# 40_20210102 The ethics of redemption %%[Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD2YaLP2pZw)%% ## Session Summary: We discussed the morality of redeeming harpies. Ka'ira felt at odds with Maestro and me because we didn't let her redeem the harpy and instead killed it. I explained that I attack what attacks me, and that's how I've been able to survive. Maestro revealed that he judges creatures he comes across according to whether he thinks they have souls. Without any real conclusion, we left to give the ettercaps the dead harpy, and then headed to the Big Tree Spire to try and get back [[Seelak]]. We nearly succeeded in knocking him unconscious, but he fled into [[The Aviary]] instead. He had begun to be petrified, however, so it's possible that he is just a stone statue somewhere. In the process of attempting to save him, however, he bull rushed, breaking the door to the Big Tree Spire, and we inadvertently entered another battle with [[Tar'gath the Beholder]]. ^summary ## Recap ![[39_20210101 Harpy Hunting#^summary]] ## Log - Entertain/motivate temp HP: 10 temp HP - 1d6 + charisma, and if you succeed by 5, add 1d6 HP - Ettercap has started to be petrified - Initiative - 32 Maestro - 23 Eraithe - 21 Ka'ira - 20 Ettercap and harpies - 15 Xio - Gloomtoes - 13 Snowflake - 100 leaves - Defenses (Prince Ettercap) - AC: 18 - Reflex: 16 - Will: 16 - Can spend 1 surge to do another encounter, 2 to spend another daily. - Can spend 1 surge to give +2 to an attack. - Harpies are still flying around, but there are big windows now for us to pass through, and we can see the cliffs. - [x] Find [[Seelak]] (or the statue that he's become) in [[The Aviary]] - and try to take out [[Displacer Beast]]s there while we're at it. #[[ttrpgs/Order of the Wandering Mind/Agenda]] [[Next Actions]] -
