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!
