Aguero awakens after be knocked out hours before. He stumble's upon Psaro's body which has been stripped of his scales. He decides to leave his body and finds his staff then makes another deal with Sachayoj to trade his taste for the location of Mathite. Meanwhile Aragi's squad is still at the stables in Kyesi, trying to figure out what happened to Mal. Phylyco and Di-Syl decide to head back to Aethel (City), knowing that Mal can take care of himself. Aragi and Bizzy decide to stay and find the Half-Orc. They figure out that he is in a building nearby and Aragi climbs to enter from the top while Bizzy goes through the front door. Bizzy yells up to Aragi but luckily no one hears him. He opens every door including a bathroom where a naked dwarf woman is showering. she begins to scream for help and one of the tatted elves comes down and they get into a fight. Bizzy kills the elf in ONE PUUUUUNCH!!! Aragi makes it to the top floor and starts checking rooms and enters a room where a Drow man is grabbing a book from a shelf. The Drow notices him immediately and they talk about the building and Mal. Aragi gets no real answers and two guards walk in. Bizzy yells for Aragi again then goes up to the next floor where he finds Mal, chained up surrounded by five elves. Aragi accuses the Drow of homosexuality and finds out his wife is in the building. He then goes with the guards, unresisting. Bizzy attempts to intimidate the elves to no avail so he prepares to fight them. Aragi kills the two guards as they're going down the stairs and Mal goes into a rage and breaks from his chains to help Bizzy. Aragi arrives and they take out the rest of the opponents. Mal passes out but not after thanking Bizzy for saving him and they carry him back to the carriage and leave the city.
That night Aguero finds a small camp where Mathite is being held by a pack of eleven Kobolds. He manages to get her free but then someone grabs him from behind and asks where the horse is. It's an elf. He lets him go and tries to get them out of there but the two don't get out of sight before the Kobolds come back outside. They get surrounded and the leader will let Aguero go for Mathite but she attacks and they start to fight off the pack. Aguero goes down but luckily the elf comes back and does some shadow dancing. Mathite then goes down but the elf manages to kill the remaining Kobolds and waits for the others to wake back up. Once Aguero reawakens again, he tries to convince their savoir, Jamven, to join them on their quest to Prin and he tells him that he will be back but has to get this horse back to Hylophagous first and leaves. Mathite wakes up and they decide to camp for the night at the Kobold cave. The next morning they wake up and Aguero lets it slip that he left Psaro's body unprotected and Mathite runs off to find it. They find it being devoured by a pack of wolves and fight and kill them.
Mathite and Aguero get into an argument over the half-elf's incompetence. She shrugs him off and they bury the remains, finally. Meanwhile Phylyco and Di-Syl arrive back at Aethel and Phylyco gives up his horse to the STG. They go to report to Hylophagous and the tiefling brushes off the rogue about his payment again. He goes to Lara to convince her to pay him and she promises nothing. The Saint asks Di-Syl how he felt about the mission and Aragi's leadership. Di-Syl explains Aragi in detail but doesn't answer the question until the Saint reiterates his question and he snitches hard body. Phylyco asks Mort where Aguero is and the gnome tells him about how Psaro is dead and the blind man took the body along with Mathite west. He then goes to the STG house to send a crow to Aguero. Jamven returns and tells Hylophagous what happened. Phylyco tries to get paid and succeeds, but not before bashing Aragi's leadership, hard body. Meanwhile Aragi tries Northbled for the first time and passes out immediately. Back in the capitol Lara hands Phylyco an appointment card for Doctor Furven Chorster. He sees that Di-Syl and Mort also have them and it freaks him out.
The next morning Aragi's team make it back to Aethel. Aragi decides Bizzy, Mal and the carriage should stay outside of town until they can get Hylophagous to help. The half-elf gets to the circus and lets the Saint know Mal is injured and they need some money to solve the problem Bizzy caused the other day when they left. They get the carriage back in town and solve the money problem but Bizzy is wanted in town so he has to stay hidden. The night prior it was determined that it is a race to see who can get the target first. In time Di-Syl arrives at the Surgeon and Phylyco sneaks in before him. Di-Syl goes in but is excused because "The Doctor is Out" so he sneaks in elsewhere. Phylyco gets upstairs and locks Mort in a closet before moving on. Di-Syl sets a bear trap in the office and observes the nurse preparing a surgery. Phylyco finds the doctor and immediately shoots his phantom bow at him. He gets right in his face and asks about elves which confuses the doctor so he just slits his throat. He hides the body in a pigeon cage and leaves the note "The Doctor is Out". Di-Syl kills the nurse with a sickle as the patient is dosing of into his drug-induced coma. Meanwhile Aguero again tries to delve into the life of his companion with little success. He receives the letter from Phylyco and responds asking for him to come help them rather than confirmation they will return. The crew is still preparing for the performance and Phylyco and Aragi argue yet again. Hylophagous breaks it up by calling a meeting. Aragi gets promoted to temporary leader until Mal gets better leading Bizzy, Di-Syl, Mort, and Vida. Phylyco has to go find his squad, Aguero and Mathite along with the shadow dancer, Jamven. As they get dismissed, Aragi asks how many more, and gets no answer. Bizzy and Di-Syl are given jobs in the circus which neither are pleased about. Aragi asks Lara about his number and she agrees to look into it for him. Di-Syl continues his inquiry about the mask. Bizzy gets Boris to morph into a lion. Aragi plans his show without Aguero for the first time since he joined. And Phylyco reads the note the doctor was writing to his daughter Eiv. The show commences with Hylophagous introducing all the performers. Bizzy is the most popular and makes the most prophet almost tripling some of the others. Hylophagous congratulates everyone and Mal invites everyone out for drinks at Copperbeard's. Most of them go but Bizzy tries to break into the blacksmith again and the minotaur catches him. He is almost killed before they come to a compromise and part ways for (hopefully) the last time. The next morning in the pouring rain Aguero and Mathite arrive at the Ruins of Dawnrise. Aguero drinks a potion of clairvoyance and it sends him into an emotional flashback...
It is the 9th Sun of Gemini, 170 A.T. A possessed Aguero is roaming the ruins and spots a caravan consisting of a half-orc, an elderly dragon, a platinum blonde human, and a tiefling scavenging for loot. He sneaks over and attacks the human. He is thrown off and surrounded and a familiar black smoke protrudes from his mouth and he comes too. The man introduces himself and the dragon suggest they take him with them. The last thing is the human handing Aguero one of the bandanas on his arm to cover his eyes with.
...Aguero breaks his silence and goes to the rubble his childhood home was and says goodbye to his parents one last time. Meanwhile Phylyco receives the message from Aguero in arcana. He can read it fine, cause he's not blind, and continues on his day. Aragi wakes up with no recollection of the night prior. Which terrifies him and he spends the day figuring out what happened. He ends up back at the bar and finds out he simply lost a card game against Copperbeard. Elsewhere Di-Syl is at the library and is looking for info on Black Lotus. He finds a restricted area with a symbol of the STG so he investigates to figure out how to get in. He sees that Phylyco has a pin with the symbol and tries to convince him to help a brotha out to no avail. Aragi penalizes Bizzy for his shenanigans again. Di-Syl confronts Hylophagous about the symbol and gets his answers. Phylyco goes to Jamven to give him the great news that he is a part of his team now and the elf doesn't quite believe him until the boss informs him personally. They head off to find their allies and a shadowy figure watches them leave from a rooftop.
