Fools & Flagons

Last we left off on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests launched a rescue mission to save some locals that had been consumed by a massive sinkhole. Going deep into the earth beneath the Kudong Harbor, they traversed through winding tunnels that looped back on themselves, fought off vicious creatures that lurked in pitch black waterways, and eventually found nearly twenty survivors from the surface; One of them being Haru, the older brother of Tamami, an elf girl whom the Tempests had befriended earlier. Learning as much as they could from what the survivors had experienced, there was a massive worm-like beast digging these tunnels with its offspring able to dissolve flesh and armor. After a bit of back-and-forth, the Tempests decided that rescuing the survivors came before the murder. Moriko wild shaped into a large spider that was able to crawl up and out through one of the many sinkholes to reach the surface. Acting like a creepy, hairy taxi to get everyone out.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last we left off, the Tempests had delved deep into the ground beneath the Kudong Harbor in Takatari in search of lost locals who had been consumed by a massive sink hole. One of these missing locals is Haru, the older brother of Tamami, a young elven girl they befriended. Through completely submerged tunnels, winding pathways, and large insectoid creatures that lurk in the dark, the Tempests searched for more survivors but have found only death so far. The party got a little turned around trying to navigate the twisting tunnels and ended up where they began. Kasumi started leaving marks to keep them from doubling back on themselves again and soon, they discovered a pathway laid with cobble stones.. Something clearly made by intelligent hands... After coming across what appeared to be a mushroom farm, the party decided to take a short rest to recoup and treat their wounds. Lakin took the opportunity to explore a bit further and came across an outpost of some kind.. The faintest flickering light can be seen on the other side of the small tower.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Picking up where we left off last time, the Tempests were helping to cure a rampant sickness that had befallen upon a coastal town along the Kudong Harbor in Takatari. Upon arriving, they encountered a small elven child named Tamami who bore a striking resemblance to Moriko. Tamami's parents were bedridden with the plague sweeping the area and not in proper states of mind to answer the probing questions from the Tempests. Tamami's older brother Haru had gone out to fish and not returned. Fearing the worst, Moriko consulted her ancestral deity Aerin who warned of an approaching disaster. A massive sinkhole opened up below a neighboring village, swallowing multiple homes, ships, and several hapless residents. Diving down, the Tempests rescued as many as they were able, though many were still missing. Assuming the worst for Haru, the Tempests returned to the sink hole to go as far in as they could in search of the missing elf and found themselves navigating an expansive system of tunnels carved into the rock. Using Pez's superb ranger senses, he guided them to the sound of flowing water and came across a pair of corpses next to an underground stream. The corpse warned of beasts in the dark that had attacked them. Zaan immediately cast light on a rock and chucked it into the water, inevitably triggering a short skirmish with some insectoid creatures that lurked in the dark waterway.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last we left off, the Tempests were nearing the end of their quest to deliver healing moss to a blighted town along the coast of Kudong Harbor in Takatari. Along the way they picked up a new ally, Lakin, who had promised to aid in their journey if they would return the favor in the near future. As they help distribute the healing brew made from the Yutsushige moss, they encountered a family of elves with a child that bore a striking resemblance to one of their own, the orphaned Moriko. With many questions being asked, and receiving only partial answers from the sick and somewhat delirious father of the household, the Tempests busied themselves with distributing the cure to the rest of the village. The son of the Ito's, Haru, had supposedly gone out to fish earlier that morning and as dusk settled in, he had not yet returned. Tamami, the young daughter, said that this was not terribly unusual, as her brother sometimes took a rest out on the water and would drift to nearby towns along the currents. Moriko however was a bit ill at ease and made the tough choice to meditate towards her ancestral deity, Aerin. The elven god spoke clearly to Moriko and warned of impending danger, though remained somewhat cryptic as to who or why. Fearing the worst, Moriko convinced the others with minimal effort to help her try and find Haru, the only one currently unaccounted for. The tempests then broke the cardinal rule and split the party, eventually leaving Kasumi alone to have a lovely cup of tea with Tamami, while the rest of the Tempests battled fires and dove headlong into a gaping sink hole that had swallowed part of the neighboring coastline to rescue survivors.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last time of the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had successfully retrieved some moss that supposedly had incredible restorative and healing properties from the Yutsushige Forest after proving their worth to a trio of treants. Their next step was to bring the moss to a village along the coast of Kudong Harbor where an entire stretch was plagued by a savage illness. When they found their way to the Calm Water Piers, Lakin confronted a small child that had been shadowing them through some side alley ways. A young elven girl by the name of Ito Tamami. Somehow the large Orc Warlock convinced the girl that he was no threat and offered to guide her home. Lakin sent up a signal in the form of a magic icicle and shortly after, Moriko arrived to help in what she thought was a fight, only to find Lakin with a child... in a dark alleyway.. Nothing suspicious here. Tamami was sent on her way with Lakin and Moriko returning to the cart, though unknowingly without Fluff, Moriko's companion MothKat. - With the help of Kasumi, Moriko found Fluff sleeping in the home of the elven girl, unharmed and perfectly content. Yoinking Fluff back to her side, they returned to the wagon and the next morning sought out the local Temple to Shenshe were the priestess began working with the moss to create a cure. Returning to Tamami's home, the Tempests offered her parents the first batch of the cure that would hopefully aid in their recovery and perhaps cleanse the whole village.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests ventured deep into Yutsushige forest in search of a cure-all moss that supposedly grew on the roots of a "Weeping Sequoia". Along the way, the party discovered that they were going in circles despite Moriko's ability to know which way wasn't North and decided to take a rest before trying again. Some time during the last watch, the group was separated by a trio of Treants who wished to test them and see if they were worthy of being allowed so deep within their territory. Passing with flying colors, the Tempests were permitted entry into the Treant's Grove, their most sacred area. Lakin took charge and waded across the small lake to retrieve the moss they had come for while the others spoke with Ironroot, the leader of the Treants, to see what they were doing about the blight ravaging the country. Ironroot revealed that the blight had not yet encroached very far into their territory and was therefore, none of their concern.  - Once the moss was collected, the Tempests were escorted from the forest with a few gifts given to them by the Treants and were given permission to visit whenever they pleased. Once again, the Tempests hit the road and then realized that they had no idea WHERE or WHO they needed to deliver the moss to (and Tanaka was of no help either). Choosing to head towards the far Western part of the Kudong Harbor, Dragon's Shore, they worked their way East until they found where they needed to be: Calm Water Piers. Reaching the border between the two regions, they encountered a "dead zone" where the Redguard had evacuated a wide stretch of the village to keep the disease from spreading.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests ventured deep into Yutsushige forest in search of a cure-all moss that supposedly grew on the roots of a "Weeping Sequoia". After a short skirmish with a group of Trolls, the party proceeded with a little more caution. Soon, the light in the forest dimmed, the canopy blocking the sunlight until it was almost complete darkness between the trunks of the trees. Thankfully, Moriko has a firm grasp on directions and kept them on track. Or so they thought. Passing by a series of carvings in the trunks of the Sequoias, they passed by similar reliefs, leading them to believe they were going in circles despite Moriko's supreme sense of direction. Beginning to hear and see things deep in the forest, the Tempests decided to rest for the evening and start strong the next dawn. At the end of the final watch, Lakin and Pez realized the Kasumi and Moriko were nowhere to be seen. When trying to locate Zaan, they saw him being carried away by a large hand. Before the two could do anything, they were surrounded by a thick wall of thorns.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Previously on the Tales of Archeron, a new addition was added to the Tempests' roster: the Orc Warlock, Lakin. They encountered the Orc along the Western road leading away from Chunsu to the far off mountains that divides the continent in two. Lakin pledged his skills to their cause for as long as it took if they would promise to assist the Orc in his own daunting task: the destruction of a few orc clans. Luckily for Lakin, the Tempests had their own reasons for visiting the Orc Tribes in the near future. But for now, their goal lay deep within the Sequoia forest in the Yutsushige region. A special moss supposedly grows there beneath a Weeping Sequoia that has medicinal properties.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had gotten into a bit of trouble in the capital city of Chunsu, deep in the heart of Takatari. To pay for their crimes, they were placed under Country arrest and sentenced to community service. But they weren't tasked with cleaning up streets or helping the local orphanage.. They were given a supposedly very dangerous task that the Shogun had been loathe to risk his own manpower for. The Tempests were sent off to the mountains far to the west of Chunsu into the sequoia forests of the Yutsushige lumberyard. Their goal was to find a special moss that grew on the roots of the Weeping Sequoia. This moss was renowned for its medicinal properties, and was sorely needed to help cure a plague that was currently being contained in a harbor town to the North. Along the way, their babysitter, Tanaka, was nearly killed by a malevolent spirit, but with the help of a new orcish ally known as Lakin, Tanaka was rescued and the Tempests continued along their journey. Lakin's help was not to be completely free however. In return for helping them on their journey, Lakin also had a task that he needed help doing in an area where a feathery friend was supposedly waiting for the Tempests to rescue.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Picking up where we last left off, The Tempests had been fairly naughty in the Takatari dynasty, murdering a sizable amount of Redguards who were attempting to apprehend them under the orders of the Shogun's Chief Advisor. After some hefty reprimanding from their acquaintance/kidnapee Tanaka, Kasumi decided that she would turn herself in the next morning. This was a lie however, as Kasumi slipped off in the middle of the night to return the medallion personally. Successfully slipping into the palace grounds, Kasumi was unaware that she had been followed and a short Benny Hill Scene occurred where she tried to shake her pursuer. That is until he threatened the safety of her friends. Submitting to the Kenku, Kasumi was brought before the Shogun and the medallion was returned to its rightful owner. Much to her dismay, Kasumi was not allowed to speak her mind and attempt to explain her decisions, and was instead thrown into the Yamadoku Prison to await her fellow Tempests who had been ordered captured by the Shogun. With surprisingly little hostility, the Tempests were apprehended and brought before the Shogun. Though the Shogun wished them executed, the Chief Advisor Okazaki convinced the Shogun to make use of their skills instead with Community Service. Their first task: Retrieve the moss that grows under the Weeping Sequoia and bring it to the Harbor Town that is currently quarantined and suffering from a plague.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last we left off on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests got themselves into a bit of a pickle. Early in the day, Tanaka had come calling saying that their presence was requested. Upon exiting the wagon, they discovered their home had been surrounded by a contingent of Redguard soldiers. Tanaka introduced the Chief Advisor of the Shogun, Okazaki, and then slipped into the Redguard ranks. The Chief Advisor demanded that the Shogun's amulet be given to him or else. The Tempests chose "else". A very one-sided battle ensued that ended with them kidnapping Tanaka and escaping in their wagon home. After a very thorough scolding from Tanaka, they let him go free. Wracked with guilt and confusion, Kasumi declared that they would be returning in the morning to turn themselves in.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last we left off on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had a wonderfully spicy dinner date with their new friend, Tanaka, and learned a bit more of the dire nature of things around Chunsu and Takatari as a whole. The next day was filled with wandering shopping as Kasumi had many of her fellows buy clothing that would help them to fit in a bit better with the locals and Brick found himself a slew of books to read to continue his research of the arcane. Taking some time to relax within the city, the Tempests awaited word from Taiko Suki on whether they'd be able to meet with the Shogun or not. We rejoin them now as Tanaka greets them in their own home, announcing Taiko Suki's desire to speak with the Tempests.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last we left off on the Tales of Archeron, (Many moons ago) the Tempests had traveled halfway across the Takatari Empire to the capital city of Chunsu to finally lay to rest Kasumi's redemption quest, only to be faced with hardship, horror, and a significant amount of red tape. Barred from seeing the Shogun personally, the Tempests received help from a local Redguard named Tanaka to set up a meeting with Taiko Suki, the Overseer of the People. They met with her to see if there was any way to gain an audience with the Takatari ruler. Not terribly hopeful, Taiko Suki agreed to speak with those above her to have an audience arranged if possible. Now left to their own devices, the Tempests wandered the city of Chunsu until they received word from Taiko Suki. We rejoin the Tempests now as they wait for their hot dinner date with Tanaka.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last we left off on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had made their way into Kasumi's homeland of Takatari, but not the verdant landscape she was expecting to see. Dead and dying fields, barren farmlands, malnourished wildlife, and aggressive local monsters greeted them each day. Concerned for the well being of her home, Kasumi urged Cassie to travel day and night to reach their destination as quickly as possible, the capitol city Chunsu. After a brief battle against a group of giants the day before, the Tempests arrived at the outskirts of Chunsu where they received directions from a local as to how they could enter the city proper.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests descended into Takatari after encountering the two deities, Tlazocoatl and Shenshe, atop their mountain home where they gave their advice, blessings, and gifts to aid them on their journey forward. Making landfall, Kasumi became concerned with the state of her homeland. Much of the grass and vegetation is dead or dying. The vast farmlands are barren and there are few souls traveling the roadways. With a growing sense of unease, Kasumi asked Cassie to continue traveling throughout the day and night on their way to Chunsu. The Tempests were greeted with more and more images of the sickened land: from malnourished wolves, to a pile of corpses not far from the roadside. Along the way, their wagon was hit by a severe earthquake that dislodged many items inside, they encountered a chest weasel that seemed to feed off of frustration and departed after giving the Tempests a few gifts for their efforts, and they came upon a giant hole in the ground surrounded by a handful of locals peering down within.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

From the icy north to the High Forest, from depths of the ocean to the barren desert, the goofy, rag tag group of somehow highly efficient adventurers known as the Mercs for Hire have traveled nearly the width and breadth of the northern Sword Coast. After finding themselves in the midst of great turmoil and catastrophe the Mercs became the central players in a struggle between all of giant kind, as each clan fought to establish themselves as the greatest in their hierarchy. After a perilous journey involving dragons, oracles, krakens, and of course, giants, the group has reached their final challenge in this chapter of their lives. A final showdown with an ancient blue dragon, Iymrith, the Doom of the Desert, and the instigator of the larger than life troubles that plague the region.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

As we proceed into a new chapter we'll take a quick look back on what has transpired on The Tales of Archeron, The Tempests had traveled to Aztlan so they could fix their companion Brick who had a faulty core. Traveling and fighting through treacherous oceanic mountains, the Tempests sought out the necessary magical stones, and subsequently discovered some interfering cultists skulking about, and gained a new companion, Moriko - The Silent Blossom. Though they were unable to discover their motives the Tempests thwarted the cultists they came across and reported their presence to the Aztlan military. After killing and unkilling a rare creature to retrieve the final stones needed to craft Brick's new core, they returned to the mainland to find that Chichimec had been attacked by the same Cultists, damaging many of the forges within, slaying their beast of burden Cassie, and kidnapping both G3-MENI and Borgrir. With Chimali injured during the attack, Pez was an incredible asset in helping complete Brick's rebuild, updating not only his core, but his entire physical being. The ritual to transfer Brick's consciousness to his new body went off without a hitch... except for Brick attempting to make a joke that went off "swimmingly". With almost no time to prepare, the Empress of Aztlan, an Aarakocra named Izel, visited Chichimec to personally check in on the repairs and to meet the heroes who uncovered the cultist's meddling. Just in time for the Cultists to meddle once again with the Tempest's previous nemesis, Zephyrus. To complicate things further, another Greim joined the fray, but the Tempests were not to be bested and wiped the Cultists, and Saedhir's beast, off the face of Archeron... But not without casualties on their side as well. Hambjerger was slain during the fray. The Tempests accepted the Empress' offer to bring them back to Colatl to reward their good deeds and along the way, Pez had a heart to heart with Coyote about the loss of his little feathered friend. Accepting Coyote's deal, Hambjerger was revived within the Orc Lands and it is now up to Pez to overcome his fear to find his companion. Performing a ritual provided to them by Chimali, Cassie's spirit was infused into their wagon home, dubbing it "Cassie's Sanctuary". Though it unnerved a few in the party, their wagon home was now self propelling and sentient. The Tempests spent a few days in Colatl, the capital city of Aztlan, and were heralded as heroes to the empire and Moriko was introduced into civilization and the wonderful past time of candle licking. Visiting the temple to the local deity, a few of the Tempests sought out guidance and received some very clear directions. Following the whims of Tlazocoatl, the Tempests headed North towards Takatari with a slight detour up the Dragon Lover's Mountain where they were visited by both Tlazocoatl and Shenshe in the divine flesh. It was here that the Tempests received a blessing from the deities, Kasumi was given all of her tails back plus a curious vision, and Brick was gifted with a scale from Tlazocoatl to help aid in his desire to protect his family. - We rejoin the Tempests now as their skyship slowly descends down into the land of Takatari.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

  Last time on The Tales of Archeron, The Tempests enjoyed a few extra days living in the capitol city Colatl. They checked on their orders from the various Aztlan tradesmen and even enjoyed an afternoon of pampering at the Sunset Bathhouse. Soon enough, their audience with the Empress was set and they met early in the morning to, much to their horror, address the entirety of Colatl. While Moriko and Kasumi froze up like deer in headlights, Pez and Brick stepped forward to say a few words towards the citizenry and seemed to have been met with excitement and approval. The Tempests then joined Empress Izel to a lavish breakfast, wherein Pez educated the Aztlan nobles into the finer arts of Western music.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

    Last time on The Tales of Archeron, we had a bit of a shopping episode! Brick stayed behind in Tolani Castle to learn more about his heritage and the guards he was modeled after while the other Tempests set out into the city to see what sort of mischief they could get into. Conveniently, a tour guide was assigned to them known as Mister Yoshi, a rather tall halfling of questionable age and limitless eccentricities. Odd as the guide might have been, he led the Tempests around Colatl without fault, getting them to their desired locations with minimal dawdling. Items were ordered, food was purchased, drinks were downed, and candles were licked. It was a rather chaotic first day in the Aztlan capital.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

Last we left off, the Mercs 4 Hire were finalizing their plan to hunt down the elusive ship know as the Morkoth. Upon deciding the best course was to use all their resources, they hired a ship through the Harpers and brought along their new dragon friend, Felgolos. Upon arriving at the general area the ship was said to be hiding in the group split up, covering more ground to find their quarry. Before long the Morkoth was sighted and the group quickly converged on the enemy. After a drawn out battle, the crew was dispatched. Hekaton was freed and quickly calmed by Siren, lest he sink the ship himself in his rage at being held prisoner. Another captive was also uncovered, Siren's father, the Silver Tongue. After taking an hour to rest and for peanut to re-atune to the conch of teleportation. The group felt something hit the ship with enough force to shake it. They watch in horror as tentacles large enough to encircle the boat slowly started to pull the ship under the waves. Acting fast, Peanut teleported everyone back to Maelstrom, where we rejoin our heroes as they tumble to the floor in a heap...   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

     Last time on The Tales of Archeron, with Pez obtaining a new quest from Coyote to find his companion Hambjerger, the Tempests venture onward to the capitol city of Aztlan, Colatl. Along the way, Pez completed the ritual to infuse Cassie's soul into the Wagon, dubbing it "Cassie's Sanctuary". A few of the party members were perturbed by the disembodied voice of their former beast of burden, but seemed to be getting more used to their now living home.       Arriving in Colatl, the Empress Izel informed the party that they could expect to hear from her in a few days time as far as their reward was concerned.       We rejoin them now as they are set loose upon the city of Colatl to explore to their heart's content.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our intro jingle.

     Last time on The Tales of Archeron, another Greim, Saedhir's Wrath, was supposedly slain after eating some of Empress Izel's Royal Guards and more importantly Hambjerger. Moriko's sharp eyes noticed a shape moving through the trees and gave chase, eventually tracking down and beating the ever living snot out of Saedhir's Wrath who had gone invisible to retreat. The rest of the party arrived and saw to finishing the creature off for good. Except for Brick. He just pretended to be the world's largest cork. With the beast finally slain, Pez dove into its corpse to retrieve what was left of Hambjerger. Their friend retrieved, the Tempests returned to the Empress to see if there was anything she could do to help. Having no way to bring Hambjerger back, Pez seemed to close himself off.      Empress Izel invited the Tempests to return with her to Colatl so that she could reward them properly. What they weren't expecting was to be traveling upon the largest vessel they'd ever seen. Far bigger than any sea faring ship, it was the size of a small village. And it flew! It would take a few days to arrive in Colatl and the Tempests had other things that needed addressing. Questioning the severed head of Zephyrus was first on the list and... revealed very little information. The head was promptly chucked off the side of the side of the Koskatl to hopefully not land on some poor child far below and scar them for life.       Encouraged by the rest of the party, Pez reached out to Coyote to see what could be done for Hambjerger and received a good heart-to-heart with the deity. Coyote revealed that Hambjerger was gone, yet not. Coyote made a deal with Pez: If the little Kobold wanted his friend back, he'd have to work for it. Coyote resurrected Hambjerger within the Orc lands, and it was up to Pez and his friends to find their companion.      Reinvigorated with a new goal on the horizon, Pez finally made a decision about what to do with the Tetl Yolili: He would attach Cassie's soul to their Wagon. Once the ritual was complete, the wagon now named "Cassie's Sanctuary", the Tetl attached itself to the banister where it had been placed.      We rejoin the Tempests now as they hear a disembodied yawn and a voice familiar to Pez saying "Hello!"   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

Last we tuned in, the Mercs 4 Hire successfully infiltrated the gambling barge known as the Great Dame. After a evening of subterfuge, in which Siren really shined, the wee hours of the morning started to drag on. At that point Peanut decided to speed things up and take matters into his own hands. He infiltrated the office of one Lord Drylund, and quickly established dominance. After realizing something was amiss, the rest of the Mercs quickly but sneakily converged on the office. After a brief interrogation they discovered what little they could before Lord Drylund's master killed him from afar by magical means. After a concocting a very strange plan to explain the Lord's disappearance, the Merc's seemed to get away scot free, a first for them in the city of Yartar. After returning to Everlund, they brainstormed the next part of their mission: Finding a ship cloaked from all divination magic somewhere in the northern Sea Of Swords.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

Last we last left off, the Tempests had succeeded in fixing Brick's core and were waiting for the arrival of Empress Izel of the Aztlan Empire to come and inspect the repair progress of the Smithy city of Chichimec. She also wished to meet Brick, the original mortal-made being. Their introduction was short lived as shortly after meeting the Empress, Zephyrus chose that moment to attack the city once more with the apparent intent to kill Empress Izel. In the midst of the battle, another of Saedhir's Greims thundered out of the jungle, having pursued the Tempests from the Tepetl Mountains. The Wrath seemed intent on attacking the Empress but was swiftly brought low by Pez's arcane canon, but not before swallowing a few of Izel's personal guards, and Hambjerger, whole. We rejoin the Tempests now as the dust settles, Zephyrus laying dead amidst a pile of rocks, and Moriko pursuing suspicious movement further into the jungle tree-line.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

Last we left the Mercs 4 Hire, they had returned to Everlund to seek help from the Harpers in uncovering the origins of the wooden coin. After enlisting the help of Siren's brother, Telemachus, they settled into wait while the spies did their thing. After a few days of downtime, during which Peanut started scratching names off his hit list, Telemachus returned with bad news. The coin was a gambling chip from a casino in Yartar. Surprisingly the Mercs were able to successfully infiltrate the city and do some recon. We now rejoin as they finish preparations for the nights festivities.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

Picking up where we last left off, Brick's prank backfired horribly as his consciousness was transferred into his new body, causing many of the Tempests to lose their trust in the mechanical giant. Brick tried desperately to try to make amends and made a little headway, but still has much ground to cover. The tempests spent the next few days helping repair the Chichimec smithy, get their wagon operational, and inevitably await the arrival of the Empress Izel who ruled over all of Aztlan. Upon the empress's arrival, it became clear that Brick was designed after Izel's personal guard and the empress herself was quite young and somewhat playful. The initial, brief meeting was interrupted by a sarcastic round of applause and an infamously familiar voice calling out to the Tempests.  We rejoin them now as Zephyrus, flanked by a small army of cultists, faces off against the Tempests and the Empress' guards.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

The Mercs 4 Hire, intrepid mercenaries and adventures, who have braved many trials and dangers. They have just returned from slinking around Maelstrom, the seat of power and fortress of the Storm Giants.

Picking up where we last left off! The Tempests returned to Chichimec via the Gateway Stone and learned that the Smithy had been attacked relatively recently. Chimali had been severely wounded in the battle, his mechanical arm was destroyed and his right eye injured beyond repair. Borgrir and G3-MINI had been kidnapped during the encounter. Whether or not that was the attacker's goal or a consolation prize is anyone's guess. After a little questioning, the Tempests came to the conclusion that it was once again the purple robed cultists' doing. With much on their minds, the party decided that it was best for them to complete what they had come to Aztlan to do first; Repair Brick's core. With Chimali handicapped as he is, Pez led the charge in building Brick's replacement body and after a grueling couple of days, everything was ready. Bidding their potential final goodbyes to Brick as they prepared for the worst and hoped for the best, Chimali instructed the Tempests through the theoretical process of transferring Brick's consciousness to the new core. Everything seemed to be going well, until Brick awoke and seemed to have no memory of his fellows or anyone in the room. Distraught, the Tempests hung their heads… until Brick revealed he was making a joke and was immediately reprimanded with glares, hammers, and spell empowered fists that sent him sprawling across the room. We rejoin the Tempests now as Brick picks himself up off the floor and tries to think of an apology worthy enough to have his friends forgive him.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

Last time on Storm Kings Chaos, the Mercs for hire made a quick stop in Everlund to pick up Siren's new magic item, the Viobow. After that and some shopping, the Mercs used their new Conch to teleport themselves into the depths of the Maelstrom, a storm giant fortress at the bottom of the ocean. They explored this fortress, sneaking past some denizens, and plundering some rooms (no one will notice right?) before finding a magic pool of scrying. Odie used the pool to find which room Princess Serrisa was in and we now rejoin the group as they attempt to navigate their way to the throne room.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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?”   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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..   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   A huge shoutout to Nick Black who made our new intro jingle.

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.   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons

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.   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons  

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..   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons

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.   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons  

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.   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons  

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!"   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons  

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.   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons  

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.   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons

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.   If you'd like to join the community to chat with the Fools and other D&D aficionados, considering joining our discord! https://discord.gg/bWSgjAdMbp If you like what we do and would like to support us, consider donating to our Ko-Fi page at https://www.ko-fi.com/foolsandflagons You can catch us live every other Friday on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/foolsnflagons/ If you'd like to see our past adventures, you can check out the VODs on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/FoolsNFlagons
