It's just a jump to the left...
We begin with an annoyed Shug-wai at this sort of war meeting.
Hops and Pelk pretending to be charmed
Her request is for us to "cease this violence" We also had some honorable request that I don't remember
"We're more concerned with what you're doing in the afterlife"
"Would you take a powerful member of the resistance and leave Immelion alone?"
"You're offering an exchange for Immelion?"
Eles offers Richard instead of Manny, who was trying to be the one traded for Immelion. I don't remember what she said when she left but she disappeared in radiant energy and in her place was a froghemoth.
Dara gets the final blow! "bits and pieces slough off" gross.
Eles immediately leaves for the defensive lines, worried about Yanef. Something about the opposite direction from ourselves.
As we run through the woods, we see plants that belong in the woods, but they're in the wrong season
We try to stealth into the camp, but we all fail. Merrli and Eles get bags put on our heads, Manny and Dara escape, until they also choose to be bagged.
(in my notes here, I wrote "time jump" BEFORE it was formally revealed?!)
We meet Yanef, she is with a snake person (I think), a dwarf and 2 elves. Yanef looks incredibly surprised.
"What's with the bags Yanef"
She asks who we are, tries to bind us with vines, which we escape.
9 MONTHS HAVE PASSED!
Religion check: not the Raven Queen's tactics, something "fucky-wucky" Shugwai, probably to blame.
They sent messengers, but they never returned.
Commander Ari, salutes to Yanef
Uprising in the grippli village, Miter Jantz mentioned it was not a safe port anymore.
Killing Elsinore was news to Yanef, she's elated.
WE LEVEL UP!
There's been 9mos of constant skirmishing.
In the morning, we ask about the Affgroth weapon. Affgroth is still kind of in the resistance's control, but are lost without their leadership.
The purpose of the resistance now is to survive, "We've lost hope"
Status on the transportation circles-they're back where we left them.
Manny can't call Hops on the blood phone.
I send him a message, "It's Eles, where can we find you? What's happened since we left?"
Response: "Hey Ellie, in the mausoleum, I mean, nothing's really happened since you left, we started putting a couple of bricks back"
Commune 3 Questions:
1. Do we find a way back in time? A: No
2. Is there a way to get them to us? A: Yes
3. Will the road bring us back to Hops? A: Yes
I re-summon Guatir (the 4th)
Evil beyond the wall, remnants of evil
pervasive neutrality
some 28 skill check: Nothing appears particularly out of place, nothing specifically weird, but it feels off.
Manny Nat 2o survival: gained land through fighting, lots of craters, mountain-ish thing wasn't there 9 months ago. Catches his eye.
Lots of snake weaponry
Uprising among grippli.
We decide to walk back to the mausoleum. We convince Yanef, after a few tries, to come with us. I think I remember Eles saying something about needing her.
Eles casts planar ally to help the army we left behind, just in case.
Looks like the mausoleum was rebuilt. Still winter
another message, "We're safe and 9mos ahead of you, Maybe this will be useful. In one week, grippli uprising.
Hops, "If I make the same walk, will I get to the future? hide book under 10th brick. Farewell.
The book is some kind of diary, "The uprising has been stopped" "haven't seen you guys, it's been 3 months."
Message: "Don't know if walking will bring you back, too risky. 2 months, push attack from Western Front. Hide Hammer, last stand at Shadowed Sanctum"
"I respond in book. Our forces are ready. Don't tell Manny, if this makes a paradox, I won't make it out. I love y'all. Goodbye"
Other ways to deal with gods instead of killing them?
"We did not walk, we stated, never left this space. War Hammer under 1st tree behind mausoleum. We pushed attack, the woods are free. Scroll is on the next page. It was a fun learn. Don't mind the ripped pages in my past attempts. Send messages if you can. I know this is costing you. Stay safe. Keep my brother safe. If you don't I'll kill you.
And now we wait.
Message: "If this is truly the last time, Manny tells you he loves you. Tell everyone we will fight like hell for them
A: "If I can, I'll get them 3 out. But I might need to stay behind for sending, if you need anything else"
Eles will cast Hero's Feast for the first time!

Social
Family Ties
Eles has a large family, all members of the Raven Queen's temple to some degree. Her family structure is on based on generations. Everyone in her parents' generation are referred to as "mother", "father" or "parent". All those that are in her generation are her siblings, referred to as "sister", "brother", "sibling" etc.
Religious Views
Acolyte and Grave Cleric of the Raven Queen. The Raven Queen is the Goddess of winter, fate, and the transition to death.
Social Aptitude
She's spent so long in her home and temple complex that she has little practical experience dealing with people in the outside world.
Despite this, she has a keen awareness of people and their motives. She has an adeptness to animals, as she grew up in a forest. Eles especially loves ravens.
Mannerisms
Eles is quiet, but holds people's gaze for almost too long.
