### Part I

The session begins with the party being transported to a strange island after walking through the mirror from the first Ninvi Dawaes challenge. The scenery is a thick forest next to a beach with calming waves flowing on the shores. A nearby shack drew attention as the only landmark and upon reaching the shack the party joined other adventurers who were waiting for further instruction. Rolym approached a strange looking racoon/human hybrid and boldly asked why she was a racoon. The racoon girl was not interested at all and left before Lavi could apologise on Rolym's behalf. From the water a man was riding a whale towards the group and skilfully surfed along the waves with other sea life accompanying him. The man introduced himself as Lewah and advised that he was the instructor for the second exam. Other groups came out from the forest to hear instructions for the next exam and Lewah greeted all 152 participants with a congratulations for completing the first exam. Lewah went to the nearby shack and brought out a giant leather bag, (almost destroying the shack door in the process) he showed a device that would list a series of tasks that needed to be completed to advance to the third exam. The device shower 9 different tasks in a bingo tile like setting, each person would need to have 2 lines completed in the bingo chart so if people were smart they would only need to complete 5-6 tasks to complete the challenge. The 2nd exam would start at 9am and participants have 48hours to complete the exam, with that Lewah dropped the bag of devices and rushed back into the water for a swim (the man clearly loved water). Participants began rushing to collect their device and Rolym (still fused with his dragon kushaira) flew forward and collected 5 devices for the party.

With the exam not starting till 9am the next morning, the party spent the afternoon doing some quick scouting of the island to gain an early advantage. Rolym and Lavi went to the skies and Rolym carried Lavi to try to spot Bariel Peak as one of the tasks was to take a photo at the top of the peak. Xavier, Sade and Vex did some scouting through the forests to search for 1 of the 18 shrines that participants needed to make an offering to. Xavier, Sade and Vex found a shrine but noticed it was getting further away the closer they got (almost like a mirage in the desert) and just as they looked away...it vanished from sight. Rolym and Lavi re-joined with the group and stated that Bariel Peak looked to be about an hour away and with night on its way the party found a place to make camp. Rolym brings out his camping tools he bought previous and sets them up, thanks to his blindsight from aura the darkness of the night didn't bother him. Xavier noticed this and tapped Rolym on the shoulder in an encouraging way which made Rolyms clothes glow with a blue light. Rolym of course didn't notice and became a human torch to light up the camp while the others worked on making a fire/gathering some food. The party rests through the night with minimal issues, on Vex and Xaviers watch a strange creature knocks over the fire but scurries off without causing harm to anyone. The group wakes up bright and early at 7am to get their bearings a bit more before the exam starts, everyone was feeling pumped up to complete these tasks as soon as possible.

Following a group discussing the party decided the best course of action would be to split up into two teams. Rolym and Lavi would fly to the top of Bariel Peak and take a picture from the top while Xavier, Sade and Vex would search for the shrine once again and keep an eye on it this time. Rolym instead of summoning Teimrios to fly had instead gained a new power through training and by placing his hand on Lavi's back both of them were enveloped in dragon scale armour with a pair of wings attached. The two flew off to Bariel Peak and with only 30 mins flight they arrived to find ferocious wind pressure pushing downward from above the peak which blocks their path. Lavi goes first and makes it through the wind quite skilfully....until....a goat comes flying from the mountainside and rams right into her sending her back down to hover next to Rolym. It seems the wind pressure wasn't the opponent...it was a suicidal goat. Lavi made a second attempt narrowly missing the goat and made it to Bariel Peak, Lavi took her photo and flew back down to notice THE GOAT taking a dump in the background of the picture. It was Rolym's turn and he flew up through the wind and the goat seemed to take a different approach this time as a flying poop landed right on Rolym's face. A disgusted Rolym continued up the peak and after a few failed pictures he heard a ding on the bingo device. While this was happening Xavier, Sade and Vex continued their search for the Shrine and after many gruelling hours....they had found it.

The shrine was a small Shinto shrine that had a small offering plate, the offering seemed to be quite specific and upon investigation the group realised that would need a certain type of apple called the Faillien Apple. Thankfully it only took 30mins of searching and Xavier, Sade and Vex had found an apple to offer the shrine, a small ding on their devices had rewarded them with a mission complete. The party then traded missions, Rolym and Lavi went to give an offering to a shrine with Xavier, Sade and Vex tried their luck with Bariel Peak. Rolym transferred his armour to Vex and Sade as they could carry Xavier to move through the wind pressure. The three completed taking a picture at the peak as Xavier bypassed the goat by shifting his body into plasma which left the goat well roasted after passing through Xavier. The party regrouped and how now completed 2 tasks each before the end of the first day, felt like everyone was making good progress in this exam. Next up on the bingo list was collecting journals/records from previous explorers on the island and to decode the messages they held. Considering the difficulty of finding a series of papers in a jungle the party decided to work together and spend the next few hours investigating until sunset was nearly upon them. The party had located some records in a old campsite, the campsite held skeletons and travellers gear that had become frail and useless after being exposed to the elements for so long. Pages from journals were scattered in the travellers dusty clothes and ripped tents, the party gathered them together and spent the evening decoding the messages. Xavier and Rolym went to look for any sign that an island guardian might be lurking while the party decoded the messages Rolym and Xavier discover some interesting monster tracks which lead to an opening in the jungle with a small waterhole being replenished by a roaring waterfall. Rolym and Xavier find that the tracks lead into the waterfall and then disappear, the two endure the crushing strength of the waterfall and pass through it to find a deep cave that seems to increase in depth the longer they stare into it.

### Part II

After most of the group decode the message hidden in the journal they take a short rest at the waterhole, while it was a slim chance that the island guardian was hiding in the cave and not out hunting the party felt they would need every trick in their arsenal to defeat it. Lavi began tending to everyone's minor injuries and finished just as the sun started going down. Everyone was confident and began striding down into the cave, the small luminescent rocks and unsettling scuttling of small reptiles provided ambience to the journey....then the party stumbled upon a fork in the road. Each path looked uninviting and the party decided on going left which led down to a small opening with a pit of animal carcasses. The bones looked like they were picked clean with barely any meat left, rats began to scurry and Rolym summoned a spear of wind before tossing it into the pit. To Rolym's disappointment, no giant island guarding leaped out to take the bait...but just to be sure Rolym summoned a small chainsaw out of wind, turned it on and chucked it into the bone pile. The accompanying screams of rats and crushing of bones wasn't pleasant to the ears and the party stared at Rolym in disgust before heading back to try going down the right side of the fork in the road. The right tunnel proved to be far longer and for some reason much much warmer. The tunnel opened to an underground chamber of rock, bones and bubbling purple ooze. In the centre lay a large skeletal frame of a creature resembling a reptile of some sort which was being dissolved by the sheer heat that this room produced.

Everyone treaded carefully to look around for signs of the island guardian however it seemed that the guardian wasnt home....that was until Rolym decided to place a hand into the purple ooze which instantly began burning his skin but that wasn't the worst of it. As if the monster could feel through the ooze a large monster began to rise out of a lake of ooze. The guardian had the body of a snake, A reptillion/fox head with teeth sharp enough to rip into bone. There was a body hanging from its mouth which could be discerned from the racoon like tail, the party had interrupted the guardian as it was eating and it lashed out to attack. Vex rushed forward and summoned a mystical scythe that almost seemed to freeze the air around her, she slashed at the guardian but the intense heat producing from its body lessened the power...it seemed this creature was a bad match for Vex. Sade, Rolym and Xavier surrounded the creature and didnt waste time lashing out with a flurry of attacks from Sade's katana, Xavier's shield and Rolym's fists. The guardian shook off this barrage before unlashing its own, thick bubbles began to form around its body before rushing towards the party and exploding in a mix of poisonous/blazing gas. Lavi used her experimental revolver to fire a mix of lead and botanist creature to provide support while provided lightning fast medical aid to the party. Vex and Xavier took some heavy hits but the party manage to fend the guardian off and it scurried back into the ooze but as the battle seemed won the guardian arose from the depths enraged. The underground chamber began to shake and the very air shifted to a blazing inferno that burned to party...the battle had only just began with the party already beaten and bruised. A orb of ferocious energy flew at vex before she could react and knocked her off her feet. Vex was down and the guardian seemed to become more intelligent as flung a volley of bubbles at everyone while hiding in the safety of toxic ooze. Rolym pulled out his trump card and summoned a roaring hurricane on top of the guardian but the guardian simply dipped back under the ooze to obscure itself from view. The battle became very one sided with Sade, Xavier and Lavi all falling to the guardians might. In a last ditch effort Rolym rushes over to revive Sade as Sade's lightning blade seemed to be the guardians only weakness. Sade rose with a new found spirit, he looked around at the downed party and become overcome with rage. Sade channelled his last remaining aura into his blade as the lightning jumped and crackled around him, in a mere 2 seconds Sade unleashed 6 flashes of lightning instantly which left devastating burns across the creature, it was paralyzed as electricity bound its body. The guardian let out a vicious screech in its final breath as a final slash of pure energy split the creature down the middle with a inhuman crunch of bones...and with that...the island guardian collapsed and sunk into the Ooze from whence it came.

## Trivia

* Crit Counter: #
* **Goroawase:** The session number (14) can be read as 'Tooshi', which can be written to mean a 'consecutive run'. This may refer to Auraliyaen Executive recycling ideas from former campaigns - with the second exam in Campaign Four being set in the same place.
* As DM described the purple toxic ooze the guardian resided in, ItzFuzzii made the comparison to semen. Whilst not reflected in the memes; many, *many* jokes were made, including a redubbing of 'A Decade in Blue'...
