Bedlam
Bedlam Rai’ennor
Born a cagebeast, died a cagebeast.
Bedlam - former member of dragon hunters. Leaves after years of abuse with the Synapse. A crystal ball that determines order and chaos.
Bedlam.
As a demon touched creature, you have lived your life in servitude to the monks. You have seen nothing else then the ash ridden clouds covering the crevace your monastary was tucked away into. Most of your days are spent toiling away cleaning up after the members of the order.
You tend to the Phoenix as your master insists. These birds bring lifeblood to the monastary by allowing men to be reborn into the doctrine of their leader Incinerin.
He is a charismatic fire elf who has a certain way with the fiery birds. The monks here are trained by Incinerin, they were saved by Incinerin and they bask in the glory of his presence.
Above you lies the Peak, the tallest mountain in the province of the Firefang Jags. The cultured fire elf city of Emberstreak uses the Peak as a form of execution, their Edge Garroters drag criminals up the thousand stairs to atone for their crimes. More often than not they are deemed unsavable and pushed from the cliff. In these moments, Incinerin decides whether to act or let the criminals fall from the heavens, landing within sight of his monks.
If Incinerin decides to save them, he sends his pet Phoenix into the sky to catch the convicted, searing their bodies in the act. He sees this as purging their sins away through the purity of fire.
Incinerin is an agent of order, he gathers up the forgotten scum of society and places them together to build a strong hearth.
You were born in a village atop the mountains where the people couldn't stand the sight of you and tossed you over the Peak as a baby. Incinerin saved you and brought you into his home. You were not treated as a daughter though, you have been a servant of his slowly growing brotherhood.
Inside his chambers there was a crystal ball with two flames constantly flickering inside, a white and black flame. There was also ancient texts reading about a time before it was man versus elf, a time where it was everyone versus the beasts. Also upon his wall there were many hides of old dragons passed down by his ancestors. When you were young you would ask about his collection and he would tell you stories.
The first was about how the flames represented order and chaos within the world. They end up balancing most times but he dreams of a world where the black flame overcomes the chaotic white. The ebbs and flows of the world events constantly causes shifts. His order was founded a very long time ago when the fire was pure white, where chaos spread across the realm. His order fought against a god itself. In their minds, the Dragon god of Order and Chaos had grown lazy. Dragons roamed the land killing and stealing everything in their wake. These were emissaries of Synapsid the dragon king and the white flame burned brightly for centuries. People and elven kind had had enough and banded together to slay all the chaotic dragons, leaving them a rarity inside Galfin.
Another story he told was that of the kingfisher bird. This bird would hunt in a unique way, it would catch its lizard prey and not only kill it, it would beat the body of the lizard against the ground, again and again and again, long past the point of being dead, it would continue crushing the lizard until its bones were shards and any hope of breaking free was gone. Even once it knew it won, it would beat the lizard to show it where its place was.
This is why Incinerins order claimed the name the Kingfishers, they are ancient dragon hunters who await a day when chaos usurps control and they are needed once more.
In the later years, before you left, Incinerin began experimenting on your demon lineage, he kept trying to imbue you with a small amount of power from the Dragon king Synapsid. The procedure was very painful but he believed that the best way to kill a dragon was to have part of it flow through you. His kind gestures grew scarce as you realized that he only ever intended for you to be a weapon.
Steal the crystal ball as you wander the world.
You sail to Eidon with the mudguards. Miles is also your boat. While you sail, a swarm of seagulls fly from pacura. They blot out the sun and begin falling to their death. These birds begin flaming a bright green burn when they strike anything. In the distance, before the far sight is blocked out, you see another ship coming towards you that is currently set on fire. You knock back some of the swarm but continue to get pelted. Suddenly the other ships accidentally rams into you and a trifling monk gets off the boat. An orb in her hand that contains two competing flames, a black and white flame spiraling around it self. The orb glows bright and fends off the swarm, all the birds fall dead into the water. Bedlam introduces herself and says she was lead to you by the orb. A cosmic shift has happened as of late and she felt compelled to follow the order to your team, who are somehow entwined in the webs of law and chaos. You arrive on Eidon You are greeted by Mako in front of some stone walls being built in the center of Diggory's village. around you see mudguards and native batgoblins that lost their home when thormund burned it. they were building the structure in front of you. this was being built as a staging point for the war but with peace now here Max has no more use of it. Mako handed each of you 3000 gp within sacks, this is the reward Maximus promised you for assisting in the peace brought to Pacura. Mako tells you that the Eidon Stronghold is now yours to do with as you wish. your crew as well as anyone you recruit for your settlement will live and work here. They will assists you on a ravens notice if you are far away. you can build better walls, new shops with discounts to you, you can store items here, customize your rooms, raise taxes, build fleets or capture enemies.

I'm going to go build a shrine in the area you designate the graveyard, I never found my mother's body after the tsunami but I hope i can honor her hear on my new home. a few patrons have already taken up camp here as they think of you as good people. Bedlam and Sossari begin talking to the batgoblins, bedlam introducing herself to each one and sossari asking who knew snerz. You talk to nug who knows nothing and then suds who mentions merz still lives in the blindbat jungle. Then meet zom who left snerz to die in the forest, zom then tried to steal snerz girlfriend razzi only to be shot down. In anger zom sold her off to slavers, the leader with the last name of ahuud. Triss tries to make Joseph apologize to blimbo but the wound is still fresh, blimbonis unable to disenchant athos axe as it was his sister in law who made that magic. He has no weapons yet and is just getting set up. He gets angry at the elves so triss casts charm person to calm him. They all leave and then Joseph sneaks back in.

Blimbo has moved to your island now that his wife was buried, he couldn't go back to that shop. He plays his violin in the town square every other Incagur (monday) of each month, weather permitting. He runs a blacksmith shop where he provides discounts. Sol the dark elf has moved his bookshop from Ios to here and set up a more permenant shop, he is beginning work on a new manuscript that will hopefully not be erased by someone who needs to copy some text. Miles the Mudman has set up a mudshack and pottery booth. the remaining batgoblins rides boars into the regrowing jungle and hunt crocodile to help feed the settlement. Mother Maggie's sister Mildred has set up an inn and diner for any weary travellers, The back houses a Guzzler tavern run by Izill, Skalden works as a chef using his pyromancy at Mildred's diner. Skalden also runs a yandu tent inside the forest where he hangs out with the batgoblins. Franny opened a bakery to make treats for all your new citizens. A Milosian sailweaver named Brandi moved to begin her clothes making career. Merdock dropped of some of the fast growing sogwood bamboo that Ios was famous for arboring, it needs a swampy area to grow and the mud pits outside Eidon are just right, your builders can use this to build quickly. Garvin's houseboat could be seen docked as he set up a fish market on the shore. Brunhild provided some Wardens as both protection and efficient builders. Antiguo, the blind old fisherman from Kinaros could be seen carving sculptures of commissioned pieces. One of Sootha, one of Diggory, one of Tayne, one of Snerz and one of Henri Sallya. Sossari talks to grek and invests more into his business. Assaimars landing will be the first shop seen when people arrive on Eidon. A missionary who came from Gyaron named rogerio tried to hand out pamphlets pushing for hatred against the lizard people. Bedlam was asking him questions as he called sossari over. The missionary explained that ralf of gyaron was recruiting people to take up the fight against dragons and their kind. The dragons that reawole on the mainland have been causing destruction and a group is trying to rally together to put an end to them. Sossari doesn't want this kind of garbage on her new island so calls arygos over. Rogerio is polite but insists that he wants to kills arygos for his dragon relation. They take one pamphlet and burn the rest. Arygos heaves the missionary off the cliff by aasimars landing . Sossari hands the pamphlet to grek and asks him to stop anyone coming into sidon with those. Grek plans to use the funds to hire some security. Joseph handed some smithy tools to zom to end the session. This is your new stronghold and can be upgraded as you earn money. issues will arise where you may need someone to handle something but that would require an appointed official to run things when you aren't here. After they pick a representative that they feel will run their stronghold well, the can explore around. Arygos goes to Blimbo's shop to find he is missing as well as some of his tools. He then finds his body recently buried in the memorial garden Bedlam hires Wal'Du to begin work on an establishment. Joseph hangs out at the bar while Wal'Du is away. He meets a blind old man named Antiguo. Arygos comes to confront Dex but is greeted by the friendly Kinarosian man he has met before. Hey both head to the infirmary to check Blimbo's body. Triss spends the day working on the main parts homes. Replacing the shantys with actual homes. Sossari asks Grek who he can trust and is sent over to Garvin the houseboat owner. Sossari has never met him and interrupts Miles the mudman explaining blueberry muddies. Garvin is taken aback by sossari knowing about his past as a member of the high guard. Garvin was forced to retire after the public found out about the battle of snow peak and that it wasnt a battle to fight monsters, it was a church of dhara orchestrated genocide. Garvin cannot fight anymore but maybe knows some contacts of old high guard members out of work on the mainland. Grek also tells sossari he trusts blimbo the blacksmith so she heads over there, running into arygos and Joseph bickering over the dead body. Bedlam wanders over as well as she leaves the plans in the hand of the bone ogre bartender. They begin arguing about what to do when Grek comes in to get then to sign off a new business permit. Zom the goblin wants to use his new tools to open a smithy. The team interrogate him and find he dodnt kill blimbo and was told by a shadowy figure that blacksmithing might just be his calling. Zom was given blimbos shop and began work on a gold ring for bedlam horn. Everyone in town is calling the leaders lordiness. A loud noise is heard from the shore at aasimars landing. They rush over to find a crater burst out of the ground and fancy dressed kobold elites attacking the lighthouse. A burger flies by them as they begin to attack. A young wind dragon almost kills triss after both her and arygos try and speak draconian to no avail. They eventually defeat the monster and bedlam skins it. The grave it climbed out of had a swirling black and white mist at the bottom. They could see the rocks had what used to be fossils but had broken as the dragonkin had risen. This dragon grave had not been disturbed in thousands of years. Bedlam finds a small white rhombus inside the hole. After this the Ocean King arrives to check on his new colony. Max commends them on killing a dragon and says that people on the mainland would pay well to dragon slayers. The dragons have been causing havoc all over. Because of that, an emergency meeting has been called in Arboran, the capital of Mooncrest and bastion of the East. Max is going to stay one night and sail out in the morning. He informs you that you can catch a ride with him but cannot leave without assigning a regent to lead the island in your absence. The group selects grek as bedlam awkwardly runs off covered in blood to go put her new loot her establishment. Triss and arygos invest in some warmer clothes as its getting a chilly on the mainland. Joseph goes to bed, Bedlam finds a barrel on the streets to sleep behind. Sossari and Maximus walk back to the new blacksmith shop, where sosarri saw Grek was hiding during the battle on the shore. The lordiness and the Ocean King inform Grek that he will be regent and he is very emotional about it. He thanks then and shakes sossori's hand, he is about to bow to max but reaches out his hand instead, max smirks and shakes it. On their way back, sossari and max see bedlam, the king carefully picks her up and takes her back to her new bed. Sossari rests as max goes to the tavern to meet his new constituents. once you choose where to go, a seagull falls bloody and grayed onto your ship. then another, you looks up to see a swarm of birds flying away from something, all these birds are escaping pacura. above the waters and they all are beginning to drop from the sky and pelt the crew. the birds have an eeroe green glow to them. you look back to the distance of pacura when the light fades away. above you, blotting out the sun is an enormous mass of creatures taking up the entire sky, they look to be coming from the far east province of hearthen suddenly another ocean dragon breaches the ocean, and then another, as your eyes adjust and these leviathans take flight, you realize that the mass above is 1000s of dragons flying towards the mainland, you see them begin to fly off in all directions, breathing fire, lighting and acid on faroff fishing boats. they rains down chaos as you near the mainland. The Dragons have arrived. The Revenants of the Pit are unsealed. Adventure awaits you on the Galfin Mainland.

The party separated and went off on their own while leaving Woxbood sitting alone at the entrance. Woxbood is sad about the woman of the Thistle Watch dying.

She told woxbood to stay on the roof as she investigated. Kleatus left as Woxbood made his noisy entrance. Bedlam had already slit Myreene's throat.

They woke up and began training, Woxbood sweats sap. Triss finishes up at the library to run into a sweaty bedlam and woxbood. She cleans them up as they discuss the dead oil lady.

Inside there are cages of dead dragon wyrmlings tortured and slaughtered. Sossari casts light and the find a lone dragon in the corner cage. It is oozing black liquid from its scales. The cage is encrusted with black Crystal's opposite of the ones Bedlam found. The dying beast reacted positively to the crystal so Bedlam ded it to him. It began to speak in modern draconic.all the older dragons speak the lost language of Synapsi. That's why they cant understand but the younger wyrmlings know modern speak. The dragons name was Amethyst and revealed that the Kingfishers were using their stash of Crystal's to enrage the dragons and cause them pain. Amethyst mentioned that the leader of this province's Kingfishers was wielding the Dragonlance stolen from the Village of Nak. Triss found one document left with any information in it, a food order for a displacer beast with special instructions to get it right.

The story goes that Synapsid accepted his fate because he knew those 6 heroes would balance the world on their own without his meddling. He attacked them on a path along the Firefang Jags. He sent many of them crashing to their graves at the base of the mountain. The 6 heroes defeated the last dragon and it turned into the synapse to await another time when a little chaos was needed to balance the scales.

You enter a room used for experiments. You see the Cross brothers strapped to chairs and in bad shape. They have been tortured. As arygos frees the second brother, he hears a low grunt from the back. Attached to a chair by spikes is Pathos. His brother gives Arygos a necklace that was their mothers, it has the emblem of the Merkaynian Enclave. Rayne and Grai suggest the others should leave while commenting how they don't think they could do what Arygos has to do. Arygos gives back his brother hammer but Pathos immediately gives it back, as a gift this time. The brothers look into each others eyes as Pathos whispers, do it.

Started in Greywyn. Sossari cures lindwyrm fever. Needed to take a fairy trail. Went backwards to Onaza Grimbind and he replicated Snerz using a memory swipe spell. He tells you how to get to Oakton through the trails. Fight a firestorm guardian centaur in a chess puzzle. Arrive in Oakton and everyone is wearing cardigans. Walk to Arboran to see the siege beginning. Arygos stays in the outskirts because night is about to fall. The others find a way through a cave into the Hedgespire. Talk down some wolves. Meet Maven Grimbind, Wegelia and Addikus Windslayer. 1 hour until sundown and Triss attacks the enemy troops, starting the siege early. The Red Herons army was already attacking before Blackcherry arrived. They all fought off the battle as Sossari charged up totems with electricity to create a barrier around the castle. Arygos, Dex and Bedlam held back Blackcherry's army once it arrived. Sossari and Trss used magic to defend the walls. Arygos and Bedlam defeated Blackcherry as Dex took out his army Triss fended off the Red Herons attack at the loss of the remaining Thistlewatch. The Red Heron retreated as they brought the dragonlance to the pillar at Hedgespire. Windslayer ranted on how gods meddle too much, he traces the corrupted Synapsid symbol into his castle using Sossari's totems. The symbol froze the party as Maven released the magic months to neutralize the partys magic. Windslayer took the dragonlance and destroyed the egg. Black flame surged into Arygos and white into bedlam. Causing some discoloration. They awoke still feeling paralyzed from the spell. They are in the cell beneath Hedgespire. The Red Heron walks down and says how dragons are evil and the Kingfishers will bring order back to the world. He tosses you a white crystal and tells you this is the last time he saves you. Reveals himself to be Chris. Bedlam can use the crystal against Arygos. A spectral Pathos appears, the last soul sucked into Arygos by his axe. Pathos breaks the chains of the door.
You are in the jail cell and feel very malnourished. It has been longer than a day since you were betrayed. Christopher offered you his assistance 6 days after you were caught in the blast that killed Synapsid. After revealing himself, he promised that the next time he sees the team, he will treat them as an enemy. Sossari tries heat metal, bedlam breaks her own wrist, arygos is knocked out, triss blasts a fire bolt at Joseph's chain, after a couple failed attempts Sossari just turns into a mouse to escape. After Chris walks up the stairs, you feel a rumble shake the entire structure. Rocks begin to crumble from the ceiling. The stairs get blocked by rubble. As the shake settles you see green acid flowing through the cracks in the rocks. The party gets their things and finds Wegelia dead in the cell next to them. In her hand is a letter to her late husband Woxbood hoping she is buried in the ground so she can decompose and be one with nature. Sossari molds earth to find dirt and buries the bramble dwarf. The acid is filling the room. Sossari uses her Cape of flying and triss just runs through the acid. Dex holding up Arygos and Bedlam find a chest of gold and items. After looting Triss uses her belt of hill giant strength to break a section of the wall attached to a drainage pipe. Sossari molds earth so Arygos can fit through. The party finds a great cedar tree with purple orchids growing around it, this is the symbol of Shoreez. This tree has used this natural cavern to absorb water and the peak of its foliage to gather sunlight as it peaks through the surface. Sossari receives a vison from Shoreez. She is happy that her emissary is gathering a following but she needs her to destroy the Exodect statue in Crinian or a great calamity will befall Eidon. The group climbs the tree as the acidic groundwater makes it's way behind them. Triss throws Arygos limp body up towards the ceiling twice. The first time he impacts the ceiling, damaging it. The second time he bursts through the ceiling and light shines down from the sky. The rest climb the tree. After you make your way passed the acidic ground water, you enter the city of Arboran from a the hole in the surface. You see the adult black dragon circling the skies and melting the stone brickwork of the castle with its powerful acid breath. You also see Aero storming the castle with the help of more werewolves. Aero takes out the rest of the grunt Kingfishers with the help of Bedlam and the Cross brothers. Aero set out a call in the night of the full two moons and the wolves expended their energy to rally to their Alpha. 6 days of travel and they made it here without a fae crossing. The Cross brothers escaped when Addikus betrayed the team. Rayne wants to reestablish the Cardinalhood but without the corruption Barren Blackcherry brought with him. Rayne seeks to invite Aero and his hunters to help him bring order back to the Mooncrest. He will help rebuild Greywyn and also wants to be officially affiliated with the Shatterbrand. Triss mentions they should rebrand from Blackcherry's team name. Grai is a man without a home, he still seeks to fight even after his military record was forcibly ended years ago. Grai offers his sword to help lead the mercenaries of Eidon. It is revealed that the Red Heron Christopher Knackle, the Mockingbird Addikus Windslayer and the Bloodhawk Maven Grimbind all escaped when the Fenris Tribe and black dragon stormed the castle. The trio was saved when Maven revealed herself to be a succubus and flew off with the leaders. They were aiming towards the Vargen Swamplands province. Rayne fears that they are regrouping with their leader with the Capitol of Skygarde in their sights. The throne sits empty and all of Galfin now knows this. Grai points out that he noticed Addikus had fang marks on his neck. He reveals it has been 6 days since you were incarcerated. Aero was able to stop a transport wagon before the other kingfishers could escape. Triss tasks Grai with searching the Eidon library for any hints on how to kill a succubus. Triss and Bedlam decide to try and speak to the dragon sitting atop the melted Hedgespire. Triss repeats some synapsi she has heard but the dragon does not respond. Bedlam unknowingly speaks its language as the ridges on her horn glow bright white. She can communicate with the dragon who reveals his name to be Blazareth. It understands the Synapsi language. It will thank them for saving it by acknowledging their presence. He mentions how the Kingfishers are just a human reaction to the problem. The dragons were awoken to counteract something much more pressing. He is unaware of why but knows that dragons are immortal beings of chaos, they would only be used to balance an extreme shift in power and oppression. He is hesitant to say the reason for the reawakening is to fight the humans as they came into power because of the reawakening, the kingfishers did not cause it. Alas he no longer can hear Synapsid's murmurs within his mind. He can still sense remnants of the dragon god with the world as order and chaos rock the scales. He slightly gestures towards bedlam's horns. He informs you that he will fly north to the Firefang jags where the last dragon was slaughtered. It was a dragon safe haven and he hopes to rally his kind there. At this point the world knows that the High King and his son were killed by dragons, this takes a more sinister turn when you realize that Addikus was the last person to see them alive and he commanded with the faction who could enrage dragons. You take a long rest in Arboran. Over the next 6 days you travel by cart to Crinian without any resistance. Once you arrive you begin to resupply. Mundan has taken over Gaffo's shop he speaks very simple and thanks you for your patronage. Triss and Joseph check out the magical Trinkets store and run into Swirler the raven folk. After some haggling and debate, he tells you that you two are terrible customers. As you bickered he noticed the Merkayne Brand on Joseph's forearm. Joseph slits his throat to hide the secret. Triss and Joseph take the items he was showing them and leave. Dex throws Swirler into the river. Bedlam and Sossari are scoping out the courtyard with the statue Shoreez requested them to destroy. Ridra the goblin librarian is worshipping her deity there. The duo try and get her to leave but she confesses she has two things she lives by, her god and her library. At this point Triss and Joseph arrive and Triss asks for a book. The trio remaining at the statue begin setting up oil and barrels and step back. They toss a lantern as sossari ignites it mid air with produce flame. The statue ignites as the flame spreads to the barrels. The statue explodes violently, setting ablaze the church to exodect as well as the roof of the library that Triss is in. Ridra heard this and runs out, screaming hysterically in sadness. Triss quickly finds an atlas of the Vargen Swamplands and escapes. Dex hides behind a building as bedlam and sossari jump in the river. Outside of Crinian another tree can be seen. Shoreez appears in the form of a spectral Sossari and tells the aasimar that the followers she is gaining will be needed in a war to come. Gods will be unseated as a sickness spreads through Galfin.
You sail to Eidon with the mudguards. Miles is also your boat. While you sail, a swarm of seagulls fly from pacura. They blot out the sun and begin falling to their death. These birds begin flaming a bright green burn when they strike anything. In the distance, before the far sight is blocked out, you see another ship coming towards you that is currently set on fire. You knock back some of the swarm but continue to get pelted. Suddenly the other ships accidentally rams into you and a trifling monk gets off the boat. An orb in her hand that contains two competing flames, a black and white flame spiraling around it self. The orb glows bright and fends off the swarm, all the birds fall dead into the water. Bedlam introduces herself and says she was lead to you by the orb. A cosmic shift has happened as of late and she felt compelled to follow the order to your team, who are somehow entwined in the webs of law and chaos. You arrive on Eidon You are greeted by Mako in front of some stone walls being built in the center of Diggory's village. around you see mudguards and native batgoblins that lost their home when thormund burned it. they were building the structure in front of you. this was being built as a staging point for the war but with peace now here Max has no more use of it.

Bedlam and Sossari begin talking to the batgoblins, bedlam introducing herself to each one and sossari asking who knew snerz. You talk to nug who knows nothing and then suds who mentions merz still lives in the blindbat jungle. Then meet zom who left snerz to die in the forest, zom then tried to steal snerz girlfriend razzi only to be shot down. In anger zom sold her off to slavers, the leader with the last name of ahuud. Triss tries to make Joseph apologize to blimbo but the wound is still fresh, blimbonis unable to disenchant athos axe as it was his sister in law who made that magic. He has no weapons yet and is just getting set up. He gets angry at the elves so triss casts charm person to calm him. They all leave and then Joseph sneaks back in.

Iggy and Azalea moved to Eidon to help rebuild and start a new jam store that is also making other preservatives. Azalea has an iguana sanctuary that is open to take care of other animals you befriend along the way but don't want to have follow you. Blimbo has moved to your island now that his wife was buried, he couldn't go back to that shop. He plays his violin in the town square every other Incagur (monday) of each month, weather permitting. He runs a blacksmith shop where he provides discounts. Sol the dark elf has moved his bookshop from Ios to here and set up a more permenant shop, he is beginning work on a new manuscript that will hopefully not be erased by someone who needs to copy some text. Miles the Mudman has set up a mudshack and pottery booth. the remaining batgoblins rides boars into the regrowing jungle and hunt crocodile to help feed the settlement. Mother Maggie's sister Mildred has set up an inn and diner for any weary travellers, The back houses a Guzzler tavern run by Izill, Skalden works as a chef using his pyromancy at Mildred's diner. Skalden also runs a yandu tent inside the forest where he hangs out with the batgoblins. Franny opened a bakery to make treats for all your new citizens. A Milosian sailweaver named Brandi moved to begin her clothes making career. Merdock dropped of some of the fast growing sogwood bamboo that Ios was famous for arboring, it needs a swampy area to grow and the mud pits outside Eidon are just right, your builders can use this to build quickly. Garvin's houseboat could be seen docked as he set up a fish market on the shore. Brunhild provided some Wardens as both protection and efficient builders. Antiguo, the blind old fisherman from Kinaros could be seen carving sculptures of commissioned pieces. One of Sootha, one of Diggory, one of Tayne, one of Snerz and one of Henri Sallya. Sossari talks to grek and invests more into his business. Assaimars landing will be the first shop seen when people arrive on Eidon. A missionary who came from Gyaron named rogerio tried to hand out pamphlets pushing for hatred against the lizard people. Bedlam was asking him questions as he called sossari over. The missionary explained that ralf of gyaron was recruiting people to take up the fight against dragons and their kind. The dragons that reawole on the mainland have been causing destruction and a group is trying to rally together to put an end to them. Sossari doesn't want this kind of garbage on her new island so calls arygos over. Rogerio is polite but insists that he wants to kills arygos for his dragon relation. They take one pamphlet and burn the rest. Arygos heaves the missionary off the cliff by aasimars landing . Sossari hands the pamphlet to grek and asks him to stop anyone coming into sidon with those. Grek plans to use the funds to hire some security. Joseph handed some smithy tools to zom to end the session. This is your new stronghold and can be upgraded as you earn money. issues will arise where you may need someone to handle something but that would require an appointed official to run things when you aren't here. After they pick a representative that they feel will run their stronghold well, the can explore around. Arygos goes to Blimbo's shop to find he is missing as well as some of his tools. He then finds his body recently buried in the memorial garden Bedlam hires Wal'Du to begin work on an establishment. Joseph hangs out at the bar while Wal'Du is away. He meets a blind old man named Antiguo. Arygos comes to confront Dex but is greeted by the friendly Kinarosian man he has met before. Hey both head to the infirmary to check Blimbo's body. Triss spends the day working on the main parts homes. Replacing the shantys with actual homes. Sossari asks Grek who he can trust and is sent over to Garvin the houseboat owner. Sossari has never met him and interrupts Miles the mudman explaining blueberry muddies. Garvin is taken aback by sossari knowing about his past as a member of the high guard. Garvin was forced to retire after the public found out about the battle of snow peak and that it wasnt a battle to fight monsters, it was a church of dhara orchestrated genocide. Garvin cannot fight anymore but maybe knows some contacts of old high guard members out of work on the mainland. Grek also tells sossari he trusts blimbo the blacksmith so she heads over there, running into arygos and Joseph bickering over the dead body. Bedlam wanders over as well as she leaves the plans in the hand of the bone ogre bartender. They begin arguing about what to do when Grek comes in to get then to sign off a new business permit. Zom the goblin wants to use his new tools to open a smithy. The team interrogate him and find he dodnt kill blimbo and was told by a shadowy figure that blacksmithing might just be his calling. Zom was given blimbos shop and began work on a gold ring for bedlam horn. Everyone in town is calling the leaders lordiness. A loud noise is heard from the shore at aasimars landing. They rush over to find a crater burst out of the ground and fancy dressed kobold elites attacking the lighthouse. A burger flies by them as they begin to attack. A young wind dragon almost kills triss after both her and arygos try and speak draconian to no avail. They eventually defeat the monster and bedlam skins it. The grave it climbed out of had a swirling black and white mist at the bottom. They could see the rocks had what used to be fossils but had broken as the dragonkin had risen. This dragon grave had not been disturbed in thousands of years. Bedlam finds a small white rhombus inside the hole. After this the Ocean King arrives to check on his new colony. Max commends them on killing a dragon and says that people on the mainland would pay well to dragon slayers. The dragons have been causing havoc all over. Because of that, an emergency meeting has been called in Arboran, the capital of Mooncrest and bastion of the East. Max is going to stay one night and sail out in the morning. He informs you that you can catch a ride with him but cannot leave without assigning a regent to lead the island in your absence. The group selects grek as bedlam awkwardly runs off covered in blood to go put her new loot her establishment. Triss and arygos invest in some warmer clothes as its getting a chilly on the mainland. Joseph goes to bed, Bedlam finds a barrel on the streets to sleep behind. Sossari and Maximus walk back to the new blacksmith shop, where sosarri saw Grek was hiding during the battle on the shore. The lordiness and the Ocean King inform Grek that he will be regent and he is very emotional about it. He thanks then and shakes sossori's hand, he is about to bow to max but reaches out his hand instead, max smirks and shakes it. On their way back, sossari and max see bedlam, the king carefully picks her up and takes her back to her new bed. Sossari rests as max goes to the tavern to meet his new constituents. once you choose where to go, a seagull falls bloody and grayed onto your ship. then another, you looks up to see a swarm of birds flying away from something, all these birds are escaping pacura. above the waters and they all are beginning to drop from the sky and pelt the crew. the birds have an eeroe green glow to them. you look back to the distance of pacura when the light fades away. above you, blotting out the sun is an enormous mass of creatures taking up the entire sky, they look to be coming from the far east province of hearthen suddenly another ocean dragon breaches the ocean, and then another, as your eyes adjust and these leviathans take flight, you realize that the mass above is 1000s of dragons flying towards the mainland, you see them begin to fly off in all directions, breathing fire, lighting and acid on faroff fishing boats. they rains down chaos as you near the mainland. The Dragons have arrived. The Revenants of the Pit are unsealed. Adventure awaits you on the Galfin Mainland.

Crinian - Vineyard out of the woods. Barrett offers a bottle of wine. The men working are brought in by an organization from Myst. The party separated and went off on their own while leaving Woxbood sitting alone at the entrance. Woxbood is sad about the woman of the Thistle Watch dying. Toldur is a human vineyard worker who lost his carpentry business in Skygarde to the banker dwarf Oxford Regalsmith. They possessed his home for 3200 gp and then his wife left 7 years ago with his 14 year old daughter. Bedlam gives Toldur rare iron bands that should cover the cost of his repossessed home.

Lit the warehouse on fire to reveal a metal interior. Scoped it out on the roof of the essential oils shop. Bedlam watched Kleatus kiss Myreene and then sneak through the hidden tunnel to the south. She told woxbood to stay on the roof as she investigated. Kleatus left as Woxbood made his noisy entrance. Bedlam had already slit Myreene's throat. Woxbood said that some men in red armor were in the metal warehouse across the street. She ran away and slept in a tree. Woxbood made a sod blanket and both went to bed. They woke up and began training, Woxbood sweats sap. Triss finishes up at the library to run into a sweaty bedlam and woxbood. She cleans them up as they discuss the dead oil lady. Woxbood comes out with his quilted bridge and tells how he thought he was scammed by a traveling salesman. Triss and Bedlam tell him to go work at the vineyard. As Arygos makes his way across town, he runs into triss and bedlam. They discuss under a bridge about the mischievous deeds of last night. They make their way to the oil shop and retrieve bedlam rope. After arguing they make their way to the tunnel while triss has a smoke. They find Kleaftus who used to work with Arygos.

A fight ensues and the good guys prevail after some self inflicted wounds and head devouring by a sabre toothed tiger. Kleatus calls out in his dying breath that he is glad they captured Arygos' Brother. Bedlam takes a key off of the slave leader and they make their way inside the warehouse. Inside there are cages of dead dragon wyrmlings tortured and slaughtered. Sossari casts light and the find a lone dragon in the corner cage. It is oozing black liquid from its scales. The cage is encrusted with black Crystal's opposite of the ones Bedlam found. The dying beast reacted positively to the crystal so Bedlam ded it to him. It began to speak in modern draconic.all the older dragons speak the lost language of Synapsi. That's why they cant understand but the younger wyrmlings know modern speak. The dragons name was Amethyst and revealed that the Kingfishers were using their stash of Crystal's to enrage the dragons and cause them pain. Amethyst mentioned that the leader of this province's Kingfishers was wielding the Dragonlance stolen from the Village of Nak. Triss found one document left with any information in it, a food order for a displacer beast with special instructions to get it right. The reason why there was so much caution was the displacer beast was owned by Barren Blackcherry. Current leader of the Mooncrest Kingfishers and the Cardinalhood. Fisherman/slavers/essential oil/ resort working to take memories of people. In particular any soldier who fought under Barren Blackcherry. He is trying to cover up his war crimes.

They became the first dragon kin when the god fell to the 6 heroes of man, these were slaves freed by the attacking dragons. The story goes that Synapsid accepted his fate because he knew those 6 heroes would balance the world on their own without his meddling. He attacked them on a path along the Firefang Jags. He sent many of them crashing to their graves at the base of the mountain. The 6 heroes defeated the last dragon and it turned into the synapse to await another time when a little chaos was needed to balance the scales. He then tells them that the High King Orion Skytracer and Prince Damarrus were killed when they left Arboran by a dragon that was enraged. Maximus is dealing with his own threat of animals attacking civilians as their skin burns emerald. The High throne of Galfin was empty for the first time in over 200 years.

After all characters leave the circle, an unwitting Woxbood strolls into the village. Arygos slays the bramble dwarf with his greatsword. An argument happens where Arygos is livid about the axe. A lindwurm is attacking the village and controlled by a corrupted synapsid brand. Bedlam lodges the axe into the beast and arygos wrestles it to get his possession back.

Triss and Joseph decode to infiltrate to let the group know something is amiss. They meet up in the great hall and find the other keys. Triss turns an armory into an oven and kills 4 of them while collecting some weapons. The party releases a dragon with the help of the Synapse and it blasts a hole through the ceiling. Finding another key amongst purple moths similar to the ones you found in Gyaron. The last key is in the dwarven barracks where the Red Heron stayed. They find orders from the Red Heron to the Butcherbird telling them to mobilize their armies on the target. The party concurs that this must mean the Capitol of Arboran. The Kingfishers seek power and wish to take the East. The make their way into the room being used as a conduit to control the dragons. The purple glow corrupts a symbol of Synapsid. Arygos can take the lightning and destroys the totems as Bedlam gathers some more crystals. The party moves forward, sossai hiding back because she is exhausted from her fever. You enter a room used for experiments. You see the Cross brothers strapped to chairs and in bad shape. They have been tortured. As arygos frees the second brother, he hears a low grunt from the back. Attached to a chair by spikes is Pathos. His brother gives Arygos a necklace that was their mothers, it has the emblem of the Merkaynian Enclave. Rayne and Grai suggest the others should leave while commenting how they don't think they could do what Arygos has to do. Arygos gives back his brother hammer but Pathos immediately gives it back, as a gift this time. The brothers look into each others eyes as Pathos whispers, do it. Arygos kills his brother, doing so breaks the curse as he completed a true act of mercy. Arygos takes the axe and throws it into a molten metal flow nearby.

Started in Greywyn. Sossari cures lindwyrm fever. Needed to take a fairy trail. Went backwards to Onaza Grimbind and he replicated Snerz using a memory swipe spell. He tells you how to get to Oakton through the trails. Fight a firestorm guardian centaur in a chess puzzle. Arrive in Oakton and everyone is wearing cardigans. Walk to Arboran to see the siege beginning. Arygos stays in the outskirts because night is about to fall. The others find a way through a cave into the Hedgespire. Talk down some wolves. Meet Maven Grimbind, Wegelia and Addikus Windslayer. 1 hour until sundown and Triss attacks the enemy troops, starting the siege early. The Red Herons army was already attacking before Blackcherry arrived. They all fought off the battle as Sossari charged up totems with electricity to create a barrier around the castle. Arygos, Dex and Bedlam held back Blackcherry's army once it arrived. Sossari and Trss used magic to defend the walls. Arygos and Bedlam defeated Blackcherry as Dex took out his army Triss fended off the Red Herons attack at the loss of the remaining Thistlewatch. The Red Heron retreated as they brought the dragonlance to the pillar at Hedgespire. Windslayer ranted on how gods meddle too much, he traces the corrupted Synapsid symbol into his castle using Sossari's totems. The symbol froze the party as Maven released the magic months to neutralize the partys magic. Windslayer took the dragonlance and destroyed the egg. Black flame surged into Arygos and white into bedlam. Causing some discoloration. They awoke still feeling paralyzed from the spell. They are in the cell beneath Hedgespire. The Red Heron walks down and says how dragons are evil and the Kingfishers will bring order back to the world. He tosses you a white crystal and tells you this is the last time he saves you. Reveals himself to be Chris. Bedlam can use the crystal against Arygos. A spectral Pathos appears, the last soul sucked into Arygos by his axe. Pathos breaks the chains of the door.
You are in the jail cell and feel very malnourished. It has been longer than a day since you were betrayed. Christopher offered you his assistance 6 days after you were caught in the blast that killed Synapsid. After revealing himself, he promised that the next time he sees the team, he will treat them as an enemy. Sossari tries heat metal, bedlam breaks her own wrist, arygos is knocked out, triss blasts a fire bolt at Joseph's chain, after a couple failed attempts Sossari just turns into a mouse to escape. After Chris walks up the stairs, you feel a rumble shake the entire structure. Rocks begin to crumble from the ceiling. The stairs get blocked by rubble. As the shake settles you see green acid flowing through the cracks in the rocks. The party gets their things and finds Wegelia dead in the cell next to them. In her hand is a letter to her late husband Woxbood hoping she is buried in the ground so she can decompose and be one with nature. Sossari molds earth to find dirt and buries the bramble dwarf. The acid is filling the room. Sossari uses her Cape of flying and triss just runs through the acid. Dex holding up Arygos and Bedlam find a chest of gold and items. After looting Triss uses her belt of hill giant strength to break a section of the wall attached to a drainage pipe. Sossari molds earth so Arygos can fit through. The party finds a great cedar tree with purple orchids growing around it, this is the symbol of Shoreez. This tree has used this natural cavern to absorb water and the peak of its foliage to gather sunlight as it peaks through the surface. Sossari receives a vison from Shoreez. She is happy that her emissary is gathering a following but she needs her to destroy the Exodect statue in Crinian or a great calamity will befall Eidon. The group climbs the tree as the acidic groundwater makes it's way behind them. Triss throws Arygos limp body up towards the ceiling twice. The first time he impacts the ceiling, damaging it. The second time he bursts through the ceiling and light shines down from the sky. The rest climb the tree. After you make your way passed the acidic ground water, you enter the city of Arboran from a the hole in the surface. You see the adult black dragon circling the skies and melting the stone brickwork of the castle with its powerful acid breath. You also see Aero storming the castle with the help of more werewolves. Aero takes out the rest of the grunt Kingfishers with the help of Bedlam and the Cross brothers. Aero set out a call in the night of the full two moons and the wolves expended their energy to rally to their Alpha. 6 days of travel and they made it here without a fae crossing. The Cross brothers escaped when Addikus betrayed the team. Rayne wants to reestablish the Cardinalhood but without the corruption Barren Blackcherry brought with him. Rayne seeks to invite Aero and his hunters to help him bring order back to the Mooncrest. He will help rebuild Greywyn and also wants to be officially affiliated with the Shatterbrand. Triss mentions they should rebrand from Blackcherry's team name. Grai is a man without a home, he still seeks to fight even after his military record was forcibly ended years ago. Grai offers his sword to help lead the mercenaries of Eidon. It is revealed that the Red Heron Christopher Knackle, the Mockingbird Addikus Windslayer and the Bloodhawk Maven Grimbind all escaped when the Fenris Tribe and black dragon stormed the castle. The trio was saved when Maven revealed herself to be a succubus and flew off with the leaders. They were aiming towards the Vargen Swamplands province. Rayne fears that they are regrouping with their leader with the Capitol of Skygarde in their sights. The throne sits empty and all of Galfin now knows this. Grai points out that he noticed Addikus had fang marks on his neck. He reveals it has been 6 days since you were incarcerated. Aero was able to stop a transport wagon before the other kingfishers could escape. Triss tasks Grai with searching the Eidon library for any hints on how to kill a succubus. Triss and Bedlam decide to try and speak to the dragon sitting atop the melted Hedgespire. Triss repeats some synapsi she has heard but the dragon does not respond. Bedlam unknowingly speaks its language as the ridges on her horn glow bright white. She can communicate with the dragon who reveals his name to be Blazareth. It understands the Synapsi language. It will thank them for saving it by acknowledging their presence. He mentions how the Kingfishers are just a human reaction to the problem. The dragons were awoken to counteract something much more pressing. He is unaware of why but knows that dragons are immortal beings of chaos, they would only be used to balance an extreme shift in power and oppression. He is hesitant to say the reason for the reawakening is to fight the humans as they came into power because of the reawakening, the kingfishers did not cause it. Alas he no longer can hear Synapsid's murmurs within his mind. He can still sense remnants of the dragon god with the world as order and chaos rock the scales. He slightly gestures towards bedlam's horns. He informs you that he will fly north to the Firefang jags where the last dragon was slaughtered. It was a dragon safe haven and he hopes to rally his kind there. At this point the world knows that the High King and his son were killed by dragons, this takes a more sinister turn when you realize that Addikus was the last person to see them alive and he commanded with the faction who could enrage dragons. You take a long rest in Arboran. Over the next 6 days you travel by cart to Crinian without any resistance. Once you arrive you begin to resupply. Mundan has taken over Gaffo's shop he speaks very simple and thanks you for your patronage. Triss and Joseph check out the magical Trinkets store and run into Swirler the raven folk. After some haggling and debate, he tells you that you two are terrible customers. As you bickered he noticed the Merkayne Brand on Joseph's forearm. Joseph slits his throat to hide the secret. Triss and Joseph take the items he was showing them and leave. Dex throws Swirler into the river. Bedlam and Sossari are scoping out the courtyard with the statue Shoreez requested them to destroy. Ridra the goblin librarian is worshipping her deity there. The duo try and get her to leave but she confesses she has two things she lives by, her god and her library. At this point Triss and Joseph arrive and Triss asks for a book. The trio remaining at the statue begin setting up oil and barrels and step back. They toss a lantern as sossari ignites it mid air with produce flame. The statue ignites as the flame spreads to the barrels. The statue explodes violently, setting ablaze the church to exodect as well as the roof of the library that Triss is in. Ridra heard this and runs out, screaming hysterically in sadness. Triss quickly finds an atlas of the Vargen Swamplands and escapes. Dex hides behind a building as bedlam and sossari jump in the river. Outside of Crinian another tree can be seen. Shoreez appears in the form of a spectral Sossari and tells the aasimar that the followers she is gaining will be needed in a war to come. Gods will be unseated as a sickness spreads through Galfin.
