Republic Group Session II Report

General Summary

On their way to the mainland of the Lolos Republic from Kagawa island, the Republic Group is attacked by a group of Chuul. The monsters rise out of the ocean and begin to target Illuamor specifically, and try to steal the crystal Amarus gave him that can light up when a piece of the Crown of Truth is close by. With the help of Tadashi, a bounty hunter named Estrella, and Captain Anya, the party manages to fend off the Chuul.

After the battle with the Chuul is over, Captain Anya puts the ship back on course to the mainland of the Lolos Republic. Three days pass before the Republic Group finally docks at the Port of Chujing.
Captain Anya thanks them for their help with fighting off the Chuul, and remarks on how odd an occurrence it was finding such monsters is in the ocean here. In all her 110 years, she never had any sort of Chuul attack the ship.
Illuamor sees a halo appear over Estrella's head that marks her as another destined party member and tries to talk her into joining. She says she'll think about it if they buy her a drink, and tentatively joins.
The party eventually disboards the ship and follows Tadashi outside of the city to meet his "pen pal" who can take them to their next destination. The "pen pal" turns out to be Giant Sandworm that swallows them whole.

It takes 12 hours for the party to travel to Glantry, the Last City of Lindworm, in the stomach of a Giant Sandworm also known as Tadashi's pen pal. The Sandworm spits them out on a mountain not far from Glantry's main government building. The group has to work in pairs to pedal mini airships up the mountain onto where the main government building is perched.

The Republic Group meets Gelure, the last of their destined companions chosen by Amarus to find the crown pieces. Gelure was summoned to Glantry ahead of time after the Lolos Republic's oracle recieved a revelation from Amarus about a group of people who could solve their problems. Gelure joins the party while waiting outside of the main government building for the council to begin their meeting.
The party talks to Amarus using the crystal he gave Illuamor, and they ask what he plans on doing with it. Amarus claims to want to destroy the Crown of Truth so that it can never fall into the wrong hands again--especially not Emperor Titus Cicero's of the Elysian Empire.
