Session 1: The Convergence

SESSION 1:

Vine Creatures Combat || Meeting of The Minds || Shattered Temple

In the heat of battle, our three fated adventurers finally came face to face. After months of traveling on their own, Harding, Pyxis, and Danahra finally united and were able to conquer their first enemy together. The weird vine creatures were quite startling, but the most intense moment seemed to come after Pyxis killed the last one. Time stopped for all but Harding, Pyxis, and Danahra as a chrome, arachnid almalgomation came through a fuschia portal, skewered the monster bodies and carried it through another portal made out of the Elbian gates. Scary, but ultimately no harm done.

From their encounter, the party also met Genie , the author of an anonymous letter Harding had received weeks ago. She also recognized Pyxis, commenting that she needs to message her mother - she's getting worried. She led the group through the Merchant's Quarter to a seemingly run down building at the edge of the Research Center. After giving the group some short and sweet instructions, Genie took the horses and left the group to figure the rest out on their own. Genie's instructions led to Harding finding a lever to pull that catapulted him down a slide, followed by Danahra, Lynette, and Pyxis.

At the end of said slide were three others that welcomed the group in on behalf of Genie. They identified themselves as The Minds collaborating from each country to end the war as quickly as possible - by any means. The members include Janeari from Ewiumera, Naxiris from Ntemi, Winker from Trocca, Genie from Rubevia, and Capt. Soleil from the Vobo Isles. With there being no representative from Listia, Harding and everyone was welcome in with temporary access and an invitation to join the group if they agree with the Mind's mission.

During their discussion, the Minds mentioned 3 problems they're currently facing:

1. Travel patterns from over the past five years are starting to resemble a planar wide arcane rune. Based on Harding's knowledge, the rune is either for a conjuration or transmutation spell.
2. No one has seen the prophet, Haakan , since Capt. Soleil obtained the Sliver of the Universe
3. There is a mysterious temple that might have more answers, but it's locked and no one has ever been able to crack the entrance of the puzzle.

With that last clue, Harding quickly wrapped up the discussion and left with the party in tow. The world awaits with bated breath as the four go for a day's ride to get to the temple.
