Iteration: 610B98-K27D41 Designation: Mercurial Avengers I’ve tried this in various different ways, with various combinations of members, but never with five individuals from this particular timeline.

Nestled between the Barrier Mountain Range to the west and the Unending Seas to the east in the transitional forests of the Gathering Storm, a city of opposing but interconnected sides quietly exerts influence on the rest of […]
The party resumes their journey by visiting Arguile’s contact, the Shade, once more to negotiate the terms of Galahad’s belt. After this, the group returns to see Mr. Strauss, who asks Arguile if he would like to see Dorna to confirm his truthfulness. There is a momentary pause as Dorna turns to where Yurik has […]

With yellow eyes, pale […]
