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.

F&F C2-E83 - I'm Not Cuddling THAT

     Last time on The Tales of Archeron, another Greim, Saedhir's Wrath, was supposedly slain after eating some of Empress Izel's Royal Guards and more importantly Hambjerger. Moriko's sharp eyes noticed a shape moving through the trees and gave chase, eventually tracking down and beating the ever living snot out of Saedhir's Wrath who had gone invisible to retreat. The rest of the party arrived and saw to finishing the creature off for good. Except for Brick. He just pretended to be the world's largest cork. With the beast finally slain, Pez dove into its corpse to retrieve what was left of Hambjerger. Their friend retrieved, the Tempests returned to the Empress to see if there was anything she could do to help. Having no way to bring Hambjerger back, Pez seemed to close himself off.     Empress Izel invited the Tempests to return with her to Colatl so that she could reward them properly. What they weren't expecting was to be traveling upon the largest vessel they'd ever seen. Far bigger than any sea faring ship, it was the size of a small village. And it flew! It would take a few days to arrive in Colatl and the Tempests had other things that needed addressing. Questioning the severed head of Zephyrus was first on the list and... revealed very little information. The head was promptly chucked off the side of the side of the Koskatl to hopefully not land on some poor child far below and scar them for life.      Encouraged by the rest of the party, Pez reached out to Coyote to see what could be done for Hambjerger and received a good heart-to-heart with the deity. Coyote revealed that Hambjerger was gone, yet not. Coyote made a deal with Pez: If the little Kobold wanted his friend back, he'd have to work for it. Coyote resurrected Hambjerger within the Orc lands, and it was up to Pez and his friends to find their companion.     Reinvigorated with a new goal on the horizon, Pez finally made a decision about what to do with the Tetl Yolili: He would attach Cassie's soul to their Wagon. Once the ritual was complete, the wagon now named "Cassie's Sanctuary", the Tetl attached itself to the banister where it had been placed.     We rejoin the Tempests now as they hear a disembodied yawn and a voice familiar to Pez saying "Hello!"

F&F C3-E31 - Good Plan, GREAT Plan!

Last we tuned in, the Mercs 4 Hire successfully infiltrated the gambling barge known as the Great Dame. After a evening of subterfuge, in which Siren really shined, the wee hours of the morning started to drag on. At that point Peanut decided to speed things up and take matters into his own hands. He infiltrated the office of one Lord Drylund, and quickly established dominance. After realizing something was amiss, the rest of the Mercs quickly but sneakily converged on the office. After a brief interrogation they discovered what little they could before Lord Drylund's master killed him from afar by magical means. After a concocting a very strange plan to explain the Lord's disappearance, the Merc's seemed to get away scot free, a first for them in the city of Yartar. After returning to Everlund, they brainstormed the next part of their mission: Finding a ship cloaked from all divination magic somewhere in the northern Sea Of Swords.

F&F C2-E82 - The Good and The Bad

Last we last left off, the Tempests had succeeded in fixing Brick's core and were waiting for the arrival of Empress Izel of the Aztlan Empire to come and inspect the repair progress of the Smithy city of Chichimec. She also wished to meet Brick, the original mortal-made being. Their introduction was short lived as shortly after meeting the Empress, Zephyrus chose that moment to attack the city once more with the apparent intent to kill Empress Izel. In the midst of the battle, another of Saedhir's Greims thundered out of the jungle, having pursued the Tempests from the Tepetl Mountains. The Wrath seemed intent on attacking the Empress but was swiftly brought low by Pez's arcane canon, but not before swallowing a few of Izel's personal guards, and Hambjerger, whole.We rejoin the Tempests now as the dust settles, Zephyrus laying dead amidst a pile of rocks, and Moriko pursuing suspicious movement further into the jungle tree-line.

F&F C3-E30 - Time to Krack On

Last we left the Mercs 4 Hire, they had returned to Everlund to seek help from the Harpers in uncovering the origins of the wooden coin. After enlisting the help of Siren's brother, Telemachus, they settled into wait while the spies did their thing. After a few days of downtime, during which Peanut started scratching names off his hit list, Telemachus returned with bad news. The coin was a gambling chip from a casino in Yartar. Surprisingly the Mercs were able to successfully infiltrate the city and do some recon. We now rejoin as they finish preparations for the nights festivities.
