Listen Later

Our scattered heroes met back up in Tradeshore at a tavern called “The Witty Glaive.” Bob and Dona are the first to arrive, with Ursus and Thorak behind them, and Valen, who finally arrives. The group decides to indulge in food, drink, and revelry as they all want to catch each other up on what has been happening to them. They have orders placed with Hebrin Steelebelly, a dwarf who helps run the establishment that Ursus and Thorak now own. We start with Thorak and Ursus in the desert. Having recently saved a woman, they are catching their breath and planning for what’s next. Thorak sees Ursus and the woman getting along well, so he walks outside and makes some animal friends. Urusus and the woman continue to talk, but Urusus can’t help but find himself enamored with the woman. Unfortunately, her rescue was a ruse, and she is a succubus. Thorak learns something is off with the situation when one of the animals tells him many people go in, but they never return from that place. Thorak rushes in, catching the two in an awkward situation, and begins fighting the succubus while trying to convince Urusus that she’s bad news. The fight ends with her escape, Ursus returns to his senses, and the Slash Brothers raiding and torching her place. We then glimpse a grizzly scene where Bob and Dona are, a burning ship coming into shore, and screams are heard in the distance. Upon getting to the ship to help, they do what they can to save anyone and douse the intense flames. They end their tale by saying that most of the people are deceased, and a flag is recognized by one of the crew as “their brothers.” Finally, Valen tells the group what happened after he ran through the soft spot, taking Soris, the child. He explains they found themselves on top of a large isle where an airship found them and gave them safe passage. JM notes that Valen tells the truth as best as possible, as he was sworn to secrecy for a large chunk of what transpired. He brought Soris to a hidden city in the sky inhabited by Hilderfolk, who were expecting the arrival of Soris and Valen. Valen learns that Soris is not an Uniluum child but a rare amethyst dragon and a descendant of a legendary dragon that helped stop a disaster. Soris reveals himself in his proper dragon form and thanks Valen for being with him and being his friend. Soris and Valen have a touching exchange, and Valen promises to stay with Soris for a bit to help him settle in. If he truly wishes to stay, he would not stop but would encourage him to check out where their original destination was if he may be needed there as well. It is decided that Valen would tell the skyship to go on without him and that he was grateful to them for their aid. Valen informs Soris that he will stay with him as long as possible but must depart soon to meet back up with the party. Valen tells Soris his decisions are his own, and he won't try to persuade him to pursue the other location any longer. He finishes by saying that, eventually, he will make his way there to see what that’s like and do what he can to stay in touch with Soris. We finish with the group, making plans for what’s to come.

There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…
