Chapter 15: Session 11

The PCs locate two of the Jars containing Skullsneer's essence, and attempt first to find his Brain.

The PCs win past a series of traps and puzzles (using the blood of an innocent to find open the door inside), and locate the jar in an underwater chamber. They take the jar and trigger a trap of sorts -- a trap which swaps Rin's and Mitu's minds.

Oddly enough, the strange voice in Mitu's head that he calls Number 3 remains tied to Mitu's body -- conversing now with a startled, troubled Rin. Mitu suspects the voice comes from the demon bone armor, but even when the armor is removed, Number 3's voice continues speaking with Rin.

They know of only one accessible Shaman who may have enough power to reverse this strange effect of swapped minds. They head to Turwinton and speak to Tara. She drugs the pair and performs a series of rituals intended to tie the proper spirits back into one another.

However, she notes something else... Number 3. Three Minds, and Two Spirits (and one Soul). Number 3 turns out to a sharp spike of hematite imbedded subdermally in the small of Mitu's back. He is temporarily removed, and it is noted that he resonates faintly as some sort of spirit construct. It turns out that Braena, Mitu's Mother, embedded the stone in her baby as it was being born... hoping, it would seem, to guide and protect her son as much as it could.

With the issue of Number 3 still unresolved, Mitu and Rin's minds return once more to their proper homes after a protacted ritual.
