The party, now rested, makes plans to head towards Sloane. They decide that they would head around the mountains of Tarren Ridge, avoiding Antonius, to the Constables' machine out by Dragonborn Valley. However, the day starts with Cereius gone, along with all his possessions. Assuring themselves that he was safe and only doing what was needed for him and his goddess, they make their way. Zechs and Galahad discuss their futures, their headspaces, their plans, and what they should do with Kyver’s lingering Orcus problem. As their watch ends, they come to find that Kyver has left as well, and while not having anything to do with Orcus, the group is still concerned. They push through and hope that he will be safe and return to them. The next night is also filled with lots of tension and unease as the party begins their watches. Shanks and Arguile have a very heated conversation with Elrin after he shares some bombshell revelations with them. They come out of their conversation to find a displacer beast heading for Salix. There’s so much happening, and that’s where we pick up…

Introductions are made as the party meets two new adventurers who will be joining them. Thai Gur, a Tabaxi like Zechs and Kyver, but almost the complete opposite of them both. Salix Dendron is revealed to be a priestess OR a reincarnation of The Daughter of the Void. One of the fabled “Daughters of Creation”. The group exchanged notes and information while making their way to see the legendary blacksmith Vulsir up in Nindlelogh. Cereius receives two rings that his goddess has sent him to get and reveals that the rings will help him bring his wife back to the material plane. Sometime later, the group makes their way towards Terran Ridge to seek out the Nalakavi tribe of Goliaths that would hopefully give Galahad some answers as to who is killing his people. Eventually, they find themselves in what they believe to be the land of the Nalakavi, and the druidic members of the clan are trying to figure out how Galahad can be who he claims to be.

Meanwhile, the group finds itself still separated by miles of Granzia. On the one hand, Shanks and Glad have finally made their way to the machine that the others entered from.

Kyver emerges from the bag of holding he was kept in and is informed that he is a means to an end. His captors? Worshipers of the goddess Tiamat. On the other side of town, we have Zechs on a semi-leisurely stroll through Granz City with Duo. Meanwhile, Cereius and Glad meet up with Shanks back at the guild when they get word of Kyver’s disappearance. Upon exiting the guild, Shanks is fired upon and is almost pickpocketed by an invisible assailant. Fast forward to Zechs, Cereius, Galahad, and Arguile meeting up to find the bodies of the Tell-Tale Guild all slain and an effigy of Elrin. With the help of Zechs’ bestial spirit “Wolfy,” the crew follows the trail for Kyver to what they assess to be one of the machines that JM spoke of. They go inside and head upstairs, running into Kyver, who recounts what transpired, and all the while, they unknowingly travel from underneath the Cathedral of Granz City to a mountain overlooking Dragonborn Valley. At the guild, Shanks collects himself and makes the tough decision to cut his hair and alter it. There’s so much happening, and that’s where we pick up…
