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.

F&F C2-E74 - Just end him PLEASE

Picking up where we last left off a few weeks ago, the Tempests were venturing deep into the Tepetl Mountains to search for the components needed to fix Brick’s core. Along the way, they picked up an unlikely ally, Moriko, a local legend/urban myth/cryptid, take your pick. She agreed to help the Tempests search on the condition that they also help her discover why the Elementals are so riled up. Part way through their journey, G3-MENI was called away and left in the middle of the night. Making their way around the region, they learned of the location of a particularly big, ANGY elemental that may be just what the Artificer ordered. Sure enough, a huge elemental made of boiling hot water assailed the group, but in the end was no match for them and was slain with a good ol’ KALI MAH by Brick.

F&F C3-E23 - Graaaaaaavity

Last time on Storm King's Chaos, The Mercs 4 Hire ambushed a group of poor defenseless forest natives. They slaughtered them to a woman, and burnt part of the forest in the process. Making their way further in the forest, the Mercs found the Grandfather Tree. They also found the Dryads of this forest, discovering that the Dryads of the High Forest do not claim the whole forest as their domain only the parts they hold sacred. After some negotiation, the Dryads allowed Peanut to search the roots of the giant tree for the relic. After a successful retrieval and a hasty exit the Mercs left for the next relic location, Stone Stand. The Mercs arrived in the twilight hours to find this location teeming with ghosts. Deciding to wait till morning to deal with whatever dangers lie in wait, we now rejoin them after a nights rest.

F&F C3-E22 - I Relay That

Last Time on Storm Kings Chaos, the Mercs 4 Hire fought off a flock of griffons only to find those that landed the killing blow were cursed to have an insatiable hunger for horse and only horse. After a quick detour to the Dryads to remove the curse, they were off again to the next treasure hunt. Making quick work of Flint Rock, the party travelled to the High Forest in search of the Grandfather Tree. After determining a lack of Dryad presence, the party started traversing the forest. As they made camp they were alerted to the sound of movement in the brush. Quickly dosing the fire and hiding, they spotted a group of Uthgardt patrolling the woods. Deciding that there can't be any witnesses if no ones alive, The Mercs ambushed the innocent natives.

F&F C2-E73 - Mother Fluffer

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests set forth into the Tepetl Mountains to start searching for elemental cores powerful enough to repair their companion, Brick. With the aid of G3-MENI, they were able to teleport across the sea into the Itiko Region to begin their quest. G3-MENI was able to introduce the Tempests to the Commander in charge of the region and shortly after, set forth into the treacherous spires. They stumbled upon a unique Ooze and with the aid of Moriko, squished it into a puddle of goo. Moriko agreed to aid the Tempests in their quest so long as they helped figure out why the elementals were becoming so aggressive. With the tentative truce in place, six of them set forth to look for clues as to the whereabouts of a large elemental and to keep their peepers peepled for any sign of why the locals were so riled up. After dealing with some ornery kobolds and meeting with some pleasant soldiers, they had their first lead: A large elemental sighting on the other side of the Mokeupa. Traveling further around the Mokuepa, Kasumi and Pez became incredibly hostile and irate, snapping and yelling at everyone and everything. Curing the pair of them, the Tempests carried on, being a bit more cautious than before. Though perhaps not quite as careful as they should have been. Crossing another rope bridge, the party was attacked by a trio of elementals.
