Intervention: Session 17

In Session 17, the Heroes make their final preparations.

Plot
The group makes camp in the Frostback Mountains. Naythen updates Gwenhaël through his dreams. The repairs to the Tempest Dream have gone well, and he had been contacted by Morrigan. According to her the pox is the result of a plague demon, one that was also responsible for the Fifth Blight. Gwenhaël explains that the demon in question is Justiel.

The next day, the Tempest Dream picks up the group. Maximilian bluntly explains to Maelstrom that Delwyn is the cause of the pox, and that every time he summons Justiel another falls to the disease. To the relief of everyone, the victim from the summoning during the Battle of the Tempest Dream is only one of the ship's cattle.

Maelstrom promises to bring the group to Kirkwall but says it is up to the crew whether or not Delwyn will be allowed aboard the ship. Archer, Naythen, and others vote to leave Delwyn behind. Plimm, Lyeldan, Maximilian, Jodie, Gwenhaël, Vic, Cogs, and a slight majority vote for Delwyn to stay. He is kept apart from the others during the trip.

Gwenhaël and Delwyn reaffirm their feelings toward each other. Maelstrom and Lyeldan bond as she returns the pendant to him.

Back in Kirkwall, Caen informs everyone that he is holding a grand ball to celebrate the upcoming end of the blight. He also agrees to provide the group with an arcane circle for the time ritual. The crew holds a small service for Dragnar. Liam's body is given to the Chantry. Connor leaves a carving of the chantry sunburst with Liam's body.

The grand ball is held. There, Gwenhaël's mother appears. Archer confronts her, but forgives her in the end. Plimm sees his ex-wife and tells Maximilian about his past. Delwyn and Sunia reunite with their mother. Caen spots Nemetos in Lyeldan's possession, disguised as a cane. He also tries to worm his way into following the group through time, but they shut him out.

Outside, everyone hears a panicked crowd as the Archdemon makes its appearance.
