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.

F&F C3-E26 - Be Our Guest

Last time on Storm King's Chaos, The Mercs for Hire returned to Mirabar to ask for the aid of Telemachus. After sharing information, Telemachus introduced the group to the eldest of Siren's Siblings, Patrina. With the help of the two elder siblings, The Mercs were able to locate and communicate with Count Thullen, an apparent sympathizer to the Storm Giants. Upon contact Thullen agreed to meet and help if possible. After some preparations with the help of Patrina, the group sailed through the sky to the cloud castle of Countess Sansuri. Upon arrival Arridol hung back to fulfill a promise, but quickly caught up to the group as they made contact with Thullen. Now face to face, the cloud giant led to the Mercs to Sansuri's chambers to locate the conch of teleportation. After a thorough search of the chambers it was discovered that the Countess keeps the conch in a personal pocket dimension. Seeing no other course but to try and persuade the Countess the Group now heads to meet the Cloud Giant Lord.

F&F C2-E77 - They're Djinn Trouble

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests have managed to slay and collect the core of a Geyser Elemental, taking the first step needed to fix Brick’s malfunctioning core. Their journey through the Tepetl Mountains took them through the Tlahko Region and up towards Pakyotl, where it is said that a multitude of Air Elementals dominate the towering spires. Presenting the letter written by Quetza, the commander of the Pakyotl region, Temoc, informed the Tempests that a large storm would soon be passing through, and with it, a large Air Elemental known to travel with the eye of the storm. Temoc cautioned that this would be a dangerous venture, informing them that there would be little solid ground to stand on to fight. Their only other option would be to hunt down a rare creature known as a Ketsali that produces magical crystals naturally all over its body. To harvest these crystals would kill the beast however, and it is considered bad luck to do so. The Tempests set out into the Western Triangle of the Pakyotl region in search of a Ketsali with the hopes of finding a peaceful solution before the storm blows through.
We rejoin them now as they discovered a small alcove in the rocks with a metal flask sitting upon a stone altar and a voice ringing out “And just what do you think you’re doing in my grove?”

F&F C3-E25 - Don't Eat with your Mouth Full

Last time on Storm Kings Chaos, the Merc's 4 Hire had reached the end of their scavenger hunt and returned to the Oracle. They returned a few of the artifacts to the oracle, but kept some of the more powerful ones for themselves. After having a few more questions answered and choosing a giant lord to track down, they made to leave and continue their mission. This simple exit was interrupted by the appearance of a Ancient Blue Dragon, a newly discovered puppeteer of the chaos that had enveloped the Giants. Harshnag instructed the group to flee and save themselves as he engaged in battle with the draconic terror. The group attempted to give some assistance but quickly realized they were only in the way of the titanic battle. As the group retreated, Harshnag made a last ditch effort to trap the dragon by triggering the collapse of the ancient temple. As the group made their narrow escape, they looked on as an entire mountain came crashing down, mourning the fate of their ally. With heavy hearts they travel to Mirabar to plan with Telemachus.

FnF C2 OneShot 5 - A Favor Owed

We hope you enjoy this "One Shot" within the Archeron Universe!
A clever fae has collected many favors from mortals over the years and it is now time to collect on a few.
Deep in the Elven Forest of Alari Dorei, at the foot of the Misty Pass mountains is rumored to be a small rift between the planes where the ‘Spiritual Tear’ was dropped. The ‘Spiritual Tear’ is said to have the power to unveil hidden truths, see through lies, reveal the deepest desires of one's heart, and connect the bearer with the spirits of ancient beings to gain their knowledge. It is a source of profound insight, capable of granting visions that can guide individuals towards their destinies or unveil secrets that have long been obscured.
For obvious reasons, the fae trickster desires this object above all else and is willing to cash in some of the favors owed to it for such a venture.

F&F C2-E76 - A Moral Dilemma

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests have ventured into the Tepetl Mountains within the Aztlan empire in search of elemental cores that could be used to fix Brick's malfunctioning ticker. The Tempests managed to collect a core from a Geyser Elemental and defended themselves valiantly from an ambush set by some cultists belonging to the Order of the Transcendant Maw. They returned to the Itiko base camp and relayed everything they'd seen and learned. Moriko got some real clothes for the first time and had some fan girls gush over her existance. Kasumi was denied in her attempt at using her 'pretty girl privilage' while in search of some soldiers whos names she'd forgotten. Soon enough, they headed off in a cargo ship towards the center of the Tepetl Mountains, to a region known as Tlahko.

F&F C2-E75 - We're looking for a Guy

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests have ventured into the Tepetl Mountains within the Aztlan empire, a unique mountain chain that rises up out of the ocean. It’s a dangerous place, strewn with rickety rope bridges and home to a multitude of elemental creatures. The Tempests have slain a huge Geyser Elemental and retrieved its core in order to fix Brick’s ticker. A good first step towards their goal, but three other cores are still needed. On their way back, the Tempests were ambushed by a group of cultists known as the Order of the Transcendent Maw. Their goals are as of yet unknown, but they seem to know of the Tempests and are becoming more and more irate with their interfering ways. After a messy struggle, the cultists were defeated and a curious magical object was discovered on their persons, a Teleportation Stamp. What could this item mean? What are the cultists doing in the Tepetl Mountains? Many questions that need answers..

F&F C3-E24 - Return to the Oracle

Last Time on Storm Kings Chaos: The Mercs 4 Hire awoke from a slightly restless sleep in the face of the phantoms and spirits they might have to face. To their surprise and relief, the spirits of the graveyard seemed content to watch as the Mercs dug for their buried treasure. After exhuming a giant skull giving off faint traces of necromancy, the spirits changed from their gaunt forms to the visage of their prime and seemed to thank the Mercs as they ascended to the afterlife. The Mercs continued their hunt but found the next burial mound already pilfered. Deciding the relic wasn't necessary and the other grave robbers not worth following they continued to the last burial sight. They found it well guarded but sadly no match for the combat might of the Mercs. After a strange encounter involving a spellcaster a few berserkers and a Manticore, the Mercs unearthed their final relic. We come back as they start their journey back to the Oracle.
