Pathos
One of the rare Dragonkin race in Galfin
Dragonkin eggs are taken when they are formed in lava and bought by military forces in an auciton style sale.
People do this because they know dragonkin are powerful warriors.
Lord Branahan of Zephyr purchased Pathos as an egg and had him trained for years to become the personal bodyguard of his son Borigan.
You awaken in the morning to find out the Lord Borigan has began an occupation of Gyaron. Claiming that Tayne must release Borigan's fiancee from the Pit or face his wrath.
Borigan is dressed in a sailor lieutenant uniform. He has two distinct bodyguards at his side. A slim silver armored Triton brandishing a khopesh as well as a large black armored gall guard covered head to toe in armor. The large brute carried a kinalite war hammer.
Lord Borigan is in a tense shouting match with Tayne about the jailing of Borigan's fiancee Olivier.
Tayne will not relent and Moira tells him they killed Olivier.
Borigan has Davos, Pathos and Pyrus as bodyguards. Pyrus holds Itchee and Tumble hostage. Tayne throws he body of Olivier in front of Borigan and the tyrannical leader is unphased.
Borigan stabs Tayne in the leg with his ice rapier and a fight ensues.
Sossori tries to gust the attackers away as the crews breaks for the Gobsnapper. Tayne with a leg injury cannot hold his ground but Pathos can.
Davos casts a water wall and covers Pathos. He removes his helmet to reveal a black dragonborn with blue tendrils coming out of the spaces in his scales.
Pathos has electricity flow from his body to his kinalite warhammer as he bring it down on Tayne's lower half. Shattering the ice covering his leg and stomach.
Valda rushes in but can't get passed the water wall, Arygos bursts through it to attack Pathos.
Pyrus leaves on the Bone Rattler as Davos takes command of the Rosebud. Borigan helms his galleon as his cannoneers and mortars fire upon the people of Gyaron.
Dex takes the moment to betray Claire and stab her in the back. He declares he is the son of captain Mortimer and is here to complete his father's mission.
The dirt bubble drops as the magic girls disintegrate the priest Dimitri. Borigan and Pathos arrive to see the devastation from the artifact.
Sossari thunder shocks Arygos’ axe as he kills Fimbulwinter, absorbing some of his soul into the axe.
Joseph orders the goldguards back to the ship, as the highest ranking member of Thormund's army they must obey even though he killed their captain. They leave.
Arygos falls to a blackguard as Sossari attacks and misfires, hitting the dying Arygos, tried and Joseph team up on Claire who is injured and furious with Dex.
Dex runs behind the statue and breaks a small gem on the back of the statue, this item was what was causing the magic block.
Triss and Moira turn to the Zephyrn stormblood and his bodyguard. Now both can enter the tomb and use magic.
Sossari runs to get in the way as the blackguard swings at arygos again. As she does this she feels an energy flow through as small buds bloom into leaves at her shoulder part of her wings. This slight transformation distracts the guard as a whip chain dagger carves through the attackers sternum. Joseph walks out from behind the Oceanus statue and pulls his dagger blade back.
Moira waits for the phylactery to recharge as Borigan accepts they don't have control of this situation. Pathos now commands the retreating gold guards to stand against the party.
Borigan and Pathos leave as the final two goldguards are fighting. They are quickly handled now that the party can use magic again.
Session 0 - 5E, 211th year. 1st day of Firstfrost.
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.
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.
He reveals there is a young black dragon and a black dragonborn located within the factory.
Aero scouts out the walls to reveal there are no guards along the wall. 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.
Arygos walks out and declares they are going to kill the kingfishers.
He breathes electricity as his kinalite hammer charges up and his boots glow lightning blue.
Find Pathos dying. Grai says he doesn't stand a chance. Recommends leaving Arygos to talk with his brother until he dies. Pathos refuses to die, giving Arygos the chance to kill him out of mercy.
Gives a neckalce to Arygos that belonged to their mother, it is an emblem of the Merkaynian Enclave.
The Red Heron used the dragonlance. The tips is the black crystal and inflicted wounds he cannot heal from.
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.
