After which, the party realizes that they are on a descent. The had finally made it to the lost city of Drose, and their arrival was expected by those who received them. A Unillum with a salamander fire spirit tells the ship to begin their descent. Once on the ground, they are met with Chantico, The Sentinel/Protector of the Eternal Flame, they are greeted and told to go with Hagen, her aid, while Zechs and Galahad follow her.

We open with several party members asking their three questions to this giant stone face floating in the sky. They are given some prophecies of what will come with the sky giants, insight on how to separate Zechs from Malar, and some other cryptic information they will take some time to piece together. That night, Shanks receives a vision from Solonor of an orcish figure. The Elven God seems to insist on having Shanks seek him out. Glad, on the other hand, has an encounter with her alternate. A powerful Circle of Dreams Druid, and their conversation gets intense rather quickly. Glad brings this up to Shanks, Salix, and Hoshino the following day, over an out-of-character stiff drink. Hoshino has his series of visions and begins to write down what he saw to remember all the details, particularly that of a woman closely connected to his past that he doesn’t recognize. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…

Shanks and Galahad seek out Fat Arguile to discuss a possible business venture. He gives the two an address and informs them to meet with the “Financier.” The group continues to enjoy the festivities, allowing the heavier news to follow the next day. There is a discussion about morality amongst the party, and that evening Galahad is met with an alternate version of Thiadikus in a dream. Zechs speaks to the group about what he saw in The Vineyard and gives a report back to Amina. The group sees themselves as majority stakeholders in the Chubby T’s franchise, with logistics to be ironed out later. For now, the group departs towards Salix’s hermitage.



Days later, the group arrives, and before even getting the chance to settle in, the group realizes they’re under attack, which is an ambush. We see The Constable’s lieutenants in the forms of an Alternate Galahad, Shankise, Salix, and the Executioner. They are not alone; they’re accompanied by members of Shanks’ old crew, The Wolf Pack. A tense battle resulted in the group seeking a retreat in Salix’s hermitage, trapped by a force cage. It’s there that the group finds The Constable, Shankise, and Alma, the woman who kidnapped so many children in Nymora, the reason for so much of Zechs’ and Kyver’s pain, there standing alongside him. Upon meeting The Constable for the first time, Hoshino uses Dimension Door to flee the hermitage and narrowly escapes the pursuit of Shankise in a game of cat and mouse.



Meanwhile, inside the hermitage, the conversation with The Constable, the party, and some uninvited guests creates tension that puts the entire group on edge. A lot is revealed, leaving a few party members at their breaking point. Eventually, the group is left there, and Hoshino returns, clearly shaken, and the group plans again.



The group assesses the damage to the Swift Hummingbird and realizes it will require some assistance and a new crystal. Making their way back to Invenas, they first stop by Iggy, who they catch up with and give Arguile the gold from their bet. Back at the hermitage, we find Hoshino deep in a trance, reflecting upon a memory; it’s a shocking revelation that brings to light how we find our bard removed from time. The Invenas group finally makes their way toward Aeron Stormrider and requests his help in the ship’s repair.



We end with a conversation between Shanks and Hoshino, where Arioch pushes Shanks to his limits and further plants the seeds of chaos in Shanks.



There’s so much happening, and we pick up with arc 20, “A Path Less Traveled ”. How will the rest of this story unfold? Find out next time on the Medusa’s Cascade: Collateral Damage!
