Refugees of Time

I encountered a strange group today. A half-elf (who must be half-goliath as well) consumed with rage, An Earth Genasi in touch with nature, and a Vriski Shihe. Not only do they claim to have been on Iko Island, but they claim to have known and fought by Nicholas's side when he was killed. They describe him accurately, but seemed to think he died only yesterday, but were shocked when told Iko Island had disappeared five years ago. So what happened to them? Where did they go? They seem to be telling the truth about what they said.
 
The Vriski Shihe lived up to their reputation and spewed some infuriating nonsense. I mustn't let her ire me.
 
Gwyn wants it known that she caught and ate a large rat today while in a hut. She insists that it was a glorious hunt and beautiful swoop.
 
There was no hunt. I pointed out the rat to her. The swoop was lovely though.
