Extremely wicked, shockingly evil, and vile.
Bastard son of Mortimer.
25 as of 212
Mother is a Wood Elf named Hilda Dundy
Father is Mortimer Skytracer
FAMILY TREE NOT AVAILABLE
Hildee was just your caretaker. Morty met Crimson Queen Alyssum of Adrionne when she was living with the rich Ducard family in Clarion. Morty was banned from Skygarde because of this relationship. Morty was always drawn to the dagger so he took it. He lived with his love for a few years and they got pregnant. Morty lost control and stabbed Alyssum when she was pregnant with you. He left the next day after Hildee healed you. He left you the dagger in hopes you could quell the demons.
Morty is planning to take the throne to get you your shard. He reveals that he is not actually the next in line which mean you are royalty but not in line technically to be king. Morty found out years later that his sister Ruby did not die in the storm surge, she survived and later met Billium in the adult life. They have a child that Billium is secretive of to protect them. Unfortunately Ruby died of the Black Fog many years later but they have someone who would be around 30.
The shards are making Skytracer's relive their ancestors war so that's why they are in constant bloodlust. Potentially putting them back together could stop the mental illness. 1 with Iona, 2 with Pyrus given by a thief at the Decimation of Skygarde, 3 was in Billium's vault, he had this because his wife was a Skytracer, 4 is in the Skygarde vaults, only accessible by the Highking
Dhara officially has the domains of Diplomacy, Liberation and Craftmanship. Diplomacy being his main domain, the Church of Dhara has shifted over the centuries since Dhara rose over the final battlefield. Although many people pray to him for his specific domains, Dhara has become a catch all for many worshipers, which allows his domain to spread as the following of the church does. Not only has there been wars in the last five centuries in the name of Dhara with the intent to purge other religions, the Church has also pushed the narrative that the old gods are faltering and Dhara is not simply a god of Diplomacy, but he is the one true god of the Black Ocean.
Dex worships Dhara less due to his domains and more due to his family being heavily involved in the wars in Dhara's name. Dex actually almost avoided the Church as he was raised by a false mother from the Crimson Elves. This would have been the choice of his mother, who was wounded by Dex's father because Dhara is allegedly speaking to him and showing visions, driving him mad. Unluckily for his birth mother, the adoptive parent Hildee was one of many elves who have converted to the Church of Dhara in the times of strife between the aelves and gaul.
Triss met Dex who was another half elf. He didn't have that green of skin but his ears were indistinguishable. He had a great conversation with Triss as he is studying ancient runes around the island. He had a very noticably charasmatic smile.
Moira cleared Ralf after he babbled on further by using a detect thoughts spell. Moira ran into Dex on her way to save Triss, he was weaving through the crowds watching Triss in handcuffs.
Went to his house, Blimbo's wife was killed in the soundproof room where Blimbo played his violin. The killer kicked the door open from the inside. The shoe print was fairly small, seemingly much smaller than Blimbo's. Out back you find a shimmy from a thieves kit hiding in the grass.
Caught Nikolaus the Pitboss of the Casino stealing from the register, you arrested him and searched his pockets. He had thieves tools missing the shimmy. He admitted to trying to steal from the blacksmith a few days earlier but the sounds of a dying bird scared him off. This was actually Blimbo playing his violin. His feet were much too large to match the murderer's footprint. He said he had suspicions og it being Ralf of the Gyaron Gazett because he had been reporting on murders before they were public knowledge.
Moira did one last check upstairs where a skylight was pried open with a dagger. Ralf hinted Gorbashav was boasting about the heinous murders he discovered. The orc was excited about how the people were killed. Moira entertained his lizard man theory so Triss could take his boot to compare to shoe print at Blimbo's. On her way over the intimidating Gorbashav intercepted her as he was hanging around the crime scene. Triss went into the bookshop instead where she found a dead Gizomo.
Gorboshav entered and Moira switched on her invisibility after finding clues about the killer. A dagger pierced his back and it wasn't from a tall person. She was able to dance past the 3 guards while invisible.
Tayne, 4 guards holding Triss and Moira met at the Church of Shoreez, where they found bloody wooden statues with carvings on the faces covered in blood. At the front altar, Archibald's head was crushed in and gray matter was spread on the pews. He was murdered minutes before due to his body heat. Tayne could not let Triss go but no longer believed it was her.
Triss faints at the horror in front of her. Moira hookshots to the roof, Tayne handcuffs himself to Triss as she wakes up and they go searching through the city. Moira finds a hidden rosegold dagger with a gold blade within the tree of Shoreez. Triss and Tayne see Dex running along the Aquaduct.
Moira chases after him and lightning whips Dex as he crosses the river. This surge of electricity knocks him out and scars his body from his feet to his chest. Tayne arrests him and clears Triss.
As you planned how you were going to get into the prison, a ship of prisoners arrived with Dex being chained up, he winks at Moira.
Thunderous footsteps could be heard as Lord Thormund marched his black and gold army towards the Pit.
The three enter the central tower and are greeted by a bellhop named Virgil. He is super pleasant and quirky but kicks prisoners in the shin when they speak to him. He takes the trio down to the second level where a large multi head snake named Minos has its body wrapped around a pillar. Dex has just been sentenced and sent to the lowest level of the Pit.
Triss is judged to have lied to get her job as she had ulterior motives to help Dias. She was convicted of fraudulence and sent to the eighth level. Moira uses her mind ring to only allow Minks to read certain thoughts. She shows enough of her former life to be sent to the tenth level. This area is first those to betray a government, lord or guest.
On separate levels, Moira and Olivier, Triss and Morty all hear explosions coming from the upper levels.
The roof explodes as ballistas shoot chains down from the floor above. Black and gold clad men slide down as the party can see inmates running towards the lifts and climbing. The prison gates have been broken open by Thormund.
Now Pyrus, Jericho, Thormund and Borigan were all together to fight against the new Royal Pacuran Navy.
Moira super saiyan lightning javelin and then landed like featherly ironman.
blackguards defeated as Claire's ship sailed away with Jericho, Moasis and Dex.
Typhon goons show up led by Claire, Dex, Dimitri and Fimbulwinter.
Tensions rise as Claire and Quinn realize they have the same letter. Darryl greets Claire happily as well.
Massive amounts of cannon fire can be heard outside, all the leaders have gathered here to make a last stand. the battle rages as you try and prevent the Fleet of the Stormblood to get the hands on the artifact.
Sossari figures it out the Flint Oly Lancashire is an anagram for Henri Clifton Sallya.
The tomb opens to reveal Henri's bones covered in essence from the leaking phylactery.
Moira and Arygos try to take the bones but this causes Henri immense pain Sossari tells the ladies they are his daughter and Clair is furious because she hates him. Quinn is confused as she is captured by Claire.
Claire threatens Fimbulwinter on darryl so as he is running in the hidden crypt, Henri shoots his pet to save him from pain and torture.
Triss hides outside as the others try to negotiate their escape. Claire just wants the artifact for her boss.
Henri touches the phylactery and feels it pulling him in. He cannot fight it and is siphoned back into his skeleton, leaving the party.
Arygos stays in the tomb and the others leave.
Once they are outside then Arygos throws the artifact just short of the door. Triss hears someone else marching up the stairs.
Arygos kicks the artifact out to Moira as Sossari makes an earth bubble around them.
Fimbulwinter attacks Arygos, but making him berserk and cursing him with lycanthropy.
Claire covers behind two goldguards as Dex misses Triss with his whip chain. Moira and Sossori can sense power in the artifact.
Arygos takes a beating for a while.
Dex takes the moment to betray Claire and stab her in the back. He declares he is the son of captain Mortimer and is here to complete his father's mission.
The dirt bubble drops as the magic girls disintegrate the priest Dimitri. Borigan and Pathos arrive to see the devastation from the artifact.
Sossari thunder shocks Arygos’ axe as he kills Fimbulwinter, absorbing some of his soul into the axe.
Joseph orders the goldguards back to the ship, as the highest ranking member of Thormund's army they must obey even though he killed their captain. They leave.
Arygos falls to a blackguard as Sossari attacks and misfires, hitting the dying Arygos, tried and Joseph team up on Claire who is injured and furious with Dex.
Dex runs behind the statue and breaks a small gem on the back of the statue, this item was what was causing the magic block.
Triss and Moira turn to the Zephyrn stormblood and his bodyguard. Now both can enter the tomb and use magic.
Sossari runs to get in the way as the blackguard swings at arygos again. As she does this she feels an energy flow through as small buds bloom into leaves at her shoulder part of her wings. This slight transformation distracts the guard as a whip chain dagger carves through the attackers sternum. Joseph walks out from behind the Oceanus statue and pulls his dagger blade back.
Moira waits for the phylactery to recharge as Borigan accepts they don't have control of this situation. Pathos now commands the retreating gold guards to stand against the party.
Borigan and Pathos leave as the final two goldguards are fighting. They are quickly handled now that the party can use magic again.
Arygos is revived as the group stand there in disbelief. Moira is holding the phylactery in her hand.
The artifact recharges as Moira places it against her helmet, powering her Helm of Teleportation beyond it's normal limits. She looks to the group and begins to glow. A smile crosses her face as she begins to separate. “I killed Snerz” she says bluntly as she teleports away from the friends she had adventured with for months.
An injured Claire begins walking towards the group, looks to them and tells then that she is tired of fighting.
Sossari offers her a place on their team and she stops to consider it, Triss then informs her that she was just going to shoot her in the back. This confused Claire as the team was clearly in disagreement. She walked away from the party so Triss blasted her with a fireball in one shoulder as Joseph, looking to cover his betrayal, stabbed his whip dagger into her other shoulder. She fell to the ground.
Session 0 - 5E, 211th year. 1st day of Firstfrost.
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."
Thormund lay on the ground spitting up blood. Maximus looked to Ivan, who hated Thormund, Maximus nodded as Ivan took out his cutlass and decapitated Thormund.
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. I hereby gift you the Imperius Trident as a thank you for what you have done for us. I'm sending the remaining mudguard back with you to Eidon, Mako will be waiting there for you, we have something special for you to see".
Before you set sail from Hydri, the remaining stormbloods catch up to you at the Gobsnapper, which Izil, Skalden, Franny and Stefan has sailed here from Ios after you guys teleported away.
Each one of them thanks you for your heroic actions

You sail to Eidon with the mudguards. 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. Mako handed each of you 3000 gp within sacks, this is the reward Maximus promised you for assisting in the peace brought to Pacura.
Mako tells you that the Eidon Stronghold is now yours to do with as you wish. your crew as well as anyone you recruit for your settlement will live and work here. They will assists you on a ravens notice if you are far away. you can build better walls, new shops with discounts to you, you can store items here, customize your rooms, raise taxes, build fleets or capture enemies. Everything you may want can be purchased with your rewards. I'm going to go build a shrine in the area you designate the graveyard, I never found my mother's body after the tsunami but I hope i can honor her hear on my new home.
a few patrons have already taken up camp here as they think of you as good people.
Bedlam and Sossari begin talking to the batgoblins, bedlam introducing herself to each one and sossari asking who knew snerz.
You talk to nug who knows nothing and then suds who mentions merz still lives in the blindbat jungle. 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.

Harrowing on Pacura.
Dragonkin were formed when Synapsid died.
outside of crinian, Addikus meets with them in secret and tells them stories of the ancient dragon Synapsid and those who worshipped him. They became the first dragon kin when the god fell to the 6 heroes of man, these were slaves freed by the attacking dragons. The story goes that Synapsid accepted his fate because he knew those 6 heroes would balance the world on their own without his meddling. He attacked them on a path along the Firefang Jags. He sent many of them crashing to their graves at the base of the mountain. The 6 heroes defeated the last dragon and it turned into the synapse to await another time when a little chaos was needed to balance the scales.
He then tells them that the High King Orion Skytracer and Prince Damarrus were killed when they left Arboran by a dragon that was enraged. Maximus is dealing with his own threat of animals attacking civilians as their skin burns emerald. The High throne of Galfin was empty for the first time in over 200 years.
Addikus asks the party to finish their contract the Merkaynians gave them and return the ancestral weapon to Addikus' home of Arboran. He says only in the village of Nak can he complete the ritual to bring back the God of order and chaos.
Maybe then the world can settle back to peace.

Finding another key amongst purple moths similar to the ones you found in Gyaron.
The last key is in the dwarven barracks where the Red Heron stayed. They find orders from the Red Heron to the Butcherbird telling them to mobilize their armies on the target.
The party concurs that this must mean the Capitol of Arboran. The Kingfishers seek power and wish to take the East.
The make their way into the room being used as a conduit to control the dragons. The purple glow corrupts a symbol of Synapsid.
Arygos can take the lightning and destroys the totems as Bedlam gathers some more crystals.
The party moves forward, sossai hiding back because she is exhausted from her fever.
You enter a room used for experiments.
You see the Cross brothers strapped to chairs and in bad shape. They have been tortured.
As arygos frees the second brother, he hears a low grunt from the back. Attached to a chair by spikes is Pathos.
His brother gives Arygos a necklace that was their mothers, it has the emblem of the Merkaynian Enclave.
Rayne and Grai suggest the others should leave while commenting how they don't think they could do what Arygos has to do.
Arygos gives back his brother hammer but Pathos immediately gives it back, as a gift this time. The brothers look into each others eyes as Pathos whispers, do it.

Talk down some wolves.
Meet Maven Grimbind, Wegelia and Addikus Windslayer.
1 hour until sundown and Triss attacks the enemy troops, starting the siege early.
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.
Arygos, Dex and Bedlam held back Blackcherry's army once it arrived. 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.
Windslayer ranted on how gods meddle too much, he traces the corrupted Synapsid symbol into his castle using Sossari's totems.
The symbol froze the party as Maven released the magic months to neutralize the partys magic.
Windslayer took the dragonlance and destroyed the egg.
Black flame surged into Arygos and white into bedlam. Causing some discoloration.
They awoke still feeling paralyzed from the spell.
They are in the cell beneath Hedgespire.
The Red Heron walks down and says how dragons are evil and the Kingfishers will bring order back to the world.
He tosses you a white crystal and tells you this is the last time he saves you. Reveals himself to be Chris.
Bedlam can use the crystal against Arygos.
A spectral Pathos appears, the last soul sucked into Arygos by his axe. Pathos breaks the chains of the door.
You are in the jail cell and feel very malnourished. It has been longer than a day since you were betrayed. Christopher offered you his assistance 6 days after you were caught in the blast that killed Synapsid. After revealing himself, he promised that the next time he sees the team, he will treat them as an enemy.
Sossari tries heat metal, bedlam breaks her own wrist, arygos is knocked out, triss blasts a fire bolt at Joseph's chain, after a couple failed attempts Sossari just turns into a mouse to escape.
After Chris walks up the stairs, you feel a rumble shake the entire structure. Rocks begin to crumble from the ceiling. The stairs get blocked by rubble. As the shake settles you see green acid flowing through the cracks in the rocks.
The party gets their things and finds Wegelia dead in the cell next to them. In her hand is a letter to her late husband Woxbood hoping she is buried in the ground so she can decompose and be one with nature. Sossari molds earth to find dirt and buries the bramble dwarf. The acid is filling the room. Sossari uses her Cape of flying and triss just runs through the acid.
Dex holding up Arygos and Bedlam find a chest of gold and items. After looting Triss uses her belt of hill giant strength to break a section of the wall attached to a drainage pipe. Sossari molds earth so Arygos can fit through.
The party finds a great cedar tree with purple orchids growing around it, this is the symbol of Shoreez. This tree has used this natural cavern to absorb water and the peak of its foliage to gather sunlight as it peaks through the surface. Sossari receives a vison from Shoreez. She is happy that her emissary is gathering a following but she needs her to destroy the Exodect statue in Crinian or a great calamity will befall Eidon.
The group climbs the tree as the acidic groundwater makes it's way behind them.
Triss throws Arygos limp body up towards the ceiling twice. The first time he impacts the ceiling, damaging it. The second time he bursts through the ceiling and light shines down from the sky. The rest climb the tree.
After you make your way passed the acidic ground water, you enter the city of Arboran from a the hole in the surface. You see the adult black dragon circling the skies and melting the stone brickwork of the castle with its powerful acid breath.
You also see Aero storming the castle with the help of more werewolves. Aero takes out the rest of the grunt Kingfishers with the help of Bedlam and the Cross brothers. Aero set out a call in the night of the full two moons and the wolves expended their energy to rally to their Alpha. 6 days of travel and they made it here without a fae crossing.
The Cross brothers escaped when Addikus betrayed the team.
Rayne wants to reestablish the Cardinalhood but without the corruption Barren Blackcherry brought with him. Rayne seeks to invite Aero and his hunters to help him bring order back to the Mooncrest. He will help rebuild Greywyn and also wants to be officially affiliated with the Shatterbrand. Triss mentions they should rebrand from Blackcherry's team name.
Grai is a man without a home, he still seeks to fight even after his military record was forcibly ended years ago. Grai offers his sword to help lead the mercenaries of Eidon.
It is revealed that the Red Heron Christopher Knackle, the Mockingbird Addikus Windslayer and the Bloodhawk Maven Grimbind all escaped when the Fenris Tribe and black dragon stormed the castle. The trio was saved when Maven revealed herself to be a succubus and flew off with the leaders. They were aiming towards the Vargen Swamplands province.
Rayne fears that they are regrouping with their leader with the Capitol of Skygarde in their sights. The throne sits empty and all of Galfin now knows this.
Grai points out that he noticed Addikus had fang marks on his neck.
He reveals it has been 6 days since you were incarcerated. Aero was able to stop a transport wagon before the other kingfishers could escape.
Triss tasks Grai with searching the Eidon library for any hints on how to kill a succubus.
Triss and Bedlam decide to try and speak to the dragon sitting atop the melted Hedgespire.
Triss repeats some synapsi she has heard but the dragon does not respond. Bedlam unknowingly speaks its language as the ridges on her horn glow bright white. She can communicate with the dragon who reveals his name to be Blazareth.
It understands the Synapsi language. It will thank them for saving it by acknowledging their presence. He mentions how the Kingfishers are just a human reaction to the problem. The dragons were awoken to counteract something much more pressing. He is unaware of why but knows that dragons are immortal beings of chaos, they would only be used to balance an extreme shift in power and oppression. He is hesitant to say the reason for the reawakening is to fight the humans as they came into power because of the reawakening, the kingfishers did not cause it. Alas he no longer can hear Synapsid's murmurs within his mind. He can still sense remnants of the dragon god with the world as order and chaos rock the scales. He slightly gestures towards bedlam's horns. He informs you that he will fly north to the Firefang jags where the last dragon was slaughtered. It was a dragon safe haven and he hopes to rally his kind there.
At this point the world knows that the High King and his son were killed by dragons, this takes a more sinister turn when you realize that Addikus was the last person to see them alive and he commanded with the faction who could enrage dragons.
You take a long rest in Arboran. Over the next 6 days you travel by cart to Crinian without any resistance. Once you arrive you begin to resupply. Mundan has taken over Gaffo's shop he speaks very simple and thanks you for your patronage.
Triss and Joseph check out the magical Trinkets store and run into Swirler the raven folk. After some haggling and debate, he tells you that you two are terrible customers. As you bickered he noticed the Merkayne Brand on Joseph's forearm. Joseph slits his throat to hide the secret. Triss and Joseph take the items he was showing them and leave. Dex throws Swirler into the river.
Bedlam and Sossari are scoping out the courtyard with the statue Shoreez requested them to destroy. Ridra the goblin librarian is worshipping her deity there. The duo try and get her to leave but she confesses she has two things she lives by, her god and her library. At this point Triss and Joseph arrive and Triss asks for a book. The trio remaining at the statue begin setting up oil and barrels and step back. They toss a lantern as sossari ignites it mid air with produce flame. The statue ignites as the flame spreads to the barrels. The statue explodes violently, setting ablaze the church to exodect as well as the roof of the library that Triss is in.
Ridra heard this and runs out, screaming hysterically in sadness. Triss quickly finds an atlas of the Vargen Swamplands and escapes. Dex hides behind a building as bedlam and sossari jump in the river.
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.
Bastard son of Mortimer.
25 as of 212
Mother is a Wood Elf named Hilda Dundy
Father is Mortimer Skytracer
FAMILY TREE NOT AVAILABLE
Hildee was just your caretaker. Morty met Crimson Queen Alyssum of Adrionne when she was living with the rich Ducard family in Clarion. Morty was banned from Skygarde because of this relationship. Morty was always drawn to the dagger so he took it. He lived with his love for a few years and they got pregnant. Morty lost control and stabbed Alyssum when she was pregnant with you. He left the next day after Hildee healed you. He left you the dagger in hopes you could quell the demons.
Morty is planning to take the throne to get you your shard. He reveals that he is not actually the next in line which mean you are royalty but not in line technically to be king. Morty found out years later that his sister Ruby did not die in the storm surge, she survived and later met Billium in the adult life. They have a child that Billium is secretive of to protect them. Unfortunately Ruby died of the Black Fog many years later but they have someone who would be around 30.
The shards are making Skytracer's relive their ancestors war so that's why they are in constant bloodlust. Potentially putting them back together could stop the mental illness. 1 with Iona, 2 with Pyrus given by a thief at the Decimation of Skygarde, 3 was in Billium's vault, he had this because his wife was a Skytracer, 4 is in the Skygarde vaults, only accessible by the Highking
Dhara officially has the domains of Diplomacy, Liberation and Craftmanship. Diplomacy being his main domain, the Church of Dhara has shifted over the centuries since Dhara rose over the final battlefield. Although many people pray to him for his specific domains, Dhara has become a catch all for many worshipers, which allows his domain to spread as the following of the church does. Not only has there been wars in the last five centuries in the name of Dhara with the intent to purge other religions, the Church has also pushed the narrative that the old gods are faltering and Dhara is not simply a god of Diplomacy, but he is the one true god of the Black Ocean.
Dex worships Dhara less due to his domains and more due to his family being heavily involved in the wars in Dhara's name. Dex actually almost avoided the Church as he was raised by a false mother from the Crimson Elves. This would have been the choice of his mother, who was wounded by Dex's father because Dhara is allegedly speaking to him and showing visions, driving him mad. Unluckily for his birth mother, the adoptive parent Hildee was one of many elves who have converted to the Church of Dhara in the times of strife between the aelves and gaul.
Triss met Dex who was another half elf. He didn't have that green of skin but his ears were indistinguishable. He had a great conversation with Triss as he is studying ancient runes around the island. He had a very noticably charasmatic smile.
Moira cleared Ralf after he babbled on further by using a detect thoughts spell. Moira ran into Dex on her way to save Triss, he was weaving through the crowds watching Triss in handcuffs.
Went to his house, Blimbo's wife was killed in the soundproof room where Blimbo played his violin. The killer kicked the door open from the inside. The shoe print was fairly small, seemingly much smaller than Blimbo's. Out back you find a shimmy from a thieves kit hiding in the grass.
Caught Nikolaus the Pitboss of the Casino stealing from the register, you arrested him and searched his pockets. He had thieves tools missing the shimmy. He admitted to trying to steal from the blacksmith a few days earlier but the sounds of a dying bird scared him off. This was actually Blimbo playing his violin. His feet were much too large to match the murderer's footprint. He said he had suspicions og it being Ralf of the Gyaron Gazett because he had been reporting on murders before they were public knowledge.
Moira did one last check upstairs where a skylight was pried open with a dagger. Ralf hinted Gorbashav was boasting about the heinous murders he discovered. The orc was excited about how the people were killed. Moira entertained his lizard man theory so Triss could take his boot to compare to shoe print at Blimbo's. On her way over the intimidating Gorbashav intercepted her as he was hanging around the crime scene. Triss went into the bookshop instead where she found a dead Gizomo.
Gorboshav entered and Moira switched on her invisibility after finding clues about the killer. A dagger pierced his back and it wasn't from a tall person. She was able to dance past the 3 guards while invisible.
Tayne, 4 guards holding Triss and Moira met at the Church of Shoreez, where they found bloody wooden statues with carvings on the faces covered in blood. At the front altar, Archibald's head was crushed in and gray matter was spread on the pews. He was murdered minutes before due to his body heat. Tayne could not let Triss go but no longer believed it was her.
Triss faints at the horror in front of her. Moira hookshots to the roof, Tayne handcuffs himself to Triss as she wakes up and they go searching through the city. Moira finds a hidden rosegold dagger with a gold blade within the tree of Shoreez. Triss and Tayne see Dex running along the Aquaduct.
Moira chases after him and lightning whips Dex as he crosses the river. This surge of electricity knocks him out and scars his body from his feet to his chest. Tayne arrests him and clears Triss.
As you planned how you were going to get into the prison, a ship of prisoners arrived with Dex being chained up, he winks at Moira.
Thunderous footsteps could be heard as Lord Thormund marched his black and gold army towards the Pit.
The three enter the central tower and are greeted by a bellhop named Virgil. He is super pleasant and quirky but kicks prisoners in the shin when they speak to him. He takes the trio down to the second level where a large multi head snake named Minos has its body wrapped around a pillar. Dex has just been sentenced and sent to the lowest level of the Pit.
Triss is judged to have lied to get her job as she had ulterior motives to help Dias. She was convicted of fraudulence and sent to the eighth level. Moira uses her mind ring to only allow Minks to read certain thoughts. She shows enough of her former life to be sent to the tenth level. This area is first those to betray a government, lord or guest.
On separate levels, Moira and Olivier, Triss and Morty all hear explosions coming from the upper levels.
The roof explodes as ballistas shoot chains down from the floor above. Black and gold clad men slide down as the party can see inmates running towards the lifts and climbing. The prison gates have been broken open by Thormund.
Now Pyrus, Jericho, Thormund and Borigan were all together to fight against the new Royal Pacuran Navy.
Moira super saiyan lightning javelin and then landed like featherly ironman.
blackguards defeated as Claire's ship sailed away with Jericho, Moasis and Dex.
Typhon goons show up led by Claire, Dex, Dimitri and Fimbulwinter.
Tensions rise as Claire and Quinn realize they have the same letter. Darryl greets Claire happily as well.
Massive amounts of cannon fire can be heard outside, all the leaders have gathered here to make a last stand. the battle rages as you try and prevent the Fleet of the Stormblood to get the hands on the artifact.
Sossari figures it out the Flint Oly Lancashire is an anagram for Henri Clifton Sallya.
The tomb opens to reveal Henri's bones covered in essence from the leaking phylactery.
Moira and Arygos try to take the bones but this causes Henri immense pain Sossari tells the ladies they are his daughter and Clair is furious because she hates him. Quinn is confused as she is captured by Claire.
Claire threatens Fimbulwinter on darryl so as he is running in the hidden crypt, Henri shoots his pet to save him from pain and torture.
Triss hides outside as the others try to negotiate their escape. Claire just wants the artifact for her boss.
Henri touches the phylactery and feels it pulling him in. He cannot fight it and is siphoned back into his skeleton, leaving the party.
Arygos stays in the tomb and the others leave.
Once they are outside then Arygos throws the artifact just short of the door. Triss hears someone else marching up the stairs.
Arygos kicks the artifact out to Moira as Sossari makes an earth bubble around them.
Fimbulwinter attacks Arygos, but making him berserk and cursing him with lycanthropy.
Claire covers behind two goldguards as Dex misses Triss with his whip chain. Moira and Sossori can sense power in the artifact.
Arygos takes a beating for a while.
Dex takes the moment to betray Claire and stab her in the back. He declares he is the son of captain Mortimer and is here to complete his father's mission.
The dirt bubble drops as the magic girls disintegrate the priest Dimitri. Borigan and Pathos arrive to see the devastation from the artifact.
Sossari thunder shocks Arygos’ axe as he kills Fimbulwinter, absorbing some of his soul into the axe.
Joseph orders the goldguards back to the ship, as the highest ranking member of Thormund's army they must obey even though he killed their captain. They leave.
Arygos falls to a blackguard as Sossari attacks and misfires, hitting the dying Arygos, tried and Joseph team up on Claire who is injured and furious with Dex.
Dex runs behind the statue and breaks a small gem on the back of the statue, this item was what was causing the magic block.
Triss and Moira turn to the Zephyrn stormblood and his bodyguard. Now both can enter the tomb and use magic.
Sossari runs to get in the way as the blackguard swings at arygos again. As she does this she feels an energy flow through as small buds bloom into leaves at her shoulder part of her wings. This slight transformation distracts the guard as a whip chain dagger carves through the attackers sternum. Joseph walks out from behind the Oceanus statue and pulls his dagger blade back.
Moira waits for the phylactery to recharge as Borigan accepts they don't have control of this situation. Pathos now commands the retreating gold guards to stand against the party.
Borigan and Pathos leave as the final two goldguards are fighting. They are quickly handled now that the party can use magic again.
Arygos is revived as the group stand there in disbelief. Moira is holding the phylactery in her hand.
The artifact recharges as Moira places it against her helmet, powering her Helm of Teleportation beyond it's normal limits. She looks to the group and begins to glow. A smile crosses her face as she begins to separate. “I killed Snerz” she says bluntly as she teleports away from the friends she had adventured with for months.
An injured Claire begins walking towards the group, looks to them and tells then that she is tired of fighting.
Sossari offers her a place on their team and she stops to consider it, Triss then informs her that she was just going to shoot her in the back. This confused Claire as the team was clearly in disagreement. She walked away from the party so Triss blasted her with a fireball in one shoulder as Joseph, looking to cover his betrayal, stabbed his whip dagger into her other shoulder. She fell to the ground.
Session 0 - 5E, 211th year. 1st day of Firstfrost.
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."
Thormund lay on the ground spitting up blood. Maximus looked to Ivan, who hated Thormund, Maximus nodded as Ivan took out his cutlass and decapitated Thormund.
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. I hereby gift you the Imperius Trident as a thank you for what you have done for us. I'm sending the remaining mudguard back with you to Eidon, Mako will be waiting there for you, we have something special for you to see".
Before you set sail from Hydri, the remaining stormbloods catch up to you at the Gobsnapper, which Izil, Skalden, Franny and Stefan has sailed here from Ios after you guys teleported away.
Each one of them thanks you for your heroic actions

You sail to Eidon with the mudguards. 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. Mako handed each of you 3000 gp within sacks, this is the reward Maximus promised you for assisting in the peace brought to Pacura.
Mako tells you that the Eidon Stronghold is now yours to do with as you wish. your crew as well as anyone you recruit for your settlement will live and work here. They will assists you on a ravens notice if you are far away. you can build better walls, new shops with discounts to you, you can store items here, customize your rooms, raise taxes, build fleets or capture enemies. Everything you may want can be purchased with your rewards. I'm going to go build a shrine in the area you designate the graveyard, I never found my mother's body after the tsunami but I hope i can honor her hear on my new home.
a few patrons have already taken up camp here as they think of you as good people.
Bedlam and Sossari begin talking to the batgoblins, bedlam introducing herself to each one and sossari asking who knew snerz.
You talk to nug who knows nothing and then suds who mentions merz still lives in the blindbat jungle. 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.
Joseph is hunted by phantom bounty hunters. Harrowers. His connection to dhara was always strenuous because he wasn't sure what the voices were saying. Ever since he lost his dagger the voices have grown angrier.

outside of crinian, Addikus meets with them in secret and tells them stories of the ancient dragon Synapsid and those who worshipped him. They became the first dragon kin when the god fell to the 6 heroes of man, these were slaves freed by the attacking dragons. The story goes that Synapsid accepted his fate because he knew those 6 heroes would balance the world on their own without his meddling. He attacked them on a path along the Firefang Jags. He sent many of them crashing to their graves at the base of the mountain. The 6 heroes defeated the last dragon and it turned into the synapse to await another time when a little chaos was needed to balance the scales.
He then tells them that the High King Orion Skytracer and Prince Damarrus were killed when they left Arboran by a dragon that was enraged. Maximus is dealing with his own threat of animals attacking civilians as their skin burns emerald. The High throne of Galfin was empty for the first time in over 200 years.
Addikus asks the party to finish their contract the Merkaynians gave them and return the ancestral weapon to Addikus' home of Arboran. He says only in the village of Nak can he complete the ritual to bring back the God of order and chaos.
Maybe then the world can settle back to peace.

As arygos frees the second brother, he hears a low grunt from the back. Attached to a chair by spikes is Pathos.
His brother gives Arygos a necklace that was their mothers, it has the emblem of the Merkaynian Enclave.
Rayne and Grai suggest the others should leave while commenting how they don't think they could do what Arygos has to do.
Arygos gives back his brother hammer but Pathos immediately gives it back, as a gift this time. The brothers look into each others eyes as Pathos whispers, do it.
Arygos kills his brother, doing so breaks the curse as he completed a true act of mercy.
Arygos takes the axe and throws it into a molten metal flow nearby.
Arygos walks out and declares they are going to kill the kingfishers.
He breathes electricity as his kinalite hammer charges up and his boots glow lightning blue.
Started in Greywyn.
Sossari cures lindwyrm fever.
Needed to take a fairy trail.
Went backwards to Onaza Grimbind and he replicated Snerz using a memory swipe spell.
He tells you how to get to Oakton through the trails.
Fight a firestorm guardian centaur in a chess puzzle.
Arrive in Oakton and everyone is wearing cardigans.
Walk to Arboran to see the siege beginning.
Arygos stays in the outskirts because night is about to fall.
The others find a way through a cave into the Hedgespire.
Talk down some wolves.
Meet Maven Grimbind, Wegelia and Addikus Windslayer.
1 hour until sundown and Triss attacks the enemy troops, starting the siege early.
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.
Arygos, Dex and Bedlam held back Blackcherry's army once it arrived. 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.
Windslayer ranted on how gods meddle too much, he traces the corrupted Synapsid symbol into his castle using Sossari's totems.
The symbol froze the party as Maven released the magic months to neutralize the partys magic.
Windslayer took the dragonlance and destroyed the egg.
Black flame surged into Arygos and white into bedlam. Causing some discoloration.
They awoke still feeling paralyzed from the spell.
They are in the cell beneath Hedgespire.
The Red Heron walks down and says how dragons are evil and the Kingfishers will bring order back to the world.
He tosses you a white crystal and tells you this is the last time he saves you. Reveals himself to be Chris.
Bedlam can use the crystal against Arygos.
A spectral Pathos appears, the last soul sucked into Arygos by his axe. Pathos breaks the chains of the door.
You are in the jail cell and feel very malnourished. It has been longer than a day since you were betrayed. Christopher offered you his assistance 6 days after you were caught in the blast that killed Synapsid. After revealing himself, he promised that the next time he sees the team, he will treat them as an enemy.
Sossari tries heat metal, bedlam breaks her own wrist, arygos is knocked out, triss blasts a fire bolt at Joseph's chain, after a couple failed attempts Sossari just turns into a mouse to escape.
After Chris walks up the stairs, you feel a rumble shake the entire structure. Rocks begin to crumble from the ceiling. The stairs get blocked by rubble. As the shake settles you see green acid flowing through the cracks in the rocks.
The party gets their things and finds Wegelia dead in the cell next to them. In her hand is a letter to her late husband Woxbood hoping she is buried in the ground so she can decompose and be one with nature. Sossari molds earth to find dirt and buries the bramble dwarf. The acid is filling the room. Sossari uses her Cape of flying and triss just runs through the acid.
Dex holding up Arygos and Bedlam find a chest of gold and items. After looting Triss uses her belt of hill giant strength to break a section of the wall attached to a drainage pipe. Sossari molds earth so Arygos can fit through.
The party finds a great cedar tree with purple orchids growing around it, this is the symbol of Shoreez. This tree has used this natural cavern to absorb water and the peak of its foliage to gather sunlight as it peaks through the surface. Sossari receives a vison from Shoreez. She is happy that her emissary is gathering a following but she needs her to destroy the Exodect statue in Crinian or a great calamity will befall Eidon.
The group climbs the tree as the acidic groundwater makes it's way behind them.
Triss throws Arygos limp body up towards the ceiling twice. The first time he impacts the ceiling, damaging it. The second time he bursts through the ceiling and light shines down from the sky. The rest climb the tree.
After you make your way passed the acidic ground water, you enter the city of Arboran from a the hole in the surface. You see the adult black dragon circling the skies and melting the stone brickwork of the castle with its powerful acid breath.
You also see Aero storming the castle with the help of more werewolves. Aero takes out the rest of the grunt Kingfishers with the help of Bedlam and the Cross brothers. Aero set out a call in the night of the full two moons and the wolves expended their energy to rally to their Alpha. 6 days of travel and they made it here without a fae crossing.
The Cross brothers escaped when Addikus betrayed the team.
Rayne wants to reestablish the Cardinalhood but without the corruption Barren Blackcherry brought with him. Rayne seeks to invite Aero and his hunters to help him bring order back to the Mooncrest. He will help rebuild Greywyn and also wants to be officially affiliated with the Shatterbrand. Triss mentions they should rebrand from Blackcherry's team name.
Grai is a man without a home, he still seeks to fight even after his military record was forcibly ended years ago. Grai offers his sword to help lead the mercenaries of Eidon.
It is revealed that the Red Heron Christopher Knackle, the Mockingbird Addikus Windslayer and the Bloodhawk Maven Grimbind all escaped when the Fenris Tribe and black dragon stormed the castle. The trio was saved when Maven revealed herself to be a succubus and flew off with the leaders. They were aiming towards the Vargen Swamplands province.
Rayne fears that they are regrouping with their leader with the Capitol of Skygarde in their sights. The throne sits empty and all of Galfin now knows this.
Grai points out that he noticed Addikus had fang marks on his neck.
He reveals it has been 6 days since you were incarcerated. Aero was able to stop a transport wagon before the other kingfishers could escape.
Triss tasks Grai with searching the Eidon library for any hints on how to kill a succubus.
Triss and Bedlam decide to try and speak to the dragon sitting atop the melted Hedgespire.
Triss repeats some synapsi she has heard but the dragon does not respond. Bedlam unknowingly speaks its language as the ridges on her horn glow bright white. She can communicate with the dragon who reveals his name to be Blazareth.
It understands the Synapsi language. It will thank them for saving it by acknowledging their presence. He mentions how the Kingfishers are just a human reaction to the problem. The dragons were awoken to counteract something much more pressing. He is unaware of why but knows that dragons are immortal beings of chaos, they would only be used to balance an extreme shift in power and oppression. He is hesitant to say the reason for the reawakening is to fight the humans as they came into power because of the reawakening, the kingfishers did not cause it. Alas he no longer can hear Synapsid's murmurs within his mind. He can still sense remnants of the dragon god with the world as order and chaos rock the scales. He slightly gestures towards bedlam's horns. He informs you that he will fly north to the Firefang jags where the last dragon was slaughtered. It was a dragon safe haven and he hopes to rally his kind there.
At this point the world knows that the High King and his son were killed by dragons, this takes a more sinister turn when you realize that Addikus was the last person to see them alive and he commanded with the faction who could enrage dragons.
You take a long rest in Arboran. Over the next 6 days you travel by cart to Crinian without any resistance. Once you arrive you begin to resupply. Mundan has taken over Gaffo's shop he speaks very simple and thanks you for your patronage.
Triss and Joseph check out the magical Trinkets store and run into Swirler the raven folk. After some haggling and debate, he tells you that you two are terrible customers. As you bickered he noticed the Merkayne Brand on Joseph's forearm. Joseph slits his throat to hide the secret. Triss and Joseph take the items he was showing them and leave. Dex throws Swirler into the river.
Bedlam and Sossari are scoping out the courtyard with the statue Shoreez requested them to destroy. Ridra the goblin librarian is worshipping her deity there. The duo try and get her to leave but she confesses she has two things she lives by, her god and her library. At this point Triss and Joseph arrive and Triss asks for a book. The trio remaining at the statue begin setting up oil and barrels and step back. They toss a lantern as sossari ignites it mid air with produce flame. The statue ignites as the flame spreads to the barrels. The statue explodes violently, setting ablaze the church to exodect as well as the roof of the library that Triss is in.
Ridra heard this and runs out, screaming hysterically in sadness. Triss quickly finds an atlas of the Vargen Swamplands and escapes. Dex hides behind a building as bedlam and sossari jump in the river.
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.
