## I. The Treasure Room

Jatin summoned the Chaos Horse with the Fury's Horn and escaped from the bandits on it.

## II. The Heiress

Asked the rich woman what her missing wagon looked like and scoured the town from above on the Chaos Horse looking for it. Jatin found the wagon, but when he came back to the restaurant, the woman was gone, as Calen had killed her, so he looted the wagon for whatever he could carry and freed the rare singing bird.

## III. The Rogue and the Flower

### Part 1

Bought a spear and shield with the looted money and a book on spirits and legends. Spent the rest of the turn reading the book.

### Part 2

Made money accelerating some smugglers' business using the speed of the Chaos Horse and bought a bow and arrow.

## IV. Forces of Nature

### Part 1

Took lengths of rope from the destroyed bridge and ran both east and west on the Chaos Horse to see which trail lead further and then proceeded to go east upon realizing that the west path came to a stop.

### Part 2

Scoured the valley for the first purple flower he could see from horseback, collected the flower, and ran to the nearest towns to try to find an herbalist who recognized the plant and could produce and antidote to its poison. Michael cured the bear of its poison before Jatin could complete this multi step process.

## V. The Ecstasy of Gold

Informed Elijah that he would soon get the mine owner and her men off his back. Jatin then used his knowledge of folklore and the rich woman's clothes to create a disguise resembling Ban-Mun, a demonic bogeyman in local folklore, and rode to the mine at night, declaring that anyone who continued to bother the alchemist would be cursed. Elijah thanked him, and Solomon decided to accompany Jatin on his travels, feeling that he had much to learn from his adventures.

## VI. Wrath of the Sea Dogs

### Part 1

Jatin asked Solomon if he knew any way to penetrate the walls of the Seastone Tower, to which he replied he did, and used alchemy to produce an explosive substance he calls Boomdust. Flying on the top of the tower on the Chaos Horse, Jatin and Solomon threw boomdust bombs into the walls, breaking them. The prisoner, a young blonde woman, ran to get her belongings before escaping the prison on the length of rope Jatin let down. On the way down, the prisoner shot a few guards with her crossbow.

### Part 2

Jatin spirits Lala away to the nearest forest in a chaos horse-lead wagon. There, Lala’s normally hardened, energetic demeanor gives way to a profound wistfulness and she gazes upon the birds, deer, and trees of the forest with a bittersweet wonder. Jatin finds himself falling in love with the pirate queen. After an hour passes, Lala resignedly thanks him for his service, also noting that he was one of the first friends she ever made. Jatin protests, insisting that with his speed, Chorus could never catch them if they ran away together. Lala rebukes him, asserting that she is the daughter, sister, and bride of the sea. “I love you,” he says in defeat. “Don’t make this any harder than it is,” she shakes her head.

As Jatin returns Lala to the ocean, she thanks him again and offers him an entire ship, or a pick of treasures from the fleet’s collection. Jatin refuses, saying she knows what he wants, and he cannot have it. Before she leaves, she whispers something in his ear.

“I will kill you,” Jatin hisses at an unresponsive Chorus, “I know not how, but one day I will end your long, long life, and that woman will be free.”

## VII. The Isle of Bones

### Part 1

Jatin told Solomon to gather materials he found useful and got sad about Lala, half heartedly practicing archery. Solomon made more boomdust and gathered coconuts for their oil.

### Part 2

Solomon plants a row of boomdust mines in the sand and instructs the others that they can stand behind it. They destroy several advancing skeletons. Jatin takes to the air on his chaos horse and tries to find a clearing where there are enemies he can attack with his bow and arrow. He eventually sees Calen fighting Donovan's skeleton guards in the center of the island and offers air support, shooting at Donovan and allowing Calen to close in and kill him.

## VIII. The Tournament

Jatin tells the palace guard officers in the stands that he will enter the tournament with the intention of discovering any match fixing from within. He tells Solomon to gather potions in the meantime. He wins many matches with his chaos horse, even defeating Calen. He is offered money to fix a match by a member of the Vertebra family, Him and Nicole compile their information and present it to the palace guards. They are thanked.

## IX. The Adventurer

Jatin shot at Rainer with arrows to keep him on guard, most of which he avoided by conjuring shields and using Vanishing Arts. Jatin was impaled and grievously wounded by Rainer's thrown spear. He instructs Solomon to use their healing potions on the more injured Pippin, getting an alliance with Nicole. Eventually, Solomon produced another healing potion to heal him.

## X. The Green Lady

Jatin instructed Solomon to make use of the saintgrove petals grown by Hyra for healing purposes. He ingested a newly created Tonic of Recovery and rested after calling his Chaos Horse for Solomon to ride to the wood growler nest. Solomon was accompanied by the Void Crawler, and they found the nest with Jack's instruction. Upon reaching the nest, the Void Crawler began attacking the wood growlers, killing them with its tentacles, which prompted them to all attack it at once to defend their nest, upon which the Void Crawler set itself on fire, killing all of them. As a result of their participation in the extermination of the wood growler nest, he and Solomon received a Cockatrice Feather plant and bargained with Jack and Michael to obtain the Rose Lady Hyra Callahan produced as a reward.

## XI. City of Stone

Jatin instructs Solomon to help Jack for a little while, in which he, under strain, produces a small amount of mercury for him. Jatin and Solomon split a Tonic of Whispers to render themselves inconspicuous and take the Chaos Horse to fly above the town’s bookstore, Jatin connected to his horse via rope in his descent. They take the following books: Empoirot’s Catalogue of Potions Volume 1, Empoirot’s Catalogue of Potions Volume 2, Habits, Dwellings and Features of Land Beasts, Drills and Stances for Young Knights, A Cautious Man’s Guide to the Fearsome, and The Arcane Around You and I. Jatin and Solomon return and Solomon makes a few boomdust bombs to distribute among those fighting the gorgons.

## XII. The Enemy

### Part 1

Jatin and Solomon read the two potion books, The Arcane Around You and I, and Habits, Dwellings and Features of Land Beasts at the bar while hanging out with the bartender. Meanwhile, he has the Rose Lady tell him about the mystical landscape of forests, learning about Fauna Regalia, nature elementals, and Birth Trees. He also gave Jack half of his Tonic of Truth in exchange for one guaranteed question from Ba'az.

### Part 2

Back in town, Jatin engages in Higher Mind mental exercises from his book on the Arcane while Solomon and the Rose Lady make a Tonic of Habit, two Tonics of Tranquility, and Tonic of Focus.

### Part 3

Jatin and Solomon leave the bar, summoning the Chaos Horse and riding it to the highest tower at the top of Thanacross. Blowing a hole in the roof with boomdust bombs, they descend into the room of Count Hobbes of Thanacross. The Count, naked in his bed, still manages a veneer of dignity in his fear. Solomon points a spear at him and a disguised Jatin explains that he is the demon thief Mao'rum and the Count will be let off easy if he tells them what each of the magical items in his treasure stache are, as the two of them loot everything of value they can find. The demon thief, Jatin explains, can tell when humans are lying. Along with a myriad of valuables, they lift a Rod of Piercing, a Bloodstone, and a map of Thanacross holdings across the domain. As they leave, a few bombs are dropped on the knights guarding the gate. Jatin gets a retaliatory arrow bolt in the leg.
