Episode 85: Intense Interrogations

Last we left off, Bell’s Hells had finally climbed the Bloody Bridge from the Malleus Key to the surface of the red moon of ill omen, Ruidus. Upon arriving into a bit of a dangerous scuffle, being pursued by some stragglers, you managed to escape the outpost and head in any direction to try to get to safety.
After stopping through the middle of a storm, and taking cover, you dove into your own visions and connections with what seems to be Predathos’ power and other Ruidusborn in the region, and seem to triangulate a location where they are converging.
Focusing yourselves in that direction, you began to head that way. Trying to avoid any dangerous weather patterns. Learning a little bit about the strange, alien landscape that you’re still very fresh in arrival to.
Then you eventually stumble upon a little place called Razora. A little village on one of the mountain ranges. Not too much of a divergence from the direction you were taking and there you went to investigate. You encountered some new creature types that you were unfamiliar with. Denizens of Ruidus. Bormodos and the Cytaas that have a symbiotic relationship.
You befriended one of the bormodos who brought you to one of the village elders, known as Elder Barthie. After some discussion, a bit of convincing, you seem to have presented yourselves as allies to those who do not wish the Imperium’s rule to continue to press down upon the free peoples of Ruidus. As such the elder seemed to take a liking to you. Though warned of it being a dangerous place to flaunt that sort of allegiance, the Imperium taking no quarter.
After some lore being spilt, some information about the essential capital of the entire Reiloran society. The Kreviris Imperium resides, the core of it, in the city of Kreviris. Which you assume to be the location you are heading towards.
Also, a caravan seemed to be coming by. About the time that this caravan arriveed, an entity with the title Willmaster came to the door o the elder. The elder seemed surprised and it took notice of the strange individuals in Vanguard garb within the abode. One transforming into mist and others seeking to immediately make friends by failing to cast a spell upon them.
However this led to a bit of conflict. A battle, here in the middle of the night in the streets outside o the elder’s abode, led to the Will master taking all the minds of the surrounding villagers and pulling them in to protect them. As it looked like a few Vanguard members flanked this Willmaster. Young and a bit spooked by the sudden violence as they were exploded with a fireball, a bunch of loud noises and detonation cracks sent nearby beasts of burden into a frenzy before they broke free of their pen causing a stampede through the center of this town.
A number of these figures were either slain or knocked unconscious and we left off as you pulled them into the house of the elder…

    Bormodo: one of the sentient humanoid species who inhabit the red moon Ruidus, known for their symbiotic relationship with cytaa. They have been told they do not themselves dream, but share the dreams of various Exandrians, whom they call “Dreamers”.

    • No more than four feet tall.
    • Their faces are rotund and cherub-like, and they have black eyes with little visible sclera, an elephantine flesh nub with thin slitted nostrils for a nose, and deeply-set mouths.
    • They have two pairs of arms: one is strong with meaty hands and fingers, and the other is thinner and more delicate

    Cytaa: a lizard-like sentient species of Ruidus with thick scaled hide and thin limbs and bodies, looking similar to iguanas with gold shimmering eyes, although slightly impish-looking, with somewhat fey-like features including long thin ears.

    • They have tails that can be long or short, sometimes curling into a spiral.
    • Small enough to live cradled on the chests of their symbiote bormodos
