Session 2.36

The party, having arrived at the city of Greenstone ahead of the Summit of Nations, with a handful of days to spare, had some time to explore the city and try to meet with the other leaders who may have arrived early as well to garner some favor for the upcoming vote. During a morning stroll into the Presidential Plaza district, the group had run into a white-haired man in the midst of his training. This individual turned out to be known as the Fist of the Sun, the muscle for the Delegation of the Diamond Soul. Intrigued by the figure, he exhibited a small taste of his fighting prowess with Rhorn and divulged that he was the wielder of Baricon gauntlets.

Afterwards, continuing into the heart of the district, the party met with the city’s Master Craftsman who had crafted SOF’s staves. After requesting some upgrades to some of the party’s possessions, Fannti was able to entice his apprentice Quo, and recruit him to the Amethyst Isle. The following day, on their way to meet with the Goliath contingent on the opposite end of the district, the party ran into two fairly well armed women who themselves took a particular interest in the party. The two (VAL and Hera) introduced themselves as Members of the Veilguard Sentinels(particularly members of the Delegation of the Diamond Soul), a paramilitary group made up of members of the 7 different religious organizations, whose sole purpose is to locate different nexus points and investigate them for incursions and close any rifts should one exist. They notified the group that they were on a mission to investigate a potential rift on the island, and being shorthanded, were looking to recruit some able-bodied fighters in exchange for a reward. 

With some time to spare the group had agreed and made the trek to the Mystic Mountains to the north of Greenstone, and more specifically the Eldertop Mountain. During the trek there Hera and VAL went into specifics of their job and how they would go about closing a rift should one exist. Upon reaching the valley of the Mystic Mountains the party encountered demons and devils fighting with each other pouring out of a cave mouth, where the two assumed a rift was located.The party fought their way through the caves until they located the portal itself. However, in their way was a large ape-like creature with four arms called a Glazberu, fighting with an armored creature made of bone, known as a Bone Devil. While Hera began her incantation to close the rift, the party did their best to distract the fighting creatures, eventually slaying them in time to close the rift. With the threat neutralized and the rift closed, the two sentinels bid the party a fond farewell, but not before they had rewarded the party with platinum pieces, and +1 pt of renown.
