Chapter VI: Twin Souls

Relics of Ochrid

General Summary

The mirror of your childhood stands before you. Her shining silver armor, laced with purplish filagree. She grasps the holy symbol of Sotillion that hangs around her neck before cantering over to embrace you. You have found the second half to your soul: Calliope.

Arriving at the docks of Fülùkôn, our adventurers head into the Cascade Inn after temporarily parting ways with Captain Morris, Clint, and Ophis. Zal approaches the barkeep to see if he can find information on the enclosing Kobold threat as of late. There is unfortunately not much information on what has driven them from their home and only reports the recent activity. While this is happening, Juniper checks them into a luxury suite for the three of them.

Preferring to explore their surroundings before settling in, the adventurers take to the streets of Fülùkôn. Adamant to find news on the recent kobold attacks, Zal finds a well-traveled Dragonborn by the name of Lockheed who is hesitant to assist in the information. After some words and exchanges of strength, however, Lockheed warms up to the Goliath and offers his mercenary services should they require it. Before offering a sly wink to Juniper, the Dragonborn parts ways with the adventurers before heading to the Cascade Inn.

Juniper notices a scholarly-looking individual gawking at the cervitaur in their group. Adriak waves at the individual who takes it as an invitation to approach. He introduces himself as Dalsein and asks the cervitaur if he was the one known as Adriak. Confirming his suspicion, Adriak is then informed that he is a friend of Calliope, his twin sister and fellow follower of Sotillion. Offering to lead them to her, Adriak hastily agrees and they set out to meet with his lost family. Taking the adventurers to a wooded clearing outside of town, they are brought to a formation of stones that they soon realize is a leyline for arcane energies. Dalsein approaches the cervitaur in the distance while Juniper and Zal both note the suspicion they have on the current situation. Zal sends Kogara ahead to listen in on the conversation between the two.

Hearing that her brother has been found, the cervitaur, Calliope, quickly turns around and canters over Adriak, quickly embracing her twin brother. She informs him that during the fires of the last night he saw his family, that the two of them were the sole survivors of their village. Leading them to the clearing, they begin to talk about that night and trying to recall the events when Juniper notices other figures beyond the trees. When alerting the others of the company, Calliope instructs the rest of the hooded figures to approach. They all take a spot in front of the stone tablets perfectly arranged with the leylines of the area.

Informing Adriak that he was the cause of the malady that occurred that fateful night, the mood of the conversation intensifies. Calliope pleads with Adriak to allow them to perform the Rites of Remembrence so that no more people would fall by the cervitaur's hands. Anxious and unsure, Adriak steps back as they contemplate the offer. Eventually refusing, they attempt to leave, but Calliope insists that she will do it by force should they not cooperate leading to a battle ensuing. The battle is long and arduous with the exchange of blow after blow, spell after spell, until a moment where Adriak is overtaken by the spirit that possesses him. He alerts Calliope that the time to flee is now. Calliope takes a branch of sorts from her pack, snapping it in twine.

A dull grey light erupts from the ground opening a portal that consumes Adriak, Calliope, and two of the Children of Crimson. Without hesitation, Juniper leaps into the portal to follow the cervitaurs. Contemplating his choices, Zal quickly makes the decision to follow suit. They emerge in a gray world with dull gray skies and earth. They are surrounded by buildings that are encapsulated by walls as blood drips from their wooden exterior. Where had the portal taken them? Where is Adriak and Calliope? They would soon find that they are no longer on the Material Plane of Oryth...
