This session was dedicated to battling the source of the Infection, and as such actual roleplay was limited. There were a handful of important/memorable moments, which have been recorded here:

Schnicktick did actually fight alongside the other members of Team 3.5, at one point knocking the dessicated king through the portal to Delirium… with the crown and the sword they were sent to collect on his person. There was a moment of rejoicing before Aine realized that. Fortunately, it walked back through the portal.

Aine, eager to see this threat crushed, bore the brunt of the Source’s ire. She was fully knocked out during the battle, and was brought back by Lath’s intervention.

Schnicktick shared moments with all four of Team 3.5: Aine brought him back from being knocked out the first time, Melanine escorted him out of harm's way… if only for a wolf to knock him down again, and Lemmy then saved Schnicktick from bleeding out a second time. Lath and Schnicktick shared perhaps the most electrifying moment, where the gnome and the drakeblood locked eyes and, on some fundamental level, became emotionally linked. Lath and/or Lath’s player seemed awfully emotionally attached to Schnicktick’s continuing good health.

Melanine, dealt the killing blow to the Source, who then, in a mad rage, threw the centaur warrior through the portal with his dying gasps. Throughout the battle, the Source spoke to Melanine in Feyspeak, calling him a traitor and asking him why the centaur would help “them”, and not his own people.
