## The Story Thus Far

##### Prelude

The Party once consisted of Grimazura the bard, Baisley the sorcerer, Deidre the rogue, Thana the barbarian and Dalynn the warlock. They met up coincidentally in the city of Aethrad one way or another, meeting their lovely citizens, such as the big strong blacksmith Bob and the ever so uncomfortably creepy but a masterful tailor, Aenelis. Seeing as how none of them were real adventurers yet, they decided to group up and go to the local Adventurers Guild. After being registered, there they accepted a quest to deal with some kobolds at a nearby cave. After the harsh reality of being adventurers kick in, they barely managed to defeat this group of kobolds, but in that same cave they noticed something peculiar. A set of big wooden doors was inside that cave and when they went in, they found that the room inside contained a prophecy written on the walls, a prophecy which entailed that there were 3 eggs, red, blue and green, which were going to hatch soon into dragons and that their ultimate goal was to destroy the very world that they lived in.

##### Draconic Prevention Arc

Burdened by the knowledge of this prophecy, they told the local guild master about it, which she then contacted a noble who had already been looking into the same prophecy. The party then decided to relax for a bit at the beach, which was where they met the very same noble that was contacted, alongside his servant/bodyguard. This noble's name was Zallan, a rather grumpy looking halfling who was followed by his bodyguard, Mogun, which was more obviously brawn than brain. They relayed the information that they knew and soon went to the very same cave, only to find a group of cultists and what looked to be their leader inside it already. Seeing the party, the cultists attacked, but yet again our party prevails with the help of Mogun's might. Though their leader vanished into thin air, escaping the party whilst promising the day of reckoning upon them. But not all was lost, as they finally got their first clue, the location of the blue egg.

Quickly they ventured out to its location, but it was located behind the so called Forest of Spirits, where many enter but none return. Seeing as there was no where else to go, they begrudgingly went along. It was here where they met Estahn the monk, but also losing Dalynn as she met her end to a banshee. As her patron collected her soul, he set his sights on a new warlock already, the party's very own Baisley. In the forest, they met a deer spirit which after proving themselves to her, were given passage to leave the forest. It was then that they realized that behind the forest was a secret dwarven civilization, and the mountain where the egg was held.

It was in this civilization where they met a brilliant inventor who made some of the very first warforged, a failed experiment named Groovebot, a musical robot with a single wheel for locomotion that had an affinity for shooting ketamine darts at people and apparently his greatest creation Inabi, a warrior warforged built for combat. Inabi was told to join the party to help out and soon they went into the mountain to find the dragon egg before the cultists do, but alas, they were too late. After a hard fought battle, the cultist's leader paralyzed the whole party as he quickly snatched up the now hatching blue egg and called the baby blue dragon Simon.

Recovering from their first defeat, they still had high hopes to find the next one, but not before convincing the inventor to let Groovebot join them as well. They went back to Aethrad to tell Zallan what happened and find out where the 2nd egg's location was, only to find that the whole town was preparing to celebrate someone's birthday. There they met a rather eccentric but overall laidback woman who was walking around the city telling everyone to get ready for the party which they later found out was the mother of the birthday girl, a noblewoman by the name of Shiraz Quintessa. They were told to help out and prepare a gift for the party. The party booked the entire Gold district of Aethrad for its purpose and at the end they met her daughter, Astraliz Quintessa. Seeing as they didn't really have a gift for her, they offered up Groovebot, which leapt into her arms with the promise of new legs. This would start the party's acquaintance with the Quintessas.

Soon they had the location of the 2nd egg, which was the green egg. It was situated somewhere in the Monster Safari. Along the way the met up with a woman who seemed to know Estahn. That woman was named Erina Belladonix, and she was actually someone from that cult and it was here that we found out that Estahn was once part of their cult but got kicked out. Seeing as how Estahn was once part of the same cult, she warned him not to go any further. Of course, he didn't listen and he trekked on with his party. Along the way, they were attacked by a female wyvern and after killing it, was attacked by her mate. Having used up most of their resources, they thought it'd be the end of them, but they were saved by a group of actual monster hunters who had already been dealing with these threats on the daily.

One of these hunters had a pet dragon and so they thought that he knew about it, turns out however, he didn't but he invited them to their village of other monster hunters. It was here where Baisley found a tiefling girl that she liked but ultimately ghosted her after a one night stand. They found where the egg was located along with the other hunters but in a turn of events, Erina teleported in front of them and summoned beasts to fight the party as she waited for the green egg to hatch. As it did, the dragon was named Theodore by Erina and it spewed a toxic gas from its mouth that started filling up the room. Before leaving however, Erina summoned one final beast, which then the tiefling girl's father sacrificed himself to fight it, letting everyone else escape.

Ultimately defeated once more and having lost one of their members, they held a funeral as the party watched. They returned back to Aethrad, where they again met Shiraz Quintessa, who was holding yet another party. It would seem this time it was to make her daughter the head of their family business and therefore become one of the members of the council in Aethrad. She invited them to her mansion to meet her and become Astraliz's bodyguards as she fears that this party might attract unwanted attention. The party agreed and at the mansion, they met an upgraded groovebot who had legs now and it seemed that Inabi had a change of heart and willingly retired from battle and became a sort of maid to the Quintessas.

It was also at this time that Zallan introduced a penguin Aarakocra cleric named Xerxes to the party, saying that he wanted adventure and recommended the adventuring party for him. The coronation party was about to begin, and after greeting some guests, Estahn noticed something felt off about the animalian noble guest at the party. It turns out that it was no noble, but an assassin. The party quickly took him out but the assassin killed himself before getting questioned further. Luckily for them, the assassin wasn't a very good one, and had a clue to where he came from, a guild named the Virdi Verde. Astraliz upon seeing this was furious and hired the party to take care of the assassin's guild. Coincidentally, the final 3rd egg's location was also in Animalia as Baisley's patron told her that a previous warlock of his was also located there and he wanted her to kill that warlock on the promise of more power as that previous warlock had disobeyed him. They were all ready to go, except one, Grimazura, who had actually been banished from Animalia due to some unfortunate circumstances happening with a corrupt noble named Sleezo. Ultimately however, they had to go to Animalia.

##### Early Animalian Arc

The adventurers, now prepared to set out on a long journey, travel through Carnivora to eventually arrive in the capital of Animalia, Zalfari. The plan would've gone without a hitch, had it not been for a sudden attack by a pack of gnolls. These gnolls lead the group back to their village, claiming to want only a single thing. As Estahn and Thana went to negotiate with their leader, the rest of the group stayed behind. While Grimazura taught the gnolls about music, Estahn spoke with their leader; a being both eldritch and foul in the body of a baby. This was a party member's first encounter with The Pink Hyena.

The Pink Hyena spoke about his only desire that has yet to be quenched. He was given everything he could ever want, but up to this point, no one could understand what he meant when he spoke of mommy milkies. After some thought, Estahn knew exactly what the demon child wanted. After telling the gnolls, the party went on their way as though nothing happened, but not before The Pink Hyena could privately tell Estahn about his lost artifact, the elusive Exhaustion Gun.

Before arriving in Zalfari, the party was brought into a town named Fursworth. In this town, the party temporarily aided the police force, boasting the likes of El the Loxodon, Corgius, and his son Corgius Jr. At this point, as to remain unseen by officials, Grimazura began to use her Ring of Mimicry to disguise herself within the bags of her fellow party members. As their first paid job with the police force, the party was tasked with taking out a cultist sneaking around the town's graveyards at night. As they confronted the cultist, he unveiled his masterpiece. A single, giant monster known only as, the Grave Behemoth.

The battle was long, but in the end the party was able to take out the monster. The party suffered a tragic loss with the demise of Deidre, to the hands of a zombified menace known only to Grimazura. After the battle, the cultist attempted to fight the heavily weakened party, when out of nowhere, a group of nuns appeared. The nuns beat the cultist in one fell swoop, not noticing the party at all. That is, until they saw a face that they recognized. These were the same nuns that raised Grimazura.

After realizing the implications of Grim's return, the nuns immediately rushed to give the party refuge in a place further away from Sleezo. The group was taken to a church in a nearby town next to an orphanage. It was at this point that Grimazura explained why she was banned from Animalia. After this the party began to realize the cultist's origins and importance. This cult had taken Thana's sister, it held Baisley's assassination target, and it was the reason for the attempted terrorist attack at Quintessa Manor. If they could find the cult's origin, nearly all their problems would be solved.
