Episode 71: Mist and Whimsy
Bell’s Hells had sought out aid with an artifact they had uncovered that seemed tethered two parts of Ludinus Da’leth’s past. In doing so, you sought out Dancer who has a tumultuous history with FCG, as well as heading back to Bassuras to bring their skill and talent to combine with that of Imahara Joe in hopes of discovering the true nature and/or the capabilities of this artifact once it were to be repaired, refurbished.
Upon arriving there, you found that it seems a lot of outside military force by interested temple factions or other military factions from around Exandria are starting to gather in the Hellcatch around the ground zero of where the Bloody Bridge currently still tethers the moon Ruidus into the sky.
Here, you also discovered that Imahara Joe’s shop had been shuttered up, and apparently had long been captured by Paragon’s Call within the city, and they were forcing him to do work for Paragon’s Call itself, and by proxy, the Ruby Vanguard. You managed to ruin entirely Paragon’s Call within, You managed to ruin entirely Paragon’s Call within, and foiled the plans and capabilities of General Ratanish, one of the secondary generals beneath Otohan Thull. Putting them to rest and covering your tracks, you saved Imahara Joe and another companion of his, also of quite intellect and capability.
With the aid of Keyleth, sent them off to a safe space with her while she managed to handle her business in the time to come of growing tumult (Temult). Then sent you all to the rarely journeyed “continent” of clustered islands known as the Shattered Teeth to seek information and answers surrounding the essence and mystery of Ashton’s past and current nature.
As you all step through the temporarily open portal of the tree that sends you into this strange unfamiliar landscape, as the sound of the magical trunk closing behind you, you all begin to glance around. You now stand in the center of a relatively dense forest. Humid is the air. Not too terribly warm, but definitely a thick humidity that surrounds you. The trees themselves are these black and white spiraled birches that the actual trunks seem to grow in a corkscrew, a slow corkscrew into the sky where a thick canopy of birch leaves clusters up large parts of the sky.
The current, now currently fading daylight that you can see at this point gives a strange yellowish tone. I say that because the cloud cover and the fog that chokes the middle of this forest is quite thick, and everything has this slight sepia amber hue. But here you are in the middle of this unknown space in what you hope to be the island of Slival.

The triangle window behind Matt during the battle still feels so new to me, since it isn’t often seen.
