Gertie is The Collector, a Neutral Evil Power Nine deity associated with acquisition, preservation, possession, and the Vault Beyond Counting. The prior Djeebus event notes in this cell were cross-row contamination and belonged to Djeebus, not Gertie. Post-session Power Nine holiday brainstorming tentatively linked Gertie possibly to Easter, but that remains meta-planning unless later confirmed in play.
The chapel loot and diaries connect the dead necromancer to Mortellus Vayne, Aria Vayne, Gertie, the Duskborn scroll, and Havyk.
storyAfter the session, the group discussed Power Nine holidays and lore retcons: Vithyrex tied to Valentine’s Day, Sister Treants to Arbor Day, Krampus to Christmas, Trixie to Halloween, Ewig to Juneteenth, Aboleth to Memorial Day, Djeebus to Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras, Gertie possibly to Easter, and Emrys still undecided.
storyThe party breaks Gertie's haunted wedding-house illusion, reaches the true forge entrance, and buries Nick Kremp outside it.
storyAuric leads the party through a portal into a time-shifted version of Gertie's Forge, where they learn about K'Zhara's hidden tunnel.
storyThe party completes the final stages of Kaos's chaos maze, breaking its immediate supernatural hold over Point Pringle.
storyInside Gertie's chaos mirror maze, Maine sees Enemy crush a Lawful-aligned MAI subject before the mirror breaks to reveal a blue portal.
storyThe blue portal leads to a distorted banquet where Jeff and Solar are hags in disguise, Morgan is trapped in a cannibal dinner trance, and Darius joins the scene.
storyMorgan breaks free of the cannibal trance, only for Gertie to mock him through the red mirror and give him a dead Staff of Necromancy.
storyDhaz opens the chest and finds fine clothes, a small bottle, an iron key, and a Draconic book titled The Alignment of Jericha: The Power Nine.
storyThe party finds the Blue-Haired Girl and the Soulfire Scythe at the Necromancer's Chapel while Gertie's Collector network escalates.
storyTarria joins the Pink Pony Girls as a commune tea ceremony turns into mass blinding, Havyk gains the Mantle of the Medusa, and Calithea warns that the hags are pleased.
storyThe masquerade at Queef Manor turns catastrophic: Nick becomes a vampire, Rice Hands dies, and the Von Queef/VQU political threads deepen.
itemFound with Blue-Haired Girl in the Necromancer's Chapel sequence and tied to Dallas Dalton. Exact attack, soulfire, pact, or necromancy effects still need confirmation.
itemA vibrating locket drawn to Maine's metal arm. It is engraved 'To Tono, Love PP5,' holds a picture of Tono with PP5, and hides a blood-written message that helped Maine break through Gertie's illusion.
