Chapter II: MANTICORE
The Tyranny of Tok
General Summary
A flash of light silhouettes a young girl projected from beyond the broken clocktower. You arrive as the aura around her pulses outward with divine energy. Two angelic wings sprout from her body as columns of light erupt from her eyes and mouth, a large curved boomerang glowing in her hand before she sets down to the ground. The energy fades before the girl blinks awake, looking at her two new friends. Ash is a celestial being touch by the Divine...
After receiving a note to meet with MANTICORE at midnight, our three heroes hear a tapping at the window of the tavern. It is revealed to be a large mastiff attempting to gain the attention of the young Ash. Ash excuses herself from the table, following the beast of a dog how identifies as a Hound Archon named Ezequiel. Seeing a blinding light, the others follow her to the clocktower where it is revealed that Ash has been touched by a celestial being and that she is actually an aasimar from the Plane of Mount Celestia. With this new-found knowledge, Bimpkin and Kovash are unsure what to do with the child. Would it be safe for her to stay in Averlund, or was she to be brought with them on their future endeavors?
Leaving the clocktower, they knock on the door of the Homestead Bakery asking for Ophie Timbers advice. As much as she would love to take Ash in, due to her affiliation with MANTICORE and her heretical worship of Garl Glittergold, she is unable to guarantee Ash's safety. Helping with some baked goods, Bimpkin learns some of the tricks of the trade before they all pack up and head to the Merry Spider.
There, they are met by around 15 unknown individuals led by Gretel, Damu, and Ophie and hear many heartbreaking tales of the tyrannical oppression of the Tok Empire. Being new to the organization, Gretel wishes Bimpkin and Kovash to prove themselves to their cause, asking them to infiltrate Mystvale Manor and find a device that can remove Pacification Bracers as well as any information that might prove Mayor Mystvale's illicit activities as an attempt to remove him from office and place one of their own as a coup.
Agreeing to assist MANTICORE, Kovash and Bimpkin approach Gretel after the meeting asking them what they should do about the child, Ash, and their current predicament. Having shared a similar fate of needing to grow up sooner than she would've liked, Gretel informs Ash that the choice is hers and hers alone. Ash decides that she would like to stay with her new friends and Gretel suggests that she disguises herself as a halfling and go to the manor with Kovash and Bimpkin.
