Facets of Fate

This is it - the real last episode for the Chronologist Chronicles! Karazarak's return is no longer a looming threat (for now), but the party still has some things to do. . .notably tending to their fallen ally. Hieronymous is struck with a touch of melancholy, as this is not the return he was expecting, while the others help and prepare for the next leg in their personal journeys. Vinique complet...

The Chroniclers check in with their allies after clearing the Rumbledome and interrupting the ritual taking place. Unfortunately, the pillar of light above Waldman's Menagerie turns red. The light from the east and west rends the sky asunder with crimson lightning as they draw toward the center of the city causing damage to the infrastructure. With no time to waste, the party rushes to the center,...

The elder twin Stabman, Prince Archibald is confirmed alive by the party, if not happy and healthy. Their position immediately revealed to the enemy, the team leaps from the stands and into action, cutting down Black Knights and cultists alike. A bald and annoying cult leader pretends he's cool enough to get into a wizard fight with Roscoe but learns the true nature of badass magic the hard way. K...

The Chroniclers confront the Azarai Priestess and Cultists of Karazarak in the mausoleum at the center of the Queen's Grove.

Snarl keeps a foot in each realm of harm and heal, Xyfiel learns blood is thicker than water, Stabman screams the...

Xyfiel is the first to notice a pillar of light erupting from the coliseum to the south, but the entire castle quickly scrambles into action. The Chronologists meet on a patio with the King and Brinhilde to assess as more pillars of light make an appearance in other parts of the city. . .including the Queen's Gardens. Following Roscoe's lead, the group rushes to meet the enemy and finds a familiar...

The gang meets the man that passed such incredibly dominant masculine genes down to Hieronymous: King Stabman himself! Wounded in the previous days' combats, but not out of the fight, he fills everyone in on what has happened. Though Hieronmyous and his friends were able to take out a contingent of Knights and dispel Waldman for a time, the King fears many more enemies lie in wait throughout the c...

Confronting vast swaths of mysterious black knights, the party desperately faces off against Waldman Stabman. When Waldman flees Roscoe gives chase, soaring close behind the villain. Armor is sundered and ghosts are thundered all while everyone has intrusive thoughts about clowns...

Snarl, Xyfiel, Roscoe, and Stabman arrive at the Stablands capitol only to find it eerily deserted.

Dark revelations unfurl themselves as the group moves further. . .into the Stabla...

Accosted by the mysterious Black Knights on the road to the Stablands, Snarl, Stabman, Roscoe, and Xyfiel desperately fight back. Roscoe's disregard for the flammability of the forest leads to unforeseen consequences that would make Smokey the Bear cry in the fetal position. Stabman hatches a dangerous plan, but will it be enough to make it out of the forest with life and limb?   Follow us on Inst...

The initiates prepare for the journey east, across the southern edge of the Hinterlands, to the remote kingdom of the Stablands. When the Hurtz Inter-Hinterland Wagoneers arrive, they do so with friendly faces in the mix: Urthur Broadbarrow, having left Immerfell to join the initiates in the field, and the harpy-beset duo Roscoe "Lightning" Thislewhip and Phyllisus "Danger" Forkwalker! No mere one...

Snarl and Snort share a tense moment, but they don't have much time for discussion as a scream for help pierces the patter of rain and rumble of thunder. Intruders with murderous intent have invaded the Chalet, putting everyone in danger, and the gang leaps into action to fend off the threat! Taking out enemies from the top floor to the cellar, they meet a familiar foe attempting to free (or possi...

The initiates arrive at the Chalet Brantifax. With Fordson unconscious, they agree to secure their prisoner first thing - Vinique letting them stash their duergar quarry next to a well in the cellar with a spooky history. They head upstairs to greet and dine with their wereraven hosts (for a meal that definitely is not worms and seeds). Stabman is called home. Xyfiel questions Fordson. Snarl is pr...

After a mishap with explosives, Lea and Vondis are sent spiraling into the river below. The group splits their efforts between saving the innocent kids from Fordson's violence and inflicting violence upon Fordson in return. Stabman hounds his quarry, while Snarl and Xyfiel leap into action to recover the children. After Stabman clashes with the excessively slippery Fordson, and Snarl and Xyfiel ar...

The group reconvenes after their harrowing experience with several vicious cat demons and investigates the cries of the very real elven children calling for help. The wereraven also helps the kids to their feet, and reveals themselves to be Snarl's child, Snort von Vicious! They call themselves Vinique, now that they are a wereraven, and leave for Chalet Brantifax after having a heavy conversation...

The seemingly empty hamlet of Wytchway lies before our Chronologist Initiaties and Co, mist low to the ground and ravens high in the sky. The abandoned farms are home to 30-50 feral hogs, of which one seems to have a mysterious connection to Stabman. Snarl wants to make the most of her magic to find Fordson while Xyfiel and Stabman root around the town hall for clues. With Madeline in tow, Snarl e...

Roscoe is whisked away as quickly as he arrived, and Phyllisus chases after him, leaving the Initiates to regroup with their scribes and triplets.

Back at the Bored Weasel Inn, Lukas shares a hefty sum of money with the party, for the deeds completed on his behalf. Xyfiel celebrates, gets a litt...

Snarl, Stabman, Xyfiel, and Roscoe finally arrive in Vermeillon after defeating the triplet-hungry harpy. Remembering their promise to Lukas, they pay their respects to his late wife on his behalf.

After dealing with the threat with the help of a surprise ally, and informing the Chronologist scribes to st...

Trudging through rain and mountain passes toward certain doom, the gang makes their way to Vermeillon. They stop to rest their damp bones at an outpost inn and meet a familiar (and badass) face. Steeling themselves, the party travels deeper into the Godspine Mountains. They head to the ghost town with only a single Otis Spunkmeyer blueberry muffin to save them from a strange creature stalking thei...

After being caught sneaking around, Snarl and Xyfiel discuss Fordson's condition with Brosh. Afterward, plans are made on what to do next. As exciting as it would be to witness Brosh exorcise Fordson, they decide to pursue a lead that sends them into the mountain passes to the north. The journey would take them through the outpost town Vermeillon, and end in an abandoned mining town called Maerin,...

Stabman casually meets up with one of the most powerful people in the region to see if he can't lift a demonic curse on one of the most prolific scholars of the time. Perfectly normal things. Meanwhile, Xyfiel and Snarl head back to CU HQ to await Stabman's return and check in on the scribes' progress copying the gingwatzim books. Stabman indeed returns with Brosh and PROTEIN, and everybody shares...

After acquiring three gingwatzim copies of intriguing books, and delegating the task of copying them to some Chronologist scribes, the Rank 2 Initiates take a beat to figure out what to do in their free time. After a hearty continental breakfast, though sadly sans milk, they decide to run some errands and do some research. Snarl and Xyfiel peruse curious books, though not as directly related to th...

The Initiates pay a visit to the Amberdune Books group home down in Umbergate, making sure to definitely get their point across that they just want an actually really real book. After a bit of a scuffle, the jackalweres' booksellers' leader, Korvala, makes an appearance to cool everything down and broker a deal. Snarl, Stabman, and Xyfiel then head back to the CU HQ but encounter one more minor an...

The Chronologist Initiates receive Mazfroth's Mighty Digressions, but quickly determine it's not what it seems.

The Chronologist Initiates make their way back to the Chronologist Union HQ, debriefing Broadbarrow on the book-turned-life-sucking-energy-construct. They decide to confront the Amberdune Books peddlers, heading to the Highbrand neighborhood.
