−
The group arises in the morning and travels back to the tomb.  Apparently they are almost flat broke.  Savvy's ladies of the night remain behind to par take in the time honoured tradition of pillow fighting.
 
  
−
As they travel through the alley to the wall they fill Phinnae in on yesterdays events ... old man, note etc ( some details are argued about).
 
  
−
Jade Wisdom uses his mighty craft skills to fix the automaton and tests it out.  Low and behold it works!
 
  
−
Jade Wisdom descends into the darkness. 
 
  
−
Phinnae realises she's not at the hotel anymore!?
 
  
−
Jade Wisdom says "UP" in Old Realm as soon as it hits the bottom, so they all hop aboard and go down.
 
  
−
They are in a wide cavern, with a low ceiling and musty air.  It is pitch black except for the glow given off by Caste marks.  A perfectly smooth stone wall stands 15m away.  A stone wall, with a stone door.  Jade Wisdom approaches.  As he draws closer he is overcome by a mind, numbingly tiredness.  He turns around and goes back to stand with the others. 
 
  
−
Scarred, ever the foolish one, disbelieves the great wisdom of the Artisan's findings.  He walks toward the doors.  Gets tired.  Makes attempts to not look tired and goes to sleep near the door.  Savvy also tries to approach the doors and she gets half way before sitting down to take a nap.  Phinnae meanwhile braces the wall.
 
  
−
Jade Wisdom drags Savvy and Scarred back.

−
At Scarred's suggestion, once the Solar rouses once more, Jade Wisdom asking the doors to open in Old Realm. This is not effective.  Scarred shines his Solar Caste mark at the doors with no effect either.
+
=== '''22nd Ascending Water''' ===
  
−
Phinnae decides to fire an elegant arrow at the doors and only succeeds in taking a chink out of the mighty stone.
+
The smell of Nexus greets the Companions long before it comes into sight. They hastily try to remove as many Guild paraphernalia and markings as they can. This is probably a bit late, given the amount of river traffic.
  
−
Scarred investigates the walls in the gloom and finds only more rock and dirt.
+
Phinnae captains the boat easily into a berth at the Nexus Pool. Once docked, everyone packs what little belongings they have and Scarred becomes Easily Overlooked in order to keep the giant Orichalcum Bow hidden. Then they make their way to the Teahouse of 7000 Pleasures.  
  
−
Savvy tries to use Heaven Thunder Leaves to attract a god, but to no avail.
+
Phinnae flies there as a condor and once in human form again she knocks on the door of the Teahouse, having arrived hours before everyone else. Madame ''Wang'' answers. The old woman looks a bit surprised to see Phinnae all by herself, and asks as to the whereabouts of the others.
  
−
Jade Wisdom focuses his willpower and trudges to the door, ignoring the overwhelming desire to sleep. Scarred manages to follow the Jadeborn's example, mostly out of spite, and together they open the doors. The Lunars follow the example just set and are soon across.
+
In her characteristically uncharismatic manner, Phinnae says it's none of the old woman's business, then bluntly demands to see Rosa. Madame Wang informs her that Rosa departed for her home months ago. Phinnae then asks for a bath. And a new change of clothes!
  
−
Remembering the note the old man gave them the adventurers enter a second room, ten yards cubed. At the opposite end of the room there are three mighty statues in front of another set of doors, each holding a giant stone hammer.
+
Madame Wang agrees that the barbarian smells quite strongly and leads Phinnae through several corridors of giggles behind closed doors to a well appointed room. Phinnae demands Madame Wang tell Taros that the others are on their way. Madame Wang refuses politely, saying that Master Taros is in Firewander at present. Phinnae pauses for a second to consider this, then tells Madame Wang to get rooms and tea ready for everyone.
  
−
Oh No!  More Automatons and more doors.
+
----
  
−
Savvy approaches the door and reaches out and touches them.  This appears to upset the closest of the Statues and it swings its giant hammer at her.
+
Walking through the busy and overcrowded streets of Nexus, Jade Wisdom takes pleasure in explaining (and warning about) the city to ''Perfect Butterfly'', as she has come to be known.
 +
----
  
−
Savvy, parries, parries, then becomes a Deadly Beastman and tries to disarm the stone monstrosity. Alas with no success.
+
A large, well built man brings Phinnae some hot water and fresh clothes. While he is in her room, trapped some might say, she asks him about recent events in Nexus. He says Master Taros, Captain Baos and Mistress Incomparable Hammer have been working on a large project, but he doesn't know what that project is.
  
−
Jade Wisdom activates Black Jade Transformation.
+
----
−
 
 
−
Phinnae springs into action with her Relentless Lunar Fury.  Pouncing onto the head of the statue and stabs at it with her ... arrow??? ... she's wishing she had some sort of melee weapon now.  But she's in her Deadly Beastman Form now too and hopes she'll have some success.  Alas the arrow is parried but skewers the statue in the head anyway.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred runs up its hammer and puts his fist into its face in an awesome, if foolhardy, move.  It doesn't notice or care.
 
−
 
 
−
The first statue swings at Savvy and she skillfully blocks with her Golden Tiger Stance.
 
−
 
 
−
A second statue is now activated and comes to the firsts aid.  It swings at Phinnae still perched on the head of the first.  She jumps up to the ceiling to back flip but is caught by the massive hammer.  A solid crunch to her side.
 
−
 
 
−
Statue three swings at Scarred who tries to dodge " I wasn't there understanding "  Statue three runs into statue one.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom swings twice and cracks statue number two in each knee.  Cracks start to appear.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy furies up and tries to dismember statue one with fans.  Ping! A chip flies off.
 
−
 
 
−
Phinnae leaps up and back and fires an arrow at statue two.  It whistles by its ear.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom leaps  up and brings ''Witty Retort'' down on statue two's head for a solid clang.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred runs up statue three and jumps off to kick punch statue one ... and misses!
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom scoots between the legs of statue three and hammers it back.  It shatters in a shower of stone and magical materials.  Yay!!
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy slides through the legs of statue one and slices three times.  Ping! Sparks! Ping! Chip! Ping! Chunk!
 
−
 
 
−
Statue one hits Phinnae solidly again.  Kerrrunck! She should learn to duck better.
 
−
 
 
−
Statue two swings at Jade Wisdom and misses, cracking the floor.  He brings the Hammer up into statue two's belly in rapid succession for two solid blows.
 
−
 
 
−
Phinnae starts aiming.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom brings Witty Retort in red arc into two powerful hits that shatter statue two's mid section.  Yay!!!
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred spins around to uppercut statue one and connects, but for no damage. 
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy pirouettes into whirling death - Miss! Miss! Chink! Chink! Chink!
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom appears in the rain of stone chips and cracks statue one over the head, knocking it off ... Yay!!!
 
−
 
 
−
Phinnae and Savvy are still Furious, but calm down quickly. 
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy and Jade Wisdom push open the door, and luckily avoid the sheer drop.
 
−
 
 
−
Phinnae shoots an arrow across the gaping maw.  It chicks and falls only a little way.  It appears to be hanging in mid air. She flies across.  Her feet find purchase on an invisible ledge. 
 
−
 
 
−
The ledge is about three metres long.  Savvy turns into a bird and flies across the pit ( 200m deep ).  Phinnae picks up Scarred and flies him across.  Then strips Jade Wisdom to his ''Rumour of Glory'' and flies him, his armour and weapons across separately. 
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom examines the ledge and believes it to be made of Adamant.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred and Savvy push door open.
 
−
 
 
−
...---^---...
 
−
 
 
−
Behind the stone doors lies yet another room ten yards to the side and ceiling. This room is incredibly ornate, with many bas-reliefs gilded and glittering in the Exalts' animas. The left of the room depicts battles and wars, while the right show wonders being built or created. There are two large sarcophagi in the middle of the room, one towards the wars, one towards the crafting scenes.
 
−
 
 
−
Trying not to appear too excited, Jade Wisdom begins investigating the battles side. The focus of all the scenes is a large man in a suit of magnificent golden armour. Obviously ''Su Chi''.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy looks around the crafting side. The Exalt depicted there is slender and beautiful.
 
−
The Solar gets straight to the point and tries to dislodge the battles sarcophagus but it is too heavy for him alone and he asks everyone else to lend their aid. This also fails to work. Some investigation indicates a magical lock and Scarred grins with triumph as he uses Lock-Opening Touch upon it.
 
−
 
 
−
The weary party are able to push the lid off with an echoing thud but before they can celebrate something swings at Scarred's head. The Solar easily dodges despite his surprise and the thing reveals itself as a large clawed arm attached to a very angry ghost.
 
−
 
 
−
Realising it is immaterial, and thus immune to his attacks, the Jadeborn goes into a defensive crouch behind ''Resolute Denial''. Savvy grows her Claws of the Silver Moon as Jade Wisdom begins slowly backing away from the creature. Scarred starts masturbating and cavorting around like a drunken fool as he activates Orgiastic Fugitive Form. Phinnae is still too taken aback to react.
 
−
 
 
−
The ghost claws wildly at the slightly stunned Lunar girl. She backflips to the centre of the room in an attempt to avoid its deadly attack but it manages to gouge a deep channel into the flesh of her legs and she collapses with a girly scream! Seeing his friend collapse, Jade Wisdom risks rushing in to attack the ghost and distract it away from Phinnae. He reasons that perhaps if it can harm the material world, then maybe the material can harm it! Aas, his goremaul merely whistles through the air and through the ghost, doing no harm. The attack does serve to gain its attention though.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy edges close to the open coffin and sneaks a look within. A golden bow is resting gently upon the desiccated corpse! Feeling victorious, she lunges forward to remove it, and is startled to discover how heavy it is! She quickly remembers the properties of Artifacts, both attuned and not, and is crestfallen to think it would take her at least 20 minutes to attune to it properly. Fortunately Jade Wisdom sees her predicament as he backs away from the enraged ghost, and comes to the same conclusion as the Lunar. But the Great Maker blessed the Mountain Folk with some of his grace, so Jade Wisdom dashes to Savvy's side and utilises his Great Maker's Grasp on it, instantly forcing attunement, although draining his already small essence reserves.
 
−
 
 
−
As the Artisan has his back turned the ghost punches its ghastly claws through ''Ascending Fire Unit 17'' and drawing blood. As Jade Wisdom staggers forward he calls out "Destroy the body! Destroy the body!" into the echoing room. Scarred hears this and leaps into the open sarcophagus and hammers down a mighty punch with his Orichalcum smashfists into the body's chest, shattering all the ancient ribs in one blow.
 
−
 
 
−
As Jade Wisdom tries once more to lure the ghost after himself, and away from the others, Savvy crushes the withered and dusty skull of the corpse. The Jadeborn tries to use the golden bow, hoping it has some ability to affect the immaterial, but his arrow flies through ghost as ineffective as the rest of his weaponry. It does enrage the ghost some more, however, and it rushes forward to attack him again. Fortunately Jade Wisdom is able to duck and weave away from the frenzied attack.
 
−
 
 
−
Seeing that bodily destruction was not working, Scarred gets an idea. He splashes some spirits from his golden gourd over the corpse then punches the side of the stone sarcophagus to create some sparks. These sparks ignite the spirits with a blue, nearly invisible, flame. Savvy quickly jumps out of the sarcophagus before the flames engulf her as well!
 
−
 
 
−
The ghost clutches at Jade Wisdom as he tries to retreat yet again. The claws are barely turned aside by ''Resolute Denial''. Jade Wsidom cries out for the others to make the fire burn faster in a voice betraying his rising panic.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred runs to Phinnae's prone form and tries to pick her up, but the Western Juggernaut is too much for the inebriated Solar to carry alone. He calls to Savvy to help him and she leaps to his side as the ghost once again lunges at Jade Wisdom. This time Jade Wisdom backs into the wall and throws himself sideways causing the ghost's grappling to go awry and carry the creature through the bas-relief.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred and Savvy manage to drag Phinnae to the door to the chamber as Jade Wisdom runs to the centre of the room to keep a wary eye on all the walls for the ghost's return. Then Scarred sees that the fire has died down and rushes over to pour more alcohol into the stone crucible.
 
−
 
−
The trio wait nervously for the ghost to reappear or the flames to destroy the body completely.
 
−
 
 
−
Suddenly the hungry ghost comes running towards Jade Wisdom who only just manages to dodge its frenzied attack. Once again the Jadeborn begins backing away from the creature to lead it away from the Exalts.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy tries to move Phinnae on her own but fails, as Jade Wisdom starts backing away from the ghost towards the doorway she is in. Once again the ghost slashes at the scared Artisan, and once again fails to land a blow. As Jade Wisdom gets ever closer, Savvy finally gives a mighty heave and manages to drag Phinnae into the room, away from the doorway.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom gasps with pain as the ghost manages to finally pierce his armour while he continues leading it outside. He is attacked again and yet again, but no further slashes connect, while Scarred desperately feeds yet more fuel into the sarcophagus to keep the bones burning.
 
−
 
 
−
The hungry ghost keeps attacking Jade Wisdom as it is lead out onto the adamant ledge. Jade Wisdom is glad for his armoured helm as his face betrays his rising fear and disappointment that the ghost can leave the chamber. But then Jade Wisdom becomes aware that the creature is becoming more solid as he leads it further from the room! Finally feeling some hope, he tries to manoeuvre the ghost off the ledge. This slight over-confidence causes Jade Wisdom to misstep and the ghost manages to slice his arm. At last, though, the ghost is fully materialised and the duo attack simultaneously - ''Witty Retort'' blurring through the air as the ghost screeches and tears at Jade Wisdom one last time. There's a satisfying thump as the ghost's head is knocked clean off its shoulders and ricochets off the wall and into the cavernous pit below.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom is relieved.
 
−
 
 
−
He re-enters the room. Scarred and Savvy come over and examine the bow. they all agree it looks to be the right one.
 
−
 
 
−
Over the course of the next three hours, Jade Wisdom heals and gives an enlightening and instructive lecture about the scenes shown around the walls. And also the type of stone used. And the style of chiselling involved at that period. Scarred gets quite drunk and is bored out of his head at the sound of Jade Wisdom's voice. Savvy is more polite and at least feigns an interest while she watches over Phinnae. Phinnae is probably glad she is unconscious at this stage.
 
−
 
 
−
After the three hous, Phinnae does manage to rouse. The others tell of what happened and their new plan to investigate, and steal from, the other sarcophagus. Phinnae immediately flies to the ceiling to stay safe, but then comes down again as Scarred realises he would be the best person to attune to the Golden Bow. Jade Wisdom gladly hands the Powerbow to the Solar, and they all wait another twenty minutes for the attunement to occur.
 
−
 
 
−
Then they all get into position. Phinnae once more taking to the ceiling, the others around the sarcophagus. Scarred uses his Lock-Opening Touch once more andthe lid is pushed off with another echoing thud.
 
−
 
 
−
Surprise attack! A clawed hand swipes at Savvy scratches her arm. Jade Wisdom looks within the coffin and spies a length of cord some two feet long. It is clearly magical so he grabs it and uses his Artificer's Insight to discover it is a wondrous triumph of magical creation of a utilitarian nature. He calls out to the others, "Flee!" as the hungry ghost comes out swinging at him in deadly imitation of the first ghost. One of its claws sneak past the Myrmidon Armour and Jade Wisdom can feel its icy caress over his ribs. The Artisan starts backing away in another dance of taunt and guard.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred runs out of the chamber and along the adamant ledge. As he reaches the end of the nigh invisible construction he spins and punches a handhold into the rock wall of the cavern. Without glancing back he starts descending the smooth stonework, leaving handholds all the way.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy runs out of the chamber door and becomes a bird to fly across the chasm while Jade Wisdom continues his guarded retreat.
 
−
 
 
−
Phinnae swoops down from the ceiling, skimming over the ghost and grabbing ''Witty Retort'' and ''Resolute Denial' from the Jadeborn. She then soars across the chasm and dumps the artifacts next to the crumbled Automatons. Upon doing this she remembers that Jade Wisdom is a bit useless at crossing the chasm on his own, and realises that if she activates her Full Moon Anima she will be twice as strong and twice as fast and thus able to carry him in one trip! Her thoughts become action as she shoots back towards the nervous, feeling-kinda-naked-in-a-bad-way Artisan.
 
−
 
 
−
The hungry ghost edges closer to Jade Wisdom looking for an opening. It can sense his fear...
 
−
 
 
−
The Solar is about a quarter of the way down when he remembers just how deep the cavern is, and changes course to edge around sideways along the wall.
 
−
 
 
−
With its prey against the drop the ghost lunges in for the kill but is put off balance as Jade Wisdom dashes forward past it running to the other end of the adamant ledge. Again the Jadeborn can feel the claws caress his skin on the way past.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy arrives at last at the other room barely avoiding the speeding Phinnae as she lands. Scarred can feel the rush of air around him from Phinnae's flight as he continues around the wall, blow by blow.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wsidom reaches the very far edge of the ledge and stands warily watching the ghost come after him and Phinnae flying towards him. As the ghost comes running in, the almost panicking Artisan leaps into the air towards the oncoming Lunar. Time slows down for him as he starts to scream with his arms outstretched and legs kicking wildly in the air... then with a triumphant cry Phinnae catches him and carries him to safety on the other side. Jade Wisdom is quite relieved but manages to hide his quivering legs and shaky voice as he re-equips himself.
 
−
 
 
−
As Scarred climbs up into the room the others can see behind him in the shadowed cavern the hungry ghost running towards them. It slowly dawns upon the quartet that as a ghost it may not be affected by the god of falling down...
 
−
 
 
−
They flee once more. This time the magical zone of sleep does not hinder them, although they hope it affects the ghost as they reach the elevator and summon it down again.
 
−
 
 
−
The ghost appears at the doorway and Phinnae fires a deadly accurate arrow through the space that it would occupy if it were standing two yards to the left and a yard taller. As it starts a cautious approach, the lift clicks into place. The four scramble into the gilded cage and yell for it to ascend. Just before it reaches the top level an unearthly howl echoes around the chamber.
 
−
 
 
−
Breathing deep sighs of relief they ascend the stairs. Scarred informs everyone that the time is currently 3:47pm.
 
−
 
 
−
They yet again breach the stone wall and enter the dark and cold Sijan street. Quickly patching the wall they all hurry back to the hotel, trying to be quite nonchalant about the gigantic golden bow Scarred is carrying. It gets draped in strips of cloth and rags as best they can manage. It might fool a blind man facing the other direction...
 
−
 
 
−
During the walk Scarred casually mentions how he is in fact second in line for the Scarlet Throne. Before the others can react, he remembers his Easily-Overlooked Presence, and turns effectively invisible to hide the bow.
 
−
 
 
−
Once in the hotel, they discuss a cunning plan to get out of Sijan as fast as they can come the morning.
 
−
 
 
−
=== '''2nd Resplendent Air''' ===
 
−
 
 
−
After a thankfully uneventful night, broken only by the sounds of four nubile nymphettes having a pillow-fight in lingerie, the mismatched Circle and hangers-on pack their gear and leave the hotel just after dawn.
 
−
 
 
−
Once in the street, five black-armoured cavalry start to follow them. Keeping a steady distance, but making the party quite nervous none-the-less as they try to stay nonchalant and keep the giant golden bow covered. A collective sigh of relief is breathed when the menacing horsemen stop at the city gates and merely watch the party walk down the road to the docks.
 
−
 
 
−
Once the ''Shining Pearl'' is visible the group is somewhat surprised and curious to see a man dressed in yellow, upon a horse, in the middle of the main deck. All of a sudden the man rides his horse over the side of the yacht and disappears. Jade Wisdom's essence-enhanced vision quite clearly marks the man's motonic aura as similar to the old man in the street outside Su Chi's tomb.
 
−
 
 
−
Once they board the yacht, though, ony Savvy recalls the strange horseman. Scarred, Jade Wisdom and Phinnae are perplexed by her ravings of old men and horses. But her ravings jog the Jadeborn's memory enough that soon he too remembers. He joins Savvy in trying to convince the others, but with little success until Scarred discovers a yellow paper crane on the deck.
 
−
 
 
−
The Solar, suspecting it may be some kind of trap, hands it to the Artisan to unfold. Jade Wisdom manages to get the origami unfolded after a few minutes without damaging the paper, and discovers some excellent calligraphy in High Realm within. He reads it to the assembled Exalts.
 
−
 
 
−
"''Gold, Silver and Jade / floating on Gaia's Tears / Hope they can swim''"
 
−
 
 
−
This seems ominous.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy has forgotten the yellow-clad horseman by now. Which frustrates Jade Wisdom somewhat, but Scarred, maybe prompted by the note, finally remembers. No amount of argument sways the Lunars though.
 
−
 
 
−
Soon thereafter, with little fanfare, the yacht leaves the docks for it's long journey to Nexus.
 
−
 
 
−
== '''5th Resplendent Air''' ==
 
−
 
 
−
The weather has been getting colder as winter sets in, and this day is the coldest yet.
 
−
 
 
−
Savvy, the girl from the Southern heat, decides to go a-hunting for some kind of aquatic creature bigger than a cat.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred continues a-drinking.
 
−
 
 
−
Phinnae continues a-captaining.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom keeps a-meditating.
 
−
 
 
−
After a few hours, Savvy realises she is getting very, very cold in the icy water, but is thankful she hasn't drowned.
 
−
 
 
−
Suddenly a multi-hued, multi-winged cherub pops into existance by Scarred's head. It whispers into the startled Solar's ear a message from Taros. "''Hope you've been successful. See you soon!''". Strangely the Dynast has never seen nor heard of such things and has to have it explained to him by the extremely knowledgable Jadeborn.
 
−
 
 
−
Another hour or so passes in cold contemplation when Scarred notices some frantic splashing in the river some dozen yards from the yacht. It is Savvy, beginning to struggle against the cold and drowning after an unsuccessful hunt! The Solar jumps in to rescue her, using his magic gourd as a handy floatation device. He manages to get the Lunar girl back aboard with little effort. She is suffering from mild hypothermia and so is put into bed with her slave girls to "warm her up" while Jade Wisdom makes her some tea.
 
−
 
 
−
The rest of the day is uneventful as the rest of the yacht's inhabitants listen to the strange giggles and occasional cries from Savvy's bedroom...
 
−
 
 
−
=== '''14th Resplendent Air''' ===
 
−
 
 
−
Night. The air is cold and calm. Snow clouds keep the stars and moon obscured. A day or so has passed since the yacht turned onto the River of Tears... ''Wooooo-ooooo''
 
−
 
 
−
The Exalts and crew sleep peacefully as Jade Wisdom stands a lonely watch above decks. The darkness proving no obstacle to his essence enhanced vision.
 
−
 
 
−
Then a huge explosion rocks the boat! It lurches like a drunken Solar to starboard causing the Jade Wisdom to clutch at the railings or lose his footing.
 
−
 
 
−
Everyone on board wakes up within moments. Jade Wisdom runs to the hold where he estimates the explosion occurred. Savvy takes control of her frightened followers and hopes the ornate table in her room floats. The panicking crew inform her of Jade Wisdom's dash below decks and she goes to find him.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom stares in horror at the damage to the hull and then looks around for supplies with which to begin makeshift repairs. He grabs some canvas, rope and broken barrel to start slowing the icy water's entry. As Savvy enters the hold he yells for her to tell Phinnae to try to steer the boat closer to shore.
 
−
 
 
−
Scarred staggers around the yacht in a drunken haze. Something doesn't feel right to him. And he wishes that everyone would stop screaming for a minute, as his head really hurts.
 
−
 
 
−
Unfortunately no amount of paying to the Great Maker seems to be helping the hapless Jadeborn plug the gaping hole in the hull. Giving up he grabs some floating barrels and rope and makes for the deck. As he emerges upon the precipitously leaning deck, he sees that just about everyone is jumping into the water; Phinnae has taken to her Deadly Beastman Form and flown above the confusion.
 
−
 
 
−
The Exalts and Jade Wisdom manage to save the slave girls and sailors from drowning with gourds, barrels and tables, and they all paddle to shore.
 
−
 
 
−
They clamber up the muddy and icy bank with some difficulty before collapsing exhausted under some trees. Groany is shivering uncontrollably and turning strange shades of blue which causes Savvy some concern. They all see Taros' yacht give one last shudder and sink beneath the waters of the River of Tears.
 
−
 
 
−
Jade Wisdom searches the area for some old wood to make a fire. Its feeble heat is far better than nothing and soon all the bedraggled survivors are huddled quite close. The Jadeborn's essence sight and darkvision is unable to detect anything or anyone suspicious nearby.
 
−
 
 
−
After a few minutes, Savvy asks the sailors if that's ever happened before. The seven sailors sit silently for a minute then look at her in a funny way, and say "no".
 
−
 
 
−
Everyone is in a bit of shock. Except Scarred, he's too drunk for shock. Savvy leans back and looks at the sky for a while. The clouds part briefly to reveal a full moon, and she can feel her inner beast stir uneasily at the sight. Jade Wisdom realises his supply of tea has sunk to the bottom of the river and feels his spirits sink.
 
  
−
Scarred gets a bit hungry and wanders around for a few minutes to find some food. He returns with a reasonable supply of fruit and berries. In the meantime, to help keep the girls warm, Savvy has become a large bear. This slightly unnerves the mortals, but serves it's purpose in keeping Groany especially warm.
+
The others arrive at last at the well appointed foyer and are met by the gracious Madame Wang. Savvy enquires after Phinnae and Taros, and is told that though Phinnae is here, Taros is regrettably not. Madame Wang then leads them all to well appointed guest rooms.
  
−
Scarred offers some of his alcohol to the despondent Artisan, and is surprised when Jade Wisdom accepts. They and the sailors get very drunk...
+
They all spot a large, well built man leaving another room in a hurry with a concerned look upon his face. Phinnae can be heard beyond the door saying she was only trying to say thankyou!
  
−
=== '''15th Resplendent Air''' ===
+
Half an hour later or so, Madame Wang gets Phinnae from her room and leads her to a lush lounge replete with tasty snacks gentle music and several varieties of tea from around Creation. Soon after Phinnae has gotten comfortable, the rest arrive. Jade Wisdom 's eyes light up upon spotting the tea and he sips it with relish and delight. After devouring the exquisit snacks, Perfect Butterfly, Savvy and ex-slave girls all go to a communal bathroom. Jade Wisdom and the sailors then do likewise.
  
−
Jade Wisdom wakes up very hungover.
+
Around mid-afternoon everyone is refreshed, relaxed, re-clothed and reclining back in the lounge.  
  
−
Savvy goes fishing as a bear.
+
Then Scarred reappears, dirty, dishevelled and smelling like a brewery full of pig-swill. Despite this the others make small talk with him and fill him in on the news, such as it is, about Taros. Savvy asks Feral to tell more about Nexus and its laws and customs, as the girl grew up in the city. While she speaks, Scarred and the sailors get quite drunk, before eventually, the sailors take their leave, getting paid by Madame Wang on the way out.

Scarred starts drinking again.

The night passes uneventfully, and very comfortably.

No one is sure where Phinnae is, and then she arrives in camp with a deer!

Everyone eats reasonably well as sleet falls around them.

22nd Ascending Water

The smell of Nexus greets the Companions long before it comes into sight. They hastily try to remove as many Guild paraphernalia and markings as they can. This is probably a bit late, given the amount of river traffic.

Phinnae captains the boat easily into a berth at the Nexus Pool. Once docked, everyone packs what little belongings they have and Scarred becomes Easily Overlooked in order to keep the giant Orichalcum Bow hidden. Then they make their way to the Teahouse of 7000 Pleasures.

Phinnae flies there as a condor and once in human form again she knocks on the door of the Teahouse, having arrived hours before everyone else. Madame Wang answers. The old woman looks a bit surprised to see Phinnae all by herself, and asks as to the whereabouts of the others.

In her characteristically uncharismatic manner, Phinnae says it's none of the old woman's business, then bluntly demands to see Rosa. Madame Wang informs her that Rosa departed for her home months ago. Phinnae then asks for a bath. And a new change of clothes!

Madame Wang agrees that the barbarian smells quite strongly and leads Phinnae through several corridors of giggles behind closed doors to a well appointed room. Phinnae demands Madame Wang tell Taros that the others are on their way. Madame Wang refuses politely, saying that Master Taros is in Firewander at present. Phinnae pauses for a second to consider this, then tells Madame Wang to get rooms and tea ready for everyone.

Walking through the busy and overcrowded streets of Nexus, Jade Wisdom takes pleasure in explaining (and warning about) the city to Perfect Butterfly, as she has come to be known.

A large, well built man brings Phinnae some hot water and fresh clothes. While he is in her room, trapped some might say, she asks him about recent events in Nexus. He says Master Taros, Captain Baos and Mistress Incomparable Hammer have been working on a large project, but he doesn't know what that project is.

The others arrive at last at the well appointed foyer and are met by the gracious Madame Wang. Savvy enquires after Phinnae and Taros, and is told that though Phinnae is here, Taros is regrettably not. Madame Wang then leads them all to well appointed guest rooms.

They all spot a large, well built man leaving another room in a hurry with a concerned look upon his face. Phinnae can be heard beyond the door saying she was only trying to say thankyou!

Half an hour later or so, Madame Wang gets Phinnae from her room and leads her to a lush lounge replete with tasty snacks gentle music and several varieties of tea from around Creation. Soon after Phinnae has gotten comfortable, the rest arrive. Jade Wisdom 's eyes light up upon spotting the tea and he sips it with relish and delight.

Trying some organisational changes. If anyone has a better idea, I'd love to see it! :) Will leave the last couple of days in game time (or game sessions) up on this page and archive off the others on a rolling schedule (alternatively, one of you lot can do that too if you feel so inclined, just copy how I've done it. Each Archived day will usually be fairly short to read, has it's own comments section and should be easy to build off, but one thing I'm wary of is losing exactly what the party of misfits has learned. If it's archived away who's to say what day they learned the specific bit of info you're looking for to recall... hm... wordy sentences for the win tonight! Maybe each date should have a reminder about that day? So like: 16th Descending Wood - Nexus, quartet met, alley thugs, Taros intro. - nikink

Perhaps you could just have this page be a timeline with a brief rundown of each day + the calander with the links off to the more detailed descriptions. Possibly just have the most recent game or two on here as well, to act as a memory tickler if needed. - Bencyclopedia
I'm pretty sure you just said what I said... :) nikink
Quite possibly, I just did it less wordy :P Bencyclopedia

Damn homophones! :) nikink

What the hell is Toxophilite? - nikink

According to thefreedictionary.com a Toxophilite is a lover of Archery - Bencyclopedia
The more you know! :) nikink

Good grief! I hate falling behind on the notes... three pages transcribed, nineteen to go! I hope you people appreciate the effort! ;) nikink
