Reach (For the Stars)

It was finally time to get back to business, it was agreed that Reach was probably the best place to go. Take down part of the propaganda machine, and do it before the Tawry’s really started to notice things were going wrong. So the party set forth on the Bevan to as close as they could get. Cue another training montage.

Upon arrival, despite literally knowing where the warehouse was, they marched straight into Reach anyway. But not before realising that there was a distinctly... segregated society at work, with Halfings and Dwarves doing much of the manual labour andHumans looking on. Taeral who had some knowledge of the area recalled that the area they were in is known as Balaur’s Bounty and represents one of the largest agricultural areas in the entire Covidian Isles. The Humans moved into the area and took it the fuck over, diverting a lot of the products to their cities and towns.

Because of this the group decided to have some chill and before marching right into the centre tried to see who might be able to get in without raising too much suspicion. The Halflings (Rebmaris and Paddy), and Diana decided to look around the rest of the town. Whilst Taeral, Tsenre, and Drayke decided to investigate the centre of the town.

It all started well, with the outskirts crew meeting the ‘Head Hafling’ or at least the dude trying to garner some resistance in town, and got the lowdown on the warehouse and what the deal was in Reach. Essentially what Taeral told them and they got from the guy at the library warehouse. The centre group asked around to see who was in charge and if they could have a meeting, managing to get some facetime with the town Mayor Dacre. But that quickly devolved into needing to flee from an angry mob. Happened very suddenly, who knows.

The two groups regrouped outside of the Warehouse at the edge of town. After sneaking past the gate guards, they made it into the warehouse and played the inspector card once again. After a ‘fire drill’ aka setting a pile of shit on fire, they managed to gather all of the employees and guards outside, but not before one of them managed to use a stone of farspeech to call up the warehouse boss. Shit got wild, with Mordai blasting a group of them to high heaven and most of the party fleeing inside the warehouse to see if they could get the portal to the Library activated.

Things quickly devolved, with Dacre and a further group of soldiers turning up to try and deal with the situation. After a blast that killed Remaris, Paddy managed to activate the portal to the Library and dip through to get reinforcements, returning with The Abbott. A knock-down fight took place, with everyone being knocked-out at least once, but they managed to get the best of Dacre, and after attempting to flee a solid quarter-staff hit from Diana took him out. A resurrection took place, thanks to the power of the Abbott, and the group had a look around, finding shipping documents with some names they recognised - giving some useful clues to locations.
Moganius - Moganius Manor
Malinus H - Whipdif Harbour - Sanitorium Ship
PTPL - Visi Tawry Club
Wane - Harpa

The group made their way to The Bevan and had a rest day to heal their wounds and get briefed on what they actually needed to start doing, now that it’s time to get on with the list given to them. The first target was Malinus - the intel suggested he was somewhere around Whipdif, with the shipping manifest from the warehouse suggesting potentially hiding on Lastria Sanitorium island. However the waters around Whipdif were highly controlled, and a ship the size of The Bevan couldn’t just pull up. So the group would need to make their way on foot, through the Eerie Woods, and find the Arbeit agent on the ground, Onyx who could be found on a ship called The Wee Lassie in Whipdif harbour.
