Shatterbrand's Story

All of you were imprisoned on a ship carrying criminals to the Pit, the prison of Pacura.

Exploring the island they found a statue to the sea goddess Sootha in a clearing. Cortez is almost killed by crocodiles and boars as the party opts not to help him. On the beach some of the party finds the decrepit body of Diggory's son, sacrificed at a driftwood sculpture resembling a terrifying version of the sea goddess. A fish eyed lady known later only as Eelisma swam away into the ocean. Sossarri found another pearl on the boy’s body.

Made it back to Eidon, informed Diggory, and went back to the clearing with 15 mud guards. Beat up some cultists and stopped some ritual drummers. Jumped into a fire portal to the underworld.

They were then attacked by a goblin pirate by the name of Captain Scruffybeard. After a short fight and snap of the captain's neck, the party took the ship and dubbed it the Gobsnapper. Cortez took this moment to flip off the party, not join them and take the Tortuga as his own. Had a goblin death match to decide who would stay on in their ship crew. Dickard and Martholomew won and stayed as shiphands.

Henri closed his eyes and tried to let his memories lead him. He met a lovely couple named Iggy and Azalea, Iggy once sailed for the Kyra on a Dhow ship but after his crew turned on him, he settled down to focus on his Delicious Iguana Jam. This was a disappointing discovery to the initials D.I.J carved into the Gobsnapper. You meet Quinn for the first time as she announces the public execution of Mart and Dikard. You distract them in time to save Dikard the goblin. Due to some evil machinations and lying to Captain Dublin, Iona accidentally caused the arrests of Two-Eyes and Boris. Christopher loots Boris’ shop and finds the Sword of the Seekers Boris was wearing Seeker garbs when he was taken down to the gallows. The two wizards were hung in front of the town. Iona had a kill order placed on her head by her old faction for her misdeeds

After some shenanigans (such as putting gunpowder in all the guards’ pockets) and finding your ship being upgraded in the auction yard, the party breaks their ship out of an auction yard with a ship builder by the name of Mako. During the battle Snerz got roped up on the docks. A drowning guard pushed a flaming barrel in front of the escaping Gobsnapper. Snerz picked up a cannonball and jumped into the water to neutralize the gunpowder. The remaining guards took aim on the Gobsnapper and aimed the mortars. As the ship was about to be fired upon, Snerz revealed that he had retained the teachings of Sossori and wild shaped his way into the hearts of the party. He was their best friend.

Rested at Mother Maggie's As they awoke the hurricane storm that started as they left Eidon was getting worse. A tsunami could be seen on the horizon. Mako ran off to find his mother who lived outside the village. You met Mother Maggie who fed you while the winds picked up. The Stormblood and his son, Magnus and Maximus helped seal people home from the storm with an ancient Pacuran rune. Magnus, the Stormblood of Hydri, sacrificed himself to seal the catacombs as the tsunami crashed into the city, saving the party and his son, Maximus. Rest in the gravekeepers room

You are sling-shotted by Maximus' ship, the Howling Porpoise through the gusts of the hurricane. The Gobsnapper is more or less wrecked but you make it through mostly intact, Henri lost an eye. You arrive to find the baby has been born and Eelisma was trying to transfer the sea goddess into the baby atop a black ivory tower in the centre of Milos. You learn how the sea goddess and Ocean King were in love, having 9 children centuries ago. As Sootha grew more crazed, Oceanus Tempest had to kill his wife. Unbeknownst to him, she was with child. Their 10th child became the grotesque Eelisma and she spent ages plotting how to bring her mother back. You have an honor fight with Tayne, Stormblood of Gyaron, which Sossori wins by turning into a bear and he concedes what he is doing is not honorable. He pulls his Viking horde from the battle. After an obelisk puzzle and a battle atop the spire, the party embarrasses Lord Thormund using a charm spell. A Zephyr soldier takes the baby in a carriage and rides for the docks.. Moira needed to finish her pact or her soul would be lost for eternity, Moira kills Snerz as the battle with Eelisma nears its end. He still thought of the group as his best friends and family. Henri kills Eelisma as Sossori and Chris race to retrieve the baby girl. Using some wild shape trickery, Sossori as a jaguar with Chris on her back take out the carriage and save the baby. They jump on the nearest ship which is the legendary Blackfly, the brig of Lord Thormund. All of this death caused Sossori’s body to begin to dissipate. She fell to the ground as Chris tried to steer the ship to protect the baby. Sossori was plucked back into the heavens by her Goddess Danara. Danara being the patron deity of motherhood rewarded Sossori for her actions. The goddess gifted the group with some boons to help them in her absence. As a last ditch effort, the remaining energy of Sootha called upon a Leviathan to attack the Blackfly. Christopher had the baby as he watched Sossori begin to turn into blue dust. As the monster neared the ship, Sossori sacrificed herself and jumped into the leviathan’s mouth. She exploded in magical energy causing severe damage to the beast. She drifted up in the god's realm. Essence energy surged through him as Sossori gifted Christopher with a potion of giantblood. A 50 ft. Chris took down the whale like monster in a fist fight that shook the ocean. Through the power of Sossori's death, Henri and Moira were teleported onto the Blackfly. Max sailed by with his fiancée alongside him and took his daughter. He sailed off saying the mutiny will stay strong and take the islands back from Thormund and Borigan. The sun sets as you see an armada of large, Zephyrn ships sailing towards you from the horizon.

You outran the Zephyrn fleet and got a new team member from Tayne, he decided that this dragonborn named Arygos was most likely innocent of his crime. You defeated the Fearful Trident ship and escaped through the narrow rivers of a nearby swampy island.

The party made its way into town after seeing an inebriated group of townsfolk drunkenly skinny dip on their watch that night. As you made your way into the city you were greeted by a multicultural marketplace with many wares and good from foreign lands. You spent a good time conversing with Borno the Mine Dwarf blacksmith. He was also an aspiring artist who made his own trading cards. You split up as some of you visited the former High Guard soldier Grai Cross selling weapons, one of you went to Sol the Blacksun elf who ran the Arcanian Bookshop and one of you got nowhere with the Yergralffe fur trader because you tried to trade him Borno cards. Merdock the happy go lucky mayor of this settlement greets you. He explains how this town is for the workers at the lumber mill in the river. Also it works as a staging point for planned supply drops out of the swamp. Merdock is bold in saying that he hates Zephyr and Typhon and actively aims to undermine their bullying control. Before you know it, a Zephyrn ambush occurs and Merdock gets stabbed while the other townsfolk are attacked. You helped defend them off with the heroic help of Borno who sadly fell to a raider’s blade. After you dealt with half the invasion the cavalry arrived with the mighty ship The Kraken. It is captained by a grim man named Ivan. All of you quickly dispatch the rest of the attackers as Ivan drags two barely alive assailants into the war room. Merdock clutching his stab wound pulls another raider. They invite you in. As they tie the guards up, Ivan turns to you and offers you a job. He needs paid muscle on his next supply drop in Kinaros. Then he will drop you off wherever you need to go.

On the horizon after a long rest you see a Zephyrn blockade circling Kinaros. While aboard the Kraken you defeated one of the blockade ships that Ivan sent a warning shot at. You fought a battle against some Zephyrn Sailors, Sparrow and Condor, Ivan’s twin sons assisted in the fight as Dove, their sister captained her father’s ship. You won and sailed towards the blockade. Ivan loaded you guys up into a steel encased room at the front of the ship. He ignited a wick and you shot out like a torpedo towards the shore. Dove steered the ship away and pulled members of the blockade with her. You hide from some guards and then explore town. Ivan goes incognito and tells you to meet him at sunset.

You fight a patrol of Zephyr guards and Blacksun Elf spies at the campground where you landed on the islands. Ivan awaits the supply drop as his son Sparrow rows the boat all the way from deep water. A signal is sent out from one of the cottages and the blockade is warned. The Zephyr ship launches a fireball, destroying homes and people as well as setting the supplies and Sparrow ablaze. Moira find a cypher on the dark elves and learns some secret information Chris and Ivan swim out to the oil burning water to save Ivan’s son, both receiving burn damage as they do.

Met a recovering Sparrow in the morning, he said his father headed into Fishrot Hollow after a tip that a man matching Cortez’ description was seen there not too long ago. The party needs Ivan to declare Stormblood Parlay to enter Lady Winella’s home to find the report on the location of the artifact. Wave the blue flag Met with Triade in the morning, introducing yourselves to Izill and Skalden, Triade members here in secret from Lord Borigan. They are going to wait in the wing around the Manor for when you get back with Ivan. Enter the cave and defeat the sahuagin attackers as the cave fills with water. Leaves the magical glowing slacks behind. Arygos was still passed out drunk from the night with Hugh the dead black sun elf.

Henri visited Garvin who has started a seemingly successful fishing company based out of the house boat you guys got him. Bought a diving bell and everything. Henri and Chris had a fishing montage. Scouted seekers camp to see that Remus Silverstaff is on the island. This can only mean that he believes the artifact is located on Kinaros. Chris uses his wand of smiles while sneaking up on Ivan, I made Ivan smile but he saw Henri running off. Entered Sawtooth under blue flag of Parlay, risking Ivan's freedom. Winella turned mean and imprisoned Ivan on the Zephyr Galleon docked to the south of the island. You were able to locate the report from 30 years ago that Vultara mentioned. It doesn’t have much but it lists an Eastern fisherman reporting a friendly merelf named Deway as well as burying a body Deway brought to shore. Winny was mentioned a relative of Lady Winella. Chris wants to talk to Moira about breaking in. Moira wants to enlist help of Triade.

Head back to town, which is on fire because the Triade members were causing a distraction. Decided in the chaos to save Ivan from the Zephyr Galleon. Successfully do that. Got things from chests, lit the Zephyr Galleon up after saving some Kinarosian guards. You enter this session with the timbers of the Zephyr galleon mixing with the ashes that were the markets of Kinaros. Skalden of the Triade set some of the city on fire to distract from you guys discovering information nowhere near the city. Flint was known as a sort of Benedict Arnold around Pacura. He gained trust in the rebels only to betray them to gain favor with the Typhon army. He then turned on Typhon years later to steal the Phylactery of the Magelord. This item of immortality is what the ongoing strife in the islands is all about. 1. Thormund of Typhon seeks ultimate power in which his father was too weak to control. 2. Lord Borigan has hired the Triade of the Fallen Night to help him secure the artifact. Motive unknown. 3. The Triade of the Fallen Night has sent its own emissaries to retrieve the item because they believe it is the key to defeating death. 4. The enemies of the Triade are the Seekers. They also search for the phylactery so they can lock it away in their vaults in Westmoor so only the chosen wizards can use such grand magic. The key to its location seems to be in the story of Flint Lancashire. After finding a few of his journals you followed a mystery that lead to his unmarked grave. Flint's body had been moved and the location of the artifact is at a dead end. • You know the Triade does not have it because they asked for your help. • You know civilians in this town have been replaced with Triade shapeshifters. • You know Remus Silverstaff is accompanying his wizards to try and find the item. • You know Kinaros is in flames. • You know what you've learned from the journals

After the long journey to free Kinaros you decide to let loose at the local tavern. Arygos and Moira get people dancing and singing. Chris leaves to catch fish and find berries. Henri hangs out in the room with your new shipmates Vultara, Skalden and Izill. During the festivities you meet a happy-go-lucky cripple named Stefan and a recent widow named Francisca. Chris and Fransisca go and bake in the kitchen during the party. In that time two gnome traders come in to see what the commotion was. Moira drunkenly informs them of Chris' identity and they inform then that they wish to kill Chris. The brothers names are Jonah and Oliver. Chris is their older brother who killed their father. Arygos accidentally sets the tavern ablaze, he then kidnaps the unimposing gnomes. Around here is when Moira uses a potion of diminution on Oliver. Chris and Fransisca escape but not before enjoying a room to themselves. Henri and the shiphands partook in some yandu that Skalden had with him. Them being mostly incoherent made Chris have to help then from the burning building. All the crew, which now included Fransisca and Stefan, escapes back to the Gobsnapper. Moira and Arygos begin interrogating Oliver and Jonah.

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 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 Yergrallfe 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.

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. Leave the City for the Pit

Teleport to the outskirts of Gyaron and see the Gobsnapper docked behind the S.S. Tempest. Lord Borigan is in a tense shouting match with Tayne about the jailing of Borigan's fiancee Olivier. Tayne will not relent and Moira tells him they killed Olivier. Borigan has Davos, Pathos and Pyrus as bodyguards. Pyrus holds Itchee and Tumble hostage. Tayne throws he body of Olivier in front of Borigan and the tyrannical leader is unphased. Borigan stabs Tayne in the leg with his ice rapier and a fight ensues. Sossori treis to gust the attackers away as the crews breaks for the Gobsnapper. Tayne with a leg injury cannot hold his ground but Pathos can. Davos casts a water wall and covers Pathos. He removes his helmet to reveal a black dragonborn with blue tendrils coming out of the spaces in his scales. Pathos has electricity flow from his body to his kinalite warhammer as he bring it down on Taynes lower half. Shattering the ice covering his leg and stomach. Valda rushes in but cant get passed the water wall, arygos bursts through it to attack Pathos. Pyrus leaves on the Bone Rattler as Davos takes command of the Rosebud. Borigan helms his galleon as his cannoneers and mortars fire upon the people of Gyaron. After recovering an angry arygos who Valda almost killed, you board the Gobsnapper to find a package from Christopher Knackle. In it is a note saying he wished it ended better, as well as his adventuring gear. He is for the moment retiring and focussing on rebuilding his family. Sail the Gobsnapper to the Kraken's Nest on Ios. Bicker about who the captain is. Each crew member pick someone else. Moira makes a prayer to danara and a tune appears on some food Franny is preparing nearby Moira eats it then passes out

Joseph Dexter Dundee is offered a place on the team.

You were able to rally the troops and get many Stormbloods to join forces with the rebel Maximus who was already brandishing the nickname of the Ocean Prince from his fellow revolutionaries. As you fought inside the tomb, Max was leading his newly formed Pacuran Royal Navy against Borigan and Thormund's Fleet of the Stormblood. You won the day although one of your friends betrayed you in the end and stole the phylactery.   You killed Claire and listened as a loud shrieking roar came from outside.   You make your way outside the tomb to the bright light of the Pacuran sun beaming orange light upon the salty ground. On the shore are bodies and driftwood from the carnage of the battle that took place while you fought inside. Max's ship could be seen in the center of many allies you had made along the way. Your old friend Mako was aboard the Howling Porpoise, captained by the ocean prince Maximus. Mother Maggie the innkeeper was walking around mending the wounds of the injured wayfarers. Ivan and his family, as well as Merdock and the crew fought together on the Kraken. Along the starboard side of the large galleon, you could see a large hole punctured in the side of the ship with green acid pouring from the hull. This room was formerly home to the Venom Maw Hydra who was Morty's pet. Parsellax died in battle against Lord Borigan after the Zephyrn stormblood retreated from the fight for the phylactery. A red painted Drakaar (viking longship) bearing the emblem of a hammer forging handcuffs sailed next to the Kraken, dwarfed by its size but filled with just as many warriors. Valda led the Wardens and Stewards of Gyaron on board her late husband's ship the Red Dagger. The last she saw of her two boys Itchee and Tumble was when Lord Borigan ordered Pyrus to take them away. The boys were not in sight aboard any of the ships. Captain Gorbashav could be seen on this ship with a harpoon through his shoulder. Iggy the Delicious Iguana Jam salesman came out of retirement to be the second mate on the Golden Fleece, this was Quinn's ship. As the ships returned to the Hydri port, Iggy was steering Quinn's ship. Lady Winella of Kinaros could also seen aboard this ship. A ship you recognized as the Tortuga also sailed for the Pacuran Royal Navy. Although the ship was now covered in fungus as Cortez rallied his myconid minions from Fishrot Hollow to become his crew. Also on board was his wife Nocturna and oddly enough DIckard, the goblin whom Henri forced to do combat to become a member of the Gobsnapper. He was last seen jailed on Kyra so how he ended up with a spore growing on his shoulder and mindlessly following his sovereign Cortez' orders is beyond you. During your battle, Quinn was captured by Claire and sent back to Thormund's ship, somehow Quinn was able to not only escape her confinements but took over the Onyx Stallion, Thormund's father's ship that he commandeered after the party stole and crashed his brig known as the Blackfly. Thormund could be seen in handcuffs next to Quinn. All of his main recruits were killed by the party in the tomb. Dimitri the priest, Fimbulwinter the winter werewolf and Claire the captain of the goldguard. He also lost the serial killer Dex. The S. S. Tempest could been seen in the distance with a hole the size of an elephant carved through it's hull, the legendary ship was sinking to the bottom of the Arid Sea with steam coming from the wood. Lord Borigan was nowhere to be seen. In the vast distance you could see 3 ships sailing away. A large purple ship known the the Moonbreaker sailed towards the volcanic mountains of the Firefang Jags, the towering mountain range could be seen silhouetted above the clouds even on the island nation of Pacura. Jericho captained this ship with his rejuvenated Triade of the Fallen Night, Moasis was last seen in the clutches of Jericho. The bone decorated ship known as the Bone Rattler sailed East towards the distant nation of Hearthen, Itchee and Tumble were last seen with Pyrus. Finally the Rosebud, the ship once owned by Olivier before you murdered him by suffocation inside a bag of holding. This ship was captained by Davos, the Merelf fighting alongside Borigan and Pathos. The rosegold ship sailed towards the Caluan Desert province on the mainland. As the ships sail in, Quinn congratulates you on preventing Thormund and Borigan from obtaining the power of the phylactery. She questions you on where it is. She says that she hates her father for leaving but mostly for choosing to kill her mother Kindra. She says she will tell Maximus what happened and have the history of Henri Sallya corrected across the history books. Mako comes to talk to you about the battle. When all seemed lost, an ocean dragon leapt from the water and followed Max's lead. This confirmed to many onlookers that he was meant to unite the island nation. He speaks frank for a moment and confesses that in the moment Max was just as confused as anyone. Dragons of all types are a rarity within Galfin, most lay dormant and send their minions to do their bidding. He doesnt know why but that random dragon turned the tide of the battle. It scared the blackguard off of Thormund's ship which allowed Condor, Ivan's oldest son to swing across and free Quinn. Just as her mother did 30 years before, the Stormblood of Kyra faced against Thormund on the greatest sea battle in recorded history. She took his ship and captured the tyrant. At least his son will have a mother to raise him, Claire is a fierce fighter but also a loving woman.   Arygos reveals that Claire died fighting for the phylactery.   Borigan jumped from ship as the ocean dragon blasted a cone of scalding water at his galleon, destroying it in one blow. This was crucial as the Kraken had suffered a major blow with the loss of Parsellax. This battle is being dubbed as the Rising Tempest, as this will be the first time since Oceanus Tempest himself gave equal birthright to his 10 children that there will be an undisputed leader of the seas. A coronation was held on Hydri, the first home of Oceanus and where the King's Tomb is located. All the remaining Stormbloods gathered to bless the rise of a new Ocean King. Diggory of Eidon, as well as his only son were killed by Eelisma and Thormund. A few remaining citizens that lived through the hellfire as well as some of the mudguards arrived to bear witness. Miles the Mudman could be seen behind the crowd selling mud pies. Quinn of Kyra, assisted on her casted leg by Condor. She was wounded by the powerful Lord Thormund in the Battle of the Rising Tempest. Maximus of Hydri, wearing the ancient ceremonial armor of his ancestor. Next to his wife and child, Kricia and Illia. The soon to be crowned Ocean King. Kricia of Milos, is soon to be crowned the Ocean Queen so her younger sister Krysta becomes the new Stormblood. Krysta stood next to her older sister in awe of what had happened in a few short months. Ivan of Ios, Stormblood with his mainland wife Raven and their family. They had workers carefully lay Parsellax to rest on the hills of Hydri. Cortez was next to his old captain Ivan and being uncharacteristically quiet. Winella of Kinaros, accompanied by her granddaughter Winni. Both looked elegant as they represented two different generations of rulers of Pacura. Brunhild of Gyaron, holding the hand of her battle weary mother Valda. Brunhild is the oldest daughter of Tayne, she is clearly distraught as she holds her tears in check over her missing brothers and dead father. Eelisma of Basilika, killed by Henri Sallya is without an heir. Maximus will decide what to do with this island now that the war is over. Rumours are of a shrine honoring Sootha, something that should have been on all the islands as she was all the stormblood's great ancestor. Therakles of Typhon, a young 3 year old bears a heavy weight as he can see his father chained up for his crimes. He is quietly crying out for his mother. A caretaker holds his hand and comforts the boy. Borigan of Zephyr, escaped aboard the Rosebud towards the mainland, no living heir to dispute Maximus' claim. The Stormbloods walks up except Winella, she quietly passes the mantle of leader onto her 20 year old grandaughter, Winny. Winella places the blue flag into her heir's hand then the old woman places her hand on top of Winy's to close it gently. Each Stormblood brings their blue flag of parlay and places it at their king's feet, giving their loyalty to follow him as one nation. Each of the 6 remaining Stormbloods: Quinn, Winny, Krysta, Brunhild, and Therakles hold their blues flags emblazoned with the symbol of their individual nation. Conch shells blare as the new king is sworn in. Azalea, Iggy's wife from Kyra, is the designated keeper of the kings armor as well as his weapon. Her family has kept these treasures safe for generations. She gave him the armor when it was clear that his claim would not be contested by the overwhelming amount of stormbloods you helped gather on his side. As the conch songs settled, she approached him with a dark silver trident that had rosegold tips atop its spikes. She gifted him the Imperious Trident, a weapon his ancestor used to free the ancient men from oppression. He carefully takes it from the citizen of his nation and closes his eyes. He lifts the trident up as the new Ocean King. "All Pacurans are whole once more, for the first time in 10 generations our people unite under one Pacuran banner. Any who seek to seperate us will feel the wrath of the sea itself. I wear this armor to show I am here to defend my country. This trident is meant to show my power over the ones I rule. I am not Thormund, Borigan, Branahan or Thresh. You the people are my power for I would not be here without you. I promise to use the power you have given me to allow Pacura a seat in the hall of kings where we will receive our fair share within the High King's quarters. You the people are why I stand before you now. This weapon is a sacred piece of our history and I accept this gift" Maximus looks to Therakles, he then looks to his cousin Thormund. "You are charged with treason against your king and against your people, with the power given to me by my blood, the justice distributed to me through the 6 kings of Galfin, the heart you stole from the people of Eidon and the duty passed down through our great ancestor, I sentence you to death." Maximus stabs thormund through the chest. Three puncture wounds easily cut through Thormund's black and gold armor. Max picks up the blue flags of parlay, wipes the blood from his trident with the flag bearing the Typhon logo and hands it down to Therakles. Max leans down to the boy and says "In the name of Pacura, I grant you permission to live. For boys are not guilty of their fathers mistakes." He then walks around the circle and gives the flags back to their respective Stormbloods. The ceremony wraps up as Max makes his way over to the party. "My war is finished but i fear your's is not. I cannot thank you enough for the assistance you have given the people of Pacura. I hearby honor you by declaring you Heroes of the Rising Tempest. You are now honorary citizens of Pacara. If you ever need to sail and a Pacuran is aboard that ship, they will give you free passage to anywhere in the world you would like to go. I also task you with one more bounty, if you see Borigan as he runs from my wrath, if you capture him, I will pay you out 2000 gp each. As I said, my fight may be over but you four breed trouble.

Miles is also your boat.   While you sail, a swarm of seagulls fly from pacura. They blot out the sun and begin falling to their death. These birds begin flaming a bright green burn when they strike anything. In the distance, before the far sight is blocked out, you see another ship coming towards you that is currently set on fire. You knock back some of the swarm but continue to get pelted. Suddenly the other ships accidentally rams into you and a trifling monk gets off the boat. An orb in her hand that contains two competing flames, a black and white flame spiraling around it self. The orb glows bright and fends off the swarm, all the birds fall dead into the water. Bedlam introduces herself and says she was lead to you by the orb. A cosmic shift has happened as of late and she felt compelled to follow the order to your team, who are somehow entwined in the webs of law and chaos.   You arrive on Eidon   You are greeted by Mako in front of some stone walls being built in the center of Diggory's village. around you see mudguards and native batgoblins that lost their home when thormund burned it. they were building the structure in front of you. this was being built as a staging point for the war but with peace now here Max has no more use of it.

Then meet zom who left snerz to die in the forest, zom then tried to steal snerz girlfriend razzi only to be shot down. In anger zom sold her off to slavers, the leader with the last name of ahuud.   Triss tries to make Joseph apologize to blimbo but the wound is still fresh, blimbonis unable to disenchant athos axe as it was his sister in law who made that magic. He has no weapons yet and is just getting set up. He gets angry at the elves so triss casts charm person to calm him. They all leave and then Joseph sneaks back in.   Grek opened his third Aasimar's Landing potion shop with 50% discounts for your party   Iggy and Azalea moved to Eidon to help rebuild and start a new jam store that is also making other preservatives. Azalea has an iguana sanctuary that is open to take care of other animals you befriend along the way but don't want to have follow you   Blimbo has moved to your island now that his wife was buried, he couldn't go back to that shop. He plays his violin in the town square every other Incagur (monday) of each month, weather permitting. He runs a blacksmith shop where he provides discounts.   Sol the dark elf has moved his bookshop from Ios to here and set up a more permenant shop, he is beginning work on a new manuscript that will hopefully not be erased by someone who needs to copy some text.   Miles the Mudman has set up a mudshack and pottery booth.   the remaining batgoblins rides boars into the regrowing jungle and hunt crocodile to help feed the settlement.   Mother Maggie's sister Mildred has set up an inn and diner for any weary travellers, The back houses a Guzzler tavern run by Izill, Skalden works as a chef using his pyromancy at Mildred's diner.   Skalden also runs a yandu tent inside the forest where he hangs out with the batgoblins.   Franny opened a bakery to make treats for all your new citizens.   A Milosian sailweaver named Brandi moved to begin her clothes making career.   Merdock dropped of some of the fast growing sogwood bamboo that Ios was famous for arboring, it needs a swampy area to grow and the mud pits outside Eidon are just right, your builders can use this to build quickly.   Garvin's houseboat could be seen docked as he set up a fish market on the shore.   Brunhild provided some Wardens as both protection and efficient builders.   Antiguo, the blind old fisherman from Kinaros could be seen carving sculptures of commissioned pieces. One of Sootha, one of Diggory, one of Tayne, one of Snerz and one of Henri Sallya.   Sossari talks to grek and invests more into his business. Assaimars landing will be the first shop seen when people arrive on Eidon   A missionary who came from Gyaron named rogerio tried to hand out pamphlets pushing for hatred against the lizard people. Bedlam was asking him questions as he called sossari over.   The missionary explained that ralf of gyaron was recruiting people to take up the fight against dragons and their kind. The dragons that reawole on the mainland have been causing destruction and a group is trying to rally together to put an end to them. Sossari doesn't want this kind of garbage on her new island so calls arygos over. Rogerio is polite but insists that he wants to kills arygos for his dragon relation. They take one pamphlet and burn the rest. Arygos heaves the missionary off the cliff by aasimars landing . Sossari hands the pamphlet to grek and asks him to stop anyone coming into sidon with those. Grek plans to use the funds to hire some security   Joseph handed some smithy tools to zom to end the session

This is your new stronghold and can be upgraded as you earn money. issues will arise where you may need someone to handle something but that would require an appointed official to run things when you aren't here. After they pick a representative that they feel will run their stronghold well, the can explore around.   Arygos goes to Blimbo's shop to find he is missing as well as some of his tools He then finds his body recently buried in the memorial garden Bedlam hires Wal'Du to begin work on an establishment. Joseph hangs out at the bar while Wal'Du is away. He meets a blind old man named Antiguo. Arygos comes to confront Dex but is greeted by the friendly Kinarosian man he has met before. Hey both head to the infirmary to check Blimbo's body. Triss spends the day working on the main parts homes. Replacing the shantys with actual homes. Sossari asks Grek who he can trust and is sent over to Garvin the houseboat owner. Sossari has never met him and interrupts Miles the mudman explaining blueberry muddies. Garvin is taken aback by sossari knowing about his past as a member of the high guard. Garvin was forced to retire after the public found out about the battle of snow peak and that it wasnt a battle to fight monsters, it was a church of dhara orchestrated genocide. Garvin cannot fight anymore but maybe knows some contacts of old high guard members out of work on the mainland. Grek also tells sossari he trusts blimbo the blacksmith so she heads over there, running into arygos and Joseph bickering over the dead body. Bedlam wanders over as well as she leaves the plans in the hand of the bone ogre bartender.   They begin arguing about what to do when Grek comes in to get then to sign off a new business permit. Zom the goblin wants to use his new tools to open a smithy. The team interrogate him and find he dodnt kill blimbo and was told by a shadowy figure that blacksmithing might just be his calling. Zom was given blimbos shop and began work on a gold ring for bedlam horn. Everyone in town is calling the leaders lordiness.   A loud noise is heard from the shore at aasimars landing.   They rush over to find a crater burst out of the ground and fancy dressed kobold elites attacking the lighthouse. A burger flies by them as they begin to attack. A young wind dragon almost kills triss after both her and arygos try and speak draconian to no avail.   They eventually defeat the monster and bedlam skins it. The grave it climbed out of had a swirling black and white mist at the bottom. They could see the rocks had what used to be fossils but had broken as the dragonkin had risen. This dragon grave had not been disturbed in thousands of years. Bedlam finds a small white rhombus inside the hole.   After this the Ocean King arrives to check on his new colony. Max commends them on killing a dragon and says that people on the mainland would pay well to dragon slayers. The dragons have been causing havoc all over. Because of that, an emergency meeting has been called in Arboran, the capital of Mooncrest and bastion of the East. Max is going to stay one night and sail out in the morning. He informs you that you can catch a ride with him but cannot leave without assigning a regent to lead the island in your absence. The group selects grek as bedlam awkwardly runs off covered in blood to go put her new loot her establishment. Triss and arygos invest in some warmer clothes as its getting a chilly on the mainland. Joseph goes to bed, Bedlam finds a barrel on the streets to sleep behind. Sossari and Maximus walk back to the new blacksmith shop, where sosarri saw Grek was hiding during the battle on the shore. The lordiness and the Ocean King inform Grek that he will be regent and he is very emotional about it. He thanks then and shakes sossori's hand, he is about to bow to max but reaches out his hand instead, max smirks and shakes it. On their way back, sossari and max see bedlam, the king carefully picks her up and takes her back to her new bed. Sossari rests as max goes to the tavern to meet his new constituents.     once you choose where to go, a seagull falls bloody and grayed onto your ship. then another, you looks up to see a swarm of birds flying away from something, all these birds are escaping pacura. above the waters and they all are beginning to drop from the sky and pelt the crew. the birds have an eeroe green glow to them. you look back to the distance of pacura when the light fades away. above you, blotting out the sun is an enormous mass of creatures taking up the entire sky, they look to be coming from the far east province of hearthen suddenly another ocean dragon breaches the ocean, and then another, as your eyes adjust and these leviathans take flight, you realize that the mass above is 1000s of dragons flying towards the mainland, you see them begin to fly off in all directions, breathing fire, lighting and acid on faroff fishing boats. they rains down chaos as you near the mainland. The Dragons have arrived. The Revenants of the Pit are unsealed. Adventure awaits you on the Galfin Mainland.

Bedlam watched Kleatus kiss Myreene and then sneak through the hidden tunnel to the south. She told woxbood to stay on the roof as she investigated. Kleatus left as Woxbood made his noisy entrance. Bedlam had already slit Myreene's throat. Woxbood said that some men in red armor were in the metal warehouse across the street. She ran away and slept in a tree. Woxbood made a sod blanket and both went to bed. They woke up and began training, Woxbood sweats sap. Sossari and Arygos wake up to go and see what Lethe is doing at the resort for the veterans. They follow along when she mentions she is missing her mineral water from Myreene's Essential Oils store. Sossari offers arygos to go get the shipment. Lethe accepts because she thinks Myreene's new boyfriend Kleatus kept her up late.   Triss finishes up at the library to run into a sweaty bedlam and woxbood. She cleans them up as they discuss the dead oil lady. Woxbood comes out with his quilted bridge and tells how he thought he was scammed by a traveling salesman. Triss and Bedlam tell him to go work at the vineyard.   As Arygos makes his way across town, he runs into triss and bedlam. They discuss under a bridge about the mischievous deeds of last night.

They find Kleatus who used to work with Arygos.   Sossari charms Lethe and learns that these men were all sent here by the Warden of the Woods Barren Blackcherry. She just kept saying how these men were good soldiers whi needed to fight their demons. Sossari dispels the magic on Rayne. Other men in the circle have a shared tattoo with Rayne but he doesn't know who he is or who they are. Sossari sees that one of the men looks like Rayne. This is Grai Cross, a swordsman of the High Guard. His memory isnt quite as gone as he has only been here a couple months. After the Krakens Nest was destroyed, Grai went to visit his brother in the Aerie. His brother was said to have left for a retreat in Crinian 4 years earlier. The last thing Grai remembers is meeting with Barren Blackcherry. Sossari and the Cross brothers leave to go find their friends at the Essential Oil shop. They all meet up and plan to go and kill the slaver buddy of Arygos because they believe they are working with the Kingfishers. The throw the corpse of Kleatus' liver through the window and the slaver viciously attacks Arygos. A fight ensues and the good guys prevail after some self inflicted wounds and head devouring by a sabre toothed tiger. Kleatus calls out in his dying breath that he is glad they captured Arygos' Brother. Bedlam takes a key off of the slave leader and they make their way inside the warehouse. Inside there are cages of dead dragon wyrmlings tortured and slaughtered. Sossari casts light and the find a lone dragon in the corner cage. It is oozing black liquid from its scales. The cage is encrusted with black Crystal's opposite of the ones Bedlam found. The dying beast reacted positively to the crystal so Bedlam ded it to him. It began to speak in modern draconic.all the older dragons speak the lost language of Synapsi. That's why they cant understand but the younger wyrmlings know modern speak. The dragons name was Amethyst and revealed that the Kingfishers were using their stash of Crystal's to enrage the dragons and cause them pain. Amethyst mentioned that the leader of this province's Kingfishers was wielding the Dragonlance stolen from the Village of Nak.   Triss found one document left with any information in it, a food order for a displacer beast with special instructions to get it right.

The Red Herons army was already attacking before Blackcherry arrived. They all fought off the battle as Sossari charged up totems with electricity to create a barrier around the castle.

Sossari and Trss used magic to defend the walls Arygos and Bedlam defeated Blackcherry as Dex took out his army Triss fended off the Red Herons attack at the loss of the remaining Thistlewatch. The Red Heron retreated as they brought the dragonlance to the pillar at Hedgespire.

Outside of Crinian another tree can be seen. Shoreez appears in the form of a spectral Sossari and tells the aasimar that the followers she is gaining will be needed in a war to come. Gods will be unseated as a sickness spreads through Galfin. Ahead in the swamp is a village. The goddess warns that it is in danger. Yelguk will be in need of some faith. Yelguk is a town known for creating poisons used by people all around Galfin. Triss found that out in her quick research.   You camp out and discuss your plans moving forward. At this point you are on the border of the Mooncrest and the Vargen Swamplands   Bedlam chased a squirrel to try and eat it. After a failed attempt she eventually caught and ate a live squirrel.   The swamps are full of exotic life. Giant leeches Breetlerots Alligators Lizard men Roaming ogres Giant bugs of all varieties Red squirrels   On your way to Yelguk you see a breetlerot grazing a mossy green pond. Behind it is a rock that looks mysteriously like a bird. Nothing else of note looks to be off with the scene. The party all investigates the strange rock to no avail. You continue walking and chatting about your plans. Suddenly a large boom can be heard from the distant sky. What you can see through the canopy of trees looks to be clear skies. You continue walking and find yourself upon another breetlerot grazing in the pond. Behind it is a rock that looks mysteriously like a bird. You try and figure out what happened by having me of the party try to cause a loop again. It does not work.   A yell is heard from the forest. You meet a young woman searching for a fancy metal called Maegon. It is used to forge a strong magic imbued weapons. She needs it gmfor her father. She is also confused as she thought she knew where she was going but got confused after a case of deja vu.   Her name is Ava. She lived near Rockmead but an army of red armored men occupied her village. Her father was very sick before the Kingfishers arrived. Everyone in town layed low and let the slayers have whatever they wanted. Two men came in and ate at their table while mocking her sick father. They had with them a third man of Caluan descent. An older gentleman with long flowing robes and artifacts hanging around his chains. He told Ava that he foresaw them meeting. Her father's medicine is no longer working as his body is fighting the meds. Pellets of a rare metal mixed with his water will allow his body the energy it needs to fight the infection. He told her that if she takes a letter to the Vargen Swamplands and delivers it to the half elf half human part dragon then she will be close to finding some Maegon. She said that the old man knew of her magical abilities which she hides from everyone. He told her that her natural light magic would lead me to the magical metal. She looks at Triss. Hands a letter that reads.     "My young learner, I do not have much time left in this world. My body grows weak as I am dragged across the country by Phoenix Incinerin and his brutes. The Kingfishers march to a town where a powerful element lies dormant. They wish to take the Capitol and seat themselves as the power over the innocents. I've seen them twist the dragons to their whim, I have seen them manipulate victims into joining them.   Alas, these are not your concerns. As the world burns there is only one thing you can do to stop the Kingfishers and the Darkness that is spreading. A Darkness that awoke the dragons.   You will seek the heir to the Skytracer bloodline.   The Harrowing cannot end until the true Highmonarch breaks the chains of oppression that are about to take control of this world.   You will help forge a blade made of rose gold shards.   With that blade, the Skytracer line will perish and the chain will break. (The Lifeline of Merkayne, corrupted by Virgil) But the Darkness will be extinguished.   In my visions I saw four people who will help you find the One.   A northman adorned in silver standing taller than most men. (anvil knows Morty left the Pit and spoke to Valda on where he was heading. Calua)   An honorable man dying surrounded by the High Guard.   A horned man wearing yellow and emerald destined to write the wrongs of his god. (Thought to be Sarvin but it will be Arygos who defeats Virgil and takes his place)   A ghost of questionable morals residing in the town of unquestionably bad morals. (Billiam Ducard and his child with Ruby Skytracer).   "   "My young learner, I do not have much time left in this world. My body grows weak as I am dragged across the country by Phoenix Incinerin and his brutes. The Kingfishers march to a town where a powerful element lies dormant. They wish to take the Capitol and seat themselves as the power over the innocents.

Compliments Sossari's hair.   You notice an odd gust of wind pass by. Slowly, in front of you a smooth blue orb appears. The orb begins to glow as 4 green skinned ogres walk out of the orb. They look very confused and hesitant. They look to you and yell something in orcish. The leader wears a red and white striped tribal mask with various sticks protruding from the edge. The leader is beating a war drum with his spears.   The 4 orcs attack.   Once defeated they fade into a blue light, only the tribal mask remains on the ground. It is in fairly pristine condition.   Make it to Yelguk.   Yelguk is an ogre village that is covered in black flies. The residents do not worship Shoreez, they have statues to Exodect the beetle god of plague and sickness as well as a Church to Rezial and his wife Whither, the demons who govern death and decay. The people here seem happy and just carrying on with their normal lives. An older woman can be seen knitting, a few kids play a game called drop kick, where they boot a ball through the village and run through people's property to chase it for points, a group of ogres sit around drinking ale from a bubbling hole in the ground. Another woman is carefully removing honey from a giant beehive built as her roof. A family laughs as they make their way home from dinner at the local leech shack. They comment on the weird sense of deja vu.   You question them on their experience and the father slowly realizes Joe's brand.   Kingfishers meeting in a town with rare metal.   Kingfishers plan to take Skygarde with Addikus claiming his royal blood.   Finding the heir to stop the Harrowing.   The father of the family stops and looks at Dex, he asks if he broke out of the Pit. After Joseph's reaction, the man rolls up his sleeve to reveal the same marking. He introduces himself as Griz'Thyl, Griz for short.   A blood ogre has returned home from the Pit to see his family after 16 years. He bears the brand of Merkayne, just like Dex. Ava points out her father shares that same marking.   Dex seemed interested in who Ava's dad was.   Griz'Thyl is just trying to be a father and regrets the senseless fight he got in over something when he was young. He thought he was protecting his family but ended up leaving them. It wasn't worth losing the time with his kids.   There are racial tensions between the greenskinned and red skinned ogres. It wasnt that long ago that the yellowskins were wiped out by the mighty Blades. The reigning Blade Ogre war chief sent Griz to the pit for getting in a fight with the chief's son Ug-Col'Ek.   He is worried for his family now that the Red Heron has control of Vargen Swamplands teaming up with the Blade Ogres. The teenager Griz fought is now the acting war chief of the swamplands.   He mentions how almost everyone escaped when Lord Thromund broke the seal. He saw one blind man who chose to stay and finish off his sentence. The blood ogre tried to help him out but the man refused to leave. Griz wished he had that kind of fortitude but he ran with everyone else and now fears for what's coming for him. The ogre had 3 years left and mentions how the captain only had 1 month remaining.   Joesph seemed worried that Mortimer got out of prison   His daughter who is now a teen runs over and gives him curried guano soup. He offers some to the party.     After talking with him you are called over by the postman assuming you were the Shatterbrand.   A decent sized town with a PPPP. A letter is waiting for the party from Grek.   PPPP owner Hakim (optical)   You have a letter waiting for you from Grek.   "Grai made it back and has been training new mercenaries. He hit up Sol who is now the librarian and found some information on how to kill Succubus and the Undead. Any weapon can harm them but a magic weapon forged from Maegon metal can be particularly effective against zombies, vampires, succubi, incubi, skeletons and generally anything not living.   I am also doing some more tests with the ceremonial Trident that Oceanking Maximus presented you. My early findings show it might be made of the Maegon you seek."   Also mentions how he has taxes collected for the party but cant send it through mail. So once they make it back they can have it.   Hakim recognizes the mask on Sossari's back.   The party is taken to the Church of Rezial next to the Exodect shrine. They are told about the history of the different skinned ogres. The Blood Ogres are insulted that you insinuate the great settler Dwi'Thek was green skinned. They look at your mask and determine it was made from the now extinct wood of the Marshtomb tree. The wood seems to be not very old. Griz' wife Mar'Ghe is the resident expert on ancient relics and the town's mystic.   She proclaims her annoyance at blade ogres raiding in the south and a black skinned ogre causing a stir in Largie.   Outside the village is a large cedar tree with purple orchids that can be seen above the other trees.   Once over there Shoreez asks Sossari to kill all the nonbelievers so the evil 3 gods lose power. If the current events proceed and Sossari continues building her army then the evil gods could be unseated by events soon to happen. Death is the enemy and we will need all the help we can muster for the wars to come.   Sossari was seemingly okay with genocide in the name of her god.   Griz offers to put you up for the night free of charge.   Sossari tries to get the group to go talk near the tree so she can choose to attack or not but before a verdict can be met, Griz runs out of his house and rolls up his sleeve in terror, Dex does the same to reveal both of their bands are glowing green. The group and town are attacked by 3 Harrowers.

Travel with Anvil and Ava to Largie, the cultural hub of the Ogres of Vargen. Fight some lizard folk on the way. Anvil protects Arygos   Sossari almost died from the lightning gecko   Arrive, Anvil goes to find shelter and rent a room. Ava goes with while the party explores.   Learn that Largie is the Cultural legacy of the ogres.   There are 5 Pillars of the ogres, a designated leader tasked to make sure certain aspects of their way of life are maintained.   “Who would you follow if forced to: a man with a book, a man with a banjo, a man with a quill, a man with a bow or a man with a legion of ogres behind him..”   Arygos goes up to explore the what DIJ is. Sossari and Triss go to the library and meet Mar’thuk. A handsome blade ogre wizard. Bedlam Sossari learns about the statues showing what each ethnicity believe Dwi’Thek to look like. Bloods believe he was Red skinned with green war paint and vice versa for the blades. Marthuk also mentions that the legendary mask is a family heirloom to YazGaMu the shaman. Marthuk can make books fly around his library. Triss learns about the royal lineages of the 6 Royal Families. She also researched the Record Book of the High Guard Captains. Learned of an uncle to Orion Skytracer, Armadi. Sir Nikolas Heartstring who retired after the Decimation of Skygarde which was his second term as Captain. Between his stints of leadership there was the battle priest Yacobius and Grai Cross until he briefly disappeared and left Nikolas back in charge. The current captain of the high guard is Andrea Cross.   They also learn there is a fire ban because the weather makes the swamp gas rise from the ground. This town utilizes explosive swamp water to make poisons and glass muskets. The War Pillar of this town makes a lot of money from the sail of guns.   Bedlam and Arygos wander into the orb shop. Here is easy going Shrike the bicardian birdfolk throwing an ever glowing orb into the air. He hits himself in the face. He complains about being stuck in this town being a great orb maker when he could have been doing so much more. Also he hates the humidity. He made enough for the town to hire him and get him to move there but he made them too good and his orbs never go out. He comments on how it was probably for the best that he left Skygarde because the college exploded 4 months after he left during the Decimation of Skygarde. Shrike narrowly avoided the Hearthic Invasion but is still bitter that his life has been thrown away on this island working his best years away. Bedlam sees all the glowing orbs and asks Shrike to replicate her lost friend Synapsid. Shrike admitted he hasn’t quite done an orb like that with the white and black flames but he will try. He gives a thumbs up as fire erupts from his thumb, he is clearly ignoring the fire ban. After some playing and frustration, he accidentally drops the orb and it looks like it is going to explode. It rolls over to Bedlam’s feet and it slowly stops shaking. She picks up the ball and runs out of the shop crying.   Arygos then invites the birdfolk mage to come to Eidon and run their magic shop.   Arygos, Sossari and Bedlam make their way to the Shaman’s house. A place where YazGaMu uses the swamp gas to create potions and elixirs. He is a wacky fellow that calls Sossari an uncultured swine and the refers to her as Sauce the rest of the chat.   The blade ogre reveals that his family has had the very mask the party dealt with last time since the day Dwi’Thek was killed in the Blood Ogre territory. Yaz will not let anyone touch the mask and it is protected by a magical barrier.   He also mentioned how he doesn’t think the time skip happened because it was from 2pm to 3pm and that’s when he takes his daily nap.   Says the Gyaron Gazette was screaming about the time skip a week back.   He also told you that the rundown residence next door was part of the current chieftain’s race attack 4 years back when UgColEk massacred the brute ogres. The War Pillar Krog’Nak is the right hand man to the genocidal chieftain who is in league with the Kingfishers. Red armoured men have been seen meeting with the War Pillar.   He threatens anyone who tries to steal the mask will have their hands join his necklace of skeletal hands.   After this meeting Sossari and Bedlam head over to the Gyaron Gazette to ask about the time skip. Arygos uses his magnet boots to investigate the shutdown district.   Calypso is a homely gaijin woman who is equally into the conspiracy theories as the Pacuran Ralf. She immediately asked you if you were part of the lizard folk and compared them to whales surfacing to air and then mentioned them being plants.   They relayed information about the time skip, she relayed that thanks to the Gazetteers recorded the exact time the skip took place and it was a ripple effect originating in the Caluan Desert. She scribbled all their information down about the Dwi’Thek encounter. She notes it all down and promises not to reveal them as the source until another time. She notes how she is friends with Mar’Ghe and the mask was never in the Rezial Church. Only the drum was ever in that church. The party contests that and shows her the drum. She is very hesitant to believe their story because even for her it’s too much. She said their story only works if when they interacted with the past ogres and the mask, they would have altered the timeline without anyone knowing.   Arygos finds someone has been living in the closed Brute ogre district. Inside the first building is rations and a line of faebread crumbs. The centre of this district has the statue of Dwi’Thek but it is painted yellow with no war paint. Inside another house Arygos finds two bone ogres hiding out. They are shocked because he is still masked as a Kingfisher from earlier. They act scared and confused. Arygos shows his face to tell them he didn’t belong here either. They ease up as he asks questions.They reveal they came here with Pyrus after he left. They were told to leave once he gained favour with the War Pillar. The house across the way was supposed to be for the with doctor Ictic. They confirm that their boss is in tight with the leader and they don’t have anywhere to go.   The group then gathers and discusses their plans. Triss reveals she must find the heir to the Skytracer line to eventually stop the Harrowing. In Triss’ prophecy from Moasis, it talks about reforming a powerful blade, the kingfishers being a symptom of the true problem, and 4 individuals who will be needed to find the true heir.   Dhara   A northman adorned in silver standing taller than most men.   An honorable man dying surrounded by the High Guard.   A horned man wearing yellow and emerald destined to write the wrongs of his god.   A ghost of questionable morals residing in the town of unquestionably bad morals.     In the meantime, while trying to find a way to end the eventual Harrowing, the Kingfishers are planning to take Skygarde and are meeting at a town with a reservoir of powerful metal with magical properties, The Red Heron is trying to buy Tayne’s son to get the backing of the Oceanking, They will use Addikus’ royal blood to seat him on the throne and take control of the mainland.

After reading the list out loud and leaving the Hunt Hall, Anvil mentions he has heard of one before.   Anvil says he knows the name Remus Silverstaff, he quickly draws a sketch that looks like a younger version of Remus, still with silver hair. He reveals that Remus and his brother Boto were born in Harfjörd before the Arctic Dwarves took it from Anvil's people. The blue skinned dwarves renamed it Orichlan to besmirch its history around 15 years ago. There is a statue of the brothers in the snowy Capitol. The Silverstaff parents moved north because the deadly Fogholt plague could not survive the cold.   The brothers had a noted history of disagreement but when the Boto was 32 and his younger brother 21, they put their heads together and found a cure for the Fogholt Plague. This was is the 163rd year of 5E.   The deadly sickness killed many people over the last 3 generations with surges of illness cropping up all around the world.   Remus reached out to his brother when his childhood love, a woman whom he had married had contracted the virus. His wife Zara unfortunately passed away shortly after the brothers found a cure for the inflicted, only slowing the decay of those currently carrying the disease. Remus was so sure he would save her that he didn't spend Zara's last months with her but instead in a laboratory working, even after the cure was discovered he was busy spreading the vaccine. He couldn't see her in such a late stage of the sickness. This left his newborn son to grow up without his mother and under the care paid caretakers. The regret of not saving his wife led Remus to focus on his work going forward, his purpose was now his research and he was a distant father.   The Silverstaff brothers went on an expedition to Fogholt with a historian from Clarion. These people descended from those who left the mountain kingdom before it was spiritually stagnated by Mountainking Deacon Oakhand.   Remus moved to Westmoor once he was grandfathered into the Seekers and Boto started the Spellstrung College and Magi Guild in Skygarde. Boto gathered those who were already researching a teaching magic and allowed them to join together in one place.   Dex joins the party after his migraines subsided.   They must hurry as the last night of the Cattle Sale is on tonight. Dex leaves for 1 day and now they are dealing in slaves.   They have an invitation to Grit but do not know his password. The invitation lists 4 total people are allowed in with their boss.   Ava says she is tired, not feeling well. As much as she wants to help she can feel her magic dwindling without a proper rest. She elects to stay at the inn while Anvil, Sossari, Joseph, Triss, Arygos and Bedlam head towards the swampy location listed on Vaymekmu's map to the Ranch.   The Shatterbrand plus Anvil head out down the road in the night.   Find a carriage broken down with the Kingfisher insignia on the outside. A phoenix with a dead snake around its neck.   Here you meet an odd fellow exclaiming to be the Seagull, he is clearly anxious of your questioning. You notice the armor he is wearing does not fit the small stature of the person wearing it.   Dex checks around back while Bedlam takes the new guys helmet. Yuri the bramble dwarf exclaims how the bodies were there when he got here. Joseph sees the Merkaynian brand on all 4 men and they have tears and gashes all over their bodies.   Dex recognizes the real Seagull as Thatch. Thormund's half brother who was in the Pit.   After this settles, Yuri reveals he was guided here by his goddess Kishar. He isn't sure what he is supposed to do but he is searching for the princess of the Autumn Moon Elves, Iris. (The white stag led him this far). The real Seagull and his men died from green skeletons with bat wings attacking his cart. (As the stag approached, the Harrowers left the scene repelled by the light.) Yuri took the Seagull's armor, invitation (for 4) and carriage.   Unfortunately the wheel fell off after a large bump and the horses scattered. The bodies of the Kingfishers are in the trunk as you wanted to bury them proper. You made haste when you realized they were on their way to an event. Possibly this is what your goddess wanted of you.   As the Shatterbrand casually mentions just taking the Kingfisher stuff, Yuri burns the card with the Seagull's password on it, ensuring they must work together if they would like to get into the Cattle Sale.   Yuri has one cash voucher that he found on the Seagull.   There is also letter telling you to return the Pacuran boys to the new Kingfisher settlement in Barakek. The Red Heron will then organize a meeting with the new Oceanking to gain his endorsement for the Kingfisher Addikus Windslayer to claim the High Throne.   This letter is attached to a locked box gifted from Addikus, Yuri tried to open it but they needed to hurry so he placed it away.   Anvil points out that Barakek was where the ship she was supposed to meet with the boys was going to dock (Valda sent Mako and the Gobsnapper (mispronounced Goobstooper) to retrieve the boys after he found his mother safe).   Sossari sends off her bird to try and contact Mako to tell him to avoid Barakek.   Arrive at the Ranch   Enter the main barn where each faction is standing away from one another.   Auxard the Auctioneer enters after Sossari convinces the lizardfolk bouncer that goblins actually look like rieslings so she can get in as Grit Bladescum.   Auxard is a Gaijin hustler bedazzled in shiny gatormail armor and numerous piercings.   He welcomes everyone and encourages you to mingle for the cocktail hour.   Dex goes over to the bar to speak with the spooky grey fellow with the long cape. He asks the Barkeep for the same drink and the barman cautiously clarifies. Joseph agrees and is brought over a viscous warm cup of goats blood. Xavier Grimbind, an odd man with a foreign accent hailing from the far north of Hollow Peak. They discuss what they do, Xavier explains him and his cohorts enjoy a good feast and he is here to pick up some fresh meat. He refers to them as "foodies". The conversation of Grit's plans come up and Dex plays coy about what the vampire is talking about to learn more.   Sossari and Bedlam go speak to Xarus (roughly 40 year old man with naturally silver hair). Xarus hates this kind of event but knows that magically innate children are often sold here. He believes the Seekers can help these kids. After some questioning, Xarus reveals he knows of Iona, she was one of his father's favourite students. Remus liked remorseless people like Pyrus and Iona. The last he heard Iona killed his uncle Boris and his father went to Pacura to hunt her down. Currently he is not communicating with anyone while searching for something in the Caluan Desert. Xarus explains that he has a duty as a Silverstaff to live up to his family name and that is why he won't leave the Seekers even though he is unhappy. He also mentions how he overheard Grit's schemes last Sale and that Sossari's Kingfishers have taken Barakek and are marching on Clarion as they speak. He says goodbye after commenting on how good hearted the two of you were for common goons.   At the same moment, Xavier and Xarus reveal that Grit yelled out "Death to the Heap King" As he entered the previous Cattle Sale.   Triss masquerades as Yuri's bodyguard and go talk with the Tung brothers. Silver does all the talking and makes jags at his larger brother the whole time. Informs you how they got in a scuffle when they were young and Silver ripped Lead's tongue out of his mouth with a kitchen fork. They reveal they do not know much about who is up for auction but they are mostly here for the beasts to add to their arena in Skygarde. Silver boasts how his brother is the current champion. Silver also mentions how he advises his cousin the Highking, now he helps things stay afloat now that Orion has died. After a line of questioning, Silver begins throwing shade at Oxford Regalsmith for apparently stealing their family heirloom. They describe it as a crystalline shard of ancient heritage. The assistant of Mr. Regalsmith is a former member of the Syndicate, a mine dwarf named Gabo Redlock.   Solomon of the Dharan Church. The right side of his face is seared from a burn beyond the point of healing.   Sir Davos of the Zephyrn Fleet A loyal soldier is here for his boss Lord Borigan. Arygos casually comes up to him ready to question him about his mother is Calua. Unfortunately for Arygos, Davos had his windpipe slit and was now unable to speak. Arygos tries to get what he can out of yes or no answers. Davos reveals Borigan did this to him and he is here for the Pacuran boys. The intent is for Borigan to have a bargaining chip to regain his lordship over Zephyr. Davos immediately recognized Arygos in the armor and touched his Trident when the dragonborn implied there would be a problem if Davos took the boys. Arygos learned that at least to Davos' knowledge, his and Pathos' mother was still alive and he didn't know what color she was nor anything about their father. Davos stopped speaking to Arygos after he insulted him.   Rayko of the Trade Union of Minyi   Grit Bladescum of the Mooncrest Marauders, learned that the marauders dont where an outfit and that Grit is planning a coup on the current Heap King of the Mound.   The Seagull of the Kingfisher was Thatch, half brother of Thormund. He was broken out of the Pit and invited to join the quickly moving organization of the Kingfishers.   There are too many to fight your way in, must get as far as you can with tact.   Must choose which "cattle" to save.   1000gp per bet, 1 voucher for each faction   Dex and Yuri both hold the vouchers.   Once the auction begins, you find the Seagull's and Grit's respective rooms.   Cattle Green dragon (4000gp, Silverloan) Mother and daughter(1000gp, Seekers) Goblin linguist (1000gp, Kingfishers) Orphans siblings Skuff and Maple (1000gp, Grit) Minotaur (3000gp, RBC) Old man stonemason (1000gp, Xavier) Itchee and tumble (265000gp, Grit)   Yuri recognized the goblin as the language teacher that Iris was with the moment before the dragons attacked.   Each member made their way to the collections room. They lined up in a queue while Auxard handed them their cards. The goblin's card reads Razzi the Linguist. Sossari remembered that was Snerz' girlfriend who Zom sold into slavery.   Tung and Silver Xarus Seagull Grit (Dex) Gabo Xavier Grit (Bedlam and Anvil)

Awake in the morning, around noon to prepare for your next journey. Razi mentions she heard the princess Iris' voice leaving with the Kingfishers the day before you arrived. She did not see her in jail but it was unmistakably her voice. They were together when the dragons awoke and began attacking the elven city of Adrionne. Right after the dragons attacked, the kingfishers came in to save the people. The Queen Alyssum, Iris' aunt who is unable to bear children (hence why her niece is the princess) refused the fire elf's offer to join their cause. The last thing she Razi remembers is a great fire engulfing the village, more dragons must have returned. Iris wore an orange pinecone decal bracelet that protects the wearer from fire. She shielded me from the blast. I woke up in a cart and didn't see or hear from Iris until I heard her voice leaving with the Bloodhawk.   Iris also says she will not return to Eidon while Zom remains. He tricked her onto the ship that sold her to the Myst Trading company. You agree Zom can go when the mother chimes in saying she is an experienced smitty.   Stoma thanks you, she was under heavy sedation for many months while being passed around as a beast. She studied under the powder masters of Hearthen and was brought over a year ago with the Hearthic Invasion. She escaped from those brutes but was captured and sold into the cattle sales. She seeks to know your worth and challenges whoever is willing to a minotaur test of strength.   Maple and skuff are farmhands who lost their father recently. They tended to his farm before the dragon razed it.   JaGoMed mentions how he asked around town about your exploits. He is interested in what Sossari remembers from her past life before she died fighting Eelisma and preventing Sootha from being brought back. He reveals that her reincarnation is an oddity even with the magic connected with aasimar's.   Aasimar don't have the ability to retain memories from their past life, they come back as a blank slate.   Memory of KhenWhi being forced to leave town as his father is not there to protect. Seen as an outcast. Leaves with only his tall green shield as he is harrassed. Meets up with some Caluans on his spiteful walk out of town. Khenwai is Merkaynian   Ava is sick and thinks she has the same illness her father has. She spoke to JiGohMed and he says she is too unwell to travel. She needs to return home to him but asks for you to deliver the Maegon shrapnel to Rockmead when you can. JiGohMed is travelling with the other scholars and Mar'Thuk the librarian to celebrate the reopening of the Spellstrung College and Magi Guild in Skygarde. Since Boto Silverstaff died at the Decimation of Skygarde roughly a year ago, they have been rebuilding it ever since. They will take Ava home on their way.   Anvil leaves with the boys after telling the party what Valda told her. That Mortimer finished his sentence, spoke to Maximus and then headed off towards Turin, after that he planned on visiting the man who raised him in Skygarde. Ava questions why this is relevant. Anvil declares that Mortimer is the third child of Hector Skytracer, disowned at a young age and stricken from the history books. Mortimer did not like the responsibility of the crown. He is the last descendant and heir to the throne.   Leave toward your next destination. Barakek for you and Yelguk for your new friends. Due to flooding you are forced to use a less traveled crossing. You see a ship that tried to make it further into the mainland up the Vargen waterways, some of you recognize it as the wreck of S.S. Tempest.   The boat looks as though it was cut in half by a stream of fire. Sir Davos comes out without his voice and gets a kingfisher to ask for the boys. Atop a tower is the Albatross, a quiet general who is quite the marksmen.   Eventually when Yuri uses his spirit, it's a white stag. You realize that his spirit is that of Kishar, the nature goddess who chose you to find the village of Nak.   Sossari and Joseph took care of the outside while Yuri and Arygos took down Sir Davos. Bedlam was able to kill the Albatross after he critical failed some attacks.   Yuri got the final strike on Sir Davos, seeking him out because he wore the Pyrecone Bracelet which was owned by Iris.   You fought your way through the Kingfishers and defeated them. As the albatross fell dead, his helmet rolled off to reveal Lord Borigan.   Borigan has giant strength due to a belt gifted to him. Davos is wearing Iris' bracelet.   Davos is on the brink of death. Still without a voice, he can only answer a few of Arygos' questions.

Fight Ridra She has taken on her god completely and is now partially made of insects. She summons a large army of giant bugs. At one point she bursts into a dense swarm of blackflys only to have bedlam and arygos nimbly avoid it. She hides in numerous swarms of flies as her minions try to kill you. She was distraught after you destroyed her totem and her library. She wandered into the swamplands to find her deity. He made her a monster and sent her towards the Kingfishers. They welcomed her and takes them to find you after you defeated the Albatross and Flying Fish   Arygos killed a giant moth that Yuri had just moments before made his new pet. This led to a fight between them. Yuri asked him not to do it but Arygos didn't hear. Yuri now has some distrust towards his dragonborn ally.   After the battle Kenji admitted there was a little more to his story. He was sent back to his family home but it wasn't from a random letter. He was sent by the honorable Lord Bres of Clarion to find the item his evil family was guarding.   Kenji gave you the Cube of Vlox to give it to Lord Bres of Clarion. The honorable Bres wishes to use the cube to help rid the Kingfishers from his lands. Kenji was tasked to come and get the cube but upon arrival was intercepted by Incinerin. Kenji was forced to show them the ritual that he had spent his life trying to distance himself from. His deceased allies are his family that accompanied him and he wishes to bury them away from this wretched place. He will take them to be buried on Eidon.   The magical safehouse was to protect the cube. Your group was right in their suspicions that the safehouse was too elaborate to just hide Kenji.   Before he left on his way to Yelguk, he grabbed a white mask with gold carvings delicately etched across the face. It was a half mask that didn't look to be broken. Bedlam threatened Kenji that if he ever betrayed them, she would kill him.   If questioned further, Kenji will tell you he was sent back here by his lord to retrieve the item that they had. Up until the kingfishers, Lord Bres had no reason to use the cube but now Clarion has enemies at it's doorstep.   If he is targeted for antagonistic behavior, a mask can be found on his person. He lied about his family except his wife. The other two are a goblin and a halfling. The each wear a mask and have the symbol of Vlox carved into their chests. Their throats are slit so they could not have spoke. If you discover Kenji is lying, he will panic and bite down on a Nevertell root. His eyes roll back into his head as he convulsed. His veins turn purple, similar to those affected by the the purple moths.   Head towards Barakek passing through the Pleasant Valley.   As the sun sets you find your way in to a small clearing in the woods. The cool breeze in the air has been getting chillier as the frosty nights make the leaves of even the humid swamps begin to change. As you walk into the clearing, a fog begins to dissipate. In front of you stands a dead oak tree. There are no flowers left on this once tall tree. The fog clears as your vision focuses on the dead bark, carved into its bark is the glowing green symbol of Vlox. This is no longer a mirage hidden behind tricks, Vlox sends the Shatterbrand a message. The fog completely settles into the nearby treeline, the blood soaked ground reveals itself as you see a herd of dead animals butchered and lifeless. There are over 2 dozen white stags and doe lying on the ground, their snow white fur polluted red with their own blood and their hooves sawed off. Around the base of the tree you see a delicately hung decoration, a necklace of deer feet around the tree.   A voice speaks out to you, you feel it chill your bones. A fragile, slim figure unfolds itself from the bark. This being is an Oakenfolk, a creature as closely associated with Kishar as her ivory deers once were. The Oakenfolk are folk that live in oak and speak Oakenspoke. They are notorious for speaking in circles. In the common tongue they are sometimes referred to as treants and when they grow old enough, they take the entire tree they call home and uproot themselves to walk around.   "The infection spreads too deep. Two have already fallen, a third has become his sheep.   The seal broke and his restraints drag across the ocean. The revenants follow his whispers with devotion.   A fourth is missing and could now be a threat. Vlox seeks a cleansing of the Celestial Octet.   Innocence of Nature, broken and slain. Change of the Oceans, twisted and changed.   Ever present Sky, greyed out and gone. Light bringing Sun, a dark new dawn.   The guiding Moon, luster lost and diminished. Never changing War, a peace soon finished.   The erratic Chaos, extinguished through a conniving deal. The stoic Order, improperly weighed with the breaking of the seal   Lastly his brother, do right, no different in the dark nor light. Corruption will prove all can do wrong, whether they are weak or they are strong.   My life's end is coming, that's enough talks. All will fall under the power of Vlox."   His eyes glow green as a searing pain envelops your mind. The rooted treant's body goes limp as visions appear in each of your minds.     A rusted tower shield of Merkayne, it slowly crumbles under its own weight as black fire and smoke erupt out of the cracks.   "My family brings a tragic past, those who follow my brother will bleed fast. The Harrowing has only just begun, soon the Enclave shall be done."   A small white fire that explodes into a white fire Phoenix.   "I blessed the Phoenix with my darkness, little does he know he furthers other's prowess. I have helped many in their hour of plight. My whispers alone killed the dragon of black and white."   You hold onto a grapevine attached to the last tree in existence hanging over a pit of darkness, only by using your goodberry spell can you keep the vine and tree alive.   "The Tree Mother, a goddess of many names. Today it does not matter, for Lady Kishar's flock lay maimed. This is the death of the earthly deity and soon the others will show fealty."   Two versions of Sossari lean in to hug each other, the one girl disappears as the remaining looks sad into the air. A symbol of Vlox can be seen reflected in her eyes.   "I have seen the Sky fall, next the Ocean will heed my call. I am one with all and all with me, soon I will rid the world of Shoreez."   The sun and moon collide in the sky above Galfin, the sky is now covered in a black hole sucking in solar flares and moon debris.   “The heir will die just like my brother. The Celestial Octet will be smothered. Your gods will fall as will the others.”   A tall glowing man is surrounded by many silhouettes. Each falls down except for one. From that last shadow three human figures step out to you.   "A woman dying, sick in her bed, her young babe nearby with tears to be shed.   A man and his son in a forest lie dead, killed by a friend and betrayer in red.   Banished and erased, removed from his homestead, a bastard was born with a gift of great dread."   Yuri can't feel Kishar except for the spirit attached to him.   Arygos looked up before resting for the night and saw that the two moons were almost full. A day or so away from the double full moon.

Explore the city, The night began with Dex getting out of the bag of holding and joining Bedlam and Arygos During the time they were there, they never saw the guards on the Merkaynian Tower switch shift, let alone move.   Sossari and Narissa joined Yuri and Triss at the tavern. It was completely empty as were the streets. They quickly discussed their plans and went to find the other three. The bartender warned them they should just go to their rooms and call it a night. Sossari insulted him and then left.   They ruined the scouting party's hiding spot as they began to talk about finding the Grove. Looking to prove to Narissa that the Kingfishers are bad. Everyone makes their way to where Arygos explained he saw the bodies.   Once out there they see a few lanterns in the distance. As some of the party hides and others disguise themselves. They see a few patches of dirt that looks to be the size of the mass graves Arygos saw. As a voice calls out asking who they are, Arygos yells out that he is the Pelican because it worked last time. As the two Kingfishers walked up not fully armored escorted by a contingent of slayers. The orange glowing eyes of Incinerin pierced the darkness as he inquired about the Pelican's journey. He was friendly as he explained how Iris was helping him cover up his graves out here, using her chloromancy. Iris reached out hesitantly to shake the Pelican's hand, he noticed under the lace of her arm sleeve that her arm was heavily burned.   The Phoenix asked about Narissa, you guys covered your tracks by saying she was out passed curfew. Incinerin smiled and said you can use the grove as long as you dig everything yourselves.   He pleasantly bids you adieu and carries on into the city. By this point a sigh of relief goes over the party. Narissa opts to leave and go help her people, start the process of getting people out of Barakek. Bedlam found some tracks leading from the graves into a storm drain that goes under the city.   There is a trapped hall at the entrance that makes the room fill with water. Swarms of quippers begin swimming around your feet in the rising waters. Arygos used his extra energy to swing haphazardly at some pirahna. After defeating the fish, the water and gas chemically mixed and cooled the room. This caused the glass vials in the gear mechanisms to turn similar to a thermometer reacting to temperature. The door opens and you enter a hidden vault underneath the city.   In the room is glass jars filled with toxins and a rug made of a lion's coat.   The next room is a prison holding people that the Phoenix didnt want dead, but wanted away from his civilians.   Before you can check the knocked out bodies, a manticore attacks you. It speaks that only Addikus can enter. The reason for this is that this is Addikus' pet. He was once famed for wearing the pelt of a manticore into battle and using them as his personal bodyguards. His warring days were seemingly behind him but he must have still taken care of his pets in his hiatus from watching over the Mooncrest.   You defeat the manticore after Joseph calls upon 7 brozerkers to aid you in battle.   The 3 bodies are knocked out from the tail spikes of the manticore. Bedlam finds an unconscious Mako in one cell. The next is a man wearing the orchid wrapped cedar tree emblem of Shoreez. In the third cell they find a disheveled older Caluan man with a slit stitched across his neck and a slightly glowing symbol of Vlox carved into his chest. He cannot speak but is not hostile. Triss runs over and hugs her former mentor, crying over the state that he is in. Normyn is still loopy from the manticore poison but shudders out one phrase. "Shireez is gone"   You find a chest full of loot in another cell as well as some coins.   As you make your way up through the final cell, where a tapestry had covered an exotic up to the main city, you enter the empty curfewed streets of Barakek. The clouds part as the light of the moon shines down on you. Arygos immediately falls to the ground and his bones begin to contort. Rather begin growing out of his scales. The double full moon activated his untrained lycanthropy.

As the streets begin to sink and shift, building begin to crumble. The core streets of this city were built with the new iteration of the Pit. Many of the buildings were built during the time of KhenWai. The son of the great DwiThek made this town a Merkaynian stronghold but didnt know about the inner workings. You narrowly avoid a house crashing down on you as people are running in terror from the collapsing streets. It begins to settle but suddenly large cracks appear beneath you, everyone begin falling into cracks in the road.   Act 1: The Pit   All the groups are separated by rubble and land shifts. Learn some stuff Watch as the chains fall over the top   As the dust yourselves off, covering up any scrapes you may have gained from the fall, you look to the sky. Now over 1000ft tall you are at the bottom of The Pit of Vlox. It is tough to see but as you are looking skyward you see a figure at the top of the wall. This lone person then jumps into the pit. You can vaguely see it dragging a chain behind it. After that you begin seeing hundreds upon hundreds of undead harrowers fall over the edge, dragging green glowing chains behind them.   Triss, Benzimin and Dahrill. Talk about Draken, the brace, only works for people who have pledged themselves to the gods of the sun and the moon, show brands on their hands, mention how only one woman could have cared for you when you mother left the Jags, the egg keeper of Agata is uniquely qualified to help keep draken powers at bay. The goblin couple escaped the confines of the frost elf safehouse after the magical runes protecting it reset. This took roughly 5 years. After that the goblins and Cora their tiefling friend set up the first northern Enclave while Wan and Sarvin returned to the Mooncrest to move up the ranks. Sarvin ages slower as a tiefling so even though they started around the same time, Wan looks to have many years on his gold accented friend. During this time the goblins were tasked with keeping tabs on the Caluan faction, the leader was Daedra. They were actually visiting when a young baby came to the egg keeper with her frightened mother. Daedra stunted your powers until you came of age. Triss' mother gave up her previous life (as a moon priestess and deathscrier) to raise you away from people who would seek to hurt you.   Nyrmyn, Sossari, Narissa. He mentions when he looks up to shoreez he saw a tentacle faced woman sitting in her place. He thought his connection was gone but he can feel a glimmer of his goddess again. There is hope she is not dead at the hands of Vlox.   Norbac, Joseph, Bedlam. (Billium) Billium helps them escape through thieves tunnels. The syndicate has been around just as long as Barakek. Billium offers to work with Joseph on any future thieves guild he plans to run. Once he learns who Joseph is, he mentions how he knows Mortimer. Morty hurt people in his youth before he got control of his visions. He attacked his pregnant fiancee while having one of his episodes. He left after that as he was a danger to those he loved. She was able to be healed and the baby was barely saved. The surgery involved caused her to no longer be able to bear children. She feared her son might have the same tendencies as his father. Her first duty needed to be her people. She sent the boy away to be raised by one of her handmaidens. The card can be used to unlock one lock, but if you use it I then you lose your potential in with the members of the Syndicate. Billium gives Dex and rose gold shard attached to a necklace. He mentions how it once belonged to someone he loved. Morry would want him to have this.   Arygos, Sarvin, Moasis Sarvin knows he is trying to be good but you need to follow the mantra to join the Enclave, do right, no different in the dark nor light. Assumed Daedra was somehow involved. She helps tend to eggs born of Firefang embers. These dragonborn feel no drive to seek their parentage because they know their connection is to the dragon god, even if his name had been mostly forgotten they know of that connection from hatch. Arygos not knowing of Synapsid as well as having the longing to find his parents proves to Sarvin that he must be different than an incubated egg. Sarvin knows that Daedra began showing signs of dementia, most believe it is because her children were taken away, not just the eggs she warmed over embers but her naturally born children. (Pregnant like humans but their stomachs become a molten oven as an egg incubates inside them. The eggs hatched and the rest of the birth is like humans) The Merkaynians still check up on her and offer protection for her when she travels with a ready to hatch egg back to the Jags. She stayed strong after her first child Pathos was taken, he wore her emblem while he was outside playing and soldiers from the Zephyrn fleet took him away. It broke her when her son Arygos was taken by slavers from Myst, to be tossed around the work camps for years before finding yourself here. She tried to hold on but she really snapped when her third child, her daughter Phobos was taken by men from Skygarde. She quit the Enclave after that and just focused on trying to keep the dragonborn race going by tending to the eggs. After she cut all emotional ties, her husband left to return where he was born, (Kreios the Feared, a teal dragonborn chief (arctic) returned to his remote village in the north where he grew isolated and bitter.)   Yuri, Tursin, Quakur. The Archery Shop Yuri's Oathbow is waiting for him. The collapse snapped the bow in half but Quakur is able to fix it. Under the bedrock they find a world root. If vlox could corrupt it then he could infect the world tree. the last real chance to bring back kishar. Need to solve a puzzle to get back with the group. Utilizing bramble magic, gnome engineering and a werebear.     Act 2: The Mausoleum Maven Grimbind Thormund (Headless) Claire (Harrower) Numerous thralls   A crevice stands between you and the mausoleum. About 80 feet away You see incinerin call out to you as maven drags two bodies out of her base. Wan and Maggie of the Merkaynian Enclave. Incinerin melts Maggie's face as he pushes her into the pit below. Sarvin is shook as he asked her for her protective pyrecone bracelet. Tursin says incinerin would have just taken it off anyways. Incinerins wants to bring the currents gods and governments to its knees. Merkayne stands in the way of vlox, so incinerin will kill the leader of the Mooncrest Enclave. Incinerin blasts wan across the chasm. Wan gives his emblem of leadership to Sarvin. Sarvin does the merkaynian funeral rights as his spell causes glowing marigold to cover swans corpse Incinerin flies to the top of the city. Once maven is defeated her thralls fall. She leaves her piece if the synapse as he turns into a flurry of blue flags that looks like bats. The centre of the Mausoleum is a shrine to Merkayne that has been desecrated. In the centre in a pedestal made from roots. Merkayne built this city as a potential new Pit. After his brother corrupted his old one he abandoned the idea of locking people up and wished to bring people back to the light. The original Merkaynian Enclave was criminals seeking to atone. Maven works with Incinerin because she wants to bring back her late husband Bogdan. A legendary vampire and the first of his species. Bogdan was gifted his immortality using the puzzle cube of vlox. Her thralls begin to rise as a small figure walls his way towards the mausoleum.     Chains rattle along the ground as a small figure walks amongst the harrowers. Virgil the former bellhop, now judge jury and executioner. Wearing the skin of minos and using his venomous fangs as a war club. He also this his gavel Behind him are large ogres dragging chains with spikes. Dirt and debris are stuck on the spikes. Bones and corpses are hidden underneath the layer of brush. Virgil has been corrupted entirely by Vlox once the seal was broke. he is now the Warden of the Pit. There are many Pacurans, some you may seem innocent but Vlox and his whispers have convinced the Warden Chain is attached as it clamps itself permanently to the world root. As the chain is attached as the bell pyramid tolls loudly. The top floating pyramid rings loudly. Vlox is locked away in the pit of Gyaron. His power can only do so much from there. These chain will transfer his essence into the mainland, causing his corruption to seep further. Especially if he gets his hands on the world root.   Tursin leave to perform the ritual on Maggie to let her rest. He will meet up later.     Act 3: The Front Gate Addikus Windslayer His neck is glowing where a bite is visible. Each round his neck heal more and more as his manticore attacks. The Harrowers attach the chains. To a root now uncovered at the base of the city. Tayne (Ice) Tayne immediately spikes Nyrmyn in the chest. Narissa is mad that her griffins cant hear the whistle. Tayne slightly pauses at the mention of his sons but he is too far gone, taken by Vlox. Green undead lizardfolk accompany the stormblood. Addikus switches sides and doesn't know where he is. Asks if Barren blackcherry has returned from the battle of snowpeak yet. People are killed and judges guilt as their bodies are attached to the dragging chains of the Harrowing. Another few bells toll. (5 in total now) Virgil escapes after addikus turns and the gates begin to close. Quakur breaks a vial of raw essence over dahrill's brace. The metal reacts aggressively as it encompasses his entire body. The sun and moon stone react to him as the maegon metal magically reacts. A full shield guardian construct forms around the goblins. They are able to hold the door. Addikus looks thoroughly confused about all that's going on.   Benzimin says he will find a safe place for the Eastking and then meet up with you.   Act 4: The Grove Iris Begins to rain very heavily. A Harp plays deep in the grove, somewhere iris plays a song of her native Adrionne. Yuri recognizes this soft tune but every few notes she misses her string and it rings in your ears. You are attacked by creatures of the grove. They seem to react to the music. When not paying attention, triss will be pulled under the tree wall. Standing above her is a burned man with a hole in his chest. Vine grow out from his wounds as green fire come out of his eye sockets. Triss would not recognize this man except for a distinct similarity to the statue Sossari built in town. The corpse of Diggory has been tainted by Vlox and consumed by the wildfire that killed him. "Vlox hasn't been able get to your gods. I'm here to invite you to join his army." A fight breaks out as the others rush to get to triss. They are attacked by strangling vines to slow them down As they arrive, Diggory wraps his staff around Triss' leg as fire brings to wrap around. she yells out in agony as her wooden leg shatters into embers. Diggory (Burned) Wood woads.   A fight with tree guys ensues. The essence runs out on dahrill's armor and he is impaled by a tree man, dealing a severe wound. He is pulled away from the battle by quakur.   Iris is not the one causing the grove to attack. She is scared and alone and trying to play a song to remind her of home. She just cant remember the song as she tries to strum.   She is protected by a throne wall that is caused by very powerful chloromancy.   Only the song of her homeland will bring down the wall. Yuri the songbird can bring her back from despair.   Grove Guardian attacks   His staff reacts after his defeat. The storm was being controlled by him but he was not who sent it. The goddess of the oceans and sky brings a hurricane over Barakek. The wind pushes you around as debris makes the climb deathly to get to the next level.   Get synapse from iris       Act 5: The Sword Road Once on the sword road, a loud roar is heard as water rushes over the city causing rushing water to drench the road. A sea dragon skims the water as it attacks you. An undead Eelisma finds her way to shoreez. Vlox has had control over the ocean goddess since you first stopped her from flooding the world. She once was a good goddess, volatile but a force for gold in the world. At some point vlox was able to get his whispers into her ear. Sootha (Can be cleansed) Storm and water surges After she is bloodied, spot a looks to sossari and apologizes for what she has done. She cannot break free of his will on her own.   She says that she didn't mean to do what she did to shoreez. Vlox used her sisters trust and love to Rick the sky goddess. Sootha broke her sisters trust and unseated her, permanently taking her powers away. Sootha is clearly sad and conflicted. Aasimar are a blank slate when they die in the name of their god. It's a cycle of permenance. I broke that cycle. When the aasimar known as sossari died stopping me, Vlox used that moment to trick my sister goddess and send her down to earth, leaving her with memories that should have been wiped away to forget her former life.   The winds get stronger as you continue to fight. Set up for each person to strike her, knocking her closer to the edge. Each member gets a strike   As she leans over the edge Dex impaled her with his whip dagger. She leans over holding on, looking scared.   Hopefully sossari saves her and forgives her. Embraces with love which can purge the corruption. Sootha rests until the sky portal needs to open up.   Act 6: The Merkaynian Tower Knackle Knackle joined because he hates arygos and iona. Dragonlance Wounds to arygos are permanent Snerz (Wildfire druid) Arygos chooses to save him or not Get last synapse piece   Act 7: The Harrowing Incinerin Phoenix Kill virgil Stop phoenix after it kills bedlam and arygos They forge the synapse and synapsid is reborn to stop the phoenix Incinerin falls to his death The connection to vlox is already started Seven chains hold the chains to teh largest world root at the top of the tower Need to pull all seven at the same time It will kill this section of the world root but it will stop vlox from transferring Green energy covers the sky Pull the chains The tower begins to collapse Blow the griffin whistle Sootha hears it and uses her power to open a portal in the sky Griffins rain from the heavens to save the remaining refugees The owl griffins you saved on gyaron rescue you The energy surge of the tower took a lot out of you You pass out in the air You awake to a forest with sapphire rocks jutting out of the ground   Incinerin wakes up, broken and twisted, he lifts himself up and a orange glowing vlox symbol is carved into his chest, his eyes glwo with fire as he screams and burns everything around him as green fire erupts from him.     Only way to use the Ikarus stone is to have been blessed at the moon temple and sun temple. Mix of science and magic. Griffins too far away to hear the whistle. No help. Sootha sister and reveal shoreez is sossari Dahrill burns the essence to become a lightanium mech Attacked by Thormund headless and claire Triss leg gets destroyed Dahrill sacrifices his mobility to give triss a leg, prompting her connection to the two gods. They believe Iris is attacking to find that it is an undead diggory. Dex tries to stop vlox because he believes he is the heir. Tayne attacks then and flinches at his sons being okay. Billium gives him a. Necklace with a rose gold shard attached. No one is truly ever gone while we hold onto them. Bedlam and arygos die to the elder Phoenix They forge the synapses to form the spirit of synapsid to stop the Phoenix. Snerz is burned and uses wildfire magic. He is gone but can be laid to rest Yuri is tasked to find the first tree, one of the few trees still in the Caluan Desert. Its roots reach so far that it finds nutrients from outside the desert itself. Sootha says she is sorry to her sister. She is corrupted and unseated the sky goddess. Arygos let's chris die and sarvin sees Sarvin says he is not honorable. Vlox is taken over by vlox and sends out green fire to kill the city. Saved by shoreez, sun and moon, kishar, synapsid and dhara from the necklace. Flying harrowerers Tower collapse as they begin to fall. Blow the Griffin whistle as shoreez opens a portal in the sky. Griffin calvary fly down and save them. Fly back to eidon. Or calua         The puzzle block could burn the rest of its power to alleviate the influence over Moasis.   He will write to the party that the only way to stop the guards around the castle is to defeat Maven Grimbind. She is an immortal succubus but if you can defeat her then she must rest. Then her thralls will fade away into dust, leaving the main tower unguarded.   Moasis writes that many great calamities were only done to please Vlox and seek power. Great acts of evil give the god of corruption more power. Vlox whispered into the Dharan prophets mind to cause the Snowpeak Genocide. His puzzle box was the tool inadvertently used to cause the Decimation of Skygarde. Vlox seeks to unseat gods and have his followers take their place.   Moasis can write but not speak. He mentions how triss' mother was a priestess of the moon while her father was a warrior of the sun. Triss was born during a solar eclipse in the village of Agata. A woman helped care for the young half elf. Her powers had not yet manifested but Triss was a danger to herself and her parents. The local woman performed magic to inhibit Triss' dragon tendencies until she came of age and could control it. That woman's name was Daedra.   The Shatterbrand needs to get the other Synapse pieces.   Iris is next to Incinerin nowadays and hard to reach. She believes staying here and aiding the Kingfishers will keep the sovereign city of Adrionne protected.   It's time to make a move. To enter the castle you will need to kill Maven while Incinerin is distracted by his meeting preparations.   This means you must act on that tomorrow or stop maven without alerting the city.   Find the Mausoleum outside the city walls on a cliff.   Encounter: the Mausoleum   After maven is defeated and turns into a swarm of bats, maybe mentioning how Vlox will bring her husband back. She leaves the piece of the Synapse and her Kingfisher armor.   As you make your way back, still a day away from the meeting if the Roost, you find a disturbance in the centre of the human district.   A delirious Addikus stumbles through town. Where am I, this isn't Arboran.   He does not know what he has been doing, asks if they won the Battle of Snowpeak. Where is Barren Blackcherry.   He has been under Maven's control for years. He is wearing his Kingfisher armor but doesn't know anything about them.   Bring him into the hideout.   His memories begin to come back and he regrets what he has done. He apologizes for what he did and places another piece of the Synapse on the table. That makes 4. Sarvin says that with Arygos and Addikus on their side. They could attend the meeting and infiltrate while Arygos, Addikus and someone disguised as Maven enter the meeting.   Suddenly a loud roar is heard, a clear shriek of dragons. Addikus remembers another part of Incinerin's plan. The Phoenix eggs begin to heat up as flames cover the golden city. Addikus yells to run as the eggs starts to shake. You escape as the eggs explode. You roll into the street to see many other homes erupting in fire.   Incinerin stands atop the Merkaynian tower and yells to the citizens below. We have been attacked, the terrorists known as the Shatterbrand have   A dragon lands with the corrupted symbol of Synapsid, it breathes the purple gas that Ictic of the Bone Ogres was working on. He initially designed that for Lord Borigan but Vlox already took the mind of the Zephyr born Stormblood. Vlox took the formula for himself and revived this dragon.   The Phoenix finds the Pelican after the weredino incident.   He invites him to a gathering of the remaining generals the next night. Offers him the Seagull's position in the Roost. He notes that his generals are falling due to the annoyance the Shatterbrand. This meeting is scheduled for just before dusk, before Incinerin's nightly flyover. He will be in the basement of the tower all day tomorrow to prepare for the night's events.   When asked what he is doing, Incinerin simply declares he is changing the world, ensuring the greater good for all people.         Forms a wall around the city, tells people they cannot rely on the gods for help. Only he can guide them to peace. They need to toss away their gods and worship a new power, the power of vlox. Beam in the tower. The city begins to shift as it collapses into the ground. Incinerin was tasked to desecrate Vlox's brother's sacred city. He has made Barakek into the new Pit. Iris taken to the grove, introduce Billium, can get people out of the city with a thieves tunnel, wants henri to be a branch leader, save iris, sends town to kill shatterbrand, they hide, chase over roofs, must stop beam or he will sacrifice power to vlox, harrowing arrives, lead by Virgil wearing Minos' skin.

Yuri whistles the song of her homeland that she was trying to play on her harp. Sootha take control after being wounded and apologizes, confessing she stole the seat of her sister when sossari died. Instead of the aasimar coming back as a blank slate, vlox tricked shoreez into the body of her avatar and just gave her the memories of her previous life. Sootha was now the god of sea and sky. Once she is defeated the hurricane heading for Eidon subsides. Iris thanks yuri for saving her and remains on the sword road to rest. Climb the tower to find knackle at the top protecting the last world root The fight begins as a bell tolls. Iris hid but incinerin on his Phoenix attached the chain to the root on the sword bridge. Chris used the dragonlance to attack arygos, the others fought him and defended the roots from the attacking harrowers. Knackle is defeated as incinerin and his Phoenix almost kill the party. As incinerin is defeated, bedlam and arygos lay dying as their black and white energy begin to pull towards the synapse. Yuri and sossari hold their ground after triss is knocked unconscious As they weakened it with their attacks, the synapse released an astral projection of synapsid who took out the Phoenix The Phoenix erupts and the tower begins to collapse. Yuri had healing spirited people up as sossari blew the Griffin whistle given to her by Narissa who left them to take care of her people. Sootha uses her sky powers taken from her sister to open up a cloud portal in the sky so the griffins of Wildehail can fly down and save the party.
