Heretics Betrayed as Thoma's Press Raid Goes Loud

“After visiting Killian in the Shrouded District to negotiate collar removal and angel-hunting intel, the party agreed to help raid the Church's printing press in exchange for information on Dave Harp's murderer Malak and a stolen orphanage baby. Derrin Abigor, Tavaria Vance, Deacon Abigor, and Azquireth Silverblood joined a squad of heretics led by the volatile pyromancer Thoma, who Derrin recognized as the red-winged mother from the orphanage case. What began as a quiet infiltration exploded into brutal combat as Gray Templars and reinforcements flooded in, with Derrin splitting enemies in two with his hammer and Azquireth dropping spirit guardians and bone spears to devastating effect. Deacon seized Thoma mid-escape attempt and wounded her for answers, only to discover her gloves hid an angelic touch and that she was steering the squad toward a suicide mission against the city's new militia captain, Belial. The session ended on a cliffhanger with Belial's forces marching on the building and the party furious at Killian for apparently setting them up.”
