__NOTOC__
==Recap==
===August, Year 1===
While Kael, Abaddon, and Izual are away on their elf-eye hunt in the forest to the north, Nyx goes to visit the temple in Acropolis. Before entering the temple Nyx casts to create the illusion of a 11-year-old child that Nyx rises out of the ground. Nyx then enters the temple, holding hands with the illusion.
Inside the temple is the goddess Martha sitting cross-legged on the ground and a queue of people waiting to speak with her. Nyx herself sits on a bench and has the illusionary girl run to the front of the queue and hug Martha. Martha goes along with the illusion and pretends to hug the child back with one arm, while making eye contact with Nyx. The illusionary girl asks Martha about the coming dangers of the Ogres. Martha warns "the child" that fighting the ogres isn't necessary and they could just give the ogres what they want, and watch out for people trying to manipulate you. Martha gives the child a map.
Nyx takes the illusion outside the temple, takes the map, then dismisses the illusion by pushing the girl back into the ground to the horror of a local who is watching.
One day while Rae Kwon is performing for a tavern in Acropolis, Kael, Abadon and Izural return and sit with Nyx. Kael has the elf eyes in a jar to preserve them until Malkis's return in December. Kael explains how he obtained the eyes to Nyx. Nyx says the Ogres will return soon and the party has to act now before Voraci's return. She shows the party the map that Martha gave her.
Rae Kwon shows the map to a pair of gnomes in the tavern and asks if they know where it is of. The gnomes says it is near the great sea-town of Portheus on Ancient Bravo's west coast. The gnomes are also impressed by the paper material used to create the map. The gnomes ask about getting long fibres to make quality paper and Rae Kwon directs the gnomes to the swamp north of Nekkraut.
Kael ask the bartender Magda about where Portheus is, and are told around 120 miles west.
The party argue if they should go though the valley to get to Portheus and fight ogres along the way, or go south of the valley and go straight to Portheus. Abbadon pretends that Malkis told him to go thought the valley and then kill some ogres in the forest.
The party decide to go though the valley in the end, returning to Hearthome. But first they will wait for the snake-scale armor to be finished first.
===Leaving Acropolis===
It is early Early September. The snake-scale armor is completed with the craftsman having learned skills from the god of crafting, Sayor. The armor is AC 16 scalemail and weights 40 lbs. Manfred takes the lightweight version of the armor that is AC 15 that weights 30 lbs.
Izural bless some leather scraps for Nyx's spell using some holy water created by Efra.
The party meet up with the sheppard Jon, and tell him they are finally heading to Hearthome. Jon has concerns, but agrees to gather his family and leave with the party. Jon's 2 children are little jimmy and little bobby and his wife is named Jimethea. 
===6th September===
The party travel for 3 days to Hearthome.
On the first day of travel the party encounters a bard, Fabio the Fantastic. Fabio asks for great stories from the party for a gold each (along with the exclusive rights to tell said story). The party ask if Fabio wants to move to Acropolis to live, but he prefers to travel and has just come from Acropolis. The party leave Fabio alone and keep traveling.

The next day of travel one of Kael's boots breaks. Kael casts so not to walk on his bare foot.
===8th September===
The third day of travel is uneventful and the party arrive back in Hearthome.
The party find that the people Hearthome are raising a statue of a muscular human male. The craftsman say it is a statue of Cadia. Cadia, who is 6'8" is apparently the greatest hero in all the land, who came from the East. He wrestled off some giants that threatened the valley. Fabio the Bard spread stories about Cadia. The party decide to go meet with Fabio after Kael gets some new boots.
Farmer Jon and his family see around Hearthome and they are hopeful for their futures. Kael has Manfred take Jon and his family off west to their home to get set up.
The party then go in search of Cadia. The second village they visit Cadia is in the village square doing feats of strength. Kael casts on Cadia, but it just blows Cadia's hair in a dramatic way. Cadia then spits a giant bolder in half with his bare hands. Kael casts and sees that Cadia is covered in magic.
Abaddon calls out Cadia for being a fraud. The very tall and muscular Cadia walks over to confront Abaddon over his allegations. Kael asks Cadia to join the party in their fight against the Ogres. Cadia says he will defend the valley but not go off and attack the ogres. Cadia then struts off.
Abaddon tries to incite the party to fight with Cadia, but Nyx works out that Abaddon's issue is one of envy. Izual goes speak with Cadia again, calling him a fraud. Cadia again says he will defend the valley from Ogres but won't just go with the party into the forest without reason. Abaddon casts on Cadia, freezing him in place. Izual floats and draws their flame blade out as Abaddon removes Cadia's loincloth, but it isn't his the source of power.
The party then start to walk off. Kael casts on top of the held Cadia. Cadia however vanishes in the cloud and is replace with a much smaller, 5'3" human male with regular clothes in. Cadia, really Tom the Illusionist, admits he isn't actually strong and had just cast . The party let Tom go and go back to Acropolis to rest and get drunk in the tavern.
