F&F C2-E90 - Caraffe's On Stilts

Last we left off on the Tales of Archeron, (Many moons ago) the Tempests had traveled halfway across the Takatari Empire to the capital city of Chunsu to finally lay to rest Kasumi's redemption quest, only to be faced with hardship, horror, and a significant amount of red tape. Barred from seeing the Shogun personally, the Tempests received help from a local Redguard named Tanaka to set up a meeting with Taiko Suki, the Overseer of the People. They met with her to see if there was any way to gain an audience with the Takatari ruler. Not terribly hopeful, Taiko Suki agreed to speak with those above her to have an audience arranged if possible. Now left to their own devices, the Tempests wandered the city of Chunsu until they received word from Taiko Suki. We rejoin the Tempests now as they wait for their hot dinner date with Tanaka.

F&F C2-E89 - What do you mean I'm not PRETTY enough?

Last we left off on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had made their way into Kasumi’s homeland of Takatari, but not the verdant landscape she was expecting to see. Dead and dying fields, barren farmlands, malnourished wildlife, and aggressive local monsters greeted them each day. Concerned for the well being of her home, Kasumi urged Cassie to travel day and night to reach their destination as quickly as possible, the capitol city Chunsu. After a brief battle against a group of giants the day before, the Tempests arrived at the outskirts of Chunsu where they received directions from a local as to how they could enter the city proper.

F&F C2-E88 - Just Dudes Being Dudes

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests descended into Takatari after encountering the two deities, Tlazocoatl and Shenshe, atop their mountain home where they gave their advice, blessings, and gifts to aid them on their journey forward. Making landfall, Kasumi became concerned with the state of her homeland. Much of the grass and vegetation is dead or dying. The vast farmlands are barren and there are few souls traveling the roadways. With a growing sense of unease, Kasumi asked Cassie to continue traveling throughout the day and night on their way to Chunsu. The Tempests were greeted with more and more images of the sickened land: from malnourished wolves, to a pile of corpses not far from the roadside. Along the way, their wagon was hit by a severe earthquake that dislodged many items inside, they encountered a chest weasel that seemed to feed off of frustration and departed after giving the Tempests a few gifts for their efforts, and they came upon a giant hole in the ground surrounded by a handful of locals peering down within.

F&F C3-E33 - Arena Warfare

From the icy north to the High Forest, from depths of the ocean to the barren desert, the goofy, rag tag group of somehow highly efficient adventurers known as the Mercs for Hire have traveled nearly the width and breadth of the northern Sword Coast. After finding themselves in the midst of great turmoil and catastrophe the Mercs became the central players in a struggle between all of giant kind, as each clan fought to establish themselves as the greatest in their hierarchy. After a perilous journey involving dragons, oracles, krakens, and of course, giants, the group has reached their final challenge in this chapter of their lives. A final showdown with an ancient blue dragon, Iymrith, the Doom of the Desert, and the instigator of the larger than life troubles that plague the region.

F&F C2-E87 - So.. Do you grant wishes?

As we proceed into a new chapter we'll take a quick look back on what has transpired on The Tales of Archeron, The Tempests had traveled to Aztlan so they could fix their companion Brick who had a faulty core. Traveling and fighting through treacherous oceanic mountains, the Tempests sought out the necessary magical stones, and subsequently discovered some interfering cultists skulking about, and gained a new companion, Moriko - The Silent Blossom. Though they were unable to discover their motives the Tempests thwarted the cultists they came across and reported their presence to the Aztlan military. After killing and unkilling a rare creature to retrieve the final stones needed to craft Brick's new core, they returned to the mainland to find that Chichimec had been attacked by the same Cultists, damaging many of the forges within, slaying their beast of burden Cassie, and kidnapping both G3-MENI and Borgrir. With Chimali injured during the attack, Pez was an incredible asset in helping complete Brick's rebuild, updating not only his core, but his entire physical being. The ritual to transfer Brick's consciousness to his new body went off without a hitch... except for Brick attempting to make a joke that went off "swimmingly". With almost no time to prepare, the Empress of Aztlan, an Aarakocra named Izel, visited Chichimec to personally check in on the repairs and to meet the heroes who uncovered the cultist's meddling. Just in time for the Cultists to meddle once again with the Tempest's previous nemesis, Zephyrus. To complicate things further, another Greim joined the fray, but the Tempests were not to be bested and wiped the Cultists, and Saedhir's beast, off the face of Archeron... But not without casualties on their side as well. Hambjerger was slain during the fray. The Tempests accepted the Empress' offer to bring them back to Colatl to reward their good deeds and along the way, Pez had a heart to heart with Coyote about the loss of his little feathered friend. Accepting Coyote's deal, Hambjerger was revived within the Orc Lands and it is now up to Pez to overcome his fear to find his companion. Performing a ritual provided to them by Chimali, Cassie's spirit was infused into their wagon home, dubbing it "Cassie's Sanctuary". Though it unnerved a few in the party, their wagon home was now self propelling and sentient. The Tempests spent a few days in Colatl, the capital city of Aztlan, and were heralded as heroes to the empire and Moriko was introduced into civilization and the wonderful past time of candle licking. Visiting the temple to the local deity, a few of the Tempests sought out guidance and received some very clear directions. Following the whims of Tlazocoatl, the Tempests headed North towards Takatari with a slight detour up the Dragon Lover's Mountain where they were visited by both Tlazocoatl and Shenshe in the divine flesh. It was here that the Tempests received a blessing from the deities, Kasumi was given all of her tails back plus a curious vision, and Brick was gifted with a scale from Tlazocoatl to help aid in his desire to protect his family.- We rejoin the Tempests now as their skyship slowly descends down into the land of Takatari.

F&F C2-E86 - One Chapter Ends and Another Begins

  Last time on The Tales of Archeron, The Tempests enjoyed a few extra days living in the capitol city Colatl. They checked on their orders from the various Aztlan tradesmen and even enjoyed an afternoon of pampering at the Sunset Bathhouse. Soon enough, their audience with the Empress was set and they met early in the morning to, much to their horror, address the entirety of Colatl. While Moriko and Kasumi froze up like deer in headlights, Pez and Brick stepped forward to say a few words towards the citizenry and seemed to have been met with excitement and approval. The Tempests then joined Empress Izel to a lavish breakfast, wherein Pez educated the Aztlan nobles into the finer arts of Western music.

F&F C2-E85 - Hero Speeches

    Last time on The Tales of Archeron, we had a bit of a shopping episode! Brick stayed behind in Tolani Castle to learn more about his heritage and the guards he was modeled after while the other Tempests set out into the city to see what sort of mischief they could get into. Conveniently, a tour guide was assigned to them known as Mister Yoshi, a rather tall halfling of questionable age and limitless eccentricities. Odd as the guide might have been, he led the Tempests around Colatl without fault, getting them to their desired locations with minimal dawdling. Items were ordered, food was purchased, drinks were downed, and candles were licked. It was a rather chaotic first day in the Aztlan capital.

F&F C3-E32 - Making a Plan

Last we left off, the Mercs 4 Hire were finalizing their plan to hunt down the elusive ship know as the Morkoth. Upon deciding the best course was to use all their resources, they hired a ship through the Harpers and brought along their new dragon friend, Felgolos. Upon arriving at the general area the ship was said to be hiding in the group split up, covering more ground to find their quarry. Before long the Morkoth was sighted and the group quickly converged on the enemy. After a drawn out battle, the crew was dispatched. Hekaton was freed and quickly calmed by Siren, lest he sink the ship himself in his rage at being held prisoner. Another captive was also uncovered, Siren's father, the Silver Tongue. After taking an hour to rest and for peanut to re-atune to the conch of teleportation. The group felt something hit the ship with enough force to shake it. They watch in horror as tentacles large enough to encircle the boat slowly started to pull the ship under the waves. Acting fast, Peanut teleported everyone back to Maelstrom, where we rejoin our heroes as they tumble to the floor in a heap...

F&F C2-E84 - Candle Licker

     Last time on The Tales of Archeron, with Pez obtaining a new quest from Coyote to find his companion Hambjerger, the Tempests venture onward to the capitol city of Aztlan, Colatl. Along the way, Pez completed the ritual to infuse Cassie's soul into the Wagon, dubbing it "Cassie's Sanctuary". A few of the party members were perturbed by the disembodied voice of their former beast of burden, but seemed to be getting more used to their now living home.      Arriving in Colatl, the Empress Izel informed the party that they could expect to hear from her in a few days time as far as their reward was concerned.      We rejoin them now as they are set loose upon the city of Colatl to explore to their heart's content.
