A Long Rest

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 04:01:16 GMT

Inside the walls of Nevermore, the efforts of Nevets and Luthander to get away from the prying eyes of Jillian Vennex lead to an escalating series of problems that threaten to spiral out of their control.   At the same time, Jericho, Moore, and Adowole find themselves in an equally precarious position back at the carnivalle.  Having finally caught up to the necromantic hand of their pursuit, the young zatis now must now deal with it before it can hurt them or the rest of the troupe.

Meanwhile, the troupe elders have serious misgivings for the young band of heroes, with Kray-the-Blade concerned about their current goings-on and whereabouts, and Mother Sylvenza worried about yet another vision of what might await them.

Luthander's Contact and Bartholomew’s Nose

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 04:26:55 GMT

Eager to gain information about the mysterious, blue-skinned pirate, Nevets and Luthander seek out the rogue’s contact in Nevermore to learn whatever they can on the matter.  Pursuing different leads, back at the carnivalle Moore and Jericho employ the nose of one of the Blue Veil Troupe’s pigs to seek out the missing necromantic hand, while Adowole conducts his own investigation at the troupe smithy.

Meanwhile, the additional coin that the zatis obtained from the pirate has not gone unnoticed, and some of the young hanataz discover an unwelcome shadow following in their wake.

Zatis at the Gate

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 05:01:25 GMT

After discerning what once rested in the puzzlebox gifted to band of hanataz heroes from Lord Odil, Moore and Jericho seek out a means to find the missing item. Pursuing their own leads and quarry, Luthander and Nevets tail the blue-skinned pirate, not fully appreciating where that path might lead them and what roadblocks they might need to overcome.

Meanwhile, Adowole finds himself stuck between embracing the reward he so desperately desires and tending to his responsibilities to his fellow zatis.

Tue, 27 Feb 2024 05:01:37 GMT

Negotiating the return of the mysterious package with the blue-skinned pirate, the young hanataz try to pry what information they can without letting on that they had violated the terms of the agreement.  Along the way, the party receives an even more dire premonition of what might befall the Blue Veil Troupe, as well as discovering troubling news about the other package in their possession.

Meanwhile, amidst all the other goings-on, the zatis find themselves confronting a separate potential threat that places their word against the evidence before the Bonduran Council.

Unable to prevent Moore from speaking to the dog from Vezzi’s premonition, the young hanataz decided to find out what answers they could from the canine specter that only the druid could see.  Although they discovered new information linking the Sundestan nobleman to powerful persons in Nevermore, the party’s investigative efforts would be allowed to go no further, at least not without bending the words of their elders.

Meanwhile, one of Mother Sylvenza’s more foreboding visions manifests before the zatis’ very eyes, just as they let down their guard.

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 05:01:34 GMT

Splitting into two groups to seek out answers, the young zatis turn to Anton to revive the Sundestan nobleman and Mother Sylvenza to provide some explanation for what appears to be a convergence of unrelated threats all intent on harming the Blue Viel Troupe, and possibly all hanataz.  Experiencing difficulties because of additional heinous deeds carried out by unknown culprits and sheer stubbornness on the part of their elders, the party struggles to obtain any of the answers or assurances they seek.

Meanwhile, the warnings of young Vezzi finally coalesce around an identifiable course of action that the zatis can take, or more appropriately, avoid taking.

Enemies New and Ancient

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 05:01:00 GMT

Losing patience with the general xenophobia of local couple they saved from the smuggler murderers, the young hanataz decide to return to the carnivalle to seek out additional guidance on what they should do next.  The sense of urgency to warn their elders was made all the more acute by the discovery that there may be some connection between the strange magics that assaulted the Blue Viel Troupe and the leadership of Nevermore.

Meanwhile, the zatis discovered that the strange dagger in Luthander’s possession may be magically connected to a wholly separate group of people that retains a centuries-old commitment to destroying the hanataz people.

Battling their way through and out of the Tent of Illusions, our reunited band of zatis try to make sense of Luthander’s newfound abilities and the many mysterious happenings that seem to keep assailing the Blue Veil Troupe.  Fully succumbing to hanataz curiosity, the young heroes’ efforts to investigate these mysteries are met with cryptic clues that hint at the involvement of the gods, as well as earthly threats of violence by those who would keep their plots cloaked in shadow.

 Meanwhile, Jericho’s efforts to seek guidance from Old Strem and the other arcane leaders of the carnivalle, disclose that the threats facing the troupe may well be otherworldly in their evil.

Bologna Pony

Tue, 12 Dec 2023 05:02:10 GMT

Successfully riding Luthander’s luck to deal with troublemakers at the carnivalle, our band of hanataz nonetheless find the party separated once again. With one group trying desperately to find their wayward ally, that lone explorer feels obligated to dig deeper into one of the many newly arisen mysteries that seem to be assailing the Blue Veil Troupe.  Both paths eventually lead all our young heroes to a place where all magic seems to have gone awry, or worse, to have been purposely turned against the hanataz.

Meanwhile, Moore’s magical investigation of Luthander’s newfound dagger reveals that the rouge’s recent visions might be arcane in nature, rather than supernatural.

Un-split the Party

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 05:01:33 GMT

Spread across the whole of the carnivalle in their efforts to resolve various issues, our band of hanataz do their best to maintain the peace.  Despite their efforts, each young hero seems to find themselves surrounded by darkness and rumors of murder.  After finally reconvening to tell all they know to the elders of the troupe (the Bonduran Council) in hopes of gaining guidance, the young heroes instead find themselves facing the full ire of ne’re-do-well townies when one of them inexplicably manifests new powers.

Meanwhile, the new item that found its way into Luthander’s possession is likely to be the luckiest find in the recent history of the Blue Veil Troupe... or the harbinger of doom for the hanataz.

Dark Warnings and First Dates

Fri, 24 Nov 2023 17:30:06 GMT

Returning to the carnivalle triumphantly, our band of hanataz is pulled in several directions at once as everyone wants to know of their exploits or to warn them of impending doom. While focused foremost on trying to obtain some answers by reviving the Sudestan man from the old well, the party finds more than its share of new information and resulting new questions from friends, rivals, and strangers alike.

Meanwhile, Jericho and Luthander have distinctly different interactions with children at the carnivalle. While our bard, jester entertains the camp yunstas and tries to teach them the finer points of defending themselves, our handsome rogue receives an unexpected gift from an adoring fan.

Eggs and Riddles

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 05:01:47 GMT

Battling against “the bad one” that Spider-Robert had warned them about, our young zatis understand that victory would provide them the time and space to finally escape the well, along with unhindered access to whatever lies deeper within the tunnels.  Pushing their luck in search of more treasure for the Blue Veiled Troupe, the party encounters riddles in need of answers, missing keys, and doors that are best left unopened. 

Meanwhile, just as the young hanataz are experiencing the triumph of victory, the foreboding voice in Moore’s head warns her that not all are safe and that death begets death.
