Manti➙ Imagine her surprise when she discovered that the one that saved her from being thrown into the ocean belonged to the party that murdered her brother? They reluctantly agreed to have her along, mostly because of her magical prowess, and they arrived at the island of Manti. There they were asked to clear some mines of dangerous monsters... only to find when they had woken up that they'd already finished the job, but with no recollection. And a missing party member. They worked backwards, trying to figure out what happened to them and their companion. As they dug further, they found more and more resistance. With no choice, once they had found their companion, they fled.
Aleda➙ The boat they encountered took them back to the mainland to a city named Aleda, where champions from far and wide were coming to participate in The Games. But teams were being murdered, and a spot was open, so they joined in. They advanced in the tournament with ease, but uncovered traces of a nefarious plot in their off time. No one won that tournament. The cultists almost did, but the party stopped them, granting Aleda its freedom and restoring peace. The King thanked them personally. But there were more important matters to attend to.
The Free Cities➙ Loose threads of a task completed by the party long before Ena joined were making themselves known, and it was dire. They rushed back to the other side of the mainland, to the Free Cities, only to find that unrest had taken root in the year since they were there last. The man who had pleaded for their help was trapped in a village of undead, and when they saved him, he promised he would assist them in defeating this evil entity. They traveled to another village. Once they realized they had been duped into mercilessly decimating the population, thinking they were undead, that they realized that the man they saved was in fact the evil entity they wanted to stop. It crushed them, the party becoming the first sacrifices for the Demon Lord of Deceit. |
