Session 6 Overview

Mummies. That's the first thing you should know about this week. It was full of mummies. Not only did we get a phone call from Sadie Kane herself but also numerous SOS callings from all over the US. Topher began to pinpoint where all the mummy outbreaks were occurring and they seemed to be encircling, you guessed it, Austin Texas. Hollowers are the only people who can stop a mummy because greek magic won't work against Egyptian. The only problem was that the camp only had two hollowers, Topher and a CIT named Sofia, and way too many mummies. In order for a hollower to channel their magic they needed a wax tablet. The problem with this was that it had to be a special type of wax and the only place still in possession of the wax was the Stoll Brothers up in Long Island. So we were stuck here in Austin with only two hollowers until the wax got here on Hermes Air. By Wednesday we were down to one hollower after Topher's wax got used up so Sofia tried to fend off the mummies on Thursday until finally the wax got here and Topher was able to select new hollowers to train. The weeks quests were no different from what was happening back at the Dining hall, they were chalk full of mummies but now we had another enemy we had to face, Kidaleon.

Kidaleon started working with the league, or so we thought. Our main problem this week happened when he told us that he'd placed a bomb inside a box that contained 1/7th of Topher's animus and that if we didn't play his games, he'd blow up on Friday. Each day the questers had to make it back by a certain time limit or the box would explode a day earlier. Unfortunately Wednesday quest didn't make it back in time so the bomb's explosion date was moved up to Thursday. Instead of begging, we tried bargaining. Courtney was able to read a hammer out of the book and when we gave it to Kidaleon he got so emotional he revealed that there was never a bomb in the box the whole time. (Can you imagine our reaction?) Friday concluded with each group of questers managing to close a portal that let mummies into our world and the camp was safe for another week, or another two days because session 7 was another teen week and that sure attracts a lot of monsters.
