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.

F&F C2-E81 - Victories and Loses

Picking up where we last left off, Brick’s prank backfired horribly as his consciousness was transferred into his new body, causing many of the Tempests to lose their trust in the mechanical giant. Brick tried desperately to try to make amends and made a little headway, but still has much ground to cover. The tempests spent the next few days helping repair the Chichimec smithy, get their wagon operational, and inevitably await the arrival of the Empress Izel who ruled over all of Aztlan. Upon the empress’s arrival, it became clear that Brick was designed after Izel’s personal guard and the empress herself was quite young and somewhat playful. The initial, brief meeting was interrupted by a sarcastic round of applause and an infamously familiar voice calling out to the Tempests. We rejoin them now as Zephyrus, flanked by a small army of cultists, faces off against the Tempests and the Empress’ guards.

F&F C2-E80 - There's a Little Me in You

Picking up where we last left off! The Tempests returned to Chichimec via the Gateway Stone and learned that the Smithy had been attacked relatively recently. Chimali had been severely wounded in the battle, his mechanical arm was destroyed and his right eye injured beyond repair. Borgrir and G3-MINI had been kidnapped during the encounter. Whether or not that was the attacker’s goal or a consolation prize is anyone’s guess. After a little questioning, the Tempests came to the conclusion that it was once again the purple robed cultists’ doing. With much on their minds, the party decided that it was best for them to complete what they had come to Aztlan to do first; Repair Brick’s core. With Chimali handicapped as he is, Pez led the charge in building Brick’s replacement body and after a grueling couple of days, everything was ready. Bidding their potential final goodbyes to Brick as they prepared for the worst and hoped for the best, Chimali instructed the Tempests through the theoretical process of transferring Brick’s consciousness to the new core. Everything seemed to be going well, until Brick awoke and seemed to have no memory of his fellows or anyone in the room. Distraught, the Tempests hung their heads… until Brick revealed he was making a joke and was immediately reprimanded with glares, hammers, and spell empowered fists that sent him sprawling across the room.We rejoin the Tempests now as Brick picks himself up off the floor and tries to think of an apology worthy enough to have his friends forgive him.

F&F C3-E28 - How to Use a Hole

Last time on Storm Kings Chaos, the Mercs for hire made a quick stop in Everlund to pick up Siren's new magic item, the Viobow. After that and some shopping, the Mercs used their new Conch to teleport themselves into the depths of the Maelstrom, a storm giant fortress at the bottom of the ocean. They explored this fortress, sneaking past some denizens, and plundering some rooms (no one will notice right?) before finding a magic pool of scrying. Odie used the pool to find which room Princess Serrisa was in and we now rejoin the group as they attempt to navigate their way to the throne room.

F&F C2-E79 - Grunkle Pez

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests made a difficult decision and decided to slay the innocent, peaceful creature known as a Ketsali despite the warnings that it was considered bad luck. The potential profit of completing their quest to fix Brick early outweighed the potential negative outcome. Sure enough, the creature was salin and the necessary crystals harvested from its corpse, much to Moriko’s dismay. The Tempests were afflicted by a powerful curse upon the death of the Ketsali, though their consciences were partially relieved when Zaan healed the creature, saving it from death. Luckily for the party, Zaan is very good at removing things from people! Curses being one of them. The Tempests returned to Shenshe’s temple to rest for the night, let their anger caused by the mysterious shadow lapse, and to plan their next move. After sending a message to Borgrir and receiving no reply, they decided to use Brick’s Gateway ring to quickly return to Chichimec, only to find the aftermath of battle strewn about the area. The outer structure had been destroyed with small smoldering fires still lingering. Even their wagon had been targeted, the wheels broken among other damages to the exterior. Their faithful beast of burden Cassie was nowhere to be seen.

F&F C3-E27 - They're Meh'Phits

Last time of Storm Kings Chaos: After discovering they had no way of retrieving the cloud giants Conch of teleportation, the group decided to arrange a meet with Countess Sansuri. The goal was to persuade and/or deceive her to let them use the conch to infiltrate the Maelstrom on her behalf. Negations fell through and only after Count Thullen intervened were the Mercs given a chance to prove themselves. The Countess challenged the Mercs to defeat herself and two other giants, seeming to be more focused on killing and disposing of the small folk. After a drawn out fight in which the Mercs subdued the giants, the Countess begrudgingly handed over the Conch. After a small detour by Arridol to rescue a captive dragon, the Mercs flew off to regroup and prepare to infuriate the Maelstrom.

F&F C2-E78 - Crustacean Domination

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests encountered a snark Djinni that was jealously guarding a curious metal flask that had the ability to speak, among other things. The Djinni was swiftly humbled and defeated much to the glee of the Flask that introduced itself as Mr Bottle, the world’s greatest alchemist. Their new companion in hand, the Tempests ventured further into the Pakyotl region in search of the rare Ketsali: a creature rumored to grow magical creatures across its body that has the potential of having just what Brick needs to fix his faulty core. Treacherous paths lay ahead of the party, but so far nothing that they can’t handle. We rejoin the Tempests now as they round a corner to see a kaleidoscope of colors spilling across the rocky walls and a set of colorful crystals ahead of them… moving ever so slowly around the corner by some as yet unknown force.
