What Really Happened
We start with the party splintered into almost as many places as possible1 Although it’s probably not wise to set challenges for the players. Dormal, Irillo and Sid settle into Rhigos, where Irillo is getting on with his legitimate business2 Selling a book of high class Lunar porn. Or possible a high class book of Lunar porn. Or maybe a class book of high Lunar porn. , while Dormal and his accomplice Devolin start their ‘legitimate business’ of scouting out to find the girl who ran away to Rhigos with something which might not have been hers. Dormal was unsuccessful, but unfortunately, Devolin was not. This is unfortunate, as it attracted the attention of the Powers that Be, and things being as they are, guards were sent to have a Word. Devolin, with his usually finely tuned sense for when things are going pear shaped leapt out of the window, and escaped, leaving Dormal to face the music.
Nala delivered the Unicolts back to her tribe and then had a vision suggesting she should return to Sartar and her Destiny.
Varanis, Serala, Finarvi, Rajar and Berra considered what to do next, and how to fill the gaps in their group. They asked Tennebris, who revealed he had divined on the issue, and advised them to get the group which had actually quested on Kero Finn back together to seek the best chances. Realising that they needed to subdivide further, Varanis, Serala and Finarvi headed south via Duck Point towards Nochet and Rhigos to get their Eurmali and their spare Issaries back, while Berra, D’Val and Rajar headed into Prax to fetch Nala back.
Dormal found himself in the palace dungeons, and tried escaping, largely to keep himself amused, but unexpectedly efficient guarding and then interrogation led to him realising he had been well and truly made, and then being kicked out with a warning that the price of the Demivirge to hand over the diadem was being made Queen of Nochet (and therefore Esrolia). He left Rhigos at speed comparable to that of Devolin, and headed back to Nochet by sea.
Meanwhile, after unexpectedly smooth travelling, Berra, Rajar and D’Val had headed into Prax, acquired a spare Bison for Rajar (and tried teaching D’Val to ride), and met up with Nala, to bring her back, and after a meeting with Granny, Varanis, Serala and Finarvi headed off by road towards Rhigos.
