The Empire Group Docks at Istrus, the City of Flight & Meet Scarlet

Expedition

The Empire Group docks at Istrus, the City of Flight, in order to buy a new airship. They leave the skybarge they rented from the Florium Trade Guild here to be returned, and run into a half-Fae named Scarlet who can only speak in broken Common, as well as his fox friend named Radigan. Merlin also declares that he is too old to continue traveling with the party and leaves. Everyone meets the heads of the Enhancer Guild of Istrus. It is here that they buy a gargantuan military-grade airship

The Empire Group docks at Istrus, the City of Flight, in order to buy a new airship. The city has changed much in the last 20 years since Doc and Leo first visited. Istrus is now open to the public, but still swarming with the Empire's soldiers and guards due to it staying an important manufacturer of military airships and magitech.   The party leaves the skybarge they rented from the Florium Trade Guild here to be returned, and run into a half-Fae named Scarlet who can only speak in broken Common, as well as his fox friend named Radigan. Scarlet tries to explain that he is searching for people to help them kill a purple dragon from their home plane of existence--to which Doc agrees as long as they help the party on their quest first.   Merlin soon declares that he is too old to continue traveling with the party and leaves. Everyone meets the heads of the famous Enhancer Guild of Istrus, Panthea and Olus. The two teach Doc and Leo how to create miniture Eldtrich Cannons in return for their help finishing the gargantuan military-grade airship the party decides to buy (with Scarlet and the Emperor's money). During the two days they spend working on the ship, Doc also helps Panthea finish the odd homonculus-like metal creature that she spent months trying to figure out for the Empire's military.
