Prologue
The Lonely Gallows ship, carrying Shamshir, Katori, Adira, Ceylon, and The Tinkerer's Assistant, among others, was violently sucked through a rift from the Seasonings World into The Liminal Plane (a rift dumping ground of sorts), and were fortuitously rescued by Captain Nika Simone. Looking for information on how to return home, the group traveled to The Great Reef, where those looking to study and safely travel through the rifts had convened.
Upon arrival, "The Academy," as it were, fell extremely short of the heroes' hopes; their special skill sets however, as if by providence, brought about great hope for Lockstitch and it's Academy. Shamshir, a pirate, trained recruits on how to fight on the open sea with his classic pistol & sabre combo, Katori patiently developed a form of rift-stitching using methods known for generations to her people, Adira cultivated recruits' natural-world curiosity through potions & brews, the Tinker's Assistant shared knowledge of powerful mechanisms and engines, and Ceylon, while not directly interacting with recruits, used her Siren's natural dominion over electromagnetism and signals to fit the Academy and Lockstitch with robust communication devices.
And so we begin our adventures with the first graduation of recruits trained to serve under Captain Nika on the first ship designed to travel rifts - The majestic HTML Wanderpus
Game #1: My Fleet Academia
Officer Joaquin (Eznho), Lio L. Levon (Lio Levon),

Academy and officially become a part of the HTML Wanderpus Crew.

by Nika Simone
The HTML Wanderpus Submarine, headed by Captain Nika, is the first Rift-faring Ship on the Liminal Plane. It's been tasked by Lockstitch's Admiral Taupe to investigate and seal dangerous rifts, and to ensure any hazardous/magical rift-related contraband is contained appropriately. To prepare recruits for their long and dangerous adventures into the unknown, the collection of stranded souls from Seasonings, now looking for big answers on the Great Reef, are invited to overhaul and lead The Lockstitch Academy. The adventurers' wisdom in Naval Combat, Mechanics, Survival, and Stitching
build the cornerstones of the Wandercrew's knowledge,
but will it be enough for what lies beyond the Rifts?

Final #1: The Fight
The party went straight to their physical final giving to them by Professor and Professional Pirate Shamshir Lightpurse. After a long winded introduction, he set them to their task of competing against one another through an obstacle course followed by one-on-one combat. While the party was going through their trials, another class of recruits were training with their pistols. Crew member Marcus Burnhardt had a terrible accident and shot Carica Busicon in the head with his test pistol. It was non-lethal; however, it did give Carica a severe concussion that they downplayed to continue taking their test.
Final #2: The Tinker
Second Stage of finals was given by “The Tinker” an autonomous robot that trains people on things like engineering and thinking on their feet. They had set a bomb up in the classroom telling our party it would detonate in three minutes, then left the room to perform a pop quiz on the class across the hall. After some quick thinking and studying by Lio L. Levon and Gemini it was decided Lio should be the one to dismantle the bomb. With seconds left on the clock and a coin flip decision, they disarmed their bomb.
Final #3: Survival
The class then went outside to take their survival tests with Professor Adira. She was acting as though she had suffered from a mighty wound. The party was being tested to both procure healing items from the nearby forest and to keep her safe from the roaming pack of wolves. With Gemini's knowledge of plant life, he easily spotted the mushroom needed for this task and brewed a rather disgusting potion to heal the professor. They instead gave the potion to Carica to heal their injury.
Final #4: Rift Stitching
The Final test was one of Rift Closing. Professor Catori had set up a small faux town with classmates acting as curious towns folk. The party did a great job distracting the townsfolk away from the suspected Rift location in the bottom of a well. They sent Lio, their smallest member, down the well to sew up the Rift and despite letting a snake sneak out, Catori believed they did a good enough job to pass.

In exchange for his allowing the Lockstitch to be active in Pastura, the officers will take King Reedi to his doctor, Nicholas A. Torch on Beacon Point while the crew will remain in Pastura and ensure King Reedi’s medical confidentiality amongst his subjects. Upon arrival, the town was under attack by a new creature called “Redcaps” The party destroyed the redcaps and sealed the rift present, but in the process Private Squishy, Administrative Officer Krieg Vernix's companion, was pulled through a rift and lost. As the party turned to leave, a mysterious figure wearing the skin of a Redcap fell out of a rift -she was taken to the Med Bay.
The six-eyed, four-armed, two-legged, extra-skinned, entirely too large Frog King of Pastura. A very stubborn man who has to stick to his guns whether he has changed his mind on the subject or not. Wears a long cape and crown. Has two smaller arms that come from his upper chest that function as human hands while still sitting or hopping like a frog. Appaaaaaaaarently, he is very sexy. “Who knew?”
The constantly talked over Advisor of King Reedi. The crew took a great liking to Peanut, the average sized cat with orange fur, small and seemingly timid creature.

A skillful Doctor studying mushrooms as medicine. The tall and gaunt humanoid English Spaniel gave the party a book titled “The Bitter Gift” as a reward.
Large, fleshy creatures with many arms ending in claws that seem to scoop the flesh and blood off their targets. As they consume blood, they grow much larger, granting them more abilities, and the sack on their head fills and pulsates with blood, thus giving them their name “Redcaps.”
A human man wearing a mask that looks like a human face but also a multi-faceted mirrored disco ball. He is deeply dedicated to his family and very chatty. Like the HTML Wanderpus, he is also researching the rifts.

The Captain managed to get everyone clear and the crew made their escape into the ocean.

The world was not as safe as Laurel believed, for Starlight Group followed the ship into a deep swamp and attacked on sight, destroying the ship’s cannons. The Captain, Tea, and crew snuck onto the Starlight ship, saved the long-lost Private Squishy
and destroyed it.
and destroyed it.

They return to find Bobert showcasing The Lockstitch Academy property to a family of Otterkin. The Great Reef gets attacked by the Redcap Queen, but thankfully the crew manage to loosely stitch up the rift around it. They go to Nicholas Torch and ask for his assistance against Redcaps, and in a stroke of unexpected competence, the party manages to build a Redcap Tracker fairly easily. In the distance, giant warships appear through a previously unknown rift.

Captain Nika Simone, Senior Officer L.E.T.O. (Leto),
Officer Sauma Stein (Lurid), Officer Krieg Vernix (Toast)

While searching for Timothy and Ezekiel the Snailsman, the crew tries their hands at political aid!
Lio Levon's Retelling of the mission
Most of the Crew needed to stay at home base to keep the redcaps at bay (Which went successfully during the session!) while 4 crew members went to as many lands as possible to help them and gain allies. Port Barter, North and South Pastura, Salt and Sand, the Avery Archipelago, and Yoke needed help
We did not have time to get to all of it, but we managed to cover Port Barter, North and South Pastura, and Salt and Sand.
In Port Barter, we saved as many folks as we could from the volcano laying waste to the city. Krieg found and rescued one of the fairies from the Snowblind shenanigans! Seventeen is their name, and is now in the city with the Wandercrew and their fellow fairy, Three. Isaac also found some interesting books in the crumbling library there which may be of use! In South Pastura we were able to help The Riverman and our friendly Otter, Tincture, by more or less keeping an invasion point of Redcaps from being accessed. Disguising the three giant rocks around the hole there, along with Joaquin's fancy illusions, it looks like 4 Coo'Klas have made their home by the hole and the Redcaps want noooone of that XD
We also got a scroll which turned out to be info for a crew member that, until we read it there, forgot they even existed! turns out that paper was taken from The Word Tree! :notlikexeta: In North Pastura, we attended a feast hosted by King Reedi. Moth Chief, Ringleader, and Peanut was there as well. Joaquin's fancy wine proved a bit too fancy, and Peanut did something unexpected. He TALKED. And man he just TORE King Reedy a new one with his words before storming out. Lio L. Levon and Joaquin had to work together to keep King Reedy from drinking deep of a Depresso Espresso, and we were successful! Krieg also bet that the Ringleader can beat Reedy's muscular guard in an arm wrestling contest and won the bet! Reedy is on our side as well for the coming shenanigans.
In Salt and Sand, the group found the craftsman were being forced to work building saws and various wood-cutting implements by Redcaps, lead by a Wandercrew Traitor, Tsura! Isaac showed off his sniping skills and cleanly picked out the Redcaps no problem, while Krieg+Squishy and Joaquin captured the traitor.
Lio L. Levon almost did something terrible upon seeing the traitor and more so, seeing the tool she personally used to keep the crafters in line. Lio was able to compose himself however since we intend to arrest her proper.
Timothy showed up and attempted to take the traitor back with him, but upon seeing how swift the retaliation was, decided it wasn't worth the effort. Sadly we couldn't get to the Avery Archipelago, or Yoke, but we did the best we could! Turns out the baddies are trying to tear down the Word Tree! It's currently encased in a Disco-Ball like bubble protecting it, and we gotta find a way to deal with that tomorrow!

The Fight (11) Fighting was very much one of Midnight's specialties however this new world made many of his usual strategies more difficult as he was used to more control over his shadow magic. This world's rules however made everything flow a bit differently. Much of his training was done with the sword and finetuning himself to these new rules but even as the finals rolled around he was simply a passable fighter, holding his own in the one-vs-one fight while the obstacle course challenged him some but caused no significant issues. It was valuable to giving him the proper experience he needed to begin functioning at his best. The Tinker(129) This was the test Midnight was dreading the most. He never considered himself particularly technical, more relying on simpler tools, his magic and physical prowess. He was all but convinced that he was going to fail this test until he got a good look at the device. The moment he set eyes on it however, memories of home came back to him. A group of alchemists called The Nutcracker Family would sometimes stop by the village to sell potions and explosives to the hunters. The youngest daughter, Nilly, would often play pranks on the kids of the village using small yield bombs more akin to firecrackers then proper explosives. Of course a young Midnight would end up a victim of this several times and chase after her each time. After a couple years however they had begun to be more friendly with each other, with Midnight occasionally observing her projects. He didn't quite understand every aspect of it and likely could never replicate himself but the way the bomb in front of him was put together reminded him of Nilly's methods. After tens of seconds of careful examination he put together what each connection was and disarmed the device with a few flicks of his claws. Survival (11) The key to survival is knowledge. Years of living in a mountain village, hunting monsters and wandering the woods had served Midnight well. This land was not his own however. Everything was unfamiliar. New. All he had to work with beyond his honed instinct were the lessons of the academy. Then there was the escort portion of the task. He was used to working with other hunters so more than a couple times he overextended and gave chase which left Adira vulnerable. He'd quickly catch on to the problem however and return to Adira, eventually resorting to protecting her with a small wall of shadow (Shield) to fend the wolves off. Finding the means to treat Adira largely fell unto others in his group though when given a description of what was being sought he was able to point out several possible paths which aided in the test's completion. Rift Stitching (11) The rift stitching was largely uneventful for Midnight with him being responsible primarily for keeping watch for townsfolk in the immediate surroundings of the rift while one member dived in to seal it and the others drew others to the bar to party. The one slip was when the diver's tether broke, requiring Midnight to think fast and lash his shadowwhip onto the broken tether to pull them to safety.
