Weekly Recap

## Sunday May 23rd 2021

Alright. You have missed a lot. A recap will be posted somewhere. BUT THIS WEEK: We fought a very large hell train in the sewers of Ager. It was a well fought battle. Each large chunk of damage the train took. A small piece of it would chip off, and morph into a mini spider monster and begin attacking us. At first these chunks, weren't too strong. As we bloodied the creature, the outer shell of the train began to crack and the creature poured out revealing its true form. A 12 tentacled creature emerged, chunks from the creature began to create much bigger and more difficult to handle enemies. Balthazar and church executioners showed up midway to support us. Our DPS mains (Hawk and Oliver) were able to take down the main tentacle monster and we cleaned up the remaining chucks that were coalescing into enemies. Tod turned Oliver into a adult gold dragon and Oliver really enjoyed it.

We talked with the Archbishop. The Archbishop seems to be unsettled by Tod's presences. The archbishop says he doesn't know about the child trafficking's going on (He's probably lying). We also met a man named Werin Wolfwood, who was sent by the President to hang out with us(?). He offers us a short cut to Minow, after we agreed to help him deal with a mechanical construct (automatons) issue. This was thought to be a good idea since we were attacked by the mechanical constructs (automatons) that looked like large wolves. Hopefully we will get some answers.

## Sunday August 23rd 2020

After destroying the necromancer's head, the group turned their attention to the capture man with the Walrus mustache. The Party interrogated him with multiple method including deception (Tod disguising himself as a Xernian), Intimidation (Lorenzo cutting off his finger), and some good old fashion magic (The suggestion spell). We confirmed from The Walrus' intel that the receptionist at the public bath house was a Xernian agent. We planned to question her but when the party encountered her she was snatched away and killed by two members of the Republic Secret Police, Ikkki and Dr. Mayloon. After a bumpy introduction, we smoothed things out and took Ikkki with us to further interrogate The Walrus.

The group learned that The Walrus was planning on meeting with Zola, a high ranking member of the Xernian spy ring in Baston. The Walrus plan was to pass on an important message to Zola "We know where Baston's heart is" and "Destroying the Heart is the key to the fall of Baston". The Walrus handed us a letter to send to his family and then was promptly killed after failing to be able to provide any more relevant information.

Next thing we knew, there was knock at the door. The mysterious woman standing on the stoop was the necromancer, Ciel Tucon. The adventures filled her in on the situation with Kellezor in Stillmore falls. She seem to take the news with great alarm. Summoning a Flesh Golem to draw a carriage of all her belonging. Ciel stressed that we should leave tonight as time is of the essence. Motivated by fear for the inevitable Xernian invasion; Marcus and Weramoe also said they will leave the city and join us in our travel back to Stillmore Falls.

The Party had 3 hours to kill before their newly formed caravan departed for home so they planned to disguise themselves as Xernians (Specifically the Walrus) and meet Zola at Silver Harbor just north of Noonlodge. The ruze didn't last long as Zola was aware of the hiding members of the party nearby, and a battle quickly commenced. Zola attempted to flee to one of the ships in the harbour while Xernains poured out of the nearby ships and buildings to fight us. Everyone fought well, however I (Luke) think the standout of the fight was Roscoe who Wild shaped into a reef shark twice to go after the swimming Zola and allow us to capture her for further questioning; IN ADDITION TO summoning Crocodiles to stagger the waves of enemies while also giving all friendly combatants temporary hit points (including the crocodiles).

tl;dr:

* Ikkki joined the party
* We found the Necromancer Ciel Tucon. Ciel, Marcus, and Weramoe are joining us on our return to Stillmore Falls. We are leaving tonight.
* We found a spy ringleader Zola, fought her, and captured her.

## Sunday August 16th 2020

Exiting the portal with the necromancer's severed head; we return to Noonlodge (Suburb of Baston), and see a group of people waiting for us. The group is lead by a man named Marius. The group work for the Patriarchy of Nestor and the Family of Aurelianus. TL;DR Marius and the men work for Lorenzo's mother and is trying to get Lorenzo to sign away his in inheritance. Lorenzo said he would meet with them later. Marius said we could ask anyone in the town and they would point us in the correct direction.

We take the Necromancer's head to the these guys who work with Roscoe named Marcus and Weramoe. They say they can probably help us get the necromancer back but we need to prove we are on their side by bringing them the head of a Xernian. We leave the necromancer's head with the boys.

We head to the local baths. Leo relaxes. Hawk and Tod try to find Xernians. They find a family but is not willing to kill them. Then when exiting the hostess discretely hands Tod (disgusted as a woman Xernian spy) a box with a ring of sending and card with a time and location. The party assumes that Tod is suppose to deliever this to a local Xernian spy. The group sets up at the location (The Tavern) and waits for the spy to arrive.

We notice one man (Walrus mustache man) who is acting out and assume he is working with the spy. The spy arrives and we deceive him. He tells us about his role, the Xernian plans, and how many more people are like him in the town (dozens). Then we kill the spy (He was a really piece of shit anyway. Read up on him here if you don't believe me.) and we keep the walrus mustache man alive for further question.

We take the Walrus man, and the head+body of the spy to the boys Marcus and Weramoe. They are impressed and tell us. They hold up their end of the bargain, They inform the party that if you destroy the necromancer then she will come back and find you. So we smash the head to bits.

tl;dr:

* Lorenzo has rich family in Baston that wants him cut out of his fortune.
* We killed Captain Kyro.
* We destroyed the necromancer's head which should make her come straight for us.
