Episode IV

DANCE OF THE SHADOW PUPPETs

Medals in hand, the prisoners of the SPECTRUM are free to explore the width and breadth of the CAT LORD’S PROWL, and beyond in their search for the SPECTRUM and its crew.

The twilight woods of BRUX are alive, and many players have set in motions events with far reaching consequences. Travelers from afar bring tidings, and their missions to this remote corner of the multiverse. 

Meanwhile, groups throughout the multiverse are left reeling by the effects of the ESCHATON, even as some see an opportunity to force their vision of how things should be across all of existence...

In the Cat Lord’s presence, the party resisted the pull of the manacles. Tracking the Exandria Five that had left the cave, they went to meet them on the far side of the valley. Yucca, still a fish in a bottle, used empathic abilities to help convince Alice what needed to be done. Meeting Ayo’s group in the nearby clearing the party attempted to team up with them. As a first step, examining the remains of an earlier explorer… now only bones in an explorer’s clothes, with an odd token around his neck. Meanwhile, Dermot restored Yucca to her normal humanoid form.

Carrying on towards the tunnel, once guarded by Felix, they meet Lionel, a researcher into the life cycles of Petitioners.

When it becomes apparent how clueless the party is about the Beastlands, Lionel gives them a copy of a page from Gaps Moogle’s Lonely Planar Ratings.

Traversing the tunnel the party finds the Spectrum. 44 is given the task of milking the Blue Milk Manatee, while the two parties clamber up on deck to speak to Thimmamma Marrimanu. Thimmamma seems mostly intact, but to become spelljam-worthy again, will need to have a spelljamming helm and Planar Plan. The crew is also missing. Ayo suggests splitting the task, with her party going to Jhankhal to meet the al karak elam, and our heroes searching for these necessary items in Waysign.

After receiving a lesson in overland travel from Ayo and a short rest, the two parties part ways. As our heroes advance to the northeast, they encounter a wild pack of hyenas.
