F&F C2-E72 - Kasumi is Theffin

The Tempests have made it to Aztlan with the goal of fixing Brick’s malfunctioning core. A sizable task lies ahead of them however, the materials needed can only be found within large elementals that roam through the Tepetl Mountains off the coast of Aztlan. The mountains are a range of gigantic spires that stretch high out of the ocean depths, leaving no solid ground to stand on but the treacherous peaks and rickety rope bridges that span between them. G3-MENI transported the Tempests to the Itiko outpost to start their search, an area she was fairly familiar with. The Tempests took a flying skiff that G3-MENI chartered, to redeem an owed favor, and were dropped off near a location marked on their map: a pink leafy tree. As the party traveled through the undergrowth, they came upon an odd looking rock which Kasumi crept forward to investigate. Suddenly, a figure dropped down from the canopy to try and warn the Tempests, but it was too late. The party were attacked by a slime that seemed to repel most attacks, but eventually prevailed (Even after Hambjerger died several times). After the fight, Zaan rounded on their new guest and interrogated them. The figure was known as Moriko, or as the locals referred to her, The Silent Blossom.

F&F C2-E71 - Splash Zone

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had traveled to the southern part of the Ayeran continent to the Aztlan Empire, where Brick’s creator, Amantecatl Chimalli, could fix his malfunctioning core. Along the way they battled a fierce creature that had never been seen or documented before. Something that seemed to have been sent specifically by Saedhir to capture SOMEONE in particular. They reached Chichimec by traveling upon an airship: A relatively new invention that was slowly becoming more prevalent in the Aztlan region. The Tempests spoke with Chimalli and Borgir, Chimalli’s dwarven friend who helped create Brick,  about what needed to be done to fix their mechanical companion. Into the Tepetl Mountains they must go, where the cores of several elementals must be collected as materials used to fix Brick’s core. G3-MENI appeared shortly after and introduced herself to the party, and her brother, for the first time. She promised that she would take them to the mountains after a night’s rest to avoid crossing the ocean again and risking another seabound attack.

FnF C2 OneShot 4 - Ariminum Arena

We hope you enjoy this longer "One Shot" within the Archeron Universe!
 
Faustus stood in the heart of the Ariminum Colosseum, surrounded by towering walls that echoed with excitement for the upcoming bloodshed. The anticipation hung in the air like a tangible force, and the expectant crowd gazed down upon the sandy arena below. 
"Friends.. Countrymen!” he began “Today, we stand at the threshold of greatness, on the precipice of an event that will etch its name into the annals of time!" Faustus's voice, strong and commanding, resonated through the vast colosseum. 
"As the sun casts its golden gaze upon this sacred arena, we bear witness to a spectacle unlike any other! Four tasks, four trials that will test the mettle of the bravest, the strongest, and the most indomitable gladiators in our glorious Empire!"

F&F C2-E70 - New Siblings

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests had finally made it across the Alboran Sea, defeated a mysterious beast that had supposedly been sent after them, and are now in the Aztlanian port city of Chalco. The first stop was to a bathhouse where they could clean themselves up after being on the open ocean for the better part of a month. The Jug of Many Things was passed around and Pez was a bit unlucky, falling asleep for what should have been two days. They then found a very uniquely styled Inn that pandered to five different regions across the world. First going to the Takatari wing, Kasumi introduced them all to her culture and in the process, Zaan, being the dick he is, force fed Pez some Sake and inadvertently caused the Kobold to vomit up the mix of alcohol and the remaining magic brew. Zaan and Brick stayed in the Rokasing wing, enjoying a night revelry, fighting, and hefty amounts of meat, while Kasumi and Pez stayed in the Takatari wing where things were calm, peaceful, and quite colorful. After a night’s rest, they collected their wagon that had been retrieved from the beached ship, collected Cassie, and began asking around the city for how to get to Chichimec. Along the way they witnessed a fantastical sight! A ship sailing through the air! Perhaps this was a quicker way to get across the empire.

F&F C3-E20 - Grave Robbing

Last time on Storm King Chaos, the Mercs 4 Hire met the ghost of a giant trapped in the Oracle's Chamber. With his guidance they were able to ask many questions and get some answers over the course of two days. The Oracle revealed to them more detail about why the ordining was broken and set them on the path to restoring it. However, before helping them further, the Oracle required that they prove thier worthiness. The Mercs were tasked with retrieving Relics, stolen and buried by ancient humans. The journey seemed to be long ahead of them, as the burial mounds were scattered across the north. To their surprise, that problem was somewhat solved as they found a airship waiting for them outside the temple. A small group of Dragon Cultists had been sent by one of the Ancient Dragons of the North. After accepting their help and quickly retrieving the first of many Relics, the Mercs decided to make a stop in Mirabar to Meet with the Harper agent sent by Krowen to inform them of the current investigation of the Kraken Society. After the Agent found them, he led them to a secret hideout, pour everyone drinks and revealed himself as Siren's brother. Lets see what happens at this messed up family reunion.

F&F C2-E69 (NICE) - Hostile Hostel

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests set forth across the Alboran Sea to travel halfway across the world to get to the far off Aztlan Empire to have Brick’s creators fix his malfunctioning core. Charting the Red Wave, a merchant vessel transporting wine and other spirits, they anchored down their wagon home and set off for their month-long journey. Along the way they were assailed by an as yet unknown entity, a gargantuan purple tentacled creature that seemed intent on dragging them all below the waves. Fending off the attack, the Tempests could do nothing but lose sleep in paranoia as the sailors did everything in their power to outrun the creature. Consulting with Fern, they found nothing matching the creature’s description and only discovered the creature’s name through a magic spell: Saedhir’s Grasp. Brick then beseeched the ocean goddess Ceto for aid, and to let her know that a creature was running amuck within her realm. On the condition of swearing silence for her aid, she gifted the mechanical being a shell that he was to break when her aid was needed.
The Tempests made good progress across the waves with a steady wind that seemed to always be blowing them into their intended path. That is until they happened upon a cluster of reefs that slowed their progress immensely. The creature had been following them and was now gaining while the ship slowly navigated the treacherous reefs. With only minor damage to the ship, the rudder being completely ripped off, they once again rushed off to their final destination: The Aztlan port city of Chalco. The Red Wave ground to a halt into the harbor and Kasumi NOPED right off the boat while Pez checked on Cassie below decks and both Brick and Zaan prepared for a fight at the back of the now beached vessel.
Sure enough, Saedhir’s Grasp attacked the party once more. But the Tempests were not so easily cowed and laid an absolute BEAT DOWN upon it. Brick shattered the shell and as the creature attempted to flee yet again, the waters receded and a massive tidal wave threw it onto dry land where the Tempests were able to finish it off for good.

F&F C3-E19 - So many questions

Last time on Storm Kings Chaos, The Mercs 4 Hire drove off the barbarians and entered the temple of the All-Father. After slaying a resident monster, surviving a few traps, and deciphering an ancient puzzle, the Mercs entered the chamber of the Oracle. There they found a dead giant. As they attempted to move the body out of the way, a voice asked them to treat him with respect as the giant's ghost materialized over his body.

F&F C2-E68 - Squid Games

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests had set out to cross the Alboran Sea to reach the far off lands of Aztlan so that they could try and fix their mechanical companion, Brick. They chartered a ship called the Red Wave, a wine and spirits cargo vessel which happened to be the only one large enough to be able to transport the Tempest’s fantastical wagon home. This was not to be a carefree journey however. Their ship was attacked by a gargantuan purple, tentacled beast. The Tempests were not so easily cowed and Brick laid down a beat down of over 90 points of damage which helped to bring the creature low. Just when the fight seemed to be won, the creature seemed to shed its skin and fled back into the choppy waters. With the crew of the Red Wave and the survivors of the other crushed vessel thoroughly spooked, they started making a speedy getaway towards their destination, all too eager to put as much distance between themselves and the mysterious beast. Not to be caught off guard again, the Tempests sought the aid of Fern to try and identify the creature. Through a sleepless night, Fern’s research came up empty. Only by magical means was he able to discern the creature’s identity: Saedhir’s Grasp.

F&F C3-E18 - COWARDS

Last time on Storm Kings Chaos, the Murks 4 Hire had made their way around the Evermoors into the fallen city of Nesme on their journey to find Harshnag the giant. There, they found news of a clandestine meeting between the Black Network and Giants soon to happen. Deciding to skirt by undetected, they succeeded in intercepting Harshnag. However, the frost giant was headed towards the meeting to break it up and claim another head in his fight against his evil brethren. Always up for a fight, especially with a new giant ally, the group accompanied Harshnag and laid waste to the meeting. After the fighting had ended, Odie was still rampaging much like he had in Yartar, once again injuring his own allies. After knocking him out, the group deduced the problem to be his axe, evidently a cursed weapon. Tossing it into the depths of Nesme, the group restrained their friend and continued north, back into the Lurkwood. Having followed proper protocol, the Dryads welcomed them with open arms. The Matriarch was able to cleanse Odie’s mind of his curse and he sheepishly came to his senses. After much needed rest, the group followed Harshnag deep into the mountain passes. After a few days of searching they found a secret passage to the entrance of the Eye of Annam, the Temple to the All-Father, and home to the Oracle of the Giants.

F&F C2-E67 - Scareroused

Picking up where we left off, the Tempests saw off their long time travel companion, Vanera, to continue her journey alone to her homeland at the bequest of her deity. The Tempests then gained passage upon a ship that transports wine and spirits across the Alboran Sea. Their wagon anchored down and preparations made, the Tempests set sail upon the Red Wave. A purple clad figure was glimpsed upon the docks as the ship set out, assumed to have been Zephyrus keeping tabs on the party. A few days passed on the open sea and the Red Wave came upon a friendly vessel. As pleasantries were traded between Celia and the other ship’s captain, an unseen creature attacked and sank the other vessel before pulling the hapless sailors down into the depths.
