The Woman Who Took Wing

Depicted moment

During Session 1, the party confronted an unidentified robed woman in Rivalis’s evening market. After stabbing Rage and demanding that he follow her to Martira Bay, she transformed into a bat and fled. Rage wounded her in flight with a thrown handaxe while Carver’s crossbow shot missed.

The image treats the flight as a single clear instant immediately after the confrontation. The woman’s bat form and the precise stall arrangement are atmospheric interpretations rather than a claim that the party identified her nature.

Canonical status

• Canonical Session 1 flavor art.
• Rage, Carver, and Ignatius follow their canonical character references and established relative scale.
• The woman is depicted only in her witnessed bat form. Her identity, faction, and exact supernatural nature remain unresolved.
• Her wound is non-graphic visual staging of the documented hit by Rage’s thrown handaxe.

At twilight in Rivalis’s lantern-lit market, towering, bearded Rage stands wounded but upright with his single-headed greataxe. Carver aims a crossbow and Ignatius holds a guarded stance behind him as a large wounded bat flies away over market stalls. Startled townspeople scatter beneath the dusk sky.
