    F&F C2-E137 - Eyo I Might Die T'morrah

    Last we left off, the Tempests had confronted the Cult Acolyte Cedric and his entourage. After a short skirmish, Cedric was blasted "safely" inside Lakin's pocket dimension, but they would have to wait until the next morning before they could return and question him.     Back in Völsung, the Tempests noticed unfamiliar sails at the docks, but first reported their success to Jarl Sigmund. The Jarl was meeting with two strangers who looked far more at home in the warmer climates of the south and seemed to have little interest in introducing themselves, or even acknowledging the Tempests at all.     Sigmund asked that Skava be present when they questioned Cedric and told them to report back once they had learned something useful.     With time to spare, the group headed for the docks, where Qan'Karro had been placed in charge of inspecting and organizing the growing number of incoming ships. Moriko offered to help scan the vessels with the Crystallized Neural Node, while Zaan very generously volunteered his assistance so that he could (selfishly) spend more time with his adoptive father.     The next morning, Lakin, Kasumi, Pez, and Skava entered the pocket dimension prepared to resume the fight with Cedric. Pez was ready to shoot, Kasumi had an arrow prepared, and everyone expected trouble.     Cedric, unfortunately, had other plans.     By the time they returned, the Acolyte had succumbed to his wounds. Who knew that three bullet holes in the chest would cause all of your blood to leak out?     Searching his belongings revealed a strange compass with no obvious directional markings, and seemed to not work at all while inside the pocket dimension. Lakin then used his warlock-iness to question Cedric's corpse.     From the dead Acolyte, they learned that the compass points toward a Cult stronghold somewhere deep in the north. It could guide them in the right direction, but would do nothing to help them survive or navigate the brutal terrain. Cedric also revealed that there were likely hundreds of Cultists stationed there.     Meanwhile, Zaan and Moriko had returned to the docks to help Qan'Karro just as another unfamiliar vessel limped into port. This one flew the colors of Harpermere and seemed to be a little worse for wear.     The first ashore were Grant and Ena Harpermere, the kingdom's new King and Queen, accompanied by eight guards. Moriko's crystal immediately detected that one of them belonged to the Cult, though it was not immediately clear which one.     Qan'Karro escorted Ena and her guards toward the Jarl's Longhouse while Grant stayed behind to coordinate the damaged ship and the fleet following behind it. Zaan warned the King that one of Ena's guards was a Cultist, prompting Grant to take off after them and leave Zaan alone at the docks with one very forgotten goblin who revealed himself then promptly vanished again.     At the Longhouse, Qan'Karro was instructing the Queen's Guard on how best to defend the building when Grant caught up. With Moriko finally able to single out the traitor, Grant accused the guard and ordered his arrest.     The Cultist managed to get one swing of his sword off before Qan'Karro promptly ham-fisted his head into the ground.     We rejoin the Tempests now as Lakin, Kasumi, Pez, and Skava return from their own investigation to find Qan'Karro standing like Captain Morgan, one foot planted squarely on the subdued guard's chest.     Meanwhile, Zaan is still standing all by his lonesome at the docks.   We have merch!

    F&F C2-E136 - Muffin Tax

    Last we left off, the Tempests had finally arrived in Völsung, the capital of Zaan’s home country of Rokasing. The city was packed with people, with soldiers from all across Rokasing itching for a fight. Namely, against the Cultists who had been raiding and pillaging their land.     Unfortunately, the Cultists had proven slippery and are taking refuge somewhere within the blizzards to the north of the continent, an area notoriously difficult to traverse without the aid of one of the northern tribes.     But that problem would have to wait, as the Tempests had discovered there were spies operating within the walls of Völsung itself. After hunting one of them down, they learned that the spy had been relaying information to a local Cult leader: an Acolyte named Cedric.     Coming up with a plan to lure Cedric into the open, Moriko impersonated the now-deceased spy and contacted the acolyte using the sending stone they had found on the spy’s person. The bait? Lakin had turned against the Tempests, and the spy wanted to bring him in to be indoctrinated.     Cedric agreed to a face-to-face meeting well outside the city walls. Moriko altered her form to resemble the dead spy and escorted Lakin to the meeting point, where Cedric proved hesitant to believe that Lakin had truly betrayed his companions.     If Lakin wanted to prove himself, Cedric had a simple request: bring him Zaan, bound and beaten.     Only then would he believe the betrayal was genuine.     Lakin seemed all too happy to give Zaan a black eye, and the pair bickered the entire way back to the meeting point, doing their best to sell the idea that there had been growing discontent between them.     Seeing Zaan delivered to him on a silver platter, Cedric informed Lakin that his services were no longer required. Rather than allowing Lakin to turn Zaan in himself, Cedric intended to take the prisoner and claim all the credit.     After Cedric failed to cast a spell on both Lakin and Zaan, however, the trap finally snapped shut.     Lakin opened a door to his pocket dimension, where Pez had been hiding the entire time, and Pez promptly ventilated the Acolyte with a barrage of magical bullets.     We rejoin the Tempests now in the aftermath of a quick but bloody skirmish that left Cedric alone inside Lakin's pocket dimension and the six Cultists lying in wait now lay dead, scattered across the clearing.   We have merch!

    F&F C2-E135 - I Could Lie

    Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests trekked across Rokasing and finally reached the capital city of Völsung, where they found the city packed to capacity with warriors from across the region, all ready for a fight that had yet to come.     Leaving Cassie outside the walls, the Tempests entered the city in search of the Jarl or Zaan’s father, Qan’Karro, hoping to share what they had learned. They found Qan’Karro first, giving Zaan a long-awaited reunion with his father—though with everything happening around them, there was little time to enjoy it.     Völsung was overflowing with fighters, with still more on the way, but the Jarl faced one rather significant problem: they had an army ready to hurl itself into battle and no idea where the enemy actually was.     G3-MENI, meanwhile, was safe and about as healthy as one could reasonably expect while missing their legs. They filled the Tempests in on what little they knew, but there were still far more questions than answers.     With evidence that cultists were operating inside Völsung itself, the Jarl placed the Tempests in the care of his Listener, Skava, and tasked them with rooting out the spies within the city. The hunt proved successful, followed by a rousing bout of interrogation involving chains, fire, spells, and threats of feathers. When the captive proved less useful alive than they had hoped, the Tempests turned to Lakin’s ability to negotiate with the dead instead.     From the dead spy, they learned that information from within Völsung was being passed to a Cult Acolyte named Cedric. The spy had never seen Cedric’s face, however, as the Acolyte always wore a mask.     The day still had one more surprise in store. During the interrogation, Kasumi was suddenly overwhelmed by a powerful sense of rage and loss—emotions that were not her own. Attempts to identify or dispel whatever magic might be affecting her revealed nothing, so the Tempests returned to Cassie, where Kasumi attempted to contact her deity, Shenshe.     Through a series of signs and a brief ritual, Kasumi managed to hear the dragon god’s voice. Shenshe revealed the source of the grief Kasumi had felt: her mate, Tlazocolatl, was gone. She gave Kasumi a single task.     Find him.     We rejoin the Tempests now aboard Cassie, just outside the walls of Völsung, as they decide what comes next.   We have merch!

    F&F C2-E134 - How Many Gauges You Want?

    Last we left off... The Tempests journeyed North into Zaan's homeland, the frozen region known as Rokasing. As with much of Archeron, Rokasing was in a rough way. According to the Jarl of his hometown, many of the able-bodied fighters had gone East to Volsung where other Rokasinians were gathering to handle this cultist threat.     The Tempests headed East themselves, though it was a slow journey. Deep snows covered the path, requiring Cassie to deploy her spider-like legs often to make it through the heavy snow drifts. This did give the Tempests plenty of time to reach out to family, old friends, and acquaintances to ask for aid in the coming fight. They knew roughly where the cultists were, but not precisely where. Their hope was to learn more once arriving in Völsung.     After taking the better part of a week to travel across Rokasing, and encountering a disturbing, cannibalistic Giant Elk along the way, the Tempests have finally laid eyes on the capitol city, Völsung.     We rejoin them now as they descend down the slope towards the makeshift camps gathered outside the city's main defensive walls.   We have merch!

    F&F C2-E133 - Flesh for the Drum Heads

    Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests have finally made it to Rokasing, the frozen north. Zaan was quite literally thumping for joy to finally return home after being abroad for over a year. It was finally time to tell his tale to his northern brethren.     But things were not quite as he recalled them to be.     After passing through the Isovergang outpost, they made a beeline towards Zaan's hometown, Sverker, and found that its population was fairly diminished. The able bodied fighters had left for Völsung some time ago to join with the rest of the Rokasinians and determine what could be done about the threat in their homeland.     Jarl Brunhilde was only able to relay so much information, as she simply didn't know the answers to their questions. So, Zaan reached out to his father, Qan'Karro who had supposedly left for Völsung with the others, and learned that to travel north of the road was a bad idea and that nature was not to be trusted these days.     Kasumi also reached out with the book of sending, first to G3-MENI to get a better idea of where she was exactly and to ascertain the state of her health. Mostly mended, G3-MENI was in the main long house of Völsung. Kasumi then reached out to Brick with the book, but the spell failed.     With no other answers, and with much reluctance from Zaan, the Tempests set off once more into the somewhat unknown wilderness to meet up with the rest of the warrior nation to see what could be done about these detestable cultists.   We have merch!

    F&F C2-E132 - Tire Dad

    Last we left off, the Tempests were heading North across the landbridge that connects the continent of Drago to Rokasing, the frozen North. Their destination being the capitol city of Volsung where there missing friend G3-MENI claimed to have taken refuge in after being saved by her brother and past Tempest member, Brick. Last she spoke, she didn't know of his current status or whereabouts.     The journey was anything but smooth however. This stretch of land is not often traveled and there is no clear road to pass through. The temperature dropped rapidly and the biting sea air coming from the East chilled them to the bone. Their forward scout Bogbo came across a large feather from an unknown creature and set out ahead once more. When they saw him next, he was asleep in the middle of the road. Thinking fast, Lakin flew skyward to see what he could perceive and was promptly attacked by a Harpy. With blood in the air, the Tempests were set upon by a flock of Harpies. But their alluring voices were only so effective and a brief aerial skirmish took place. But the tides of the fight turned abruptly. More Harpies flew in from the West, but seemed to be ignoring the Tempests as a bright glow rose from the far side of the mountains. Lakin was none-too-keen on letting any of the Harpies escape and gave chase, blinding and confusing a few of them.     One hapless Harpy was so disoriented, blinded by Lakin's spell, that it doubled back and flew straight into the claws of an approaching Ember Roc. The beast seemed to be hunting the Harpies, but once both Zaan and Pez took shots at the colossal beast, its attention shifted. Urging Cassie onward, the Tempests began to flee. But the loud roaring of the cannon atop Cassie's roof drew the Roc's attention to it and with a flap of its burning wings, set Cassie's right side aflame.     Thinking quickly, Lakin flew towards the Ember Roc and just managed to lay his hand on the creature's flank, sending it to a different plane of existence before he himself crashed down into the snow. Adrenaline flowing.. paranoia, fear, and tempers high.. The Tempests continued northward towards the frozen expanse of Zaan's homeland.   We have merch!

    F&F C2-E131 - It's A "Light Over There" Problem

    Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests continue their journey north toward Rokasing. Rather than risk the open waters again, they have chosen to travel overland through the Knightly Kingdoms. Their route brought them to Northerwren, a Welterwatch outpost standing as the last bastion of the region before the frozen north begins in earnest.     After a very close call at the gate, where the guards discovered that Zaan was one of the so-called “northern savages,” the Tempests were allowed inside to prepare for the cold ahead. Lakin hired the camp tailor, Ridley, to make heavier cloaks and warmer jackets for the group. But, when Ridley offered a compliment or two to Moriko, Lakin immediately assumed the man was trying to court the pink eladrin and challenged him to a duel for the right to do so.     Ridley accepted and it went poorly for him. The much larger orc proceeded to thoroughly beat the tailor into the dirt, though no lasting harm was done. Zaan healed Ridley afterward, and the tailor returned to work on the party’s cold weather gear. Once their new clothing was ready, the Tempests wasted no time setting out across the land bridge to the north.     We rejoin them now on the road, shortly after Bogbo discovered a disturbingly large feather lying along the path, with none of them quite certain what sort of creature it might have come from.   We have merch!

    F&F C2-E130 - Foxy Grandpa

    Last we left off, the Tempests were heading North towards Rokasing, the Frozen North. It's where the enemy seemed to be operating, and it's where their old friend GE-MINI had been moved to after supposedly being rescued by Brick, though she was severely damaged. The party stuck to the roads, deciding that it would be easier, if not longer, than try to cut through the forest with a giant mobile cart-home..     Their first stop would be Crossroads, a small junction town they'd passed through previously before heading North West. Unfortunately, they arrived in the early hours of nightfall and the gates were already closed. Undeterred, Kasumi decided to grab Zaan, their most 'diplomatic' party member, to see about getting the guards to open the gates for them.     Without pre-amble, Zaan leapt up onto the walls and asked if the gate could be lowered, then was immediately arrested. Kasumi was a tad bit too late to stop these events, and was turned away despite flailing around Sir Reginald's insignia and letter. The gates were to remained closed through the night on the Duchess' orders. Zaan would have to spend the night in jail.     Come the morning, the Tempests waltzed right in to Crossroads and went about freeing their companion from confinement. Zaan however, rushed out in his eagerness to be free after paying the fine and nearly scarpered off with his manacles still around his wrists.     We rejoin the Tempests now as they regroup just outside the jail in Crossroads and come to the realization that their forward scout, Bogbo, was missing.   We have merch!
