum beneath the Grand Cathedral, discovering intact vials of white liquid and a runic inscription. The session ended with all four party members converging — Tavaria tracked down the Abigor brothers at the Repenter prison, Derrin grabbed her through the bars and Orion severed his hand, and the Omniternal reset the day once more, inflicting madness on the entire party.”
