JENDI looks at Rubee for a beat or two silently. Then he leans forward, arms resting on the tabletop, face serious. "As your great-nephew no doubt has mentioned, I have traveled your son's bateau mouche, Serenity, a few times, down to Blackstone. The first time was because it was all I could...

Mylistra is glad that she heeded Nemo's suggestion to forgo any finery, as she sits in the basement of the dockside pub. Ravenswood's atmosphere is generally a bit smoky - due to their industrious manufactories - and she always feel as if she cannot breathe fluidly while in town. But here...

Nemo struggles to keep up with his companions, while also remaining as inconspicuous as possible while within the environs of Ravenswood. There are the occasional sneer and (happily badly) aimed kick, but walking in the company of such a tall and beautiful pair as the elegant dark skinned human...

Nemo swallows hastily and wipes his hands on his breeches. In truth, he already ate about a dozen of the tasty critters and is full. Thinking quickly of ways his mother would distract his youngest sister when she was suffering from stomach ailments ... which sadly poor little Myrtle often was...

Keeping her eye trained on the tiny drake, Toriq calls out quietly to the halfling. "NEMO. Don't come closer to me, but can you see what I'm looking at?" At his assent, she continues: "in a minute, I'm going to get up and walk toward it slowly. My action shouldn't frighten it precisely: just...

MYLISTRA looks up from pulling out some foodstuffs from her satchel, a wrapped packet of Juniper's squirrel jerky in her hand. Her attention has been drawn by the nearby sounds of frantic searching, and she witnesses Toriq rifling through her own satchel and muttering to herself. Next to her are...

Pulling his cloak over the top of his head, Jendi says sullenly, "I guess we have no choice but to head back inside." Then he turns around to do exactly that. TORIQ ignores his tone but agrees with his words. Grasping his arm as he tries to thrust past her, she gestures at some of the less...

Here are the characters, leveled up: JENDI MYLISTRA NEMO TORIQ Nemo stares up at the night sky listening only vaguely to the desultory bits of conversations going on periodically between the others as they sit around the small fire and sip the tisane Myslistra has made for them. The...

Mylistra and JENDI look through Gulthias's Blood Book of the Goat-Horn together and find an appropriate ritual for casting out what Gulthias put into the soil. Mylistra sucks in a breath as she realizes what the ritual costs: this is a hungry book. She starts to explain to Jendi what the cost...

MYLISTRA hopes that the shaking in her knees is not revealed as she quickly steps over to the siblings to intercede. She grasps Jendi's staff and stares into his eyes - almost gasping as she sees the swirling shadows that Toriq saw moments ago. But unlike the warden, the witch perceives that...

Her mind still distracted by what she just saw in Jendi's eyes and heard from his lips, TORIQ looks up suddenly to see one of the winged statues grab her brother. Her protective older sister instincts kick in, as usual, and she leaps to assist her brother in freeing himself. However, as she...

As the group approaches the steps to Gulthias's bed of defiled earth, Jendi cries out and doubles over, as if in excruciating pain. Nemo and Mylistra turn towards him, concern on their faces, and Toriq rushes back down to her little brother, cowering on the floor. As she touches his shoulder...

This time NEMO knows he can help: he races over to the nearest column and comes to a sliding halt on his knees next to it. He immediately begins to gingerly press stones, try to twist them, probe and poke cracks, until he feels it - the weakness in the arrangement. Looking up, he sees Jendi...

Thinking about the abject body of Abaddon on that altar beyond them and witnessing the attempt to transform their blood into a weapon against their liberators, TORIQ strides toward the still lingering streams of coagulated blood. She kneels down next to the one closest to her and - cutting a...

Although Nemo's companions are a little behind his impetuous actions, JENDI is able to bring control to the chaos, in an ironic turn of events. The young warlock steps protectively in front of his small friend and begins to raise his hands in a now familiar move that the others have begun to...

NEMO looks over at the plate armor and reacts quickly - if a bit disastrously. Perhaps the halfling is relieved at their having vanquished Gulthias, perhaps he expects to repeat his earlier abnegation of Orcus. He turns to fully face the animated armor and throws out a hand as if to signal...

As the others are resting to recover from the battle with Gulthias - and as Jendi cleans and examines closely his new prize, Mylistra walks about the crypt, taking in the dark energy, and examines the walls, columns, floor, etc. There is still a strong sense of the profane here near the altar of...

Bookkeeping: Hit Points * Surges * current XPs & progress to L2: Jendi: 23/26 hit points (no healing needed during short rest) * 2/8 Surges remaining * 940/1000 XPs Mylistra: 21/24 hit points (no healing needed during short rest) * 2/7 Surges remaining * 940/1000 XPs Nemo: 24/24 hit points (1...

As they all take a moment to catch their collective breath and to bind any lingering wounds, NEMO is still in shock about the Raven Queen's gift to him. Abaddon had certainly had their eye on Jendi throughout their conversation - in fact, even now, he is watching the warlock very closely - and...

The four companions sit on the stone bridge to regroup and refresh. Nemo chews on some jerky Toriq passed out to them all, watching Jendi pick through tiny felldrake carcasses for anything useful, interesting, possibly valuable. "My Uncle Milo pays good coin for teeth from those things...
