F&F C3-E16 - Prestidigi-Patch-Up

Last time on Storm King's Chaos, the Mercs for Hire decided to head west after the botched but still somehow successful revenge mission. Knowing they would be likely chased after they decided to stay off the road. However before they set out Ruhn expressed that he was parting ways. His reasoning being that his very presence added danger and that they now were in hot water with at least 3 different organizations, so it would be best to split up to mitigate the danger. After saying their goodbyes the remaining Mercs traveled to Triboar. They spent the night outside the city, torturing two teens who snuck out in the night for some time alone. The following day Odie entered the town in disguise to buy supplies and offerings for the dragon they intended to consult. Meanwhile Siren was yelled at via Sending by Krowen the Archmage. Siren quickly explained the situation and profusely apologized multiple times. Krowen then told her that the Teleportation network was no longer available to them, however he would look into the Kraken Society and see if he could smooth things over. Continuing their travel the group finally arrived at the Kryptgarden Forest. Heading in the forest quickly turned from normal terrain into a strange maze of trees and briars lightly obscured by a green fog. Traveling a bit further they were soon met by the resident dragon, an Ancient Green Dragon, commonly known as Old Gnawbone. The offerings were well received and information gathered. However the dragon seemed to want more than simple offerings. After it was requested that the dragon help transport them to their next destination, the dragon expressed its desire for more entertainment and broke Arridols pendant, resulting in him transforming into a large eastern dragon. We now return to the Mercs to see what happens next.

F&F C2-E66 - A-B-3

    Picking up where we left off last time, Shirahama had been slain, Vanera reclaimed her mink, Khione, and Kasumi finally obtained the medallion she’d been accused of stealing so long ago. The Tempests settled their deal with Silver Paw and then traveled to Harpermere using the Gateway Ring Brick had in his possession. Suave decided to go with the Tempests in an attempt to lay low for a while.. Which went about as well as you would expect. Kasumi and Pez started blabbing to King Damien that they had brought a pirate into his Kingdom and was understandably miffed. But.. So far, the King seems to be ignoring Suave’s presence in lieu of the Tempest’s prior reputation. Vanera received word from Nefeli that her presence was urgently needed back in the Misty Pass, and convinced Suave to help her get there.

F&F C3-E15 - I Am Sorry... REALLY Sorry

Last we saw the Mercs for hire, they returned to the Yartar jailhouse to retrieve their target. After the hand off and exiting the town they hid out in a small wooded area to rest and then interrogate their prisoner. The interrogation did not go to plan as they found out that the weapon they sought was most likely in the hands of a captain of the guard back in Yartar. Before they could find out anything more the run away noble was suddenly in immense pain, ripping open his shirt, the party found a magic formula carved into his back and quickly growing brighter. The carving quickly denotated into a Fireball. Singed but not dead the group quickly decided to get revenge on the Warden. After reentering the city, Arridol suggested he attempt to scare the Warden by making himself appear ghostly and acting like he was there to haunt the Warden. Reasoning nor following action wasn't really discussed. After the jump scare succeeded the Warden alerted the city guard leading to lots of death, mayhem, and the creation of a lot of fatherless homes. The events did lead to the successful capture of both the warden and the Giant Slayer that the party was originally after. After which, the party made a hasty exit of the city. Upon interrogation, the group learned the warden was a lacky for yet criminal organization known as the Kraken Society. When the Group claimed to be part of the Black Network he quickly reported to his superiors who then laid the trap. We now rejoin the Mercs 4 Hire as they decide what to do next.

F&F C2-E65 - Are You the One I Think You Are?

     Picking up where we left off last time: The Tempests recruited the assistance of the pirate known as Suave to help them in taking down the infamous pirate, Shirahama. Brick, Kasumi, and Suave attempted to find out if the mink or the medallion were located in Shirahama’s residence in High Tide, but were unsuccessful. They were successful in gaining a tail however. The tailing men’s intentions were never discovered as Vanera beat one’s nose in with a door with a clever use of Thaumaturgy. After losing their tail, the party decided to visit Yo’HoBold and managed to sneak Pez into investigating Shirahama’s ship as “free labor” after Yo’HoBold’s services had been requested to fix Shirahama’s ship, which had supposedly been in a battle out at sea. Pez tried his best to sabotage her ship, but was met with a very distrustful Owlin known as, The Watchman.
     Shortly after, the Tempests decided to stop pussyfooting around and set up an ambush for the Takatari pirate. Brick cleverly portrayed himself as the property of Zaan and was almost sold to Shirahama. Using his “Middle Finger” gun in an attempt to assassinate Shirahama, a fight broke out. During which, Vanera reclaimed her mink Khione, Zaan managed to lodge a chest of gold into the chest cavity of a goblin, and Brick was clearly losing an underwater boxing match with a Giff named Reggie until the others intervened. 
    At long last, Zaan dealt the final blow to the Takatari pirate, driving his blade deep into her skull and riding her corpse into the shallows of the bay. The Watchman fled and the Giff was eventually slain. 
    Time seemed to slow, the water being held back by Zaan began rushing inward but now stood like a solid wall. A brief moment of darkness took over their vision as their consciousnesses were whisked far away back to the land of sand, heat, and desolation.. Deep into the mines of Drybell where an Illithid had prepared a ‘fungeon’ for the Tempests to enjoy. Shenanigans were had, loot was collected, and a battle against some strong Golems took place wherein the creations attacked even their creator. A bit flustered after another brush with death by the hands of his own creations, Qhip released the Tempest’s minds and sent them back to their bodies where barely a breath had passed.

F&F C3-E14 - Can We Quick Load?

Last we left the Mercs 4 Hire, they awoke to find a strange and off putting figure floating outside their rooms. After introducing himself as Dzaan he lead the group towards the dinning hall. some of the Mercs we suspicious of their guide and waiting to eat till they were sure the meal wasn't poisoned. After some more conversation, prodding and a successful History check it was discovered that the creepy figure was a Red Wizard of Thay, on the run from both his brethren and the Brotherhood in Luskan. They met again with Krowen who informed them more about the giant threat and pointed them toward some possible routes to gain more insight. After a quick stop at the in house, and family run everything shop to resupply, they travel by teleportation to Yartar. After a quick search for the Prodigal Zymorven they found him in the prison. He confessed he had murdered someone but would only help them find the weapon he took if they broke him out. The Mercs struck a deal with the warden and now return at nighfall to collect their target.

F&F C2-E64 - Pros and Constructs

The time finally came! We all got to meet in person for the first time and played D&D together! Much alcohol was consumed, dice were rolled, things were slain, and loot was attained. And yet somehow, we all survived the weekend! Go us!
Qhip'haks promised the Tempests once upon a time that he would create a "Fungeon" for them as a reward for helping to take care of the Mushroom Tender so many months ago. Mere moments after slaying Shirahama, their consciounesses were yoinked back to the far off lands of the Untamed West. What sort of tomfoolery does the friendly, yet moderately insane, Illithid have in store for the Tempests?
 
A huge shout out to Nate, Gabe, and Nym for helping with the cameras and audio. This would never have been possible without them. Or at the very least not to such a high quality.
And a big thank you to Running Pony Productions for letting us borrow some of the equipment used to record ten eejits playing D&D for five hours. They really helped make this all possible.

F&F C3-E13 - D for Dead

Last we left off, the Mercs 4 Hire had made it to the city of Silverymoon. After retrieving Peanut from his late night escapade of getting lost, the Mercs made their way back to the inn for a nights rest. At some point Ruhn slipped away from the group leaving only a note that they would return and to not wait for them. The following day the rest of the Mercs decided to explore the city before moving on to Everlund. A new map was acquired from the Map House and some knowledge was sought at the Vault of Sages. The productive day was then finished off with a trip to a bathhouse to refresh themselves. They then continued their journey to Everlund arriving with no complications. Making their way to the Moongleam Tower. They encountered to tower’s commander, the Moon Lord, and it’s resident Archmage Krowen. After exchanging information and gaining permission to use the teleportation network, the Mercs were given rooms for the night and now awaken to a new day.

F&F C2-E63 - A Well Seasoned Kobold

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests sought out the pirate known as Suave who, according to Silver Paw, had an even fiercer vendetta against Shirahama then even herself. The Kenku found them inside his own place of business, much to the delight of his subordinate, Hurgh Indurs, who hadn’t seen his captain in months. After explaining their situation and gaining his aid, they returned to Silver Paw where they learned of a certain “Babble” person they could get some further information out of. Unfortunately, this Babble person was aboard Shirahama’s ship, out on a voyage. They visited a popular haunt of Babble’s, the Sand Bar and met a few of the locals: the pretty barmaid Sadie Waters who seemed to have past reports with Suave, and a particularly enthusiastic kobold.

F&F C3-E12 - S-s-So Yeah I Was On A Boat

Last we saw our band of merry Mercs, they left Zymorven Hall to continue their travels to Everlund. They spent 2 days on the road and a night trying to find shelter, only to be assaulted by undead horrors. After returning the dead back to their eternal sleep, they continued their travels. Arriving in Silverymoon, they made plans to visit the many places of knowledge and learning. Unfortunately, Peanut got lost and had to be recovered. As the party made their way back to the inn for some rest, Ruhn seemed to spot something that unsettled him.
