The Blooming Court Ch. 7

Upon the group’s decision and departure, a rough semblance of a plan begins to form. Utilizing the knowledge that Shanks possesses of the Songbloom in combination with Zechs’ ranger abilities to find its location. Throughout their detour to obtain Glad’s boon, Galahad expresses his frustration with their situation and his disdain for the area. Eventually, the group breaks for the evening, and we see Turk getting another lesson in Thieves’ Cant and informing Shanks that he has quite the singing voice. Hoshino joins the two, and Turk informs Hoshino about how he got his nickname, Big T, and Hoshino regales them with a named tale of Arguile and Shanks fighting the Gathakanathi warriors. On this watch, Shanks gets the feeling, which is later confirmed, that they’re being watched. 

The second watch is Arguile and Hoshino, in which Hoshino learns about what transpired after his departure, particularly with his family and Arioch. Hoshino apologizes for not being there for him, but Arguile stops him and lets him know there’s nothing to forgive. Quickly changing the subject, Arguile asks his opinion on his fellow bard and who would be the better of the two. Hoshino deflects with a humble answer, and Arguile laughs. They go get Galahad and Zechs for the final watch. The conversation is light with Zechs poking fun at Galahad’s frustrations. 

Eventually, they wake the others and make preparations for the day, organizing spells and getting their daily goodberry. Duo confirms that their destination is about 2 days away. Shanks and Zechs continue to get the sense that they’re being watched. With that, Shanks decides to go into stealth mode to see if he can get eyes on their pursuers. We end with Shanks activating his gem of seeing, and he sees an armor-clad Loxodon that’s all too familiar with the group.

There’s so much happening, and that’s where we pick up…

The party had decided to take a short jump back into the past to set themselves up for success before moving forward with plans to tackle the Sons of the Serpent, as well as others who have dealings in the Vineyard. Kyver said goodbye to his family after a short time together. Rig called on the power of her bracers, and with that, the party skipped back to when they first reached the outskirts of Nymora. 

During that time, it was just when the caravan had arrived, and blighted creatures emerged from the forest in pursuit. The party saw young Arnable engage in combat with one of the creatures as they joined forces with him to take down the blighted creatures. Still in disguise, they headed towards the gate and blended into the crowd before looking for another inn to stay for the night. Dropping in at the Lion’s Den Inn, an inn that seemed a little shabby from the outside, they met Minnow, the elderly concierge, who gave them a large room for the night and some knives as welcoming gifts before they headed off to sleep for the night.
