Synopsis of Chapter One: The Plate

I put it into more of a bullet form this week because there was a lot to cover.
FYI each Palladium month has 28 days, or four weeks. at the end of the year they have a special "half-week" to keep the calendar aligned.

Þriðjudagur (thrĭth-yĭ-da-ger) Maí 25, 3839 A.P.
Silus left to meet with Ankar about what kind of deal could be offered to you.
Grant, a friend of Oki's, stopped by to let you know that you were all in danger and being watched constantly. Oki and Grant work out travel arrangements the group to ride the Veloz out of town. He'll take his payment later and tells you keep your money for now. Grant plans to bring friends by for a party to create cover for your escape.

The plan of escape to leave through the root cellar, which leads into the catacombs under Ricmorn.
Silus returns with an offer from Ankar which includes loads of money, protection, and the right to have the plate back after his research is done. The offer for free passage, or passage of any kind, to the Eastern Territories (Gevril, to be exact), has been withdrawn as you are being followed by too many interests at this time.

The guests start arriving, and so do the wolfen, knocking at your back door. You tell them that you are not going to take their deal and they tell you that this is most regrettable. Shortly afterward, city guards come knocking at the door. This is your cue to leave.

You all escape into the catacombs and are happily making your way now into the sewers when pfft! Agar disappears!

Agar was summoned using the hair and blood by someone who is most likely Churokand a lady friend named Asuka. Asuka blows Churok's head off using a Skedic pistol and demands that Agar tell her who he is and where the plate is. Fortunately Agar was not transported too far away as he is somewhere near Zog's lair. Zog the za. Asuka escorts Agar back out towards the rest of the group.

The rest of the party backtracks and meets up in Zog's lair. There they meet the za, a demonic winged doglike creature. The fight many expected never comes and it seems as though powerful (demonic?) force has possessed poor old Zog. The entity warns the group that it is in way over its head and that it knows what they have and who they are. Oh well, time to leave as the great vaulted room begins to collapse.. Oki provides a convenient dimensional teleport that gets you all to the docks and on board the Veloz.

miðvikudagur Maí 26, 3839 A.P.– You spend Wednesday on board the Veloz, screaming along the open sea at 30kts. During this time you get to know a little about Asuka (aka Songia) Hasder's daughter, although she is not the most talkative of people. She dresses as though she were from the East and wears a little choker with a small “X” pendant. She is pissed at you all and expects you to repay your debt to her father for your complete idiocy, but at least she understands that you were duped by “that @#$! Elf” as she calls Silus. Right now she is interested in getting the plate to a safe haven.

fimmtudagur Maí 27, 3839 A.P.– You arrive in Wertouth. Nobody wants to stay in Wertouth, a small city in the very south of the elven territory of Ellendel. The captain, Bhurgen, will take you to Elgretisland for 1200 apiece. Since you have Hasder's money you agree.

föstudagur Maí 28, 3839 A.P.– Elgretisland welcomes you like a swarm of angry bees as the Misarlon ambush you in the busy main street market. One of the seven, a dwarve, steals the backpack from Landros and hell breaks loose. People running, screaming. A horse that the dwarve tries to use to get away is first knocked down by the sekai, then pulverized into ground meat by a Riga. But, somehow you manage to get the backpack with the plate in it and jump through another rift, courtesy of Oki, and land outside of Bathfells. There you split up and try a safe way to Aja, a place where you hope you will find some relief from this chase. Oh, yes! And Oki got a brief view of the mind of a Misarlon and may have some useful gold nuggets of information. Of course, the member of the seven also saw everything that Oki knows.

Outlook – You have found a smugglers path that runs down to Slódaulur, although you will have to watch out for dragons and drug runners. The path is 300 miles to Aja from here, or given the slow nature of mountain trails, 20 days. Ah, the classic fortnight trek, right? In that amount of time the Misarlon will certainly have reached Bathfells and be back on your trail. Obviously they have informants everywhere, so maybe they'll know you have been here sooner than later.
