-As they chill in Charles'​ LA mansion (or rather, warm their bones in his hot tub), the door rings, and two cop-looking persons enter and begin asking threatening questions. We also christen Charles'​ LA room mates Brandy, Monica, and what'​s-her-name (or did we? Maybe they are all called Katana). Charles and Faith demand to see the police badges of the intruders, and they respond by starting a fight, pulling guns and later morphing into monstrous forms. ​+As they chill in Charles'​ LA mansion (or rather, warm their bones in his hot tub), the door rings, and two cop-looking persons enter and begin asking threatening questions.

 + 
 +There is Fight. Faith gets poisoned by chaos venom and draws a bizarre wall painting of a dragon and a unicorn. One of Charles'​ roomies gets mauled. 
 + 
 +They get to Latveria via Duke Weiland'​s trump. They ally with Weiland and his wizard, Arnulf, and head back to the Palace. On the way they pick up Donar and Gunther and learn that time is moving much faster in Latveria than it used to. 
 + 
 +They have bread with the king. 
 + 
 +They go down into the dungeons and there is a big fight with a rock troll. Charles kills it but loses his hand. He finds a crystal in the remains of the troll (aka, the **Jewel of Bad Judgement**). 
 + 
 +Faith goes up the northern tower into the sealed study of the [[Fiona|queen]],​ to study ancient and forbidden texts. 
 + 
 +Giselle comforts Charles. 
 + 
 +There is a hue and cry: The King has been Murdered! 
 + 
 +==== Session 19 - Long Live the King ==== 
 + 
 +The King's murder is investigated,​ and Faith assumes the crown. 
 + 
 +Charles takes the wine glasses of the barons to forensic examination on Earth. 
 + 
 +Charles is contacted by Benedict, who asks about his plans. 
 + 
 +Faith summons the ghost of his father to ask about the murder. 
 + 
 +Arnulf detects some ley-line anomaly, indicating the Black Road is reaching towards the base of the northern tower. 
 + 
 +Below the north tower, our heroes and their retinue find a familiar staircase and door (like those leading to the pattern in Tir and Rebma). The door is unlocked by an application of Charles'​ blood. 
 + 
 +Beyond the door is a huge cave, which Faith and Charles enter alone. 
 + 
 +They encounter a dragon, whose breath burns off their hair, clothes and gear (revealing Faith is a redhead, and sealing Charles'​ trump case). 
 + 
 +Beyond the dragon, they find a strange new pattern drawn on the cave floor. 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Session 20 - Pattern Says No ==== 
 + 
 +They examine the Pattern (Charles wants to walk it) and see it is made up of 3 distinct lines, each in a different style. The pattern is drawn in faint lines, like slowly moving magma beneath the glassy stone floor. When Charles attempts to step on the Pattern, he encounters extraordinary resistance, and is unable to do so. 
 + 
 +Charles rolls the Jewel of Misjudgement across the Pattern; it has been vibrating excitedly since drawing near the design, and bounces up and down as it crosses the design, eventually jumping up and exploding, but freezing in mid explosion, a burst of crystal fragments frozen over the pattern. 
 + 
 +They leave, go back to their rooms. Faith has a long talk with Fiona. Charles practices one-armed swordsman technique. He grows suspicious of Gunther, who seems to be moving differently. 
 + 
 +Faith summons Charles to him, and suggests he put on a black rose to edit away his memory of the
