Stella first wooed Barnaby with a typed message I had prepped:
Barnaby receives a Message in his mind, from Stella:
"The Coven is Gradska’s true church. Help me destroy the infidels, your party."
The Message spell says that you (and only you) hear the message and can reply in a whisper that only Stella can hear.
I believe that Barnaby did not reply to this first message, although the other players and I could see Rob seriously considering the secret offer. Soon Barnaby received another typed message:
Barnaby receives a Message in his mind, again from Stella:
"Hebona, the Lady of the Coven, lives still under the Cathedral of Gradska, and she is generous to the Coven’s friends."
The Message spell says that you (and only you) hear the message and can reply in a whisper that only Stella can hear.
To this, Rob wrote me a question for the voice in Barnaby's head, Jasper: "Is this Lady for real?" To which Jasper replied, "Yes, absolutely!" Rob then wrote a question for Stella, "Do you want me to heal him?" meaning Bullington. Stella replied "Yes!" Rob wrote, "I will turn on the party. But what do I get?" I replied to this with the last of my pre-typed messages:
Barnaby receives a Message in his mind, again from Stella:
"Gradska’s spirit is stirring. His true servants will rule Hollin. Join us."
The Message spell says that you (and only you) hear the message and can reply in a whisper that only Stella can hear.
Rob replied, "I will have to escape. How do I survive?" Stella replied, "I will turn you invisible," but then Rob told her, "Just keep them busy and I will escape."
