“"วันนี้ Björn ทำทองหยิบมาฝาก"”
Björn Boon-Lon (บิยอร์น บุญหล่น) is a baker hailing from Mali, Eotia.

## Backstory

Björn grew up loving wrestling and boxing in a small town in Eotia. It was what he's good at. Unfortunately, the competitive spirit was too overpowering. In a wrestling competition, Björn took too much performance-enhancing herbs to gain advantage over his best friend Tom. In a moment of frenzy, he transformed into a bear-like beast and mindlessly almost beat Tom to death. Ashamed, Björn said goodbye to his parents and moved to Rausten on a vision from the god-tree Faedelyn. There, he started a new life and learned how to control the beast within. In the intervening years of build Rausten, Björn eventually went back to Mali and had a happy, cathartic reunion with Tom. Now, Björn expands his interest into cooking for his friends from his house outside Rausten. Currently, Björn works as Head Executive Chef for Biscuit & Bakery™️, a two-story bakery in the central market of Rausten, funded by the Gold Enterprise. More importantly, he has a partner in Sirraa the succubus, who loves love and cooking. Her sisters, Sarah and Tsuna, are also staying at his house.

## Bread, Basket and Björn

Officially named Biscuit & Bakery™️, Björn spent gold and time in helping the Golden Enterprise open a bakery in downtown Rausten. Despite wanting to name it "Bread, Basket and Björn," he settled for a position of Head Executive Chef instead. It has paid well enough for Björn to renovate his house outside of Rausten.

## Notable Posessions

### Heart-Shaped Red Stone of Good Luck

Given to him by his partner, the cooking succubus Siarra. This particular stone was obtained after winning an bidding war, ironically, against each other, as Siarra wanted to surprise Björn. The money went towards maintaining an animal sanctuary in the city of... [information needed].

### Habetrot's Handy Spice Pouch

While going to see the God-Tree in Donburton, Habetrot gave Björn a regenerating magical spice pouch. It enabled them to have a very delicious, hearty breakfast of French Toast. Björn gave Habetrot a coupon for 200 servings of bread, croissants and Thong Yib in thanks.

### Chest of Preserving

Habetrot, having adventured together with Björn many times and tasting his treats, crafted for her friend another magic item. It prevented baked goods at Biscuit & Bakery™️ from rotting or decaying, while simultaneously being extremely useful while travelling. This played an important point when 6 pieces of croissants travelled to the future with him. One piece went to rats, another to Boy, another to Tavish. Buck Chug, Gweyir and Diary refused to eat it, for fearing of missing it all over again.

## Episode Summaries

### Road Crossing (Eotia)

Björn took some unknown substance a night before a boxing/wrestling competition, in a moment of temptation to gain an edge over his friend Tom (whom he had never been able to win against). After almost killing Tom from a partial beast (bear) trasnaformation, the town’s lawkeepers took Björn to be judged by Faedelyn. The holy god-tree gave Björn a quest to help build a town that did not yet exist. As such, Björn left his home village with Kazen, a warforged. On his travels, he met Amethyst, Tog and Nedyriina.

After some troubles with a kobold sorcerer, Björn arrived at Port Raj, witnessing the arrival of large ships arriving. A well-dressed man asked Björn and his travel companions if they were willing to help build a new town. This town were to be a trading post of sorts between all the major settlements in Eotia. The town didn’t have a name though. Björn, remembering the vision Faedelyn gave him, said:

“You are trying to think of a name? Why not… Rausten?”

### Is that a?

Björn fought a fake dragon. This was the first time he met Darius, Astrox, Clarke and Xavier.

### A Wild Goose Chase

The team went on a wild goose chase to stop rumours that Golden Enterprise was a mafia. It turned out a bard named Vhaad (fact check needed) was responsible. A spider-themed man named Zirneklis (Artinus) threatened the bard with bodily harm. Björn called out that he could not believe that these foreigners would come to his home continent and threaten people all over the place, and asked for a more diplomatic way to resolve problems.

Afterwards, everyone had a dinner party at Björn’s house. Even the bard and Artinus came.

### The Wolf in the Sheep’s Clothing

A village was full of shapeshifters. Nobody did any fighting with the shapeshifters, and only a menacing, huge guardian wolf and their pack died.

### Rat Race

The city was filled with rubbish because the Otuyughs cleaning the sewers were misplaced by the Wolf Gang. Darius’ extreme fear of rats and germs were palpable.

### There’s Always a Bigger Fish in the Sea

A two-part quest involving sending criminals to Kolya. Björn, Artinus and Xavier (I think) was charmed by the succubus sisters Siarra, Sara and Tsuna. In Björn’s case, Siarra seduced him.

The next morning, the charm was revealed when no one wanted to leave the Chardemon mansion. Only by Artinus kissing Valanin was his charm broken. Artinus convinced the succubi sisters to let them go, promising to come visit. It appeared the succubi killed all the other escaped criminals, but they were lonely and wanted companionship.

### Exploration

Björn and a team of investigators found an underground tunnel/cave system with runes and pictograms of the continent’s lost dragons and lost history. They reported back to Golden Enterprise.

### Origination

The party helped a village with its basilisk problem. Darius turned to stone and almost died. Björn got a recipe for fried chicken.

### A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

A mission to deliver a criminal to the borders of Kolya saw Björn, Darius, Danny, Amethyst and Han Jin cross the mountain tops that seprated Kolya from the rest of Eotia. They picked up an artist, and sought shelter at an inn during a snowstorm. Suspiciously, the inn didn't have any horses. The truth came out when the artist died after having a violent fit of food poisoning. The party also received food poisoning, but survived the encounter. It turned out absolutely everyone in the tavern was trying to kill the extradition team. In turn, most of the criminals were killed or knocked out. In particular, a tiefling seemed to be a mastermind in this ambush.

After the fact, the surviving criminals were successfully delivered to Kolya. The party reflected if they could have done something to save the artist's life. Thereafter, the team gave the artist a burial on a scenic spot overlooking a majestic view, as he did so love to paint nature.

### Every Wolf has its Day

Bojack and Gweyir went missing. The team conducted a rescue mission. Artinus took Gweyir and the two of them made a performance together so that reconnaissance could be completed.

### Don’t Make a Mountain out of a Mole Hill

There was a misunderstanding about Renel, Artinus’ oblex daughter. Darius and Björn had a discussion about the danger of having an oblex around, even if the oblex is gaining humanity. Renel also wondered if she should leave the town. After a speech about fire not being inherently evil or dangerous, Renel decided to stay and Darius became more relaxed about having Renel around.

### My Mother Thanks You

A trio of hag is preventing the final dimensional barrier from breaking, raising children to fulfil their mission of preserving this plane. Artinus adopted Pit, a particularly agile kid.

### Please Mr. Postman

Björn delivered some gold and got a letter. This is the first time he met Narsak.

### Gweyir's Sick day

A two-part murder mystery disguised as a holiday. Two archmages were behind it.

### You know how to whistle, don't you?

A two-part session in finding Bojack, rescuing him from the depths of his own nightmare. We discovered he has a husband waiting for him back at home.

In the session part, it was revealed to the other characters that Artinus lost his memory as Zirnaklis, and became much nicer to be around. The team visited a fragment of Grandmother Ash, a fragment of the progenitor of the six gods in the world. Darius gained the ability to change shape back into human form. Björn gained an ability to inspire his allies. Danny disintegrated (but he got better).

### Descend into Dungeon to Find Xavier

   A two-part session about clearing a level of a mysterious dungeon in a bid to find Xavier. Unfortunately, we did not find him.

### Auction in Zeldrithia

Björn, Astrox, Habetrot, Rellee, Danny went to Zeldritia for an auction. Everyone’s full names were revealed.

### Why don't you come up sometime and see me?

A two-part city-ending quest also disguised as a holiday, a-la Gweyir's Sick Day. Björn received a lovely heart-shaped Stone of Good Luck from Siarra. The team visited a petting zoo.

### Merit Making at Mali

Björn invited his friends and other adventurers to a merit-making ceremony in Mali. This section is to be expanded.

This fulfills his vision of taking people he cares about on a holiday in Mali. The vision was the one received from Grand Mother Ash when Björn gained his Boon of Inspiration.

### In Hushed Whispers

Björn gained stripper training in preparation for his marriage proposal to Siarra. The world promptly exploded when Amethyst, Astrox, Björn, Danny, Darius, Earth, Habetrot and Pit were sent 30 years into the future for this multiple-part mini-campaing.

#### Take Me Home

Forces all across Eotia united to protect the scroll of Karsus' Avatar (a 12th level spell capable of destroying a god and absorbing their powers) from the shadowy hands of hundreds of invading Typhons. To protect the world, a mummy lord and a sphinx asked if the party is willing to:

"Lose everything to protect all that is"

After the question, the sound of combat died down, and all was eerily quiet. Emerging from the pyramid, the party discovered that they have been transported 30 years into a barren, dead future.

#### Out of Time

The party discovered a grim new reality. Rausten was empty, and the next clue pointed to Walden. Walden was no sanctuary, as the party was forced to fight two Tyrannasurus, a Shriekbat and a Catoblepas. Finally, the faced the Death Arena's Champion, an old friend in the name of Tavish; whom rode in upon a Gorgon. After some fighting, everyone lives. The party found Walden to be a grim place sustained by eating regenerating trolls and blod sports. The team became the new champion of Walden by defeating the 90 years old Tavish. They found out that Buck Chug was a fake, and is missing. Boy and Mary rules the populace as best they can. The next clue leads to Trumor, another bastion of civilization.

It would appears that Buck Chug, Mary and Boy was behind the bloodsports. However, all was revealed to be a deception when Björn punched "Buck Chug" in the face, and a straw head fell off. Buck Chug was a fake, and Mary and Boy got away. For now.

The party became the new Champions and Lords of Walden. Pit loses his Paladin abilities when he went into shock at the state of the world (and his friends).

#### Getting a Clue

Astrox left his simulacrum in Walden. The party Teleported and then travelled on foot to Domburton, finding the God-Tree dead. A vampire found near the tree told them that Buck Chug was found to be heading to Headleigh, carrying the last divine sparks of nature.

When the party passed Tuck's tavern where Darius had such an amazing memory here; where Darius met his love, he was reminded of all the amazing memory there. But also, all that he had lost. Tuck. All of his spellpower... He couldn't shower, he didn't want to come here at all.

Darius triggered a touching moment culminating in a group hug. The team thinks that that they can hope for a better future and reverse all the atrocities that had happened for the last 30 years; or indeed, if that is not possible, to provide the best chance for this world to live again. Amethyst and Darius were able to cast divine spells again after rechargning their spellpower with a fruit of the God-Tree.

#### Hunter/Hunted

Xavier appeared, along with a youger, more handsome version of Björn. A clone of Astrox and Clarke also appeared. The team held hands and teleported out as soon as Xavier tried casting hunger of Hadar on them.

They arrived at Trumor, and helped with a birth. After much rejoicing, the team found Diary Ende and Gweyir in charge of the cavernous city. Buck Chug had left them in charge before leaving to carry out his mission. The party gathered information on how to head to Headleigh while Diary and the town's volunteer dealt with a horde of zombies with artillery firepower.

Björn confronted the likely fact that his family and everyone he loved was dead and cried; Diary described how Mali was attacked, and the godly avatars of Faedalyn and Lia fought to the last of the divine strenght. Darius was surprised and equally miserable, perhaps thinking about his own paramour. Pit tried to comfort Björn, and succeeded. The party is more determined in their mission, seeing things at stake.

#### Reunions

The team saw Katarite, a strange women who controlled many, many zombies. After some discussion, the team teleported to a village that had a group named Vipers that could help them navigate to Headleigh.

#### **The Corrupt Sea**

The team travelled, with great difficulty, to Headleigh. They Wished the Divine Tree Phyta back to wholeness, expelling its Undead components and restoring all of its Celestial essence.

#### The Threat Remains

The team gained much, much gold. Björn is carrying 10,000 gold pieces.

Phyta were able to turn some of the citizens of Headleigh back into human. There were talks of the next clue in Port Raj - a key to the Ring of Three Wishes.

#### Freedom's Progress

Whatever happens now? A lot of combat, I hope.
