1st Ascending Fire
Taros, Baos and Incomparable Hammer come down to the Nexus Pool to visit the unlikely quartet before the yacht launches. As Baos boards the vessel, Jade Wisdom is struck by a memory of recognition but fails to recall exactly where he has seen the short man before.
After Taros introductions, Baos explains that he had served in the Lookshy Military force under Karal Fortunate Serpent when Jade Wisdom had joined. In the sudden attack that broke and scattered the small force on the journey to Lookshy, Baos had Exalted as a Dawn Caste. Yan-Tu Resolute Ox, the Immaculate Priest of Lookshy faith, was quite unhappy about the Anathema, but let him leave the Lookshy army in peace. The Solar's subsequent investigations had uncovered that Mask of Winters was behind the attack. He eventually found his way to Nexus and joined with Taros and Incomparable Hammer. Together they were looking for ways to combat the Deathlord. Incomparable Hammer in particular was providing valuable weapons support.
Jade Wisdom offers his support in the struggle against Mask of Winters and pledges the aid of the Mountainfolk once he has been able to return to Urvar and expose the conspiracy that forced him into exile. Baos accepts this offer gracefully and asks Jade Wisdom to help convince Scarred to join his Circle with Taros and Hammer. Jade Wisdom promises to do what he can in that regard, also.
For the rest of the morning the yacht is prepared and after lunch finally leaves Nexus.
Three of the emancipated slave girls (Bitchy, Groany and Feral) join the party as the beginnings of a Cult towards Savvy.
Phinnae acts as Captain and skillfully navigates the boat past all the other traffic into the middle of the river and away. The day is warm and humid, though pleasant.
