Session 80

The party arrives in Alibrook to help Keera Andromeda. While there, Kiono is confronted by her past, and Sors is worried about her future.

## Summary

The party arrived safely in Alibrook via carriage. The Adventurer's League building had been reduced to only encompass the office and barracks. The crater that was once the starter dungeon had been mostly filled in and converted to a park. A multi-tiered tower of scrapwood and metal was in the process of being built, apparently intended to be a communal living quarters for the goblins living in Alibrook. A ten-foot tall iron fence had been built around the Great Feather Inn in a clear desire to separate itself from the goblins.

The party proceeded on to Keera Andromeda's shop. She had hired a daytime assistant, a goblin who was wearing a purple outfit similar to Cornelius. She explained that she had been working on a simulation to replace the starter dungeon, but had ultimately decided that it was unethical and dangerous, so had scrapped it. Instead, she had set up a device she wanted them to test. It was intended to extend the range and power of spell effects. After attuning the item to a particular school of magic, any spell cast within the vicinity of it would be repeated centered on the cube. The party took the cube, and Sors immediately sat nearby and began to tune it to enchantment. The rest of the party left for the inn to obtain chicken nuggets.

After getting their food, they noticed two cloaked figures enter the inn. One of them revealed herself to be Saiyo, one of Kiono's classmates in the village. She informed the party that they had been sent by Enooto to retrieve Kiono, as the world outside the village was too dangerous for her to remain there. Kiono refused, so the two made to leave. Before exiting, however, the taller, still-masked person threw a bead of light toward the party, which exploded in a Fireball. Ephemera's ghost form was popped, and most of the patrons in the room were killed immediately. The party engaged the two, Kitano entering to assist in the combat. The still-masked figure revealed themself to be Matsumae, her head skeletal and burned, a clear indentation in the left portion of her skull. A single, smouldering eye glared out at them. She grabbed Saiyo, knocked out by the party, and departed despite the party's best efforts. Teer and Sors did their best to rescue any survivors from the inn, though there were not many. Kaafiye and several other guild officials arrived to help put out the fire.

Teer located Concludion around the back of the inn slumped against a tree, surrounded by the bodies of several guards apparently also from the village. Kiono was panicking so badly that Teer couldn't get any answers from her, so asked Kitano who the two figures had been. He explained that they had been Kiono's classmates, and that the guards were probably about half of the guard of the village. Enooto herself never left the village, but because of his interference, she would know that he was opposing her.

Teer gave the owner of the inn 2,000 gold pieces to help with repairs. The party moved to the Green Hill Tavern to rest and regroup. Kitano declared that the group should split up in an effort to divide Enooto's forces. It was agreed that he and Concludion would leave together, while the party continued with their plans. They left swiftly. The party decided that it would be a good idea to recover Sors' body from Hedemora sooner than later. Nervous about that, Sors was granted her request to rest for a day before agreeing to pursue her body. They agreed, and spent the night in the guild's barracks. The next day, a storm rolled in.

Akaros explained that Hedemora used Nox's false lair as his base of operations, and that it was located in Hzera near Barovia on the material plane. They considered the possibility that the scroll of Recall they had gained during the attack on the Platinum Disc might have taken them to the false lair, ensuring them a fast journey there.

Taking her day to relax, Sors retrieved 100 gold picees of her money from Teer and went shopping. She got her hair cut by some goblins in town, though they did so by chewing her hair. As Kiono was incredibly uncomfortable remaining in Alibrook, the group teleported to Oceanside rest of Sors' day off.

There, Teer took Sors to Life is Pain. Xelbari, being extremely bored, agreed to fix her haircut, though he complained the entire time about how bored out of his mind he was. Teer asked what it was that he did that wasn't holding his interest, and Xelbari explained that as a lord of hell, but that was hardly any effort. Xelbari then made the trio milkshakes.

Shaken by the previous day's events, Kiono spent a couple of hours staring out over the ocean. She then went to the palace, searching out Prince Haziz or perhaps Ecostress to distract her. Finding neither, she instead found herself in the library, where she looked for resources to help her with her plans for dealing with the Devoured. Once again not finding what she was looking for, she instead went out and engaged in "Oceanside shenanigans."

The next day they prepared to teleport using the scroll, but instead of going where they thought they would, their teleport was hijacked. The ground beneath them opened as though on a hinge, and they appeared in an office. There was a mahogany desk, a fish tank, and filled bookshelves lining the wall. In the room were Victor Zarius, a skyforged, and a large stuffed animal person. Victor informed them that whatever they had been about to do was unimportant, and that they were going to do whatever it was he was about to assign them.
