"The mind is a doorway...
...one that you can walk through if you wish."
As the Ketani take the 2nd Waystation, Ori helps the team escape (along with Ivan, a fan of Ashton) to his Watchman sanctuary. The Elder of the Runeguard talks with the team and sends them to Doro, a suburb of Tel'lus. They meet Dr. West along the way and are warned that the things hunting then are close on their tail.
The group prepare for the siege of the Waystation. Ashton takes a mimic and becomes a local gang leader, while Mankar and Nimue delve deeper into the mysteries of the Expanse. Who are these Bugmen? What happened to the Depthgroveller village? Who are the Katasi? The questions are many. The answers… few.
The group makes connections in Kyrn with a wealthy noble named Lord Ableton. As he shows them a family secret known as the Doomsday Door, they are interrupted. They are being hunted. The team flees the city aboard Ordega and heads North to the Expanse. As they avoid the storms at the first Waypoint a team of mercenaries (from the Swoop Gang) attempts to kill them. They escape with the help of a new friend: Ol’ Bistro.
“The Jadetail is perhaps the most beautiful (and certainly the most deadly) of any Avian creature. These fantastical and destructive birds are extremely territorial and vicious. Their chosen method of attack is to claw out the eyes of creatures gawking at their marvelous colors. So that the last thing you ever see, is that divine countenance.” - Professor Adadge
(This transcript has been translated from Braille) “Cutthroats, whores, liars, thieves, assassins, pickpockets and thugs… my dearest compatriots.”
Spymaster Thorn of the Empire Ori, Sofia, Beatrix, Mankar, Nimue and Ashton continue to investigate the old wizard’s tower. They find Targ’s stash, but it has been taken by a rival gang known as the Swoops. A member of the gang has been turned into a statue to mock the foolish adventurers. They leave the dungeon and realize that they are being pursued by a Reeve named Kandar. They find a Strider at an old temple and escape to the Kyrn Temple. After speaking with Priest Letario, much is made clear. But even more, remains a mystery. Where is Targ’s Treasure? What happened to Nimue? What can the ring do? Who is Kandar?
“Do not mourn the fallen. They suffer not. It is those who will survive that need your tears.” - Arlocke the Wise “It broke?! What do you mean it broke? You must be mistaken sir, nothing I craft ever shatters. My steel is harder than dragon scales.” - Sorsby Shitsteel III Long knives and short tempers. Beware of knaves and bandits…
“Please think well of me… I do not deserve it, though I wish I did. It would warm my hardened old heart if one such as you still loved me. I don't deserve it all the same. I am an old soldier, millenniums in age. You are like a flower, like the sky, like the sea. I could not bear the ages alone, without your marvelous smile.”
Reeve Lamarck The Stormfire Ring The Lone Reeve The Kestette Vial
“I would not look upon that thing if the Goddess herself told me to. Not for all the Koloss on Etos. It should be obliterated. It should be thrown into the sea.” - Reeve Lamarck “I’ve never been considered a lucky fellow. In actual fact, I’ve had to make my own luck more often than not. The Godess has forgotten me, and I see no need to play by her rules. I will make my own way. And thrice damn any who try to stop me. I am going to ride that dragon.”
-Cadwell the Adventurer (in memoriam) Two free swords, a mercenary, and an explorer gather together. The group travels with the captured leader of a Cartel (Targ) to find his treasure, a significant amount of Koloss and a magical artifact called the Stormfire Ring. It is hidden in a ruined Empire castle, and will be guarded by traps and monsters… and legendarily a dragon.
