Comings and Goings
General Summary
It was another morning at Beyonder's Blades and this morning had the smell of adventure to it! Breaker was very happy to have the correct head and body once again while Mo slept in a bit. Dante busied himself in his large house while Dariyana awoke at the inn and went down for breakfast. Cassandra was feeling much better and delightedly informed Tidran about her progress. Sirkel was out of town hunting down a rumor about a cypher which produced an endless supply of cake. Farren and her mother excitedly continued to catch up after years of being apart!
After a while, most of the group found themselves at or near the inn. The message board contained several pleas for help some of which interested the group. Mo, Tidran, Dariyana and Farren were intrigued about an eviction argument between Surry and Eustace. Farren, Cassandra, and Breaker decided to look into the request for Hontri eggs posted by Ravi(character). After a bit of chit-chat about their recent adventures, Mo, Tidran, and Farren set out to see about the eviction.
As they were about to leave, a new adventurer named Aika arrived in town! She was a scarred warrior who was a bit shy but she joined the group around the message board to see the postings. Dante introduced himself and overall the group welcomed the glaive to Beyonder's Blades.
No sooner had Aika finished introducing herself when a colorful wagon came floating into town! On it sat a young boy, David alongside a Cave Qui which hung upside down besides him. The boy saw the group assembled outside the inn and hopped down from his wagon. He smiled and approached the group with a handful of brightly colored flyers. David explained that a fair was coming to Beyonder's Blades next week! He asked the group to prepare a place for the fair, handed out a bunch of flyers and then continued on his way.
The group discussed the fair for a bit, Breaker and Tidran were suspicious of it while Cassandra was excited about the tournament mentioned on the flyers. After some discussion, the groups turned to their business for the day.
Mo, Tidran, Dariyana, and Farren heard an argument down the street and walked in that direction. They saw Toby arguing with a couple other men. Toby was visibly frustrated and told both men to settle their argument or risk being jailed. Toby then stalked off towards the inn no doubt intending to get a drink to calm down a bit. The party approached the other two men and inquired about their argument.
One of the men turned to the group as they approached; he was dressed in expensive clothing and had a pompous air about him. His name was Surry and he explained that he was a merchant who had been given a desirable tract of land when the settlement was first founded. He had then left the settlement and the land and had just returned to find Eustace squatting on his property. Surry haughtily demanded that Eustace be removed and strutted off to the inn.
Next, the party questioned Eustace. He was a disheveled man living in a squalid and ramshackle hut which barely managed to remain upright. Eustace explained that he used to work as an Aneen tender but lost his job due to alcohol abuse. He had been living at Beyonder's Blades for a long time and had built the run-down hut to live in.
The adventures decided to question Toby as to who had the valid claim to the land. They went back to the inn and found Toby quaffing a drink which Kae had served. Toby explained that Surry was given the property but immediately left and had never done anything with it and that Eustace had been living there for quite some time. After some discussion, Mo suggested they offer Eustace a job as the innkeeper in exchange for letting him live at the inn.
The group returned to Eustace with their offer. After some discussion, Eustace agreed to a one week trial as innkeeper and relinquished the land. Surry was grateful and paid the group for their efforts. Tidran however warned Surry to either make use of the property or cede it back to the town for a profitable use. Surry blustered about his importance but was a bit shaken by the intensity of the Arkus. Surry then left Beyonder's Blades promising to find some profitable use for the land.
Meanwhile, Cassandra, Breaker and Dante joined with Aika to inquire about the Hontri eggs. They found Tarral enjoying breakfast in his room. Tarral explained that the Hontri eggs were to be found in a certain spot at the nearby World Ship Cliffs. He was a bit vague when pressed about possible dangers, but did recommend they bring a few more people. The group split up for a while to acquire some ammunition and other necessities. After their shopping trip, they met with Tidran, Mo, Dariyana and Farren who had just finished with Eustace. Both parties agreed to help with the hunt for the eggs.
The entire party set out for the world ship cliffs, and after following Tarral for several hours they arrived. Tarral professed to be terrible at climbing and so he remained at the bottom after pointing out the hontri nesting site. The group pulled out ropes from their packs (while Mo merely floated up) and with some effort they all managed to scale the cliffs. At the top, an icy wind pierced through their clothes and everyone shivered as it sucked the warmth from their bodies. Fortunately, they all had heavy clothes in their explorers packs which they used to protect against the frigid temperatures.
The group soon found the nest, and they each took an egg. Suddenly a shriek was heard above the wind and the mother hontri swooped in to protect her nest! The party drew their weapons and the fight was on! Mo went invisible and managed to ride astride the hontri's back! Dante was caught by the beast's talons and was carried up into the air! After several rounds and much effort expended, the party killed the enormous predator!
Mo pulled out 3 bundles of synth-steel feathers while everyone cut off one of the foot long claws. Cassandra extracted a vial of the black nanite-laden blood from the beast. Finally, the party descended the cliff where Tarral awaited and paid them handsomely for the eggs. The party then returned to Beyonder's Blades. Cassandra brought the vial of blood to Gwydion who was able to make it into a powerful healing potion. Farren also went to Gwydion's workshop where she spoke via hologram with Vizeem about her success in bringing her mother back.
Farren tried using her dimensional mirror connect with her father, but the mirror sparked and wouldn't open a portal. Vizeem suggested the dimension her father was in was providing too much energy feedback and suggested she find a fluxacitor to deal with the excess energy. Vizeem explained they could either buy one at likely a high cost or find a Silver Orphan to make one, or extract one from an Astraphin Monolith. Farren decided to try and find a Silver Orphan, and the rest of the group rested from their taxing adventures.
