Collateral Damage - C1E154 The Feast of the Matrons pt 1
The party makes last-minute preparations for their travel, ensuring they don’t forget anything as they don’t know if and when they’ll be back in Drose. Zechs gives Hoshino a 2nd level Moonbeam scroll that he’s been holding onto for quite some time. Before long, the group is back on the Swift Hummingbird, and we find Hoshino and Arguile creating scrolls out of the spell book the party found ages ago that belonged to the Arcanoloth. The two make a great pair and manage to successfully pull quite a few scrolls before they decide not to push their good luck any further. As the last pull happens, Shanks initially bets the ship's gunner for some coin, but the gunner suggests that if Hoshino is flawless in his execution, he’ll throw in a personal recipe for plastique. Hoshino is successful, and Shanks is told he will have the recipe later that day.
Shanks later speaks with Greyleaf, discussing his transformation from Kyver to Greyleaf. Greyleaf explains his fight with the son of the Vitalis that took his life, but fate had other plans for him. He took it as a sign to leave all the negative that came with Kyver and let it die in that ring. The conversation continues and touches on some deeper parts of Greyleaf’s upbringing and reasoning that he didn’t tell the group much while with the party. In the conversation, he reminds Shanks that he can ask questions, but as he’s said before, he can only speak about his own story. They have an uneasy conversation about Rig in which Shanks tells Greyleaf that he’s not the same person he was before and doesn’t live his life with regrets.
Finally, the group touches down and is informed that they are at the Barrier Range. The group takes off, gathering the heavy cloaks from the bag of holding that Cereius once gave them. The travel up is almost entirely covered in fresh snow, which does not help Zechs’ newest “gift” from Malar. The brisk and open mountain air and the sparkle from the snow heightened his sight and smell, and it was not a comfortable adjustment. The group bands together to help him out, and he’s grateful. They continue up the path, with Galahad and Zechs taking the lead. When they finally arrive, Galahad explains to the person who meets them that he is from the line of “Those That Wandered,” Panea had mentioned coming here to meet them. There is a tense pause before the goliath says, “Come with me.” The group meets with their leader, Pakia, and Galahad explains what he knows of his ancestry. To this, she gives recognition, inquiring further about any more details since his ancestor's departure from Sloane. They finish speaking, and she encourages them to stay, which they accept, and participate in the festival. We finish with the group around a dinner table with drinks and tales of their party’s early days.
There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…
