Fools & Flagons

    Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests are working diligently to head back West to the continent of Drago. From dragon attacks, to a false priest closing down the port, it hasn't been an easy task. But with Lakin being determined to unveil a false priest, it seems their pathway Westward will once again open up. The High Priest of Ceto, or rather, the false priest Nereus, was confronted with truths unveiled by Lakin's connection with Ceto. Revealed before all who were in attendance in the Ariminum Pantheon. Rather than sticking around to partake in his punishment, the High Priest summoned creatures of living script to fight off the Tempests, while he ran off, going invisible and somehow covering a large distance in mere moments. After a fruitless attempt to give chase, the Tempests returned to the wharf and settled in once more at the Golden Eel to rest up and plan their next steps.

  Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests were working their way back west towards Drago to help Lakin fulfill his quest, and to rescue an old companion. Their progress was hindered however, as a Dragon attack seems to have put the people of Ariminum on edge, and all outward travel was halted. Finding this development both irritating and questionable, the Tempests began digging around.. and they certainly found some things. Kasumi's sharp eyes accidentally discovered the local thieves guild and though they didn't receive outright support, the guild master gave them the go-ahead to find answers for him, on the condition that bloodshed be the last option. He quite enjoys his mess-free city after all. Lakin communed with Ceto while sitting at the bottom of the ocean and learned that the local High Priest was not, in fact, one of hers and didn't not speak for the goddess. Fairly enraged, Lakin began thinking of a multitude of ways to kill this phony priest, but was discourage by his companions as they already had their fill of being incarcerated criminals. It seemed that exposing this false priest was going to be a bit tricky.. But Lakin has a plan.. Speaking loudly to any Ceto-fearing-sailor that would listen, he began spreading the word that Ceto wasn't really upset with the Romanan people, and that a display of her real intentions would be revealed when the stars shine bright in the sky..

    Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests are heading Westward to try and return to the continent of Drago where Pez's friend Hambjerger has been supposedly reincarnated, and also the end goal of Lakin's task given to him by Ceto. But the journey so far has been laden with obstacles. First a blue dragon attacked their airship, and now the port of Ariminum is under lockdown due to said dragon attack. The city was still a bit twitchy after the last blue dragon sighting, and they were none-too-eager to further anger the sea goddess. With nothing else to do until nightfall where Lakin could speak with Ceto himself, the Tempests found themselves an Inn and explored the Romanan capitol for the day. Somewhere, somehow, along the way, Kasumi stumbled upon the local Thieves Guild hidden within an apothecary wherein they met the **Velvet Dagger**, the leader of the Golden Hand Thieves Guild. The Velvet Hand was quite irate with the situation as it was hindering business. However, being such a fresh development, there was little that any of them could do. As night fell, Lakin communed with Ceto to see if the goddess was actually upset with the city..

    The last time math rocks fell, the Tempests finally departed from the country of Takatari to continue their round-about tour the world. The next stop on their journey was the port city of Ariminum in the country of Romana where they could purchase passage across the Alboran Sea. Before they could make it to the Romanan capitol, their chartered airship was attacked by an adult blue dragon. The blue beast seemed intent on bringing down the vessel, but was thwarted by the relentless attacks from the Tempests. Though the dragon was defeated, it wasn't without cost; not only physical, but mental as well. Pez was rather shaken up by the encounter, wishing for nothing more than to plant his feet firmly on the ground again. Kasumi also had a brief scuffle with gravity, but managed to save herself from plummeting to a rocky death. And Lakin gave an in depth review of dragons and their kind!

    Picking up where we last left off, Kasumi and Moriko connected with family both new and old. Moriko reunited with the parents she thought had been lost at sea so many years ago and discovered that she had siblings! Kasumi rescued her adoptive father Barnabus from an Arch Fae, and met another Kitsune who claimed to be her older sister, sent with another sibling to the material plane to rescue Kossori, otherwise known as Kasumi. Both stuck to their convictions and promises to help the party, and with varying degrees of emotion left once more with the Tempests to continue their journey, vowing to return safe and sound once their goals were completed and the world was safe again.

    Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests successfully rescued Barnabus Che, Kasumi's adoptive father, from the clutches of a high ranking Fey creature known as The Lady of the Pass. But it would seem that Kasumi's search for family was not quite done as the fey possessed an item that came to be known as 'The Spiritual Tear'. A tear drop shaped gem stone that seemed to call out to Kasumi with a sense of longing and sadness. Confused by what it meant, Kasumi meditated on the item, attuning to it, and received a vision that further confused the poor woman. Moriko spoke with her own deity to see what she could ascertain about the situation, and was given a little more direction that Kasumi had found her 'new family', but had yet to reunite with her old one.

    Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests had ventured into the sequoia forest behind Kasumi's homestead in the Tusoto Pass in search of her adoptive father, Barnabus. Buried deep within the giant trees, they came upon a palace shrouded in mist. The palace was called "The Mirrored Court" and seemed to be fey in nature. The Tempests got a little lost inside the palace, every doorway seeming to take them to random places until they figured out the trick behind it. Partially with the help of Elarion, a being trapped within a phylactery and forced to watch over the Fey's library. With Elarion's "totally not helpful advice", the Tempests finally cornered the Lady of the Pass and took her down with relative ease. (And a couple of nat20's helped speed things along of course). The palace began to fade, urging the Tempests to beat a hasty retreat. Everyone that had previously been under the fey's influence were now free and hurriedly scrambling to grab what they could and escape. Because who knew what would happen if they remained when it disappeared completely?

    Last we left off, the Tempests were heading towards the Tusoto Pass so that Kasumi could reunite with her parental figure, Barnabas Che. This was after receiving a vision from her deity that gave her a choice between heading to her home, or investigating a fox motif door in Chunsu; both would supposedly lead to family. Arriving at the Tusoto Pass, they found the homestead empty for what seemed to be at least a few weeks if not a few months. Following the trail, the Tempests came upon a palace nestled deep in the woods to the South of Kasumi's home, a place called The Mirrored Court. The party was greeted by a half-orc butler named Ganshiro who led them directly to the Lady of the Pass. Standing beside the lady was Barnabas himself who seemed to have no recognition in his eyes upon seeing Kasumi. The Lady proceeded to trick Zaan out of owning his own name, leading the group to discover that the Lady was not all that she seemed. Assumed to be fey at the least, arch fey at the worst, Lakin attempted to attack the Lady, shattering the illusion that she was in the room with them. The Tempests were now lost in a maze of rooms with doors that seem to move them around randomly throughout the Palace. There was a brief moment where the party was split and Lakin bull-charged his way through until the party finally regrouped.

Last we left off, the Tempests had successfully cleansed the blight burrowing below the ground in Takatari. After slaying the massive plague worm, the Tempests returned to the surface and took a few days to recover in Calm Water Piers while Moriko got to know her family a better. Kasumi was graced with a vision from Shenshe that gave her and her companions two choices going forward. Return to Chunsu in the East and investigate a mysterious, fox emblazoned door, or head West towards her home at Tusoto Pass where something odd was happening in the forest. Choosing to head towards her home first, the Tempests went West and had a rather uneventful journey aside from encountering a babbling Kobold on the road who was completely ignored. Eventually, they arrived at the Tusoto Pass.. only to find that it was currently uninhabited. The area seemed to have been abandoned some time ago, with a fine layer of dust having settled on every surface, though nothing seemed disturbed or taken. As if the inhabitants had simply left. Following a few other scattered clues, the Tempests followed a slew of tracks that led into the forest behind the homestead. A thick, low hanging fog overtook them, making it difficult to see properly. That is until the fog curled away, revealing a stone pathway, hedgerows, and a wall in the distance with a palace of some sort beyond it.

Last we left off, the Tempests had done a good deed! Supposedly one good enough to wipe their ledger clean with the Takatari Dynasty. Delving deep into the earth, the party hunted down and killed a massive worm-like creature that was spreading pestilence, disease, rot, and a multitude of other nastiness-es-es across the realm. Though they did not come out unscathed, they were victorious and returned to the surface once more. They were then greeted by a contingent of Redguard soldiers being led by Taiko Yama who had been sent by the Shogun to deal with the threat below, only to find that the mostly foreign 'prisoners' had done all the dirty work while their handler, Tanaka, was clean as a whistle, having not lifted a single finger to help his own country. Yama freed the Tempests of their shackles under the authority of the Shogun and sent them on their way. The party wasted no time in heading back to Calm Water Piers to check on the villagers and more importantly, the Ito's. With both Ito parents awake and aware, well on the mend due to the cure the Tempests helped bring to the village, it came to light that Moriko was in fact, their long lost daughter. The spitting image of Ayami, minus the bubblegum pink, the family had their long needed reunion after being separated for almost 80 years.
