Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests descended into Takatari after encountering the two deities, Tlazocoatl and Shenshe, atop their mountain home where they gave their advice, blessings, and gifts to aid them on their journey forward. Making landfall, Kasumi became concerned with the state of her homeland. Much of the grass and vegetation is dead or dying. The vast farmlands are barren...

From the icy north to the High Forest, from depths of the ocean to the barren desert, the goofy, rag tag group of somehow highly efficient adventurers known as the Mercs for Hire have traveled nearly the width and breadth of the northern Sword Coast. After finding themselves in the midst of great turmoil and catastrophe the Mercs became the central players in a struggle between all of giant kind,...

As we proceed into a new chapter we'll take a quick look back on what has transpired on The Tales of Archeron, The Tempests had traveled to Aztlan so they could fix their companion Brick who had a faulty core.

  Last time on The Tales of Archeron, The Tempests enjoyed a few extra days living in the capitol city Colatl. They checked on their orders from the various Aztlan tradesmen and even enjoyed an afternoon of pampering at the Sunset Bathhouse. Soon enough, their audience with the Empress was set and they met early in the morning to, much to their horror, address the entirety of Colatl. While Moriko...

    Last time on The Tales of Archeron, we had a bit of a shopping episode! Brick stayed behind in Tolani Castle to learn more about his heritage and the guards he was modeled after while the other Tempests set out into the city to see what sort of mischief they could get into. Conveniently, a tour guide was assigned to them known as Mister Yoshi, a rather tall halfling of questionable age and lim...

Last we left off, the Mercs 4 Hire were finalizing their plan to hunt down the elusive ship know as the Morkoth. Upon deciding the best course was to use all their resources, they hired a ship through the Harpers and brought along their new dragon friend, Felgolos. Upon arriving at the general area the ship was said to be hiding in the group split up, covering more ground to find their quarry. Bef...

     Last time on The Tales of Archeron, with Pez obtaining a new quest from Coyote to find his companion Hambjerger, the Tempests venture onward to the capitol city of Aztlan, Colatl. Along the way, Pez completed the ritual to infuse Cassie's soul into the Wagon, dubbing it "Cassie's Sanctuary". A few of the party members were perturbed by the disembodied voice of their former beast of burden, bu...

     Last time on The Tales of Archeron, another Greim, Saedhir's Wrath, was supposedly slain after eating some of Empress Izel's Royal Guards and more importantly Hambjerger. Moriko's sharp eyes noticed a shape moving through the trees and gave chase, eventually tracking down and beating the ever living snot out of Saedhir's Wrath who had gone invisible to retreat. The rest of the party arrived a...

Last we tuned in, the Mercs 4 Hire successfully infiltrated the gambling barge known as the Great Dame. After a evening of subterfuge, in which Siren really shined, the wee hours of the morning started to drag on. At that point Peanut decided to speed things up and take matters into his own hands. He infiltrated the office of one Lord Drylund, and quickly established dominance. After realizing som...

Last we last left off, the Tempests had succeeded in fixing Brick's core and were waiting for the arrival of Empress Izel of the Aztlan Empire to come and inspect the repair progress of the Smithy city of Chichimec.

Last we left the Mercs 4 Hire, they had returned to Everlund to seek help from the Harpers in uncovering the origins of the wooden coin. After enlisting the help of Siren's brother, Telemachus, they settled into wait while the spies did their thing. After a few days of downtime, during which Peanut started scratching names off his hit list, Telemachus returned with bad news. The coin was a gamblin...

Picking up where we last left off, Brick’s prank backfired horribly as his consciousness was transferred into his new body, causing many of the Tempests to lose their trust in the mechanical giant. Brick tried desperately to try to make amends and made a little headway, but still has much ground to cover. The tempests spent the next few days helping repair the Chichimec smithy, get their wagon ope...

After that and some shopping, the Mercs used their new Conch to teleport themselves into the depths of the Maelstrom, a storm giant fortress at the bottom of the ocean. They explored this fortress, sneaking past some denizens, and plundering some rooms (no one will notice...

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests made a difficult decision and decided to slay the innocent, peaceful creature known as a Ketsali despite the warnings that it was considered bad luck. The potential profit of completing their quest to fix Brick early outweighed the potential negative outcome. Sure enough, the creature was salin and the necessary crystals harvested from its corpse, m...

Last time of Storm Kings Chaos: After discovering they had no way of retrieving the cloud giants Conch of teleportation, the group decided to arrange a meet with Countess Sansuri.

Their new companion in hand, the Tempests ventured further into the Pakyotl regio...
