Descending Wood : The odd quartet meet in Nexus, greet a Solar, get a quest, kill a Dynast, steal a yacht.

Ascending Fire : Leave Nexus on a quest to Sijan on behalf of an Eclipse. Flee local authorities for the death of a Dynast. Bring groupies.

Descending Fire : Fae!. Scarred frustrated. Savvy furious. Phinnae flies. Jade Wisdom fights.

Calibration : weirdness happens.

||||||Year 769|| || Ascending Air|| Resplendent Air||Descending Air|| Year 769

Ascending Air : Seven Su-Chi's. Sidereal slyness. Scary stranger. Sijanese stonework. Schooling Savvy.

Resplendent Air :

21st Resplendent Air

Around noon the party arrives back in the Wood Court before the King. Jade Wisdom presents Frank, and Savvy tells the King that Frank could be sent back to the Guild with (and as) a message. The King thanks the group for their efforts, but does not elaborate on his plans for Frank.

This done, the Companions take their leave of the Court.

On the way out, Savvy offers Frank a pretty orange hallucinogenic berry as a parting gift as she feels a bit bad about his fate being left there.

Through the afternoon they walk back to Riverwood village. Upon arrival back at the barn it is plainly seen that the sailors and girls are gone! Savvy frantically asks Lisda where they may be, but of course Lisda doesn't know because she has been with Savvy the whole time. Lisda does point out that they have been gone a few days though, so Savvy shouldn't necessarily expect the people to just stay cooped up in a barn the whole time...

Shortly after this the men and women are all found, to Savvy's great relief. They have been working in and around the village to pay for their keep. Phew! Crisis over!

Jade Wisdom asks Phinnae if she is able to transform into any kind of aquatic animal that could aid in finding the magic rope. She says she can, and flies off to retrieve the artifact. Some six hours or so later she has a fish form large enough to carry that rope in its mouth, and soon after that has easily found the rope.

As evening falls, Scarred practices his drunken-fu in the village street (getting some odd looks from the inhabitants); Savvy helps her followers around the village doing chores; and Jade Wisdom talks with Lisda and Gare.

The father and daughter start arguing. She has decided she would like to stay with the Exalts and find her fortune in Nexus. He does not want to lose his last remaining family and be all alone. Jade Wisdom tries to make peace and mediate between them, but Lisda refuses his help and so he bows and bids them goodnight.

Phinnae flies back victorious and returns the magic cord to Jade Wisdom who is very grateful and relieved. He tries to use Artificer's Insight upon it once again, but is unable to pierce its use.

Soon, all are sleeping soundly in the barn again.

22th Resplendent Air

Scarred awakens early and hungover. To make himself feel better he immediately starts drinking again.

Lisda enters the barn and asks the Misfits what their plans are. Unfortunately, Scarred, Savvy and Jade Wisdom are discussing slavery and its relative pros, cons, evils, and benefits. Of course, this means that Savvy gets quite mad. She storms off angrily, shouting for them to never speak to her again! After she has left, Scarred mutters to himself that it must be that time of the month.

Jade Wisdom explains to Lisda about the Guild boat, and their plan to use it to get back to Nexus. She thinks it is a good idea.

Phinnae flies after Savvy and manages to calm her down after a short while. They come back as everyone is ready to leave.

Once more, Phinnae takes to the sky and looks for the Guild boat. She spots it easily as it hasn't moved from the previous day. It is, however, a hive of activity. At about noon she arrives back at the village to inform everyone of this. She also brings back a deer, which Jade Wisdom cooks up for lunch - though with few vegetables or condiments he finds it hard to make it particularly interesting.

After lunch they head out of Riverwood. As they leave, Gare calls out to Lisda that she will always be his Perfect butterfly. (Ooh! Foreshadowing!!!)

Jade Wisdom attempts to reassure the old man that his daughter will be fine. The Jadeborn swears to do his best to ensure no harm comes to her, but the old man is not very reassured by any of this.

While traveling, Phinnae has the idea to become a mouse and hide aboard the boat to keep track of it.

Comments

Added links to the first age exalts and linked other NPCs to my pages. - Bencyclopedia

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
