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.

F&F C3-E21 - Speed Bag Damage

Last time on Storm Kings Chaos, the Mercs 4 Hire had a lengthy conversation with Siren's newfound brother. Being informed that Siren's father did not make contact with her by her 23th birthday, the newly introduced Telemachus volunteered to travel to her and welcome her as their father usually would. Siren was informed that their father was MIA and the investigation into his disappearance was ongoing. Telemachus then informed the group that while it had being discovered that many of the guards they had dispatched in Yartar were Kraken Society agents, they still needed to keep a low profile. However, they were no longer blacklisted by the Harpers. After exchanging more info and receiving a way to contact their new liaison, the Mercs left to continue their treasure hunt. The hunt was largely successful and uneventful until they unearthed a giant porcelain mask, at which time they were set upon by a flock of monsters. Time to roll some initiative..

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!"
