Session 62 - Fiery Arrival

by Jack

Arriving back in Seaquen, the Protectors of the Pass received news from Headmaster Simeon of the Lyceum. Intelligence suggested that the Torch of the Burning Sky might be located in Castle Korstull. A raging firestorm blocked any entrance to the castle for the Ragesians. However, the monk leader Three Weeping Ravens had a solution. The monk had an acquaintance at the Monastery of Two Winds, the monastery that rejected Winry. The monks who called the monastery home possessed an ability over the elemental wind. This ability may allow the Protectors to pass through the fire and flames to reach the torch.
 
With the aid of the Wayfarers leader Sheena Larkins, the allies plus Three Weeping Ravens teleported to the city of Yen-Ching in Ostalin. And they arrived wreathed in fire, thanks to the Burning Sky phenomenon. Captured by a teleportation pillar similar to what they found in the Sunken Prison, the Protectors arrived in Ostalin, meeting the military leader Fau Lu Pan. She escorted the party through the city, to meet with the leader of Ostalin, the Khagan Onamdammin.
 
While the Khagan was a bit strange, he had an offer for the party - win the affections of Pilas, the leader of the Monastery of the Two winds and personal friend of the Khagan's, and Ostalin would side with the Seaquen alliance in the war. Fail, and Ostalin would side with Ragesia. Taking their leave, the party rested, and made their way into the mountains the next day.
 
On their way, Three Weeping Ravens revealed that his people have been shunned wherever they have traveled because of their strange ability. Using stones infused with souls, the Order of Echoed Souls had the ability of Soul Tapping. This ability allowed some members of the order to experience the emotions and lived experiences of another person. While the Protectors chewed on this information, the monk reminded the party of their mission here - to find the adventuring party The Band of the Badger. The Band was sent by Seaquen to interface with the Monastery of Two Winds, and was never heard from again.
 
Trudging through the snow, the Protectors of the Pass continued into the mountains of Winry's home, and toward the mysterious monastery.
