Episode 87

== Summary ==
Another Chronatus puzzle is found, ending with a chess game that is anything but fair. As per custom, a triumphant party is showered with magic items.
== Recap ==
While the party walks through the Chezar grasslands during a torrential storm, heading towards Lorane, they notice three shapes struggling to fly in the wind. One of these shapes ended up being knocked out of the air
Storm was too bad to walk in so we found shelter
We chat with birds
Lucius scries on Kanna
Rain doesn't let up so Olly uses control weather
Olivia accidentally starts a goblin cult
We come across one of Chronatus's flags and go investigate
There's a tiny door we have to travel through - Barkley crawls through, Lucius, Astrid, Olivia, and Godfrey make their way through with magic. Deacon, Zholssen, Sylvanas and Kakere wait outside.
The first room has a series of riddles, where the answers could be drawn on stone plates with heat sensing areas on them by running a finger along it in the shape of a word
The next room is an active chess board, where the party plays chess against a statue of Chronatus. A gold dragon statue is the king, and Chronatus is is the queen. Godfrey becomes an opposing pawn, Olivia the queen opposite Chronatus, Lucius becomes a knight, and Astrid a rook.
Eventually, Chronatus cheats in the chess game. This gives Barkley the idea to cheat too. Barkley "takes" the queen and puts the gold dragon statue in checkmate. 
As a reward for completing the puzzle, we receive three items: X-ray goggles (given to Barkley), The Robe of Eyes (given to Godfrey obviously, and its absolutely horrible), and the Ring of the Ram (given to Astrid)
