Session 102: 2nd August 2022 - Gifts
The group return to the boat, quickly following Theo and Braz who seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Alke told them of the tunnels they visited, it seems they have discovered entrances to the underworld and beyond, the Nether Sea and a Mithral Mine.
Xan brings the gifts to Calliope and presents them to her, explaining where she obtained the materials in their journey across the lands - flags from the games and curtains, materials from tablecloths and one beautiful iridescent silvery piece. She presents them to her, and while Callipoe is clearly touched, she simply thanks her. Calliope says she is not sure what her favourite colour is, Versi always chose them for her.
Xan pulls a needle and thread from her pockets and gestures for Calliope to stand, and they gently and quietly begin to refine the tunics and pin them to her friends body.
They hear footsteps, Helikaon thundering about on the ship. Shouts of EGG rattle through the corridor, surprising Xan so much that she accidentally nips Calliope with a pin. She both make their way down to the commotion, and join the room of people staring at Helikaon’s egg.
It becomes a dragon - Argurios.
As they sleep Kyrah tells a story of Pythor about his conquest in war and lovers. His wife Hexia captured the sisters and turned them into stone, placing them on an island as a warning to others who may entertain Pythor. The five stars if the sky represent each of the conquests.
Home
They approach the Isle after a nights sail, Xan navigating the inlets and placinng the ship on the islands only beach.
King Taryn has taken over - the one who was framed by Moxena
The ship has been spotted so they must create a ruse.
Theo, Alke, Calliope and Bullbug are “exiled”
Xan, Hippofilius, Helikaon, Braz and the rest of the crew sail off to meet with Captain Gold.
