Rou hears soft crying nearby and, believing it to be Elaine, begins to call out for her. When he realizes that the crying is synced with the shivering form of Eight, he goes to comfort his friend. Eight shares that during the night they experienced visions of a person called Amara, and experienced a series of life events through her eyes. Rou ensures that he’ll do his best to help Eight understand...

As Rou relaxes after a long day of travel, he hears a twig snapping just outside of camp. On alert, he tries to get Eight’s attention and realizes that his friend appears to have been deactivated. Braving the wilderness on his own, he finds the source of the noise: a young woman who believes him to be a “Packless”.  Rou spends the evening with her, discussing the pros and cons of packs and being o...

Rou and Eight have set up camp after leaving Marble Moon, and as Eight takes the time to perform some tinkering their vision goes dark. When their eyes open, they find they are no longer near the campfire with Rou, but in an unknown desert. As the night carries on, Eight experiences visions belonging to a person named Amara. Through her, Eight experiences love, happiness, danger and despair.   Fol...

Rou, Eight and Tamsin enter a room of white marble, bright light and what appears to be the tops of clouds. Bubbles float, seemingly harmless, throughout the room. In order to assess if the clouds cover a walkway, Eight summons Eight Jr to walk off the ledge where they stand. When Eight Jr disappears they realize they must find another way to the door in the distance. As each member touches a bubb...

The group enters a room laden with a veritable feast, violin music playing from a mysterious source and the only door has three keyholes. While Rou and Tamsin waste no time dismantling the room to search for the keys, Eight assists by delicately removing place settings and pouring wine. When they are able to get the door open, they find it once again leads to a dark abyss. Crossing the threshold,...

The trio heads through the massive stone doors and are teleported down into the labyrinth. They are forced to dodge bouts of flame, fight bodiless armor and trace their way through a maze of passages. Guided by Tamsin’s knowledge from previous attempts, they make quick work of the first portion. When the group arrives at a room containing only two doors, one which always tells the truth and the ot...

However, his actions summon a necromancer that has been hiding within the...

The group follows the stairs to a room where a floating gem resides. Eight summons an ally, whom they call “Trap Friend” to trigger potential traps before they press on. Once the passageway is considered safe, they move into the next area which houses a set of passages. One passageway has been flooded with murky water and the other is decorated from floor to ceiling with bones. As they continue fu...

The sound of rocks falling to the ground portents a guardian of the temple. The group must react quickly or they will fall prey to its crushing grip like Dawson’s companions did long ago.  Dawson activates the magic of his hammer, lava appearing to flow from it as power courses through it. Rou, realizing the danger the group is in, tries to draw the creature’s attention so the group could attempt...

Eight and Rou spend the evening hearing stories from Dawson’s adventures before setting off for the temple the next morning. They also learn a little more information about their upcoming adventure, mainly that Dawson lost several friends the last time he was there. The group arrives at the entrance of the temple, and decide to camp within the cavern entry until daylight in the event they need a q...

As Eight and Rou continue their journey south, they happen upon the town of Honey Hills. Honey Hills is known for its apiaries and bee related products, and both delight in the available items for purchase. While stocking up on their provisions, one of the patrons overhears their conversation and introduces himself. Dawson is an adventurer on the verge of retirement, who is looking for people to h...

As combat ensues, Eight summons Eight Jr, but in a much larger form. Shepherd leans into his more basic instincts as he lunges for Thistle, while Rou tries one last time to get information about Hunter before it’s too late. His attempts go unheard, however, as Thistle violently lashes out. Once Thistle is defeated, Hunter is located within the hut with help from Eight Jr. Shepherd, overcome with j...

Sprickle-sprack has left the group at the entrance to Thistle’s home, and as time ticks on it occurs to Shepherd that his time is running out. He confesses to the group that he’s not really as he seems to be, and is worried he might not see Hunter before his time runs out. As they walk closer, they hear a haunting melody being sung from within the hut. Shepherd and Rou sense danger and become wary...

While Eight and Shepherd are sure that they need to enter the portal, Rou isn’t so sure. The group takes their time looking for tracks and testing out the portal, knowing that it could very well be a one-way trip. When they see someone appear in the portal, they try to call out and get their attention. While it appears they can hear the calls, it seems they can’t see the group and carry on. Rou, E...

Rou and Eight follow Shepherd to his cabin in the woods, where they have been offered a safe place to sleep. Hunter appears to still be missing, and his absence is clear in the disarray of the cabin. As Rou and Shepherd sleep, Eight spends their time tidying the cabin and then pokes around to see if they can find out more about their host. During their search, they find Hunter’s journal. The last...

Rou and Eight find a letter left by Arthas and begin their journey south. As they set up camp after a long day of travel, they ponder whether or not the “quest” Arthas has taken on is real. During their discussion, they hear a disturbance in the brush. Hidden in the foliage is a human, named Shepherd. Rou and Eight ask Shepherd to join them for supper, and learn that he has been in search of someo...
