Quest Summary

• Living in your WALLS pt1: Beep gathered Luna, Eubank, and Jodah to meet the one who promised him power, and in a swamp near their destination faced and defeated Melok the Werewolf Lord. They made it to the mansion Beep had forsaw and made a deal sealed in blood with Ravnos for promised power gains.
• Living in your WALLS pt2 & pt3: Beep, Luna, Eubank, and Jodah sought out and soon found the hive mounds like beep was originally expelled from as defective, and were "disturbing" Ravnos with all the telepathic hiver communications incessantly intruding on his tranquil dominion: they were to relocate these hivers, and would gain power in doing so. The party pixie dusted themselves to enter the six hundred foot mound, and cleared four levels of hivers; -- Beep traumatized each time one was killed instead of knocked out -- culminating with the hiver general and his lieutenants: as the hiver general Klaktuk was nearly felled, Ravnos's pact with the adventures fell upon them, with only Eubank resisting, and they flew on Klaktuk fangs wide and bit deep and drank him down gaining his power -- to which the other lieutenants quickly fell and the queen relented to relocating the hive; granting Beep authority to take with him the hive's other "defects".
• Barbaros's desperate search to fight Boredom Pt 1 & 2: Barbaros found Arabella, Alshu, and Yandall at the Everthonking Tavern; told them that he had a vision and telepathic message to travel across the Pangea to a mansion and meet him to counter his boredom with a promise of adventure that would be a benefit to them both - the others quickly signed on and they set out making the perilous journey to the dark swamp filled mountainous zone, where they faced Melok: Arabella taming him in the end, and after the hazing from the undead protectors, storming by them, they had a rough introduction with the conclave (Arabella making quite the scene). Insofar as, Ravnos, himself, came forth and being quite charming (as he is) set the party at ease and they had a meeting to discuss the nuisance that Ravnos was having and the excitement that Barbaros would have in going to quell this incursion happing here by the ominous prescence: during the discussion (Arabella not joining, but staying outside, however enjoying Ravnos's charms) Ravnos convinced Yandall he was not up to this task and the others quickly agreed and he left back to Jaytown; therefore the next morning in his place Strix of the conclave took Yandall's place, they went to the mines and started infiltrating (Arabella not trusting Stix but and Alshu with Barbaros and the party almost splitting, but Strix being very charming and smoothing things over with Arabella in the end) this liar: facing a few minor challenges as of yet, and in the end staring down into a deep pit -- not knowing what horrors await bellow


• Barbaros's desperate search to fight Boredom Pt 3 & 4: As they descended; it was clear they were entering a horror the walls were as flesh, and Barbaros had been getting headaches since being here: then an acid trap, and Alhsu's death warding powers spared her from scumming to the strength stealing of a swarm of shadows that sought to devour her -- nonetheless, Arebella messing with brutes in the bottom of a deep pit and to trying to save a pet wolf with the source of the evil before them split the party up and they withdrew separately as two of her pack of four wolves were devoured below.. Barbaros was a bit disappointed he did not get to kill the thing giving him a headache, Strix went back to Ravnos and the Jaytowners went home.
