Gyaron
Rugged Bastion Amidst Roaring Waves
Gyaron, an island fortress in the Pacuran Archipelago, stands as a bastion against the relentless assault of the sea. Rugged cliffs and turbulent waves create an imposing barrier, deterring all but the most determined visitors. Its Stormblood, once a fierce warlord, rules with an iron grip, ensuring loyalty through a formidable standing army and control over the vital maritime trade routes.
As the sun sets, the silhouette of Gyaron against the horizon evokes both awe and fear. The island's unforgiving terrain and imposing Stormblood paint a picture of strength, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to protect its interests amidst the tumultuous waters of Pacura.
Aggressive fighters.
Gyaron is an island province of Pacura, known for its rugged terrain and skilled fighters. The island is divided into two main regions, with the capital city of Vinheiravir located on the southern edge, and a small religious village named Dias located in the north. The island is home to a diverse population, including Doth Kai, Pacuran, Yergralffe, Wyndan and Vohkin ethnicities. The people of Gyaron are known for their expertise in construction and are often called upon to work on projects throughout Pacura. The island is also home to a multi-tiered prison system known as the Pit, which is run by pit bosses and guarded by a large yuan ti pureblood named Minos. The mountainous island is also home to a group of bone ogres led by the powerful pyromancer Pyrus, who rules the volcanic mountains. Despite the challenges of its unforgiving landscape, the people of Gyaron are fiercely independent and fiercely loyal to their island home.

Gyaron is an unforgiving landscape with large black rocks and active volcanoes, not the island getaway of its neighbors.
Tayne rules the island except for the Pit.
Gyaron Wardens roam the island as a policing unit.
The pit is older than Pacura and this island was raised by Sootha around the old prison.
The pit is run by pit bosses, magically ageless monsters who govern the 10 levels of the Pit.
There are temples to explore and volcanic caves.
A brimstone giant named hephaestus occasionally rains fire down on Gyaron.
They have built their houses using magical metal that was crafted by the wardens of old.
Tribal magic is used by the Stewards of Gyaron. They focus on elemental fire magic.
Bone Ogres are cause for concern. They are marauders.
The bone ogres are lead by an ogre named Pyrus. He is a unique exception to the brutality of his race, he is cunning and a powerful pyromancer.
Pyrus rules the volcanic mountains, he traveled from Hearthen as a boy and became chieftain of his followers by age 12.
Tayne rules the people and the lowlands. He is an honorable fighter that upholds his law as well as shepherding incoming criminals into the Pit.
The pit is governed by an unknown entity but the entrance is guarded by a large yuan ti pureblood named Minos who has telepathy. He judges those sent before the court on whether they have broken the rules of their land. He rarely ever turns away even innocents because even if they did not commit the crime they were charged with, Minos can usually find something they are guilty for.
Pyrus, Tayne and Minos are not friendly but have an ongoing alliance to not interfere in each others business.
Pyrus is so well trained in magic is because he travelled to the mainland as a boy on a slaver ship. He was sold to the Seekers decades ago, began training but for some reason was allowed to leave for his renounced family. Remus trained Pyrus.
The seekers are staying in the mountains with the bone ogre tribe as they search for Flints journal entries to find the whereabouts of the philactery.
Tayne has three young children with his Yergralffe wife Brunehild. Other islands might look down on him marrying an outsider but her has the trust of his people no matter his decision.

Henri is the InBestigator. • Bismuth wrap up. Solved the lava teeter totters. Fought Bismuth and solved the lead leaf trap. Camped out atop the hillsides.
Leave the mountains for the lowlands. A large wooden viking barricade with metal similar to the junk metal on the towers in Bismuth. Looking down the hill in front of you, you see a the winding road intersect with an opposite curved river, creating a helix structure end at the city gate. Each crossing has a stone carved bridge. Just before the city the road forks off to the northeast into the mountains. The city is circular in shape with a large space carved out of the middle, this is a Coliseum. The southern side is walled by water and jagged rocks. The house covered in metal only have thr protection on the northern side facing the mountain. The large wooden trunks are handcarved with animal totems climbing to the pointed tips, the base of most of those battlements are layered with the same junk metal. The seekers arrived a few days earlier, rumour is that Remus is friends with a warlord living in the mountain. Pyrus the Bone Ogre is a very powerful pyromancer who was a member of the Seekers. He left after his training which is quite rare. The theory goes that he was too volatile and his potential was too great for Remus to continue training him. He personally took Pyrus back to his family. They had a strong bond back then. In the years since, Pyrus has grown mad at the world and amassed a gathering of orcs in his volcanic outlook. Met a weapons shop owner who is racist towards elves. Blimbo. Meet weird man in purple who has a yellow eye who runs the magic forge. Gives triss and eventually moira a blue puck with the seekers logo. Meet Cap who has sailed Paul around. He wagers his Thunderbird on a beast battle. Tayne relays that remus and his followers went up into the mountains to meet his old protege Pyrus. Sossori wins beast battle.
Tayne cannot not get someone into the pit, you must be charged with a crime to get through the front gate. Only a very powerful wizard could break the seal to allow you to enter and potentially leave. This ancient metal is sacred to the people of Gyaron and the way to craft it has been lost to the ages. This metal is impervious to the hot lava that falls from the volcanoes. Tayne and his Yergralffe wife Valda have 3 very young children. A 4 year old daughter named Brunhild and two twin boys age 2. Ichee and Tumble Sossori tried to hit on Valda, divides up some of the loot and reward from winning the beast fight. She also puts on a strange blue silk scarf as a ninja mask. Found burned buidling later learned that Pyrus destroyed it in a raid, he can melt the lava resistant metal on the houses. Blimbo plays the violin in secret, will finish Henri's blunderbuss by the next morning. The Clothesarium wouldnt buy adams old clothes but sold him new fancy duds met the conspiracy theorist working at the Gyaron Gazette who thinks Tayne is a lizard man. He is also looking for information on the Shipyard Strangler who has killed 6 (later found out to be much more) around town for the last few months. Sossori visited the potion master Greck, a rock gnome. He liked his business and wanted to invest, during his searching around he found a shipping container from the Knackle Brothers. Greck was annoyed that his shipments were late, Henri convinced him that the serial killer must have killed them. Sossori invest 1000gp in Grek's business so he could by a boat and hire a crew to keep his business going and to ultimately make it cheaper to not outsource shipping. During this conversation, Henri tells Sossori what happened to Chris and then that leads to Sossori also questioning the dissapearance of Snerz. Henri told her he died at the battle on Milos. They cried together in the middle of the street. Everyone met back up at teh tavern while a pyromancing orc cooked them food. A sombre Blimbo revealed that his wife was murdered shortly after Henri left. The Wardens told him ot find somewhere else to stay while they investigate the crime. He is heading to Diaz to stay with his brother. He hands Henri his Bayonet Launching Blunderbuss as he wanted to finish all his ongoing orders before he left the city. Triss attuned to her venom dagger. She then talked with the chef. He revealed that Pyrus is a very powerful unhinged mage. He has a following of people that respect him for his power. The chef saw a lot of seekers here a few days before but what they didnt know was that high ranking members of the triade were here not long before that to arrange a partnership with Pyrus. He also revealed that there have been many more than the 6 murders, the serial killer has been killing folk for months and leaves them in the open, the killer seemingly knows the guard routes. You see Tayne's 3 kids causing ruckus in the bar, Brunhild, Itchee and Tumble. Triss goes to speak to Tayne, who happened to be leaving his house to get his runaway kids when Triss met him at the gate, the kids all scampered by. Triss parlayed with Tayne in hopes of getting access tot he Pit. Tayne says he has no dominion over the Pit, he can only get you in the first gate. End of session thoughts Sossori - Find out about Snrez, hurt by his death, Sossori change (rebirth), Greck business plan. Henri - happy to gets all the guns, boom boom, sad for blimbo, magicov cocktails, mess with gazette, finds him funny. Triss - i need to convince moira and arygos to catch a killer. catch the killer or give tayne information to get into first layer of the Pit. Triss talked to tayne and has a propostion.
Tayne cannot not get someone into the pit, you must be charged with a crime to get through the first level but Tayne could get you that far if you helped. Once the igneous rock has cooled then the people mine that material to build their city. serial killer hunt for tayne to get access into the first level of the pit. The team wakes up and enjoys breakfast together as Triss explains her plan to Moira. Catch the serial killer running amok and Tayne will get you into the first layer of the Pit. Moira scams Ikibad and learns what the Forge does. Ikibad dubs his last name Magicko so the Seekers will think he is of higher born lineage. He magically forges Moira some items. Met Reverand Archibald and he worshipped Sosarri after learning her patron deity is Shoreez, the Sky Goddess. Archibald looked at the stone carving Sossari did on the aquaduct statue and began carving other wooden representations of his deity to look like Sossari. Triss met Dex who was another half elf. He didn't have that green of skin but his ears were indistinguishable. He had a great conversation with Triss as he is studying ancient runes around the island. He had a very noticably charasmatic smile. Also in the church was an orc warden named Gorbashav. He eyed up the two outsiders Triss and Sossari. He had a white spider-web tattoo over his left eye. Blimbo was in the church as well, he lied about going to his brothers house in Dias. Reported findings to Tayne around noon, he was concerned why Blimbo did not leave. Blimbo is the number one suspect in his wife's slaying. Went to his house, Blimbo's wife was killed in the soundproof room where Blimbo played his violin. The killer kicked the door open from the inside. The shoe print was fairly small, seemingly much smaller than Blimbo's. Out back you find a shimmy from a thieves kit hiding in the grass. Caught Nikolaus the Pitboss of the Casino stealing from the register, you arrested him and searched his pockets. He had thieves tools missing the shimmy. He admitted to trying to steal from the blacksmith a few days earlier but the sounds of a dying bird scared him off. This was actually Blimbo playing his violin. His feet were much too large to match the murderer's footprint. He said he had suspicions og it being Ralf of the Gyaron Gazett because he had been reporting on murders before they were public knowledge. Moira did one last check upstairs where a skylight was pried open with a dagger. Ralf hinted Gorbashav was boasting about the heinous murders he discovered. The orc was excited about how the people were killed. Moira entertained his lizard man theory so Triss could take his boot to compare to shoe print at Blimbo's. On her way over the intimidating Gorbashav intercepted her as he was hanging around the crime scene. Triss went into the bookshop instead where she found a dead Gizomo. Triss looked around without disturbing the body and then left frightened, Gorboshav was waiting outside with a group of wardens. They arrested her as the Shipwreck Strangler. Moira cleared Ralf after he babbled on further by using a detect thoughts spell. Moira ran into Dex on her way to save Triss, he was weaving through the crowds watching Triss in handcuffs. Tayne interrogated and determined it was Triss. The argument of the shoe print fell through when Tayne pointed out that shoe size matched Triss. To prove her innocence Triss said she had correspondence with Reverand Archibald over the last few years. He had to mail letters to her address and he could prove she had been in Dias when the murders started. Tayne sent Gorbashav over to the Gizomo crime scene to investigate and lock down the scene. Moira used her Helm of Teleportation to get to crime scene of Gizomo first and find clues. Moira has Gizomo's notes on a serial killer pamphlet from the Gazette. Gorboshav entered and Moira switched on her invisibility after finding clues about the killer. A dagger pierced his back and it wasn't from a tall person. She was able to dance past the 3 guards while invisible. Tayne, 4 guards holding Triss and Moira met at the Church of Shoreez, where they found bloody wooden statues with carvings on the faces covered in blood. At the front altar, Archibald's head was crushed in and gray matter was spread on the pews. He was murdered minutes before due to his body heat. Tayne could not let Triss go but no longer believed it was her. Triss faints at the horror in front of her. Moira hookshots to the roof, Tayne handcuffs himself to Triss as she wakes up and they go searching through the city. Moira finds a hidden rosegold dagger with a gold blade within the tree of Shoreez. Triss and Tayne see Dex running along the Aquaduct. Moira chases after him and lightning whips Dex as he crosses the river. This surge of electricity knocks him out and scars his body from his feet to his chest. Tayne arrests him and clears Triss. Tayne informs you only a powerful wizard can get you past the first level of the pit and break the seal that would keep you there until your penance is done. He brings up the fact that Remus would be that wizard but he hasn't been heard from in days. A cart of dead Seekers arrives from a driverless carriage with a note from Pyrus, "A gift for Tayne." End of Session thoughts. Moira: might have to save remus, you have the mind ring, to get passed the yuan ti telepath judge, feel like have to go to to Pyrus and see what's up. Triss: holy shit, damn it it going to be more difficult. remus seems like the only way in and he needs saving. time stop pyrus.
You awaken in the morning to find out the Lord Borigan has began an occupation of Gyaron. Claiming that Tayne must release Borigan's fiancee from the Pit or face his wrath. Borigan is dressed in a sailor lieutenant uniform. He has two distinct bodyguards at his side. A slim silver armored Triton brandishing a khopesh as well as a large black armored gall guard covered head to toe in armor. The large brute carried a kinalite war hammer. The party spent some time at Ikibod Magiko's Forge creating items. Learned from Tayne that he isnt afraid of his cousin and wouldn't let the fiancee go even if he had the power. Only a very powerful wizard could break the seal of the Pit. Along the path the party runs into the badger who was dying with its veins turned purple. Moira recognizes this as Remus’ familiar. spied on the witch docter, snuck through the camp, that didnt work. battle with the witch doctor as reinforcement. saved teh baby owl griffons from Ictic's experiments. saw Pyrus talk to his captive. then he saw all teh carnage, distracting the guards, you freed Remus after revealing you were iona. Pyrus ignited the volcano and chased you with a laval snake. ran into a cliffface and jumped to not be burned. saw the Pit in the distance. saw Lord Thormund rallying his army hiddeen on the estern shore of the island. parent owl griffons saved you because you saved their babies. remus says he loved moira (iona) like a daughter. Thoughts Moira: dont want to get killed by remus, get back into the seekers? or manipulate into him into telling you about the philactery.kill pyrus, fuck that guy Triss: army bad, weve got remus thats good, he is dying thats bad. no idea next step. Henri:"what the fuck is going on with the wizards" these wizards be crazy, learn about tayne and borigan's finance, following these guys. im also happy im alive, ask about serial killer. Arygos: who the big motherfucker that borigan bodyguard and whats going on with borigans finace who is locked up in the pit. Sossari: confused with whats going on, trying her best to help where she can, as for current situation, why is thormund is here, who is old man, why is he captured, why is pyrus is mad, glad you didnt die.
Started at the base of the cliff with lava slowly streaming down the mountain. A frail Remus is being carried by Triss using her hill giant belt, still succumbing to the poison administered by the witch doctor Ictic. Arygos has a baby owl griffon who didn't leave with the adults. You walked through the forest north towards the Pit and began hearing the sound of the sea in the distance. 2 bearmit crabs attacked the party but Moira was in a hurry and teleported the party to the entrance of the Pit. Due to a lack of teleportation experience, Henri grew up upon landing on solid ground. He accidentally threw up on a bearmit crab who had pinched Henri's butt before the teleport. Henri succeeded in befriending the animal and offered it food. The party looked through their bags to find any leftovers. Moira dumped out her bag of holding to discover that the dead body of Oliver, Chris' missing brother, had been hidden with his bag. Before anyone could even react to this, the bearmit crab eviscerated the body and then happily looked up at Henri while covered in blood. As you planned how you were going to get into the prison, a ship of prisoners arrived with Dex being chained up, he winks at Moira. Thunderous footsteps could be heard as Lord Thormund marched his black and gold army towards the Pit. Moira gave Sossari her helm of teleportation so her and Henri could wait outside to break their friends out. They hide behind Darryl, the bearmit crab of Henri's who looks like a pile of rocks when in his shell. Remus was also hid behind the rocks. A dying Remus provides the people breaking in with silver ribbons that will allow them to escape without being hunted for eternity by the magical beings inside the Pit. Arygos uses his magic armor to disguise as a Warden while brandishing Moira's Everchanging Emblem to get passed the Gall brothers, two twin were bears guarding the first level. They gave Arygos a hard time as they eyed up Triss and Moira and made some lewd comments. The three enter the central tower and are greeted by a bellhop named Virgil. He is super pleasant and quirky but kicks prisoners in the shin when they speak to him. He takes the trio down to the second level where a large multi head snake named Minos has its body wrapped around a pillar. Dex has just been sentenced and sent to the lowest level of the Pit. Triss is judged to have lied to get her job as she had ulterior motives to help Dias. She was convicted of fraudulence and sent to the eighth level. Moira uses her mind ring to only allow Minks to read certain thoughts. She shows enough of her former life to be sent to the tenth level. This area is first those to betray a government, lord or guest. They know that Flint was sent down to the lowest level with Rai'Zyr for Treachery against his island of Typhon. On the 8th level Triss met a blind man who spoke in heavy salt speech. A jumble of pirate, Pacuran, hear hearthic and gibberish. The other inmates were scared of him. It is revealed that this man is the former captain of the Kraken and hero to the great rebellion, Captain Mortimer. Triss asked about her old mentor Moasis and Morty reveals he was killed about twice weeks before. Dragged into the cage of the beast who even the guards are scared of. That cage is in the lowest level. Moira enters the icy domain of the lowest level, there are shelters built from rock and ice by the inmates who weren't frozen under the ice as penance. She enters the most isolated hut next to a large jail cell with banners and letters hung from the bars. It was letters of hundreds of criminals pledging loyalty to the beast within the cage, many of the banners had the symbol of the triad and dubbed this prisoner the new leader of the magical faction. Inside the hut Moira met Olivier, a good looking man with a clean shave and a ruffled shirt. He spoke about how his old roommate in the Pit, Moasis, who knew a lot about Flint whom Moira was asking about. It is revealed that Olivier is actually Borigan's fiancee who was jailed for stealing documents from Tayne. This was all a ruse as Olivier's main mission was to get into the Pit to find the same letters the party has been searching for. Borigan was supposed to get him out months ago but now he fears his love has moved on from him. Arygos is riding the lift with Virgil who tells the phony guard that he has been doing this job for 3000 years and has aspirations to become the judge and take Minos’ position. After some questioning, Arygos determines that Flint was allowed on the top level for good behaviour and was eventually recruited by Lord Thresh to work below deck on the legendary Onyx Stallion. Virgil also mentions being scared of only one prisoner, the beast, who Virgil had to go feed. On separate levels, Moira and Olivier, Triss and Morty all hear explosions coming from the upper levels. Triss is livid about Moasis and storms off with Morty to the 10th level. They run into Virgil and Arygos heading down. Morty has clout with the guards and gets Triss access. Moira at this point gets some of the Flint letters Olivier has been tasked to receive with a promise to help get him out when the escape. Olivier agrees because he does not know of Lord Thormund will appreciate the missions Borigan is running behind his back. All the trio and their new acquaintances meet on the lowest level. Arygos and Triss go see the cage, Triss begins yelling at the beast to a low chuckle in response. He roof explodes as ballistas shoot chains down from the floor above. Black and gold clad men slide down as the party can see inmates running towards the lifts and climbing. The prison gates have been broken open by Thormund. The collapsed ceiling knocks large chunks of rock in front of the large jail cell. Everyone piles into the lift as a loud thud is heard from behind the door. A large dark elf kicks open the cage and shatters the rocks. This is Jericho the Dark Sun Elf, known as the beast and the new leader of the Triade.

Teleport to the outskirts of Gyaron and see the Gobsnapper docked behind the S.S. Tempest.

Found burned buidling later learned that Pyrus destroyed it in a raid, he can melt the lava resistant metal on the houses. Blimbo plays the violin in secret, will finish Henri's blunderbuss by the next morning. The Clothesarium wouldnt buy adams old clothes but sold him new fancy duds met the conspiracy theorist working at the Gyaron Gazette who thinks Tayne is a lizard man. He is also looking for information on the Shipyard Strangler who has killed 6 (later found out to be much more) around town for the last few months. Sossori visited the potion master Greck, a rock gnome. He liked his business and wanted to invest, during his searching around he found a shipping container from the Knackle Brothers. Greck was annoyed that his shipments were late, Henri convinced him that the serial killer must have killed them. Sossori invest 1000gp in Grek's business so he could by a boat and hire a crew to keep his business going and to ultimately make it cheaper to not outsource shipping. During this conversation, Henri tells Sossori what happened to Chris and then that leads to Sossori also questioning the dissapearance of Snerz. Henri told her he died at the battle on Milos. They cried together in the middle of the street. Everyone met back up at teh tavern while a pyromancing orc cooked them food. A sombre Blimbo revealed that his wife was murdered shortly after Henri left. The Wardens told him ot find somewhere else to stay while they investigate the crime. He is heading to Diaz to stay with his brother. He hands Henri his Bayonet Launching Blunderbuss as he wanted to finish all his ongoing orders before he left the city. Triss attuned to her venom dagger. She then talked with the chef. He revealed that Pyrus is a very powerful unhinged mage. He has a following of people that respect him for his power. The chef saw a lot of seekers here a few days before but what they didnt know was that high ranking members of the triade were here not long before that to arrange a partnership with Pyrus. He also revealed that there have been many more than the 6 murders, the serial killer has been killing folk for months and leaves them in the open, the killer seemingly knows the guard routes. You see Tayne's 3 kids causing ruckus in the bar, Brunhild, Itchee and Tumble. Triss goes to speak to Tayne, who happened to be leaving his house to get his runaway kids when Triss met him at the gate, the kids all scampered by. Triss parlayed with Tayne in hopes of getting access tot he Pit. Tayne says he has no dominion over the Pit, he can only get you in the first gate. End of session thoughts Sossori - Find out about Snrez, hurt by his death, Sossori change (rebirth), Greck business plan. Henri - happy to gets all the guns, boom boom, sad for blimbo, magicov cocktails, mess with gazette, finds him funny. Triss - i need to convince moira and arygos to catch a killer. catch the killer or give tayne information to get into first layer of the Pit. Triss talked to tayne and has a propostion.
Tayne cannot not get someone into the pit, you must be charged with a crime to get through the first level but Tayne could get you that far if you helped. Once the igneous rock has cooled then the people mine that material to build their city. serial killer hunt for tayne to get access into the first level of the pit. The team wakes up and enjoys breakfast together as Triss explains her plan to Moira. Catch the serial killer running amok and Tayne will get you into the first layer of the Pit. Moira scams Ikibad and learns what the Forge does. Ikibad dubs his last name Magicko so the Seekers will think he is of higher born lineage. He magically forges Moira some items. Met Reverand Archibald and he worshipped Sosarri after learning her patron deity is Shoreez, the Sky Goddess. Archibald looked at the stone carving Sossari did on the aquaduct statue and began carving other wooden representations of his deity to look like Sossari. Triss met Dex who was another half elf. He didn't have that green of skin but his ears were indistinguishable. He had a great conversation with Triss as he is studying ancient runes around the island. He had a very noticably charasmatic smile. Also in the church was an orc warden named Gorbashav. He eyed up the two outsiders Triss and Sossari. He had a white spider-web tattoo over his left eye. Blimbo was in the church as well, he lied about going to his brothers house in Dias. Reported findings to Tayne around noon, he was concerned why Blimbo did not leave. Blimbo is the number one suspect in his wife's slaying. Went to his house, Blimbo's wife was killed in the soundproof room where Blimbo played his violin. The killer kicked the door open from the inside. The shoe print was fairly small, seemingly much smaller than Blimbo's. Out back you find a shimmy from a thieves kit hiding in the grass. Caught Nikolaus the Pitboss of the Casino stealing from the register, you arrested him and searched his pockets. He had thieves tools missing the shimmy. He admitted to trying to steal from the blacksmith a few days earlier but the sounds of a dying bird scared him off. This was actually Blimbo playing his violin. His feet were much too large to match the murderer's footprint. He said he had suspicions og it being Ralf of the Gyaron Gazett because he had been reporting on murders before they were public knowledge. Moira did one last check upstairs where a skylight was pried open with a dagger. Ralf hinted Gorbashav was boasting about the heinous murders he discovered. The orc was excited about how the people were killed. Moira entertained his lizard man theory so Triss could take his boot to compare to shoe print at Blimbo's. On her way over the intimidating Gorbashav intercepted her as he was hanging around the crime scene. Triss went into the bookshop instead where she found a dead Gizomo. Triss looked around without disturbing the body and then left frightened, Gorboshav was waiting outside with a group of wardens. They arrested her as the Shipwreck Strangler. Moira cleared Ralf after he babbled on further by using a detect thoughts spell. Moira ran into Dex on her way to save Triss, he was weaving through the crowds watching Triss in handcuffs. Tayne interrogated and determined it was Triss. The argument of the shoe print fell through when Tayne pointed out that shoe size matched Triss. To prove her innocence Triss said she had correspondence with Reverand Archibald over the last few years. He had to mail letters to her address and he could prove she had been in Dias when the murders started. Tayne sent Gorbashav over to the Gizomo crime scene to investigate and lock down the scene. Moira used her Helm of Teleportation to get to crime scene of Gizomo first and find clues. Moira has Gizomo's notes on a serial killer pamphlet from the Gazette. Gorboshav entered and Moira switched on her invisibility after finding clues about the killer. A dagger pierced his back and it wasn't from a tall person. She was able to dance past the 3 guards while invisible. Tayne, 4 guards holding Triss and Moira met at the Church of Shoreez, where they found bloody wooden statues with carvings on the faces covered in blood. At the front altar, Archibald's head was crushed in and gray matter was spread on the pews. He was murdered minutes before due to his body heat. Tayne could not let Triss go but no longer believed it was her. Triss faints at the horror in front of her. Moira hookshots to the roof, Tayne handcuffs himself to Triss as she wakes up and they go searching through the city. Moira finds a hidden rosegold dagger with a gold blade within the tree of Shoreez. Triss and Tayne see Dex running along the Aquaduct. Moira chases after him and lightning whips Dex as he crosses the river. This surge of electricity knocks him out and scars his body from his feet to his chest. Tayne arrests him and clears Triss. Tayne informs you only a powerful wizard can get you past the first level of the pit and break the seal that would keep you there until your penance is done. He brings up the fact that Remus would be that wizard but he hasn't been heard from in days. A cart of dead Seekers arrives from a driverless carriage with a note from Pyrus, "A gift for Tayne." End of Session thoughts. Moira: might have to save remus, you have the mind ring, to get passed the yuan ti telepath judge, feel like have to go to to Pyrus and see what's up. Triss: holy shit, damn it it going to be more difficult. remus seems like the only way in and he needs saving. time stop pyrus.
You awaken in the morning to find out the Lord Borigan has began an occupation of Gyaron. Claiming that Tayne must release Borigan's fiancee from the Pit or face his wrath. Borigan is dressed in a sailor lieutenant uniform. He has two distinct bodyguards at his side. A slim silver armored Triton brandishing a khopesh as well as a large black armored gall guard covered head to toe in armor. The large brute carried a kinalite war hammer. The party spent some time at Ikibod Magiko's Forge creating items. Learned from Tayne that he isnt afraid of his cousin and wouldn't let the fiancee go even if he had the power. Only a very powerful wizard could break the seal of the Pit. Along the path the party runs into the badger who was dying with its veins turned purple. Moira recognizes this as Remus’ familiar. spied on the witch docter, snuck through the camp, that didnt work. battle with the witch doctor as reinforcement. saved teh baby owl griffons from Ictic's experiments. saw Pyrus talk to his captive. then he saw all teh carnage, distracting the guards, you freed Remus after revealing you were iona. Pyrus ignited the volcano and chased you with a laval snake. ran into a cliffface and jumped to not be burned. saw the Pit in the distance. saw Lord Thormund rallying his army hiddeen on the estern shore of the island. parent owl griffons saved you because you saved their babies. remus says he loved moira (iona) like a daughter. Thoughts Moira: dont want to get killed by remus, get back into the seekers? or manipulate into him into telling you about the philactery.kill pyrus, fuck that guy Triss: army bad, weve got remus thats good, he is dying thats bad. no idea next step. Henri:"what the fuck is going on with the wizards" these wizards be crazy, learn about tayne and borigan's finance, following these guys. im also happy im alive, ask about serial killer. Arygos: who the big motherfucker that borigan bodyguard and whats going on with borigans finace who is locked up in the pit. Sossari: confused with whats going on, trying her best to help where she can, as for current situation, why is thormund is here, who is old man, why is he captured, why is pyrus is mad, glad you didnt die.
Started at the base of the cliff with lava slowly streaming down the mountain. A frail Remus is being carried by Triss using her hill giant belt, still succumbing to the poison administered by the witch doctor Ictic. Arygos has a baby owl griffon who didn't leave with the adults. You walked through the forest north towards the Pit and began hearing the sound of the sea in the distance. 2 bearmit crabs attacked the party but Moira was in a hurry and teleported the party to the entrance of the Pit. Due to a lack of teleportation experience, Henri grew up upon landing on solid ground. He accidentally threw up on a bearmit crab who had pinched Henri's butt before the teleport. Henri succeeded in befriending the animal and offered it food. The party looked through their bags to find any leftovers. Moira dumped out her bag of holding to discover that the dead body of Oliver, Chris' missing brother, had been hidden with his bag. Before anyone could even react to this, the bearmit crab eviscerated the body and then happily looked up at Henri while covered in blood. As you planned how you were going to get into the prison, a ship of prisoners arrived with Dex being chained up, he winks at Moira. Thunderous footsteps could be heard as Lord Thormund marched his black and gold army towards the Pit. Moira gave Sossari her helm of teleportation so her and Henri could wait outside to break their friends out. They hide behind Darryl, the bearmit crab of Henri's who looks like a pile of rocks when in his shell. Remus was also hid behind the rocks. A dying Remus provides the people breaking in with silver ribbons that will allow them to escape without being hunted for eternity by the magical beings inside the Pit. Arygos uses his magic armor to disguise as a Warden while brandishing Moira's Everchanging Emblem to get passed the Gall brothers, two twin were bears guarding the first level. They gave Arygos a hard time as they eyed up Triss and Moira and made some lewd comments. The three enter the central tower and are greeted by a bellhop named Virgil. He is super pleasant and quirky but kicks prisoners in the shin when they speak to him. He takes the trio down to the second level where a large multi head snake named Minos has its body wrapped around a pillar. Dex has just been sentenced and sent to the lowest level of the Pit. Triss is judged to have lied to get her job as she had ulterior motives to help Dias. She was convicted of fraudulence and sent to the eighth level. Moira uses her mind ring to only allow Minks to read certain thoughts. She shows enough of her former life to be sent to the tenth level. This area is first those to betray a government, lord or guest. They know that Flint was sent down to the lowest level with Rai'Zyr for Treachery against his island of Typhon. On the 8th level Triss met a blind man who spoke in heavy salt speech. A jumble of pirate, Pacuran, hear hearthic and gibberish. The other inmates were scared of him. It is revealed that this man is the former captain of the Kraken and hero to the great rebellion, Captain Mortimer. Triss asked about her old mentor Moasis and Morty reveals he was killed about twice weeks before. Dragged into the cage of the beast who even the guards are scared of. That cage is in the lowest level. Moira enters the icy domain of the lowest level, there are shelters built from rock and ice by the inmates who weren't frozen under the ice as penance. She enters the most isolated hut next to a large jail cell with banners and letters hung from the bars. It was letters of hundreds of criminals pledging loyalty to the beast within the cage, many of the banners had the symbol of the triad and dubbed this prisoner the new leader of the magical faction. Inside the hut Moira met Olivier, a good looking man with a clean shave and a ruffled shirt. He spoke about how his old roommate in the Pit, Moasis, who knew a lot about Flint whom Moira was asking about. It is revealed that Olivier is actually Borigan's fiancee who was jailed for stealing documents from Tayne. This was all a ruse as Olivier's main mission was to get into the Pit to find the same letters the party has been searching for. Borigan was supposed to get him out months ago but now he fears his love has moved on from him. Arygos is riding the lift with Virgil who tells the phony guard that he has been doing this job for 3000 years and has aspirations to become the judge and take Minos’ position. After some questioning, Arygos determines that Flint was allowed on the top level for good behaviour and was eventually recruited by Lord Thresh to work below deck on the legendary Onyx Stallion. Virgil also mentions being scared of only one prisoner, the beast, who Virgil had to go feed. On separate levels, Moira and Olivier, Triss and Morty all hear explosions coming from the upper levels. Triss is livid about Moasis and storms off with Morty to the 10th level. They run into Virgil and Arygos heading down. Morty has clout with the guards and gets Triss access. Moira at this point gets some of the Flint letters Olivier has been tasked to receive with a promise to help get him out when the escape. Olivier agrees because he does not know of Lord Thormund will appreciate the missions Borigan is running behind his back. All the trio and their new acquaintances meet on the lowest level. Arygos and Triss go see the cage, Triss begins yelling at the beast to a low chuckle in response. He roof explodes as ballistas shoot chains down from the floor above. Black and gold clad men slide down as the party can see inmates running towards the lifts and climbing. The prison gates have been broken open by Thormund. The collapsed ceiling knocks large chunks of rock in front of the large jail cell. Everyone piles into the lift as a loud thud is heard from behind the door. A large dark elf kicks open the cage and shatters the rocks. This is Jericho the Dark Sun Elf, known as the beast and the new leader of the Triade.
