Fate's Crossover

The group sells off parts of the dragon, and commissions armor to be made. Salix tells the rest that she heard from Leona, and that Fate's Chosen is coming to help them.

Meanwhile, in Wolfecrest, Aureo gives Leona one last kiss and heads out. Leona gets the rest of Fate's Chosen into a private room, and tells them about the dragon's egg in the basement. Xytharia goes to swipe the dragon egg to take with them, and the rest of the group ask Leona how she knows about it. She admits that she has a vision, and they're all very suspicious of what effects this vision might have had on Leona. Xytharia returns with the egg.

In Grassgrave, the group heads into a place called Carla's Cafe to get something to eat. Kendell gets them a few drinks, and asks the proprietor to cook up some of the dragon meat into bacon. Salix begins making up some salads for them.

Xytharia tells Fate's Chosen that she can make them immune to poison as they get ready to head out. Atlas quickly goes and says goodbye to Sura. A cleric named Antonia arrives and teleports them to a temple of Avandra in Grassgrave. Elden seems a little uncomfortable returning to his hometown. Leona contacts Salix to ask where they are.

Fate's Chosen and Sunday Friends meet with Leona and Salix embracing excitedly. Xytharia and Kendell talk briefly about their mutual knowledge of the Raven Queen. Alexander and Dev, as it turns out, met in previous travels. Alexander points out that Dev and their friends are meeting the future empress of Senmarria. Kesra eats some dragon bacon. Atlas tells Kendell about their mutual acquaintance of Sura. Dev comments on Leona's hair, and she tells them that it changes colors sometimes.

Xytharia asks what the plan is for the dragon. She points out that if they talk to him, the things that he might ask them to do might be worse than just fighting him, as green dragons love to corrupt good people. The group debates the relative merits of just attacking him versus talking first. Kyrie asks Fate's Chosen about their previous encounter with the dragon. Atlas asks about Kendell and his friend's fighting abilities. Salix points out the training that Kendell got from Sentinel, whose name Fate's Chosen recognizes. They decide that Kendell should take point in talking to the dragon.

Dev asks what's so special about the Sword of Kas, and Xytharia tells them the story of it. When the Whispered One was gaining power, he had a right-hand man, a lieutenant named Kas. Kas betrayed him at some point, and had a terrible obsidian sword that was greedy, and urged him to overthrow the Whispered One. Kas was defeated, but the sword continues to seek out necromancers and people who might be able to defeat the Whispered One.

The group discuss the sword, and its importance. Kesra points out that it can try to corrupt people, and Kyrie wonders if Atlas could get in fast, steal the sword, and get out. Xytharia points out that, if they steal the sword and leave the dragon alive, it will likely burn down towns looking for it.

They discuss getting to the Grimm, and Kesra says that they know the last person who took the sword from the dragon, wondering if they should go talk to him. Salix worries about whether something similar could happen to Kendell as happened to that person. Elden is eager to get out on the road, and they head outside.

Alexander sits down next to Dev. They catch up a bit, talking about their respective relationships with Kesra and Kyrie. Dev introduces Kyrie and Alexander to each other.

Kyrie catches Leona and asks her about her hair-color changes, revealing that their hair does the same, and that they are from the Feywild. Leona asks what their favorite part of the Feywild is, and Kyrie says that they last place they called home was a small village at the foot of a mountain, where it's always twilight. They also mention the Queen of Air and Darkness. Leona asks why they are here, and Kyrie says that they were exiled after losing in a conflict between the seely and unseely court.

The two parties make their way out of the tavern, and Kyrie heads to a wooded spot, summoning an enormous, majestic Elk as a mount. The large group begins to make their way toward the Grimm. Kendell makes an effort to speak with each member of Fate's Chosen. In the process, he learns a little more about the relationship between Sura and Atlas.

At some point in the 3 days of travel, Leona pulls Salix aside, asking her about Sentinel. Salix says that they've only bumped into each other a few times, and that people are making a bigger deal out of it than it is, though she does like him.

Kyrie spends time while they're travelling getting to know their new mount, learning that its name is Tawn. They also approach Kesra, asking her what it was like the first time they faced this dragon. She admits it was surprising and terrifying. Kyrie notes how green Salix, Kendell, and Dev are, asking Kesra's guess as to the chances they'll survive. She does not give them good odds.

On the third day, they arrive at the settlement of elves. Unfortunately, they find the village wiped out. 100 elves dead, of an infectious disease, called Dragon Pox, probably about 2 weeks ago. Working together, the two groups bury the bodies. Salix says a prayer to Kord for their own safety, hearing a deafening clap of thunder in response. Dev crosses off the village on their map, and speaks to Avandra, asking for just a little luck. Kendell sticks close to Xytharia, watching everything she does, carefully.

The two groups share a hero's feast. Leona notices a necklace hanging around Dev's neck. She asks them about it, and Dev says it was a gift. She points out to them that it's magical, which they hadn't realized. Atlas proposes a toast, to themselves, and to those left at home. Kyrie pulls aside Dev, Kendell, and Salix. They pull them all into a group hug, with Salix picking up Dev, and casts Aid on them.

They all get closer to the dragon, encountering a thicket. As they investigate, they find that it seems to be some kind of hedge maze. Leona flies up to get a better view, directing them through. They come to the dragon's lair and nervously enter, with Kesra, Leona, and Alexander hanging back a little bit.

They engage with discussing with Daventarth, telling him that they have come for a particular black sword on a pedestal. He laughs in delight when he sees Kesra. He asks what they're willing to do for this sword. He tells them to bring him the dead body of Aikaterina Knezevac, or her wife, Ever Hasan. He tells them that Aikaterina is the reason Daventarth's mate is dead. Xytharia steps up and asks if it would suffice to bring an egg from Daventarth's mate, but he doesn't believe they're capable of such a thing. Kendell says he'll just have to take a life, then, and casts Eldritch Blast on the Dragon.
