**Do you remember me?** was a Brigade oneshot following a request by Malik, a member of said Brigade, to assist him in a mission of unknown purpose in the Southwestern Fringe. Upon reaching their destination of Valjean, he revealed to his traveling companions and new friends that he was looking for his long-lost mother, who had been "claimed" as an heir-bearer by Aram Theldirk, the director of the Glitterati and the Fringe as a whole. Upon infiltrating the dragon district of town the party discovered that she had passed, leaving her child with Aram, Isabelle von Theldirk. The two half-siblings decided to have Malik stay with his sister, and the two agreed to assist the Brigade from afar however they could.

## Prompt

As autumn reaches the precipice of winter Zenith members are aflutter, meeting with family and forging new relationships even through these uncertain times. There is a only one call for action during this time, a member of the Zenith who hasn't been very vocal in all honesty, a half dragon named Malik. Apparently he's been stuck in stasis for five hundred years and is having trouble adjusting to all the changes in the world still, not leaving his room in the zenith for almost anything. He is asking anyone who is willing to help him find an old friend from back in his day, a Purple dragon from Luneair named Shade. He is not offering anything for the job, but Luneair is closer to the Fringes capital; perhaps a quick visit there might provide the Zenith with useful intel on the armies management in the new year?

## Entry #1

Fresh off of the boat, Baz and Shascha chat for a while before Baz interrupts Shascha's pushups to alert her to a kobold getting roughed up by three thugs; a human, a tiefling, and a giant orange. The two of them head over to intercept that at the same time that Finn Mito, B, and Malik rushed over to help.

Bax frightened off the human and Finn and B beat the orange nearly to death, this caused the tiefling to flee as well, dropping Kak. Shascha comforted Kak briefly before the Glitterati arrived and tried to take custody of the kobold. Shascha pretended to try to catch him, while Finn and B rolled the orange down at the guards to distract them. Baz used that opportunity to charm them into thinking they needed to chase the orange instead of the kobold, and the group made their escape.

Through a lack of ability to lie, Malik made it clear to Shascha that he was a member of the brigade she was looking for in order to find her brother that had mistakenly given her bad directions to the tower. In exchange for helping Malik look for his mother, Shascha was promised help finding the tower. Baz didn't have anything better to do, and they didn't like that children were roped into breaking into a military structure full of dragons, so they came along.

After approaching the structure, the party watched as a few dragons descended from the sky to the gated community the party needed to enter. As the dragons took human form, Mailk recognized one of the dragons as Aram, the Director of this country, and the man who kidnapped his mother. Malik explained that Aram kidnapped his mom because he was interested in genetics and wanted to have children with his mother. [Everyone disliked that]

Kak found a rat to help them break into the complex, but the rat instead took them to the leader of the rats down in the cellar of a tavern. The rat advised that they either join the LMF, or sneak in a vegetable cart. Because the thugs who roughed up Kak were members of the LMF, the party opted to sneak into the complex by hiding in a giant shipment of delicious, succulent, crunch, munchy, fresh celery.

Once inside, the escaped detection and snuck out of the cart. Baz disguised themself as a blonde man they had seen walking around, and approached the other guard they saw, a wolfboy. Baz tricked the wolfboy into thinking that they, the blonde man, needed to go inside and find their missing knife. While wolfboy helped Baz search for the knife, Sascha, Finn, B, Malik, and Kak snuck in after them, and moved up the stairs to search for Mailk's mother.

Instead of finding Malik's mother, however, they found his half-sister who revealed that Malik's mother had passed away. Mailk's half-sister, who revealed her name to be Isabelle Vonn Theldrink, asked that Malik stay with her ad offered to help them spy on her father. Mailk forced the children to make the decision for him, which resulted in him staying.

Meanwhile, Baz accidentally slipped up during their conversation with wolfboy, and wolfboy started to demand that Baz tell him what his name was. Obviously Baz didn't know, and eventually the jig was up and wolfboy used magic to control Baz's movements. He broke Baz's spell and led them out to find the real blonde man, whose name was revealed to be Comet. Wolfboy's name was then revealed to be Dancer. By bribing them with a diamond and the information on how they broke into the place, Baz convinced them that what they had done was a harmless prank, and should be allowed to just leave ou the back. Baz used Sending to tell Shascha that they had escaped, and Shascha used 23 of her words to reply accidentally replying back that they had seen them go, and only had a few words to reply. Fortunately, with two words left, she said "Meet docks."

The group then met up at the docks, and Finn offered to make good on Mailk's promise to Shascha and give Kak a new home. Both agreed, and Shascha asked Baz to help her escort the children back to their home. They agreed and set off for Nadir's Zenith.
