Session 2

Kythos wakes to find a lanky teen reading a scroll in the bed opposite
His name is Palayos
He speaks with a Meletian twang, and is from Dayda Harbour (a place where anything goes"
He is devoted to Atheros, Phasa
He greets Kythos with a "May the light be with you"
 
Kythos spent the night previous drinking with Hixus + their new friends
Xerkos and Phelosta were travellers they met in the Conglom, and were also good dancers
Phelosta seemed "interested" in Kythos, which later revealed that they both were
 
The Minotaur barmaid's name is Gnassa
 
Xerkos is in his late 30's with dark brown/black hair, braided ponytail, strings of blue woven into it
He is scantly dressed in a sash and short skirt combination
He has blue tattoos and his veins faintly glow blue aswell
He is married to Phelosta
 
Xerkos + Phelosta are looking for an oracle, and Khea didn't quite fit the bill
They are looking for Flamespeakers who are present on Mount Katachthon
They also encountered a "The Returned" en route from the South who matched the description of the same one Kythos fought
 
In the Flea Market, singing could be heard as a crowd was gathered round it
Three women in silk gowns spinning and circling in a Kaleidoscope style
Painting patterns on the floor with their feet, the abstract patterns grew in size as they danced
They're known as Sand Dancers
They typically perform for the first storm of the season
 
Hixus + Kythos go to visit Khea, the Oracle
Khea's house runs up and around the leg of the collosus with alcoves into it
 
Kallistos, is an elder of Akros
 
Khea, a woman with onyx black skin and clothes in a light green. Her eyes burnt out
The gold mask that was retrieved is Traxian
It contains a poem to Phenax, an incomplete cypher however half of which is missing
Varays was an oracle to Phenax in Akros, although has long passed. He resided in Tier 1 of the Colliphon, and was a fan of The Band of Five
Orestes was one of Phenax's earliest followers, buried in Mount Katachthon, the tomb of which contains Phenax's silence
 
The Court of Orestes is his resting place
"Gods are dangerous, the path is also, they are watching"
 
The vetting process for the Oromai was begun so that Hixus + Kythos could enter the Colliphon
Need to do something impressive to get name out about being the Champion of Iroas
 
Kythos + Hixus leave Akros to follow the Kistanos river upstream looking for the Court of Orestes
 
In the Catacon foothills, a rock outcropping that looks like a Satyr's face is found with water flowing out it's eyes and mouth to form a pool below
An omen of Pharika, a small shimmering snake, led Hixus + Kythos to the pool
Suspected to be the rumoured "Pool of Lys"
Drinking from the pool caused major nausea for both, as three winged harpies appeared and attacked "Akno, Jamp, Hakno"
Kythos + Hixus survived the fight and looted the area whilst resting
Inside one of the caves a carving told the Harpies story; They were followers of Kerenos, and wanted to be oracles. They learnt magic to prove their worth and in return were cursed to become Harpies
Collected the pool's water for Prokopius
 
As the journey continued, inbetween two hills an old, sick minotaur wearing a dark circlet was found
He claimed to be "Antagonis" a King of a Kingdom far to the East
Mogis had told him to travel out of his Kingdom
His son had not been worth to carry the claim of Heir, and Mogis "broke him"
Claimed that the next Heir would fit inside a large vase
King Antagonis was unfortunately insane and the circlet fake, only realised after a fight to the death
