*Before leaving [[Cynic]] convinces [[Dio]] to travel to [[Brassdorf]] to become the group's stable boy. On the way to the [[Outpost]] they are blocked by farmers pretending to be Brassdorf soldiers to extract money from passersby, but the group soon finds out and makes them stop. When they arrive at the Outpost the group briefly disperses to tend to their needs. [[Soul Damakos]] meets with [[Hachi Borosu]] to brief him on the [[Four Feathers]] and exchange new information on the status of [[Diremound]]. She is told to learn [[Kaimos|Kaimos']] whereabouts from the others, due to him being a suspect of the [[Scarlet Academy|Academy]] heist. After tending to their weapons and gaining provisions the group sets forth until they arrive at the [[lighthouse]] where they spend the night. [[Aragir]] uses scrying on his brother and learns that the library is still intact. That night he finds that there is a gap in the memory of his trance. After departing from the lighthouse it takes another two days and nights before they arrive in Diremound. ''(June 25th - June 28th)'' | |||
*The group finally enters Diremound and meet up with the stronghold leader [[Yandu]] and learn of his plans, after which they meet [[Aragir|Aragir's]] brothers as well as other members of the [[Conquest Chamber]]. When out scouting the perimeters [[Cynic]] is confronted by [[Soul Damakos]] about the Rattler's Revenge, though she is not convinced by his answers. After some animosity, the group convinces the Conquest members to join them into the city and stop by the [[Book of Intrigue]] library first so Aragir can pick up the original copy of [[Elrune Leonelis|Elrune Leonelis']] journal. When they try to take the journal it summons a Golem which they were supposed to defeat, but they lure it out of the library and manage to send it off to the harbor instead. Aragir finds a letter within the journal, addressed to his mentor [[Alduin Leonelis]], speaking of a strange creature and of some of the [[Mistbreaker|Mistbreaker's]] crew that got affected and turned violent.

*As the group heads towards the harbor, [[Soul Damakos|Soul]] briefly speaks with another [[Fold]] agent who informs her about their plan. At the harbor they see the area divided between the [[Conquest Chamber]] and [[Rattler's Revenge]], with the [[Fold]] still in hiding. The [[Scarlet Academy|Crimson Dawn]] mages were still hovering in the air, attacking the pirates' ship. Mindflayers and [[Skullmasters]] seemed to be using the Rattlers to execute their plan to extract a chest from the [[Realms|Shadowfell]]. The pirates' captain, [[Redeye]] was imbued with a [[Saffron Stone]] similar to [[Pietro Tiles]] in [[Abador]]. As battle ensued at the [[Fold]]'s signal, [[Cynic]] had a duel with his former captain while [[Loxen]] was able to extract the armor, another [[Vestige]], from the chest and absorb it into her own with help from [[Tempus]]. A shadow creature was able to partially escape from the fissure and grappled with the Golem. By the time the Mindflayers were gone, the [[Conquest Chamber]] had departed and the [[Skullmasters]] were nowhere to be found. ''(June 28th)'' | |||
*As the [[Conquest Chamber|Conquest Chamber's]] ship continued to sail away from the harbor, it seemed that it had been infiltrated by the [[Skullmasters]], who soon started to attack and claim the souls of those on board. The battle against [[Redeye]] and the Golem's grapple with the Shadow continued. After some convincing, the remaining member of the [[Scarlet Academy|Crimson Dawn]] decided to help the [[Four Feathers]] defeat the captain. When [[Redeye]] and the Shadow were defeated, the two spawned zombies and Golem remained. Unfortunately the ship had started to sink, forcing the refugees to slowly evacuate whilst under attack. [[Aragir]] and [[Loxen]] planned to attempt to go there by lifeboat. ''(June 28th)'' | |||
*While on the [[Scylla]] on their way to the sinking ship, [[Soul Damakos|Soul]] and [[Cynic]] find several things of importance in the captain's quarters, among which the captain's log and a world map with travel routes, though Soul is not keen on sharing her findings. [[Aragir]] and [[Loxen]] arrive at the capsized ship and start the fight with the [[Skullmaster]], soon followed by the other two [[Four Feathers|Feathers]]. When the Skullmaster is defeated [[Druindar]] is still missing, though he is soon saved from the sea and resuscitated by [[Loxen]] and the others. Another beam of light shoots up from the direction of [[Elkenveil]] and the Golem remains a threat at the harbor. ''(June 28th)'' | |||
*[[Aragir|Aragir's]] brothers and [[Loxen]] rush back to shore to stop the Golem, though [[Loxen]] is confronted by the members of the [[Scarlet Academy|Crimson Dawn]] for the armor she is now wearing. [[Aragir]] and [[Soul Damakos|Soul]] have a different idea and devise a plan to lure the Golem back onto the [[Scylla]] and drag it into the sea with a net attached to a cannon. The half-orc [[Fold]] commander informs [[Soul Damakos|Soul]] that their mission has failed, but [[Soul Damakos|Soul]] instead informs her of her own mission. [[Yandu]] tries to recruit [[Loxen]] for her deeds of heroism, but [[Loxen]] is not interested in fighting for just one group. Beams of light continue to periodically emanate from [[Elkenveil]], now with a higher frequency. [[Taz]] blames the [[Four Feathers]] for the fall of his ship. ''(June 28th)'' | |||
*[[Loxen]] leads the remaining refugees back inside [[Diremound]] to help build a makeshift camp. [[Aragir]] and [[Cynic]] convince [[Darius]] to provide space in the library for an infirmary. [[Cynic]] asks [[Darius]] about the [[Blood Knights]] and learns they are a legend from [[Esuna]]. While resting, [[Aragir]] notices that one of the beams of light from [[Elkenveil]] creates a temporary rift in which four shadows are seen, and an ordinary but foreign piece of brick is dropped from it. [[Soul]] helps [[Cynic]] boost the crowd's morale, and after [[Loxen]] has healed [[Aragir|Aragir's]] affliction they go inside the library for a proper introduction to his brothers, where they talk a bit about their family and place of birth.

(June 19th)
- While Delbellis is off to meet with Kira, her former master from Elderwalk, the remaining three go to their new residence. While going to the market Cerrule encounters a distraught carpenter and she ends up helping his trapped son together with Cynic and Aragir.

- Fleeing from the constructs they encountered in the futuristic room, they find out they are being pursued by Garr, Vaeri and some others.

(June 21st)

- Whilst asleep, the group receives a nightly visit from the Skullmasters who are looking for their Plague Shiv dagger, but Delbellis convinces them they don't have it. The next morning they are confronted by the real keeper of the lighthouse and sent on their way. After a day's travel they decide to make camp in a small cave at the cliffside. (June 21st-22nd)
- The party is yet again disturbed by the same group of Skullmasters at their camp. They manage to defeat them, though Undu falls in battle and his soul is taken by dark magic. After a night's rest the party continues their way to the Outpost, where they meet the Fold superior Hachi Borosu. (June 22nd-23rd)
- At the Outpost the group meets Fold superior Hachi Borosu and some others, including captain Mergom Mountbreak, elder Falco and a man named Skander Castro. Hachi tasks the Four Feathers with the retrieval of the royal family in the North. The group learns of Diremound's situation and its occupation by the Rattler's Revenge. Later that evening, Cerrule prays to Enoreth and is taken away to her realm. Moments later, a small dragonborn named Irlycys or alternatively Loxen is found snooping around in the group's private tent. After proving her worth, she joins the Four Feathers. Aragir sculpts a tree in Cerrule's honour. The group spends the night at the Outpost. (June 23rd-24th)
- After debriefing at the Outpost the group travels to Elderwalk. They find a couple of farmers from Greenmill along the way and take some of the gold they found. In Elderwalk, Delbellis is summoned to a meeting that ends less than favourable. The group continues to the local cathedral and find Kora with whom they speak about the Creation Myth. Delbellis is asked to join Kora to Avalon to attend the Summer's Blessing. (June 24th)
- While Delbellis ponders on whether to leave the group for Avalon, the group decides to help Aragir obtain the sacred information from the cathedral vault. They enlist the help of Delbellis' old friend Nyx. They visit a pub to obtain potion ingredients and then split up to execute their plan with a mock battle and another distraction. Delbellis then decides she will go to Avalon and the group spends their last moments sightseeing in Elderwalk. On top of the statue that serves as the town's lookout post, the group is confronted by members of the Getaways. (June 24th)
- The Four Feathers quickly take care of their Getaways attackers. They find a note addressing tracker Joe, signed by a certain 'Uncle', as well as a blood compass used to track Cynic. After the battle they discuss some things with Master Kira, Nyx and the newly introduced Scotty. They descend from the sculpture and proceed to stock up on some magical items before they continue on their way to Fayed's place, planning to have dinner. (June 24th)
- The Four Feathers have a hearty meal at Fayed's place, where they also see Nyx, Scotty and Delbellis' old alchemy teacher Monte BlueBarrel. They discuss Delbellis' travel to Avalon and the group's course to Oblimora and implore Fayed to help out the North. Later, Aragir uses Scrying on his older brother Druindar to see what is going on in Diremound and after this he and Cynic talk about their feelings about Delbellis' departure outside. They spend the night at Fayed's place. (June 24th- June 25th)
- The next morning, the group meets up with Korra and master Kira and when it is time for Delbellis to go, they quickly exchange gifts. Shortly after, they see Fold members taking the remaining Getaways member inside a building, and in front of it they meet Agent Soul Damakos, who suggests to join the party. She shares her briefing with them, and then helps them get inside to interrogate the Getaways grunt. After the interrogation, they decide to head North. (June 25th)
- Before leaving Cynic convinces Dio to travel to Brassdorf to become the group's stable boy. On the way to the Outpost they are blocked by farmers pretending to be Brassdorf soldiers to extract money from passersby, but the group soon finds out and makes them stop. When they arrive at the Outpost the group briefly disperses to tend to their needs. Soul Damakos meets with Hachi Borosu to brief him on the Four Feathers and exchange new information on the status of Diremound. She is told to learn Kaimos' whereabouts from the others, due to him being a suspect of the Academy heist. After tending to their weapons and gaining provisions the group sets forth until they arrive at the lighthouse where they spend the night. Aragir uses scrying on his brother and learns that the library is still intact. That night he finds that there is a gap in the memory of his trance. After departing from the lighthouse it takes another two days and nights before they arrive in Diremound. (June 25th - June 28th)
- The group finally enters Diremound and meet up with the stronghold leader Yandu and learn of his plans, after which they meet Aragir's brothers as well as other members of the Conquest Chamber. When out scouting the perimeters Cynic is confronted by Soul Damakos about the Rattler's Revenge, though she is not convinced by his answers. After some animosity, the group convinces the Conquest members to join them into the city and stop by the Book of Intrigue library first so Aragir can pick up the original copy of Elrune Leonelis' journal. When they try to take the journal it summons a Golem which they were supposed to defeat, but they lure it out of the library and manage to send it off to the harbor instead. Aragir finds a letter within the journal, addressed to his mentor Alduin Leonelis, speaking of a strange creature and of some of the Mistbreaker's crew that got affected and turned violent. (June 28th)
- As the group heads towards the harbor, Soul briefly speaks with another Fold agent who informs her about their plan. At the harbor they see the area divided between the Conquest Chamber and Rattler's Revenge, with the Fold still in hiding. The Crimson Dawn mages were still hovering in the air, attacking the pirates' ship. Mindflayers and Skullmasters seemed to be using the Rattlers to execute their plan to extract a chest from the Shadowfell. The pirates' captain, Redeye was imbued with a Saffron Stone similar to Pietro Tiles in Abador. As battle ensued at the Fold's signal, Cynic had a duel with his former captain while Loxen was able to extract the armor, another Vestige, from the chest and absorb it into her own with help from Tempus. A shadow creature was able to partially escape from the fissure and grappled with the Golem. By the time the Mindflayers were gone, the Conquest Chamber had departed and the Skullmasters were nowhere to be found. (June 28th)
- As the Conquest Chamber's ship continued to sail away from the harbor, it seemed that it had been infiltrated by the Skullmasters, who soon started to attack and claim the souls of those on board. The battle against Redeye and the Golem's grapple with the Shadow continued. After some convincing, the remaining member of the Crimson Dawn decided to help the Four Feathers defeat the captain. When Redeye and the Shadow were defeated, the two spawned zombies and Golem remained. Unfortunately the ship had started to sink, forcing the refugees to slowly evacuate whilst under attack. Aragir and Loxen planned to attempt to go there by lifeboat. (June 28th)
- While on the Scylla on their way to the sinking ship, Soul and Cynic find several things of importance in the captain's quarters, among which the captain's log and a world map with travel routes, though Soul is not keen on sharing her findings. Aragir and Loxen arrive at the capsized ship and start the fight with the Skullmaster, soon followed by the other two Feathers. When the Skullmaster is defeated Druindar is still missing, though he is soon saved from the sea and resuscitated by Loxen and the others. Another beam of light shoots up from the direction of Elkenveil and the Golem remains a threat at the harbor. (June 28th)
- Aragir's brothers and Loxen rush back to shore to stop the Golem, though Loxen is confronted by the members of the Crimson Dawn for the armor she is now wearing. Aragir and Soul have a different idea and devise a plan to lure the Golem back onto the Scylla and drag it into the sea with a net attached to a cannon. The half-orc Fold commander informs Soul that their mission has failed, but Soul instead informs her of her own mission. Yandu tries to recruit Loxen for her deeds of heroism, but Loxen is not interested in fighting for just one group. Beams of light continue to periodically emanate from Elkenveil, now with a higher frequency. Taz blames the Four Feathers for the fall of his ship. (June 28th)
- Loxen leads the remaining refugees back inside Diremound to help build a makeshift camp. Aragir and Cynic convince Darius to provide space in the library for an infirmary. Cynic asks Darius about the Blood Knights and learns they are a legend from Esuna. While resting, Aragir notices that one of the beams of light from Elkenveil creates a temporary rift in which four shadows are seen, and an ordinary but foreign piece of brick is dropped from it. Soul helps Cynic boost the crowd's morale, and after Loxen has healed Aragir's affliction they go inside the library for a proper introduction to his brothers, where they talk a bit about their family and place of birth. After setting up their personal tent Loxen and Erevan go out fishing while the rest enjoys some drinks. Soul investigates the captain's logs she had hidden and writes letters to her colleages, after which she questions Cynic about the Rattlers. After she explains why she is after them, Cynic agrees to help her on the condition that the good ones are spared. At night, Tempus speaks to Loxen about the armour, and how it has a will of its own. He suggests she kill something to fulfill its desire. Loxen questions the god's morals, but he convinces her that they are just. Aragir waits for the group to sleep so that he can read through Elrune's journal in silence. (June 28th)
