Episode 0: "Old Sooty"
Played on EncounterRolePlay, 1:00 PM EST, Saturday, November 26, 2016, video lost

This episode was essentially a pilot episode. It was intended to be the beginning of the campaign, which was originally planned to be an eight episode arc on EncounterRolePlay, with the party already together in Sojourn's Crossing. The start of the full campaign was scheduled to start in January 2017. This episode was eventually integrated into the main campaign towards the end of Episode 16: "Once Upon A Rainy Weekend".

Episode Notes:

In Sojourn's Crossing, Axle, Luck, Silya, and Talarien are hired at the local inn The Cloak and Fireball by Agatha, the "Alehouse Drake," an older female drake who is a fixture at the inn and who has her fingers in many different pies. She asks the party to find a friend of hers, another drake named Old Sooty, who has disappeared. The party combs the town in the rain for clues and eventually manages to accumulate enough information to lead them to find and rescue Old Sooty. During this process, they have several magical mishaps, including the shrinking of Axle and the finding of a bag of magical rings, which they decide to keep.

Episode 1: "Beginnings!"
Played on https://www.twitch.tv/tallsquall, 12:00 PM EST, Saturday, December 10, 2016

After the pilot session on EncounterRolePlay, the players were excited to begin, and so it was decided to run two filler sessions as flashbacks with the available players to show how the party met and came together prior to reaching Sojourn's Crossing before the official start of the campaign in January. In that time, Tunarth, who wasn't fully happy with playing Talarien, made a decision to switch characters and play a druid instead. Everyone enjoyed the the flashback episodes so much that after some discussion they became the actual campaign.

Episode Notes :

Axle, Iska, and Luck discussed their shared knowledge of the “netherwings,” dragons that emerged from a portal nearly a hundred years prior. These dragons attacked and consumed anything in the sky above the treeline: birds, airships, etc. Invisible to the eye, the appearance of these dragons has kept the world “grounded” for years. Returning to the Cloak & Fireball, Luna checked on Gandry’s rehabilitation and planned more training with Rennart.

Silya spoke at length with Florian Gilderloin, attempting to gain access for her friends into the party. Though speaking with him for anytime proved annoying and offensive, she was able to convince Florian to let Luna and Luck take part.

Having made a promise to his mother to never soar into the clouds himself, Kel spoke with Balsherion at great length about the new “kings of the sky.”

Luna and Silya visit a tailor and prepare themselves for the party, Silya requesting an extra pocket for her dagger.

Episode Notes:

Iska, Luck, and Axle convince the whisky gremlin to “prank” Arcana Mystica by spying on them and letting the group listen in. Silya and Luna spar with one another, afterwards asking if she could embellish Silya’s appearance in her water art in order to impress Florian, getting her blessing.

The next day, Iska and Kel rejoin Balsherian to continue his preparations. With fresh game delivered by Kel, Balsherian is quickly a bloody mess, needing prompt cleaning and giving Iska an excuse to purchase fancier party clothes. Axle, Luck, Silya, and Luna head to Uil’s blacksmith shop, as Axle looks for a new weapon. He purchases a handaxe and picks up some more throwing darts and learns more in the way of Uil’s magical crafting. Following the blacksmith the group sells their gems after having them identified.

The group splits up: Axle and Luck try to outdo each other’s tastebuds at a Gnoblin’s, a spicy noodle shop. After taking care of Balsherian, Iska joins Silya and Luna at Phonecia’s, a clothing shop, to be outfitted for the party, where Luna acquires a mystical decorate headpiece allowing her to bend her hair like water.

Kel speaks with Balsheerion about freeing him someday, and Balsherian explains he does not want to be free of his master, Florian. Kel says he can seek a magical way to break the bond, but the gryphon does not want the bond broken. What he wants back is the sky. Should Kel find a means, Balsherian tasks him to someday bring the sky back to the realm.

The next morning the group prepares for the party. Axle dresses the whisky gremlin up with some accessories to make him “fancier” for the party. After causing him to fall on his morning stairs slide, Luna and Luck head towards Harold’s “guy” for some relaxation. They meet a massive, cigar-smoking man of a race they’ve never encountered who beckons them inside. After one of the roughest massage sessions of all time, Luna so in tune with her body that she knows she can shake off any exhaustion for the next week. Luck goes through the same harrowing process, feeling better than before.

Luck and Iska head to the Arcana Mystica compound with Balsherian. Iska joins the rank as Luck reports to Lady Kalista Orias of the Battlemages, a dragonborn herald. He learns his orders of keeping the parade members safe and citizens off the street.

As Florian Gilderloin arrives, the procession begins and they group makes their way through town until they arrive at the Gilderloin manor. Lord Divine Athalian Sinterion; Varalia Sinterion; Zanjalel Gembiez. Machine can’t function while the sun is up, charging under the full moon. Stone Anvil Contingent.

Invitations just like the one Iska discovered are being placed into a mystical machine meant to activate them. Iska asks Silya to slip hers in. Silya approaches the machine, offers to get drinks with the man nearby turning him into a “stumbly fumbly boy,” allowing her to sneak the invitation in without detection.

With a rune placed onto the whisky gremlin, Axle overhears discussion in the silenced dinner circle of the Arcana Mystica:

-The Tieflings are bringing a contingent to the meeting. Hawk’s Landing (the human castle in the capitol Falconcrest) has allowed it, the Viceroy is allowing them to clear their name with supposed “new evidence.”

-Archmistress Delgaranor has told AM to basically slander the Tiefling name and remind the world of what “they did to it,” trying to sabotage their efforts with a PR campaign.

-Children of the Loss are a dying race and unable to reproduce.

-The Indigo Seed, somehow involved, and now Children of the Loss being slandered as well.

Kel sits with Balsherian in the rain outside the stables, removing the pageantry placed on him. The two sit, listening to the thunder, speaking of the past. Balsherian reveals that Florian’s family is the one who enlightened the gryphons, enlisting them to the sky mages before the Grounding. Florian thought he could change AM from the inside but quickly learned his power was extremely limited, breaking him down. Kel ponders what kind of mission Florian could be given that would awaken the spirit that was once inside him.

Episode Notes:

As Iska makes her way across town to retrieve Kel, she runs into a well-dressed gentleman who approaches her. She immediately recognizes him as soon as light hits his face: Ba’tee, the creator of the clockwork hounds. Iska prepares to defend herself when suddenly Ba’tee apologizes for the trouble the hounds caused. They were merely vessels to house the souls of animals for a new life, but a recent surge of magic (possibly the Vice surge triggered by Axle) caused their demonic possession. As an apology for the troubles they have caused, Ba’tee offers Iska’s contract with Barios as a gift. He’s purchased it and alleviated her of her services to the caravan. Shaken, she accepts the contract and warns Ba’tee that she would put down down any creatures like the hounds and Ba’tee himself should be build them once again.

Back at the Cloak and Fireball, Luck rouses a crowd with the story of his scars. When the group reconvenes, Axle explains what he learned while spying on the meeting of the Arcana Mystica.

Luna, devastated and angered from learning that her race wil not persist in this world, heads upstairs to speak with the other children of the loss, Gandry, Sky, and Rennert. She explains how the tieflings are going to attempt to clear their name after a generation of being blamed for the troubles of the world. She blames the tieflings for what has happened and makes a pact with her fellow Genasi to not allow them to change their story. As she leaves the room, she notices Silya in the hall and realizes she’s been eavesdropping. Silya promises to protect her, no matter what.

Iska explains what had happened with Ba’tee and her contract and why she seems so out of it. Drunkenly, Luck takes to the streets shouting his name, hoping to fight him and truly unleash “justice.” Kel and Axle join Iska as she leads Luck in the opposite direction of where Ba’tee was heading, hoping to avoid conflict. On their travels, Axle points out the same noodle shop he visited the day before, and the group enters hoping to get Luck food to sober up. While they sit and chat, Iska tells the story of Kalista talking down Florian and how humourous she thought it was to imagine him being busted back down to an underling of the battlemages.

Kel doesn’t find this as funny as Iska had imagined, explaining the conversation he had with Balsherion on how complicated Florian is, that he needs to get out of Sojourn’s Crossing and feel closer to that which he was born to be: a warrior. Axle tells a story from his past, of his attack on bandits to avenge his slain family, and how Grom chastised him for acting out of anger, out of selfish desire. Iska reconsiders and tells the group that Kalista, Battlemistress of the Mages, would assign Florian and Balsherion to guard duty if there were any issues in town. The group discusses finding a way to “demote” Florian and allow him time with Balsherion and out of Sojourn’s.

The groups return to their rooms for the evening, except for Luna who spends the evening out in the rain, crying until she passes out. In the morning, she trains with Rennart, though her form is sloppy and off. He notices and tries to offer sage words of advice: “take wing and soar above that which tries to hold you down.”

Kel forages early in the morning and brings a large buck into town for Balsherion to eat, who accepts it happily.

Axle speaks with Agatha about what he learned from Arcana Mystica. The Arcana Mystica were responsible for laying blame of the tieflings after the incident, but whispers say that may not be the case. The Indigo Seed, a band of tiefling druids, only came to light after “the fall,” the destruction of the tiefling capitol. They came forward to speak at a conclave but were accused by AM of horrible atrocities before they disappeared, Arcana Mystica explaining that they were “taken care of.” Arcana Mystica claimed the Indigo Seed was using blood magic,

An incident occurred where a whole village was ritualistically slaughtered, supposedly by the tieflings using infernal nature magic. Some claimed the Indigo Seed was trying to do good, but Arcana Mystica used their power to quell those voices and spread the story that the Tribe was responsible for the heinous crimes. Moss Hollow, the Indigo Tribe’s commune, was empty when armies went to arrest them for their supposed crimes. The Tribe seemed to have mysteriously vanished. When Agatha comments on the sad reality of the children of the loss, Luna leaves the table and goes to inform Sky of everything she has learned.

As Axle leaves the Cloak and Fireball, a wild-shaped Kel clambers up him in his otter form, clutches the tabaxi’s mane, and Axle takes off towards the tundra-elf blacksmith. Axle picks up his darts and hatchet being crafted, and he asks where another tabaxi may be in town. He sprints through the town, looking for a fellow tabaxi.

Episode Notes:

Agatha gifts Luna a trinket from an old friend: a necklace with swirling, blue orb radiating some magical essence, as a bit of an apology for pushing the conversation about the Children of the Loss ending as a species. The Periapt of Wound Closure, a wondrous healing item with the power to restore life to those who are grievously wounded. At that time, the rest of the party returns from checking on Old Sooty. While Luck and Silya appear no worse for wear, something has changed radically with Axle: he’s shrunk to a quarter of his former size. This size change is temporary.

Iska assists Luck in writing a letter back to his family. Through this process, it is revealed that Luck received a message about his son taking his former role in the village. He asks his wife to delay the process as long as possible, and that he’ll try to return when he can. Luck signs his name with his name with a heart and takes the letter to have it sent.

As Iska descends the steps of the Cloak and Fireball, Florian Gilderloin beckons her over. He mentions how her musical training is far more rustic than the musicians he typically hires, and that he needs that tone for a new song the Arcana Mystica wishes to commission. Apparently, AM wishes to tell the story of the Children of the Loss, to produce a song that will gain sympathies for them, and Iska is just the bard to do so. She is immediately conflicted, wanting to gain both gold and fame but not wanting to advance any plots of Arcana Mystica.

She discusses this proposal with the group, who are also a bit reticent, until Luna speaks up passionately. She firmly states that Iska should spread the story, consequences be damned. Iska eventually agrees to do so with Luna’s help.

The group discusses the reality of freeing both Balsherian and Florian from their lot in Sojourn’s Crossing. While disrupting the Dwarven invitations is suggested at first, Silya does not seem quite comfortable with deciding a man’s fate without his consent. She proposes that she could spar with the high-class elf, hoping to ignite the Battlemage skills that have laid dormant for many years.

When Florian arrives at the tavern to speak of the song, Silya, Luna, and Iska ask for a sparring session to see Luna’s skills in action and inspire the song. Silya asks that Florian not take it easy on her, and Florian agrees to do so. Immediately, he paralyzes Luna in place with a spell and launches devastating magical missiles at her, knocking her unconscious almost in seconds. Iska rushes to her aid, though Luna is saved by the pripyat. Silya questions Florian if his use of power has awakened anything inside him, but he attempts to dismiss as he walks off. She pursues him multiple times, trying to stir whatever thirst for adventure he once had but he rebuffs her time and time again. Frustrated, she implores him to speak with his gryphon as she leaves.

Axle and Luck move through the city streets, in search of knowledge. At first unbeknownst to him, Axle eventually realizes the paths they’ve been taking have revealed a specific pattern: a new rune. Though his mind is reeled by this knowledge, he discovers an empowered time rune. The tiny Axle daintily and the full-size Luck clumsily mount the roof of a building for a better view of Sojourn’s.

As Iska aids Luna to recover, a small boy rushes past them behind the Cloak and Fireball in a panic. He rushes in calling for Thorbin, and they follow wanting to learn more. Thorbin invites them in to hear the Allister, the boy, explains that Reginald, a wizard outside the city, was heard screaming and telling the boy to run. She sprinted to Sojourn’s in a panic. Luna prays to Cuthbert for assistance in finding balance. She feels a power overcome and heal her wounds and hears the words, “Your answer lies in a song.”

Kel attempts to break into Florian's home, but he is kept at bay by magical traps. Silya also makes her way to Florian's when she notices a mysterious figure seems to be eyeing the place. With a dash of the dust of disappearance, she hides herself and sneaks upon the figure before asking in their ear what they're looking at. The figure takes off, and though she keeps up for some time, Silya eventually loses the track.

Eventually, most of the group reunite and return to the tavern to learn more of the strange happenings outside of town. With Kel on the rooftop and Luna in her room, the rest of the group learn more of the situation at Reginald’s. To everyone’s shock, Allister explains that Reginald had been secretly harboring a tiefling for four years. The tiefling was using his magic to help grow crops and tend to the forest. Six months ago, the tiefling, Valturion, began acting more strange than usual, speaking at great length with Reginald in private and isolating himself in the basement.

Iska rushes to Luna’s room to explain the situation, who is only shaken back to full awareness at the mention of a tiefling. Luck rushes to the blacksmith and finds Kel, who becomes interested when he makes a possible connection to the strange traps for fey creatures he has found outside the city.

Once the group has reconvened, Axle channels a dragon rune to slow time around the party and allow them to travel quicker on their journey towards Reginald’s tower. Arriving at the tower, it seems the doors have been loosened from their hinges. Kel and Luna kick them open to reveal a strange growth of trees and branches, all colored indigo. The group makes a connection to the Indigo Seed, a band of druidic tieflings accused of using blood magic who disappeared, but are attacked by strange plant-like creatures and husk-like humanoids. These foes are cut down with the use of fire to negate their regenerative abilities, but before the party can celebrate a loud thud is heard coming from the basement below.

Episode Notes:

Axle looks into the tree and sees a horrific vision: sickly purple fungi growing on, into, and out of a man with a branch piercing his chest. As he watches this man decompose, the rest of the party attempts to get to him for comfort, but all are immeasurably slowed by some form of magic. They watch as the days pass by while they are frozen in place, as Axle feels his very skin decompose down to his skull. Iska hears the same opera play through her head that brought the prophetic vision that someone she knew would die. Eventually Axle breaks free from this, but feels magic drained from him and a dark mark on his soul. He has, however, learned the death rune.

Silya, Kel, and Luna move forward to investigate the strange noise from the basement, while Luck tends to the injured Grain and eventually tasks him with guarding the front door and alarming the group should anyone approach. The party begins to descend the steps to the basement when the darkness overwhelms them. Even those with darkvision are blinded by the shadows. Suddenly a trap sets off, and a solar flare catches Silya, Kel, and Luna.

At the foot of the steps, the party feels some sort of hindrance, dampening the magic within them. A large opening is revealed, with a bed, work table, and in the far corner two lit candles. Kel begins to sweep the room in his wolf form and finds the remnants of a recent meal, perhaps from only a few hours prior. Luck and Axle investigate the work table. They find multiple scrolls, one with a strange tree design which puzzles Axle, as well as a vial of black liquid with maggot-like worms swimming in it. One of the scrolls appears to be some sort of journal entry, but it is in a language unfamiliar to most of the group.

Silya approaches the group at the table and explains it is written in infernal. She translates what she can, pointing out mentions of the Indigo Seed, a betrayal, a reference to the destroyed tiefling capital Darixus, and the phrase “the seed is restless.” As the group venture further into the basement, an undecipherable voice enters their heads, Silya being the only one to understand it. It announces itself as the guardian of this place and warns the group to not come further. Through Silya’s translating, the group learns that this spirit serves a “master,” the one who lived in this bunker and had been given orders to defend this place. Long tasked by his master, it currently serves to guard the large tree that had taken root and grown through the floor upstairs.

Unbeknownst to the rest of the party, a voice enters into Kel’s mind speaking in druidic. It explains that the work here is vital to correct the currents. When Kel questions what it is referring to, he sees a vision of the same mystical currents from his previous visions being sucked into the man-made Vice.

The group maintains distance but continues to explore the basement, finding large plants reminiscent of those upstairs. Upon closer inspection, a living body is discovered inside one. Kel and Luck pull out a living fey creature. After Kel heals it back to consciousness, it attempts to flee in a panic before being handled by the group.

Seeking more information before interacting with the guardian, the group returns upstairs and attempts to find a way to make it to the higher stories of the tower currently blocked off by damaged stairs. Having served under a debilitated dwarven master, Axle deduces there must be an alternate route up and discovers an enchanted stool. Axle begins to explain his theory before Kel jumps on the stool without a second thought and is transported to the second story. The group follows and explores the few rooms here: Aleister and Reginald’s bedrooms. While Aleister’s room is full of trinkets that they plan to return to him, Reginald’s room holds a true treasure: a massive map of the world revealing a previously unknown ocean to the east.

Back at Ooil’Gorath’s blacksmithing shop, Kel places Tien and its candles in their new home, while Luck, seeking an edge in combat, asks Ooil to add a crystal to his pickaxe.

The group reconvenes at the Cloak and Fireball and seek Thorbin and Aleister. Agatha points them to his office, reminding them their rent is due. The group pays for their stay and asks what has happened to the boy. Throbin explains that Florian came by shortly after the group departed and questioned Aleister, but the boy’s story was radically different this time. Aleister’s new story involved the tower exploding, melting, and completely disappearing. Though Florian questioned him for some time, the story never changed. Eventually, Florian relented and knowing that his master was dead, he took the boy into his care and promised to enlist him into the schools of magic of Balatheera.

Knowing he was to taken care of, the group split the items they found in the wizard’s tower amongst themselves and pondered what to do next. Kel and Axle headed back to the blacksmith’s to speak more with Tien about Valturion, his former Tiefling master, Luna leaves to work on copying the map, and Silya goes outside to return to her training, something that had been neglected during their recent adventures. As Silya trains with her sword and dagger, she fumbles during one of her weapon tosses. Her instincts seem to sharpen and with a cunning dodge, she seems more nimble than ever before. With this newfound quickness, she believes herself to be able to strike deep and critically at anyone who stands before her.

Luck descends the steps of the Cloak and Fireball when a voice at the bar calls out to him. A letter has arrived, and it seems to be from Faith, his wife. Luck takes the letter and leaves his own, the one explaining that he will return to her and his son as soon as possible. He returns upstairs, barging through door where Luna and Iska are staying, looking for someone to read the letter. Iska reads aloud the note from his wife, learning that his son had completed his trials and become the guardian of Elevation Pit. Her plea for Luck to return, she’s realized, was unfair and unnecessary. She asks Luck to take care of himself and protect himself, for in ten years when their son is relieved of duty, he will need his father to help him begin a new life. These words stir something within Luck, and he gains a resilience and will to survive, knowing he cannot let his wife or his son down.

Iska, a bit inspired by the screech her violin made when Luck startled her, tries to recreate the noise. Through the loud skriching and scratching, she gets closer and closer to the sound she’s seeking: screech, spreech, splech, and finally, splorch, the sound of the Boloti slime gland from long ago. When she hones into this sound, she channels the same magics of the gland to restore and heal ailing conditions of those around her. Motivated by learning this new sound and with some newfound confidence of her song being accepted by Nathaniel, she returns to the ancient Chorus of the Muses, attempting to learn more. She manages to successfully channel the music of one, a triumphant march, but sees a vision of wheel spinning a thread and drowning out the music around her.

Kel and Axle question Tien more about what he knows about Valturion, though the answers are vague and do not seem to lead them anywhere in particular. Kel acknowledges the Luck may have been right earlier, that some rest may be best to recenter everyone. As Axle takes off to deliver Luck’s pickaxe, Kel prepares the tea of the Moril’Tha and invites Ooil to join him. Kel also prepares a cup for Tien. Kel desires to be able to speak without the aid of a translator to Tien and other beings like him and, almost unconsciously, discovers the ability to speak with plants. Suddenly, Kel falls deep into a vision, unlike his previous ones, of cave-painting like images of ancient rituals of nature, depicting the powers of nature are contained within one seed. When his consciousness returns, Kel has learned the ritual of the Soul Seed. Kel completes the ceremony of the Moril’Tha, now able to understand Tien who treats him with some reverence. Kel excuses himself to meditate, needing to reflect on all he has just learned.

A bit distracted by Iska’s playing and Luck’s interruption, Luna decides to hold off on copying the map and heads outside to train. She mentally focuses on the words “strength” and “speed” in Sylvan as she attacks blocks of ice, channeling both until one final punch sends her fist into the ice block. As she pulls her hands out, they are covered in crystals and spikes of ice. With this power, she learns how to power her unarmed strikes with icy spikes that encase her knuckles, dealing frost damage to her enemies.

Axle returns to the Cloak and Fireball, and he returns to Thorbin’s office to ask a question. He points to the medallion, the Unseen Shield. Thorbin does not reveal much when asked if an earth Genasi had been through the tavern and seems reticent to continue much conversation. Axle eventually departs and looks for a solitary place to camp out for a bit to read through the many scrolls he had found, Reginald’s writings, and his own notes. Through these readings and his own introspection, Axle discovers how to influence, change, and effect spells, as he accepts his role as a “lore master.” In order to test his new powers, Axle chose to camp out in a clearing and cast a fireball. Instead of a fireball coming forth, water emanates from him and forms into a ball of ice, shattering and sending ice crystals everywhere.

Luck joins Silya and Luna on the training grounds to test out his upgraded pickaxe. As he attacks, he can feel the power of the Crimson Right grow and grow. As this power grows, though, something else grows, something in his mind. Grain begins to bark and a cloud enters into Luck’s head, one that causes him to leave behind his learned manners and public decency, feeling unabashed about his own personal hygiene and bodily functions.

Silya attempts to help Luna understand how to use the warpwood sword she recovered at the tower, as Kel goes foraging for game which he brings to Balsheerion. Axle discusses draconic runes with Tien as Silya searches for Junglor, her half-orc tavern friend. Before long, night falls and the group decides to rest.

In the morning, Luck awakes to a mysterious ring that seems to have appeared on his hand: the symbol of two hands and a heart on it. As he inspect it, he spies an engraving: “Recover the heart.” This knowledge reminds him of a dark secret, what he had to do in order to secure his guardian powers, but he can’t quite remember what exactly it was. Suddenly, he lets loose a flatulence which wakes Iska. She looks to Luck, noticing his face flushed and eyes wide. She asks if he’s okay, and he dismisses his appearance as the after effects of something he ate, refusing to acknowledge the ring.

Luna and Silya train once again while Kel brings Balsheerion a buck for breakfast before joining the others at the Cloak and Fireball. The group speaks about what to do next and use Axle’s time rune to remove the blots and Silya’s translating to decipher Valturion’s notes. The notes reveal that there is a shrouded fourth sister, Iska explaining her visions of the Fates and how she believes that to be referring to her, as Axle translates the mysterious word the group could not understand: “genasi.” The notes indicate the time of the genasi wili bring about great change, and the time of the Indigo Seed and the Genasi will show Balatheera their true power.

Silya and Kel both finally notice the mysterious ring that appeared on Luck’s hand this morning and question him about it. He is unable to remove it, and Axle deducts that it is of powerful magic but one he cannot attune to any particular known school. Luck speaks with Agatha, seeing if she can detect what is happening, but she sends him to Marge who is more attuned to magical items like the cursed ring.

Iska and Luna head to Florian’s home in order to speak with Nathaniel about what she needs to do to enter into a contract with Arcana Mystica. The two arrive with a flourish, gliding on Luna’s water trail and flying off with a dramatic landing. Nathaniel, who had been waiting for the door all day, immediately opens it and comes to them, visibly nervous. He explains that Iska will need to perform the song as she travels while wearing the colors and markings of the Arcana Mystica. Though reticent at first, she accepts everything, including a chest with two engraved platinum bars. Upon seeing these, she is only just barely able to keep her cool. Nathaniel explains that Iska is also to travel to Falcon’s Crest, where she is to perform on a stage and spread the song. Before she leaves, she leaves the awkward and embarrassed Nathaniel an “autograph,” saying she hopes to see him again.

After speaking with Nathaniel, Luna and Iska head to Marge’s “guy” for a deep massage, where they run into Kel who seeks the same. All leave with the tension of the last few day lifted.

Luck visits Harold and Marge in order to get his ring investigated. Though she balks at the idea at first, she mentions she does have “a guy” who deals with cursed objects: Gnob at Gnob’s Gnobblin’ Gnoodles. He heads to the noodle shop to get his ring investigated. On his way, he runs into the rest of the party. They are greeted by Gnob, who makes it clear that Kel truly left his mark on his shop last time they were in: his wife has been talking about the druid and his son has been using charcoal to draw tattoos on himself. Kel playfully flexes his muscles, winks to the wife and, for good measure, gives a wink to Gnob.

Gnob brings out drinks and noodles for the group, when he begins asking Luck if he’s hungover again, noticing that he doesn’t look well. Luck asks about the dark magic that has been placed upon him, and Gnob explains that ring is a complex curse. The ring is something that must be dealt with, as simply removing it (even if they could) would still be connected to Luck. Luck shows Gnob the remainder of the rings, who points out that there are six rings for the six members of the party.

Gnob calls his wife over, who fancies herself a seer of sorts, and asks her to look through Luck’s past and see exactly where the “Goldheart” name came from. Through the waves of the past, she finds the origin of the name. Long ago, a high nobleman forced his workers to mine in the caves to the point of exhaustion, near death. He hired more and more to collect gold for him from the mine to melt it down for his pleasure, said to have a “golden heart.” Eventually, the man would pass away of old age and his mine would be inherited by his son who continued his work. As the gold began to run dry in the mine, they looked for other resources to collect, such as gems. As generations passed, the noble family slimmed and the miners began to form their own collective. They took care of one another, and eventually adopted the name “Goldheart” as a symbol of solidarity.

Gnob explains that nearby there is a Monastery of the Redeemed Heart, said to have an artifact from up north. The group hypothesizes that this may be the “heart” that the curse refers to. The group knows that, though it is out of the way, they need to prioritize ridding Luck of this curse.

With some downtime, Luna and Silya have their tarot cards read. Silya’s reveals darkness, crossed daggers, and a ghost. Silya simply gives a subtle nod. The group prepares for their travels the next day, as Axle purchases more tiger eyes for his magics. Once again, the group calls it an evening and prepares for their journey tomorrow. In the middle of the night, Luck has the same nightmare he once had, a voice clawing at the back of his mind, “Let me in.”

Iska and Axle wake in the morning and are both startled by a stranger laying in Luck’s bed. To their greater shock, the stranger’s skin is bright red and two massive ram-like horns emerge from his forehead. Upon closer examination, they see the same scars and sense that, though his body is different, this is indeed their good friend Luck, turned into a tiefling. All three are confused and deeply troubled by this transformation and quickly try to figure out what to do with a tiefling in the middle of a city. Iska tries to disguise Luck with Thalia’s Ballad, and while he momentarily is transformed into his former self, the illusion shatters. Axle runs off to inform Silya, Luna, and Kel that there is great trouble.

Luna and Silya enter the room stealthily, both frustrated with the situation, Silya letting out a massive, annoyed sigh. Luna throws Luck her new cloak to cover himself, telling the loud seeker of justice, “You no longer get to choose your battles.” Kel arrives, shocked, and after a gathering his thoughts for a moment, rushes Luck to prepare his things and leave town before any more people in town wake. He ushers Luck through the most uninhabited, least busy streets of Sojourn’s and to the woods. The rest of the party meet with them and begin to head towards the temple with the aid of Axle’s dragonstride rune. When they arrive, they find members of the Temple of Purity guarding the monastery, but more than that Luna has a revelation. This place did not always belong to the Temple of Purity. This was originally a temple dedicated to Luna’s deity, St. Cuthbert.

Episode Notes:

Iska pleads for Kel and Luna to reconsider their fury and asks them to focus on finding Luck, finding the Heart, and leaving. Luna reminds Iska that it is the group’s task to save Luck, but it is hers to reclaim this chapel for St. Cuthbert as she begins to walk to the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a cry is heard from the top of the tower: “Tiefling!” Two beams are launched at Luck, one of them making contact and burning his skin. At this point, multiple doors along the chapel open as disciples emerge and suddenly go invisible, an unknown army approaching the party. Silya recognizes the chapel has become a “kill box,” a strategically bankrupt position where the party has little chance of survival. Axle considers the young disciple who ran and hid and compares it to his own tragic past, as a voice in Luck minds laughs at the idea of ripping these men apart before thoughts of Grain ground him back into reality.

Silya checks in on Luck, who mentions he does feel like he is recovering after reclaiming the Heart, as she takes a defensive position and prepares to cover the party as they make their escape. Luck booms that he just wants to live as he makes his retreat. Axle scrambles up the side of the wall to escape the chapel and scans the building to take in all he can before looking through Kel’s eyes. Kel charges into the courtyard hellbent on destroying the remaining members of the Temple of Purity, but when he encounters the retreating party he understands this is a fight that cannot be won. He dashes outside the chapel and howls as loud and angry as he can, attempting to convince the disciples they are surrounded and provide a distraction for the escaping party.

Iska once again begs Luna to consider her own words, that no matter the Temple of Purity cannot take or break her faith. Full of rage, Luna screams as she turns and channels her elemental magic to create an ice flow she uses to glide out the chapel, grabbing Iska on the way. Silya and Luck cover each other’s backs as they leave, while Axle hangs behind and uses a blast of magic to destroy the Temple of Purity’s symbol hung above the chapel doors, giving a toothy grin as he does so. Kel continues to circle the chapel, howling as he does. These howls shake the tower guard to his core, and he calls out that the chapel is surrounded, bunker down for a siege, allowing an easy escape for the party.

Making their way away from the chapel, members of the party notice a moonbow emanating from a creek, bouncing off mist from some nearby falls, a giant water wheel turning. Iska points it out to Luna, indicating they should head that way to reconvene with the rest of the party and hoping the scene will calm her emotions.

As Kel and Axle meet, Axle feels himself continuing to shrink and thinks back to one of Harold’s stories about the Vice: a traveling companion was cursed by a shrinking spell and continued to diminish until he vanished. Axle downs a growing potion in order to counteract this as he rides on Kel’s back to meet with the party. Once reunited, Axle begins to shrink again at a rapid pace, until he asks Iska to use some sort of magic to cure him. She quickly plays a “splorch” on her violin and restores him, curing him of the magical surge.

Axle and Iska explore the river and investigate the water wheel closer. Iska is drawn to it, having had a vision of a water wheel drowning out the music around her in one of her visions. As the two get closer, it almost appears as if music notes are part of the wheel itself. Iska quietly begins to play a beautiful melody, when she awakens another vision. She is transported to a mountainous region where she experiences the life of an elven boy from his birth, his adventures climbing a massive mountain with his young sister, his growth and his sense of adventure. As she returns to the present, she understands that she’ll need to find more to figure out the context of this vision, but she is thrilled that she won the race to the first Chord of Fate, instilling her with a power to change fortune itself for herself and others.

Luna approaches Iska the following morning, where Iska apologizes for the night before. Luna is confused until Iska explains that she could never understand how she felt in that chapel, but she needed Luna to leave so nothing would happen to her like happened to Gandry. Luna tells her not to worry about it, she would not have allowed herself to stay long enough for that to happen, but that Iska must separate herself from Luna’s plans going forward, that they may differ more than she knows. Iska asks Luna not leave her out, and Luna embraces her saying “parents take care of their children.”

Silya carves the Obsidian Shard into a throwing star-like shape and smirks at the knowledge of how she’ll use it going forward. As Luck returns from a morning jog, the others notice his horns have receded and a piece of his humanity has been restored. Axle attempts to explain to Luck that his shape is changing, leaving Luck slightly confused but ever in his high spirits. As the gang eats breakfast, Axle identifies the formerly cursed ring as a Ring of Protection that can protect him from non-magical piercing weapons.

Noticing that Luck has begun to revert to his old self, Kel suggests the party return to Sojourn’s Crossing, hoping he will be closer to his human form by that time. Kel sees Luna by the shore, and he approaches her. He asks what her plans on with the monastery. She says she knows where they are and she will return when the time is right. He asks she keep him informed, as he does not want her to shoulder that burden alone.

Using Axle’s dragonstride rune, the party begins their trip back to Sojourn’s Crossing. Their journey is relatively safe until Axle can hear the sound of a cart coming over a hill. Axle springs into action, trying to distract the cart by running ahead and asking for directions. His diminished size leads to confusion that he is a stray animal and he is shooed away. Iska attempts to play Thalia’s Ballad to hide Luck, but her notes bend and break as a Vice surge takes over her magic. Though the spell fails, she is filled with a renewed sense of vigor and energy. Kel quickly springs underneath Luck and transforms into a horse, galloping off into the distance to keep him hidden. One last distraction, Silya marches to Axle and causes a scene, chastising him for “running off.” The distraction pays off, and the party is able to move toward Sojourn’s Crossing unhindered, following Kel’s leave into cover.
