Has the Fyrebyrd Flintlock, Ivan's Engraved Pistol
A long barreled pistol with an engraving of an eagle with fire wings etched into the side of the gun. This weapon has a unnatural warmth to it.
Fyrebyrd Notes
You can use a bonus action to speak this magic pistol's command word, causing the sharp edges of the gun to illuminate bright orange, a constant flame erupts from the barrel. These flames shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet. While the pistol is ablaze, it deals an extra 2d6 fire damage to any target it hits. The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or holster the pistol. If you are drench in water or any other liquid that would extinguish fire, this includes weather such as rain, you instead roll 1d6 fire damage
After you dealt with half the invasion the cavalry arrived with the mighty ship The Kraken. It is captained by a grim man named Ivan.
All of you quickly dispatch the rest of the attackers as Ivan drags two barely alive assailants into the war room.
Merdock clutching his stab wound pulls another raider. They invite you in. As they tie the guards up, Ivan turns to you and offers you a job. He needs paid muscle on his next supply drop in Kinaros. Then he will drop you off wherever you need to go.
The party was recovering and resting in The Kraken's Nest.
Watched as Ivan killed an old blind man who sold out the location to Lord Borigan. Merdock decided to invite you to his guilty pleasure, beast fights.
You bet money as the Flail Snail defeated the basilisk, the redcap and the jaculus. You finished off buying provisions and boarded The Kraken.
You meet the crew. Moriarty the chef is dipping raw chickens in tar, Nocturna reveals that Ivan has another reason to go to Kinaros besides the supply drop. His old second mate Cortez was rumoured to have gone mad at sea and ended up on the fishing island.
Moira takes Nocturna’s wedding band to give it to Cortez if they find him.
On the horizon after a long rest you see a Zephyrn blockade circling Kinaros.
While aboard The Kraken you defeated one of the blockade ships that Ivan sent a warning shot at.
You fought a battle against some Zephyrn Sailors, Sparrow and Condor, Ivan’s twin sons assisted in the fight as Dove, their sister captained her father’s ship.
You won and sailed towards the blockade. Ivan loaded you guys up into a steel encased room at the front of the ship. He ignited a wick and you shot out like a torpedo towards the shore. Dove steered the ship away and pulled members of the blockade with her.
You hide from some guards and then explore town. Ivan goes incognito and tells you to meet him at sunset.
You fight a patrol of Zephyr guards and Blacksun Elf spies at the campground where you landed on the islands. Ivan awaits the supply drop as his son Sparrow rows the boat all the way from deep water.
A signal is sent out from one of the cottages and the blockade is warned. The Zephyr ship launches a fireball, destroying homes and people as well as setting the supplies and Sparrow ablaze.
Moira find a cypher on the dark elves and learns some secret information Chris and Ivan swim out to the oil burning water to save Ivan’s son, both receiving burn damage as they do.
The dead boat owner was seen in Tenttown wearing Garvin’s old clothes.
Moira and crew brought the body of the boat house owner and told Ivan that this was the person who sent the signal to the fleet, almost killing his son. Everyone rested as Moira explained the plan to use both magic factions against each other to find the artifact. The artifact is in a history of magic book that Moira bought, the supposed artifact is the Phylactery of the Magelord.
Met a recovering Sparrow in the morning, he said his father headed into Fishrot Hollow after a tip that a man matching Cortez’ description was seen there not too long ago. The party needs Ivan to declare Stormblood Parlay to enter Lady Winella’s home to find the report on the location of the artifact. Wave the blue flag.
Ivan and the team save Cortez who has taken over the hive of Sporooms
Chris uses his wand of smiles while sneaking up on Ivan, I made Ivan smile but he saw Henri running off.
Entered Sawtooth under blue flag of Parlay, risking Ivan's freedom. Winella turned mean and imprisoned Ivan on the Zephyr Galleon docked to the south of the island. You were able to locate the report from 30 years ago that Vultara mentioned. It doesn’t have much but it lists an Eastern fisherman reporting a friendly merelf named Deway as well as burying a body Deway brought to shore.
Winny was mentioned a relative of Lady Winella.
Saved from the burning Zephyrn ship after the Blue Parlay failed because Winella was an imposter.
Max and Kricia introduce you to their daughter Illia, the future princess of Pacura. Kricia, the prophet gives each of you a clam shell with a letter written in it. She even gives you one for Sossori, which you decide to read out loud as a team.
Kinaros, Hydri, Milos, Kyra and Eidon in spirit fight against the tyranny of Typhon and Zephyr, with Gyaron being in a gray area on where they stand.
A few days pass as you make it to Ios.
You meet Ivan and Moira gives up Vultara for the injury of Sparrow. Crag and Moriarty arrest her.
You discuss the black key and the steel room. Ivan allows you in but wont risk being eaten by Mortimer's pet hydra Parsellax.
You use the oily raw chicken to distract the beast. The are two abnormally large chicken legs that are possibly Vultara’s.
You were able to rally the troops and get many Stormbloods to join forces with the rebel Maximus who was already brandishing the nickname of the Ocean Prince from his fellow revolutionaries. As you fought inside the tomb, Max was leading his newly formed Pacuran Royal Navy against Borigan and Thormund's Fleet of the Stormblood.
You won the day although one of your friends betrayed you in the end and stole the phylactery.
You killed Claire and listened as a loud shrieking roar came from outside.
You make your way outside the tomb to the bright light of the Pacuran sun beaming orange light upon the salty ground. On the shore are bodies and driftwood from the carnage of the battle that took place while you fought inside. Max's ship could be seen in the center of many allies you had made along the way.
Quinn learned about her father's deeds. She still hated him for killing her mom but decided to ask Max to pardon him of all crimes and keep his grave in the tomb of kings.
Max almost lost the war after the Kraken's hull was pierced and the Golden Fleece was in disarray as Quinn was captured.
As the Onyx Stallion came in to ram the Howling Porpoise as large creature came out of the deeps. This was a sea dragon, massive in size. Dragons were a rarity in Galfin. Max turned his ship around and charged the stallion as the dragon leaped overtop of the ship. Many saw this a true sign that Max was destined to be the ocean king as this creature seemingly attacked his targets.
The Typhon men abandoned ship as Quinn leapt from Thormund’s ship over to Max's. She jumped again to Iggy driving her ship. He cut her loose as she chased after the S.S. Tempest. The Moonbreaker and Bone Rattler had turned and ran as the allies circled the large galleon. Borigan and Pathos jumped to the Rosebud, one of the fastest ships as the tempest sunk under the water. They escaped towards the mainland.
The battle settled as Max, Ivan, Cortez and Valda returned to the island of Hydri where Sossari, Triss, Arygos and Joseph walk out of the tomb. The suns shines as everyone gathers on Hydri for the coronation of Maximus the Ocean King.
Ivan lays Parsellax to rest. He was killed by Borigan
Your old friend Mako was aboard the Howling Porpoise, captained by the ocean prince Maximus. Mother Maggie the innkeeper was walking around mending the wounds of the injured wayfarers.
Ivan and his family, as well as Merdock and the crew fought together on the Kraken. Along the starboard side of the large galleon, you could see a large hole punctured in the side of the ship with green acid pouring from the hull. This room was formerly home to the Venom Maw Hydra who was Morty's pet. Parsellax died in battle against Lord Borigan after the Zephyrn stormblood retreated from the fight for the phylactery.
A red painted Drakaar (viking longship) bearing the emblem of a hammer forging handcuffs sailed next to the Kraken, dwarfed by its size but filled with just as many warriors. Valda led the Wardens and Stewards of Gyaron on board her late husband's ship the Red Dagger. The last she saw of her two boys Itchee and Tumble was when Lord Borigan ordered Pyrus to take them away. The boys were not in sight aboard any of the ships. Captain Gorbashav could be seen on this ship with a harpoon through his shoulder.
Iggy the Delicious Iguana Jam salesman came out of retirement to be the second mate on the Golden Fleece, this was Quinn's ship. As the ships returned to the Hydri port, Iggy was steering Quinn's ship. Lady Winella of Kinaros could also seen aboard this ship.
A ship you recognized as the Tortuga also sailed for the Pacuran Royal Navy. Although the ship was now covered in fungus as Cortez rallied his myconid minions from Fishrot Hollow to become his crew. Also on board was his wife Nocturna and oddly enough DIckard, the goblin whom Henri forced to do combat to become a member of the Gobsnapper. He was last seen jailed on Kyra so how he ended up with a spore growing on his shoulder and mindlessly following his sovereign Cortez' orders is beyond you.
During your battle, Quinn was captured by Claire and sent back to Thormund's ship, somehow Quinn was able to not only escape her confinements but took over the Onyx Stallion, Thormund's father's ship that he commandeered after the party stole and crashed his brig known as the Blackfly. Thormund could be seen in handcuffs next to Quinn. All of his main recruits were killed by the party in the tomb. Dimitri the priest, Fimbulwinter the winter werewolf and Claire the captain of the goldguard. He also lost the serial killer Dex.
The S. S. Tempest could been seen in the distance with a hole the size of an elephant carved through it's hull, the legendary ship was sinking to the bottom of the Arid Sea with steam coming from the wood. Lord Borigan was nowhere to be seen. In the vast distance you could see 3 ships sailing away. A large purple ship known the the Moonbreaker sailed towards the volcanic mountains of the Firefang Jags, the towering mountain range could be seen silhouetted above the clouds even on the island nation of Pacura. Jericho captained this ship with his rejuvenated Triade of the Fallen Night, Moasis was last seen in the clutches of Jericho. The bone decorated ship known as the Bone Rattler sailed East towards the distant nation of Hearthen, Itchee and Tumble were last seen with Pyrus. Finally the Rosebud, the ship once owned by Olivier before you murdered him by suffocation inside a bag of holding. This ship was captained by Davos, the Merelf fighting alongside Borigan and Pathos. The rosegold ship sailed towards the Caluan Desert province on the mainland.
As the ships sail in, Quinn congratulates you on preventing Thormund and Borigan from obtaining the power of the phylactery. She questions you on where it is. She says that she hates her father for leaving but mostly for choosing to kill her mother Kindra. She says she will tell Maximus what happened and have the history of Henri Sallya corrected across the history books.
Mako comes to talk to you about the battle. When all seemed lost, an ocean dragon leapt from the water and followed Max's lead. This confirmed to many onlookers that he was meant to unite the island nation. He speaks frank for a moment and confesses that in the moment Max was just as confused as anyone. Dragons of all types are a rarity within Galfin, most lay dormant and send their minions to do their bidding. He doesnt know why but that random dragon turned the tide of the battle.
It scared the blackguard off of Thormund's ship which allowed Condor, Ivan's oldest son to swing across and free Quinn. Just as her mother did 30 years before, the Stormblood of Kyra faced against Thormund on the greatest sea battle in recorded history. She took his ship and captured the tyrant. At least his son will have a mother to raise him, Claire is a fierce fighter but also a loving woman.
Arygos reveals that Claire died fighting for the phylactery.
Borigan jumped from ship as the ocean dragon blasted a cone of scalding water at his galleon, destroying it in one blow. This was crucial as the Kraken had suffered a major blow with the loss of Parsellax.
This battle is being dubbed as the Rising Tempest, as this will be the first time since Oceanus Tempest himself gave equal birthright to his 10 children that there will be an undisputed leader of the seas.
A coronation was held on Hydri, the first home of Oceanus and where the King's Tomb is located. All the remaining Stormbloods gathered to bless the rise of a new Ocean King.
Diggory of Eidon, as well as his only son were killed by Eelisma and Thormund. A few remaining citizens that lived through the hellfire as well as some of the mudguards arrived to bear witness. Miles the Mudman could be seen behind the crowd selling mud pies.
Quinn of Kyra, assisted on her casted leg by Condor. She was wounded by the powerful Lord Thormund in the Battle of the Rising Tempest.
Maximus of Hydri, wearing the ancient ceremonial armor of his ancestor. Next to his wife and child, Kricia and Illia. The soon to be crowned Ocean King.
Kricia of Milos, is soon to be crowned the Ocean Queen so her younger sister Krysta becomes the new Stormblood. Krysta stood next to her older sister in awe of what had happened in a few short months.
Ivan of Ios, Stormblood with his mainland wife Raven and their family. They had workers carefully lay Parsellax to rest on the hills of Hydri. Cortez was next to his old captain Ivan and being uncharacteristically quiet.
Winella of Kinaros, accompanied by her granddaughter Winni. Both looked elegant as they represented two different generations of rulers of Pacura. Brunhild of Gyaron, holding the hand of her battle weary mother Valda. Brunhild is the oldest daughter of Tayne, she is clearly distraught as she holds her tears in check over her missing brothers and dead father.
Eelisma of Basilika, killed by Henri Sallya is without an heir. Maximus will decide what to do with this island now that the war is over. Rumours are of a shrine honoring Sootha, something that should have been on all the islands as she was all the stormblood's great ancestor.
Therakles of Typhon, a young 3 year old bears a heavy weight as he can see his father chained up for his crimes. He is quietly crying out for his mother. A caretaker holds his hand and comforts the boy.
Borigan of Zephyr, escaped aboard the Rosebud towards the mainland, no living heir to dispute Maximus' claim.
The Stormbloods walks up except Winella, she quietly passes the mantle of leader onto her 20 year old grandaughter, Winny. Winella places the blue flag into her heir's hand then the old woman places her hand on top of Winy's to close it gently.
Each Stormblood brings their blue flag of parlay and places it at their king's feet, giving their loyalty to follow him as one nation. Each of the 6 remaining Stormbloods: Quinn, Winny, Krysta, Brunhild, and Therakles hold their blues flags emblazoned with the symbol of their individual nation.
Conch shells blare as the new king is sworn in. Azalea, Iggy's wife from Kyra, is the designated keeper of the kings armor as well as his weapon. Her family has kept these treasures safe for generations. She gave him the armor when it was clear that his claim would not be contested by the overwhelming amount of stormbloods you helped gather on his side.
As the conch songs settled, she approached him with a dark silver trident that had rosegold tips atop its spikes. She gifted him the Imperious Trident, a weapon his ancestor used to free the ancient men from oppression. He carefully takes it from the citizen of his nation and closes his eyes. He lifts the trident up as the new Ocean King.
"All Pacurans are whole once more, for the first time in 10 generations our people unite under one Pacuran banner. Any who seek to seperate us will feel the wrath of the sea itself.
I wear this armor to show I am here to defend my country. This trident is meant to show my power over the ones I rule. I am not Thormund, Borigan, Branahan or Thresh. You the people are my power for I would not be here without you. I promise to use the power you have given me to allow Pacura a seat in the hall of kings where we will receive our fair share within the High King's quarters. You the people are why I stand before you now. This weapon is a sacred piece of our history and I accept this gift". Maximus looks to Therakles, he then looks to his cousin Thormund.
"You are charged with treason against your king and against your people, with the power given to me by my blood, the justice distributed to me through the 6 kings of Galfin, the heart you stole from the people of Eidon and the duty passed down through our great ancestor, I sentence you to death."
Maximus stabs thormund through the chest. Three puncture wounds easily cut through Thormund's black and gold armor. Max picks up the blue flags of parlay, wipes the blood from his trident with the flag bearing the Typhon logo and hands it down to Therakles. Max leans down to the boy and says "In the name of Pacura, I grant you permission to live. For boys are not guilty of their fathers mistakes."
Thormund lay on the ground spitting up blood. Maximus looked to Ivan, who hated Thormund, Maximus nodded as Ivan took out his cutlass and decapitated Thormund.
Killed Lord Thormund.
He then walks around the circle and gives the flags back to their respective Stormbloods.
The ceremony wraps up as Max makes his way over to the party.
"My war is finished but i fear your's is not. I cannot thank you enough for the assistance you have given the people of Pacura. I hearby honor you by declaring you Heroes of the Rising Tempest. You are now honorary citizens of Pacara. If you ever need to sail and a Pacuran is aboard that ship, they will give you free passage to anywhere in the world you would like to go. I also task you with one more bounty, if you see Borigan as he runs from my wrath, if you capture him, I will pay you out 2000 gp each. As I said, my fight may be over but you four breed trouble. I hereby gift you the Imperius Trident as a thank you for what you have done for us. I'm sending the remaining mudguard back with you to Eidon, Mako will be waiting there for you, we have something special for you to see".
Before you set sail from Hydri, the remaining stormbloods catch up to you at the Gobsnapper, which Izil, Skalden, Franny and Stefan has sailed here from Ios after you guys teleported away.
Each one of them thanks you for your heroic actions
