Session 2

### **Pre-Primavera Meeting**

The session begins when Dominus called all the Hunters to go back to the Guild base for a meeting. He wanted to brief everyone about what to expect during Primavera as most Hunters were also quite new. The party met up in the entrance of the Guild which looks different now from what they previously remembered. It is now decorated well as if expecting some sort of a royal party. Among them, are many more Hunters around. Some familiar from just going around the Guild and some are new faces to them.

Dominus continued talking about the other country leaders that will come to Cazar on the opening of Primavera. This is normal as it happens every year and every year the leaders makes their appearances. With this in mind, Dominus asks everyone that their main priority is the safety and protection of Cazar and it's citizens. Unless assigned to a contract, all should stay within the walls of Cazar and work with the Valkyries to make sure peace is upheld. Dominus then asks any party who would like to be assigned to something to come meet him after the meeting. The party was intrigued.

Dominus then talks about The Sparkling Rose who will be leading the escort of the country leaders to Cazar for the Primavera. He also highlighted that there will be another welcoming party from the Hunter's Guild and the Valkyries by the walls. The party split up to meet the various country leaders. Dominus also gave an update about the war that Xu Empire allegedly declared on Hairamod. It was reported that it was Emperor Ryuzaki who wanted to start it. The people of Xu Empire wasn't happy about the decision from Ryuzaki and decided on a new emperor to replace him to prevent the war. No one really knows how that happened but the new Xu Empire emperor now is Oda Mizuyaki. Oda declared a stop to the war talks and pulled the Xu army from Hairamod.

* The kingdom of Hairamod and East Shiola are expected to come from the north of Cazar through the Four Walls area. Fr. Ted decided to go here.
* The Republic of Arlon are expected to come from the east of Cazar through the Silversong area. Liebe, Zaddy and Jaqen decided to go here.
* The Xu Empire is expected to come from the West through the docks. Akarui and Kurai decided to go here.

Dominus ended the meeting by reiterating that the main priority is the safety of Cazar and it's people and tells the Hunter's Guild members to enjoy!

### **Akatsuki**

After the meeting, the party decided to be assigned for a contract. As they approach Dominus, they were met by a female human who had to get Akarui's attention as Akarui wasn't paying attention. She introduces her self as Gloria who apologized to Akarui from taking a shot at him a few nights ago. Gloria thought that Akarui was a were wolf and it was her job as a Blood Hunter to hunt all evil. Before the party got to ask her more questions she walked away.

The party proceeded to approach Dominus to be assigned a task. Dominus asked for a group name and the group decided on the name "Akatsuki". Dominus gave them a choice of contract and they decided to tackle the ogre problem that was preventing people from the south to come to Primavera. However, since the party was assigned to the upcoming PvP tournaments, they will complete the contract after it. Dominus asks Akatsuki to talk to Kila to generate the contract.

Akatsuki tries to befriend Kila but she only seems to be interested in Yenn who wasn't around as she went to train Orion at this time straight after the meeting. The magical contract is set and the party decided to sleep in for the night after getting dinner in the Guild.

### **Kurai's Wild Night**

Kurai who just about fully recovered from his mini coma, decided to hire a female escort to accompany him through the night. Akarui and Zaddy seeing this, decided to give him another set of surprise male escorts to further accompany Kurai further. Kurai didn't know what hit him that night......

### **The Parade**

Morning hits and Akatsuki decided to have breakfast before going to their assigned stations as part of the welcoming parties.

#### **From the North**

As expected, Hairamod and East Shiola arrives from the north. Fr Ted sees an army with maroon and gold armor with a few robed humanoids in between. There were also a few heavily protected carts being pulled by horses.

In dead front of all of this was 2 humanoid who looks like twins. They seem to be wielding spears and is just confidently and casually walking ahead. A Hunter's Guild Mark is visible on their neck with a red outline.

At the very back is a human who is playing a mandolin. He is wearing a sleeveless leather armor with a visible Hunter's Guild Mark on his right shoulder with a red outline.

As the carts approach the walls, Fr Ted shamelessly went to a random cart and asked for donations for the poor. Coincidently, it was the King and Queen's cart with a heavily armored humanoid. The Queen sympathizes with Fr Ted and gave him some gold.

#### **From the West**

Arlon arrives from the west. Liebe, Zaddy and Jaqen sees an army along with unusual vehicles surrounding it. From the sides of the army are a total of 4 unknown vehicles who are moving on it's own. This vehicle has claws and legs and seems to be made of a metal material. On the top seems to be a medium sized vehicle flying with people who are wielding an unknown weapon. Finally, in the middle of the army, a large cart-like vehicle which seems to be also moving on it's own.

On the sky is a giant eagle who seems to shift back to a humanoid to land on the flying vehicle. She landed with her back turned to Liebe, Zaddy and Jaqen and they saw a Hunter's Guild Mark on the back of her neck with a red outline. She seems to be signaling to someone at the very back of where the army is.

At the very back behind the whole army is a single humanoid wielding a samurai. He is wearing a triangular hat covering his face and is clothed with a robe with half of his chest exposed that shows a Hunter's Guild Mark with a red outline.

#### **From the East**

Xu Empire arrives in the docks with a Giant Warship with the crest of the Mizuyaki Clan. It seems to be heavily guarded.

At the bow of the ship is a visible cloaked humanoid who is signaling the dock to onboard. Her wrist is visible with the Hunter's Guild Mark with a red outline.

Flying above the ship is a pteranodon who lands on top of one of the masts. A small humanoid is visible mounted on the pteranodon with a visible Hunter's Guild Mark on his left shoulder.

Coming out of the warship first are 2 humanoids, a male and a female, dressed formally and a bit giddy and cocky in appearance. Behind them are 2 heavily armored humanoids, one with a glaive and one with a sword. Both are very intimidating. One of them is presented as Oda Mizuyaki, the new emperor of the Xu Empire.

Akarui and Kurai decided to approach the front and meet them. The two humanoids in the front sniffed and recognizes them. They referred to the Akuma brothers as "Guinea Pigs" and called over the Archmage. From the Warship, a familiar wizard floats towards the Akuma brothers enchanting somthing causing Kurai to fall on the ground after a brief moment. Akarui manages to shrug it off. As this happens, Jakkar shows up behind them, expecting this would happen and stops the Archmage and warns him not to do anything stupid. The Archmage looks towards Oda waiting for a command but Oda nods and the wizard goes back to the warship. Kurai get healed by someone and Jakkar pulls them to the entrance of the colosseum.

### **Zaddy scores with Jaqen's assist.**

As the parade continues towards the entrance of the colosseum, Zaddy got the itch in trying to pick pocket someone. Zaddy spots a rich human woman and decides to distract her with his new pet chameleon. Jaqen sees this happening and knew exactly what Zaddy was trying to do and casts an illusion to distract the woman further. Zaddy successfully pick pockets the human woman very stealthily and luckily none of the Valkyries saw him.

### **PvP tournament**

The Primavera starts off with a PvP tourament held for the new Hunter's Guild Members to take a peek at their potentials. This is also done as entertainment for the other country leaders and is also a way for Dominus to flex for having strong people as members of the Hunter's Guild. The citizens of Cazar also enjoys this as it allows them to place bets which Akatsuki saw an opportunity to exploit.

As all the leaders arrives in the colosseum, the PVP was set to begin. The tournament consists of 3 events.

* 1 v 1
* 10 people Battle Royale
* 3 v 3

The tournament rules were simple.

* It is a fight until all the enemy falls unconscious.
* There are Clerics around that will fully heal all the fighters after the fights.
* There is a magical gem in the middle that gives a magical buff for those who touches it.

Akatsuki decided to join the tournaments for both trying to win the tournament and to win bets.

* Zaddy joined 1v1 who won it all winning the Circlet of Blasting.
	+ Zaddy shows off his rogue skills and coached by Akarui. It was won pretty easily.
* Fr Ted joined the Battle Royale and won it all winning the Boots of Speed.
	+ Fr Ted was proven to be really hard to hit and his spiritual weapon is strong.
* Jaqen also joined the Battle Royale and came in second to Fr Ted and surrendered at the end.
	+ Jaqen showed good techniques and shows off his new learnt skills to full effect.
	+ Except for the time he tried to throw his hammer at Fr Ted.
* Liebe, Akarui and Kurai joined the 3v3 who won it all and won a ring and cloaks of protection.
	+ The trio was proven to be a strong combo.
	+ Akarui transformed which caught the attention of Oda and his crew.

The closing ceremony of the PVP includes both Dominus and Jakkar with Akatsuki to present their rewards. Akatsuki has managed to win all of the events and is now making a name for themselves.

### **Oda-mn**

During it's closing ceremony, Oda jumps on to the colosseum and unleashed an unknown force that caused almost everyone in the colosseum to fall unconscious along with Zaddy (and maybe his pet). Dominus gets visibly furious, summons 2 shadow blades on each hand and asks Oda "What the hell do you think you're doing "Emperor" Oda?". Oda replies "Since I'm not on friendly territory I thought I'd present myself to be a threat, Dominus."

While this happens, simultaneously this was also happening:

* Oda's crew also steps to the colosseum.
	+ 2 humanoids in formal clothes.
	+ a heavily armored humanoid with a glaive.
* Two other Jakkars appears on the side of the colosseums.
* One of Zolik's crew who appears to be in the colosseum, cocks an unknown weapon aimed at Oda.
* A dimension door under Oda appears and Zolik appears with his staff about to make an attack on Oda.
