Participants: Jean Berée, Sir Carmillon, The Ashen Hawk, Zinlynndise Imare
Locations: Sea of Stone and its shore
Loose Threads: Orosin’s Anubis camp, the big eye ball who owned the prison.
Short summary:
The party met with Orosin Oroborino, and spoke about scouts, who apparently were replaced by impostors, one of whom was named Dio.
Full report: Zinlynndise
Oh boy, where to begin with this adventure? We did a lot! We were quickly approached by a scout named Orosin, who told some confusing story about how impostors were among the other scouts - namely a mean figure by the name of Dio! Jean checked out the records and found some inconsistency, so it checked out.
We travelled towards the water’s coast by the Sea of Stone, where Dio’s impostors were said to meet, with Orosin traveling with us. Orosin left, and Dio brazenly walked into our camp and attacked us with lots of Zombies! We defeated Dio, but Orosin vanished, so we tried to track him with poor success in the rain. We eventually bumped into this really cold Ghost lady, who was tough, but Orosin showed up to help.
Orosin explained that he was part of some Anubis group hunting Dio, and did a very big sneaky to get past the Guild. He offered us to join him, but we refused - too suspicious. We set up our own camp and Orosin showed up again - but it wasn’t Orosin, it was Dio! We fought him again and tracked his trail in the morning back to the coast. There we found this really neat underwater prison place where Dio reincarnates. We broke the reincarnation fountain and skedaddled away!
Personal Note: The prison had a door connected to some strange eyeball creature thing. Like a big ole deep one or something. He was a little silly, did some mind reading things, then let me go.

Additional tidbits:
- The Guild originally sent scouts in pairs. After 4 pairs went missing (8 scouts) in a 2 week span, the Guild started sending larger groups.
- Orosin was part of the scout group that discovered the mysterious figures. He identified one of them as a man named Dio. Despite the disappearances in the last 2 weeks, Dio's been gone for 4 months
- Dio was spotted near the water's edge on the coast about 1 days travel on horseback (2-3 hexes away). He was with a group of 4 to 5 other figures.
- Orosin's scouting group subsequently went missing, giving Orosin free time. It seems Orosin turned tail and ran as his group confronted the mysterious figures themselves (?). The group has not returned.
- Adventuring parties have also identified Dio to be a spellcaster now, though he wasn't one before. According to the Guild, no other scouts/parties have gone missing in the area except Orosin's party. So Dio went missing 4 months ago, 8 scouts went missing in the past 2 weeks, and yet Orosin's party is the only one to be considered missing in the area.
- Dio has written 6 reports. The first 2 differ from the last 4, giving reason to believe the last 4 have been forged or created in Dio's style. The timing seems to correspond to the time Dio went missing? (Though how does a missing person submit reports?)
