Scene Opens to noon on a Stonemarch (Saturday) in Solvire (June) in Emilee's shop "The Clockwork Eitherworks", Pippy is running wild, Emilee is behind the counter, Valeria is at the forge, and Sebastian is reading. Emilee tosses some acorns at Pippy and tells her to chill out. She takes them and settles down to eat her nuts. (hehe- I'm trying to add humor). Emilee checks on Sebastian before he goes out to "stretch his legs" (hehe), Sootwell, a giff, calls him over to his shop, they chat claiming Emilee is stealing all the customers before continuing and bumping into Paulina Shiversword, a woman who comes on VERY strong on the flirting, he appologizes for bumping into her and they exchange a small conversation about his chair and The Emilee Rose. They end up going for a spot of tea, at a place Sebastian knows. -insert ceremonial off-topic conversation while Robert drops the lore of days and months - The Tea shop, "The Cottontail Cafe" is ran by a male Harengon named Thistle Buckwarren who wants to rename it, against his mother's wishes until she dies, "The Burrow and Bean", he thinks she is on her death bed though. (damn bro) Thistle calls to Sebastian, then he orders his usual but double, the harengon then assumes that he is "tired of Emilee already even though it has only been a year." Paulina and Sebastian chat while waiting for their order. Sebastian studies Magic when he doesn't help with the shop. He goes into a very Sheldon Cooper like explanation of magic to Paulina. The tea comes,Thistle also throws in some blueberry scones on the house, Paulina adds more sugar then explains it is like how her Haruni (Grandmother in Elvish) used to make it. Paulina asks if he and Emilee are an item and he explains that they are not. Then a lizardfolk comes in with a gun and points it at Thistle and demands his coin. Paulina casts finger guns at the guy, hits him and as he falls, a jar with a gray power is hit as the gun still fires. Thistle is PISSED, he essentially rages, Sebastian calms him and Thistle explains it was his grandmother's ashes. Paulina holds the lizardfolk in place while Thistle uses a Sending Stone to call the authorities. After a Shakespearean insult from Paulina a leonin and a harengon in guard uniforms enter and ask what happened, Paulina explains. Officers are like- "Really Richard?" Then the lizardfolk admits he is under the influence a little. (WOW DUDE THAT IS MAJOR CRIME LMAO).
They throw the lizardfolk into a blue and red carriage before a blue shimmer covers it. Thistle explains his daughter, Clover his almost at the right age to start helping out. (Insert Sarah's small breakdown over a parallel to her own life... Clover is Sarah its Cannon fuck you). He explains that his daughter LOVES Paulina and she tells him she will WRITE HER A POEM ABOUT THE BAKERS DAUGHTER. Then they leave the tea shop, Sebastian warns Paulina they have a bushtail who is very hyper as they head back to the shop Emilee owns. The streets are ( paved with cheese jk ) are a little less crowded than earlier and they get back to the shop easily. There is a Vulpin customer at the counter with Emilee. Luther Bloodfang's gun isn't ready and he's upset. They rush his order for his competition the next day. She charges 30 gold, receives 3 platinum (the equivalent). She sends him to Sootwell's shop for a holster. Paulina introduces herself to Emilee. She asks for a gun. Emilee requires her certifications. Pippy stands quiet until she is called out for her Electrum then she has an ADHD moment as they introduce themselves. Then a man, Veydris Nightbane enters iin a huff, claiming he NEEDS to speak to them, urgently. He tells them that they need to leave the city and that Paulina's uncle is en route. but the others need to leave for a few days IF we choose not to pursue what is in the scroll. He knows what Emilee knows about her friend, Valeria. Well, fuck, Valeria is Caelithra, Goddess of Firearms. Val trusts him, so Emilee trusts him. They start getting ready to leave. Sootwell is at the door, he hands Emilee a very long box, she opens it and inside is a raiper with multiple canisters with different color powers. Each being a different element. Then hands her a box with more canisters, and then hands everyone a bag of holding. The rest of the town is distracted, with a Two Flutes concert.

Outside, Veydris' eyes turn from their natural color into a purple and sigils surround us and shadows peak from his hands. Once the circle completes, a dome of darkness and shadow encapsulates us. We are sucked into the ground. A very low ding as the dome opens like an elevator. Veydris speaks to a man outside. It's the God of Time and Space, Chronarion. Then we continue on the way. Then it just stops. The dome fades, we are now on Veydris' property in a small farmtown about 5 miles from town. They are given chairs then Pippy is given a dictionary. Then we are offered food and drinks, Emilee gets a black coffee, Paulina gets her grandmother's tea, Pippy gets an apple juice, Sebastian wants a glass of Red Wine, aged Iron Oak 345.. We are able to listen to the words of someone from the future to tell us everything. From this black and purple rift then closes. From a portal on the right side of the room, steps out a shadowy form, a armadillian apears, his name is Zennith. He is from the time before us and the time after us but he is not of the time with us. ( okay cryptic mofo )

He explains, that soon the land will need its protectors. That there was a war in Brasshollow and they grew distant from the rest of the world.

Zennith speaks again, we aren't needed for anything big at the moment but each town has its problems, just to solve these problems right now. We go to our individual rooms that cater to us. Pippy's room is a forest with a pond. Paulina's is a stage with maniquins acting out her plays with an ornate canopy bed that faces the stage. It reminds her of her old room growing up with Lilibet. Sebastian's is a spruce door with arcane sigils on it, inside is plenty of accomedations for his wheelchair, even a bed that has a lip that lets him get into the bed easier. They also remind him of home. A book on the desk, a book on the Mythos and its connections with Magic, and to look outside his window would be Sylvaris. Emilee's looks like her childhood bedroom but adultified. Once they get into their rooms, Emilee goes to Sebastian's room and explains everything then they all go to bed.

We awaken on Skydawn (Sunday), 17th of Solvire (June), there is a tray on a table in each room with breakfast on it. Pippy's breakfast consists of nuts (spefically - acorns and peanuts), berries (mostly raspberries) and bread (toast). Emilee has a traditional English Breakfast with the morning alcholic tipple, Sebastian has some scones, with Clotted Cream and Jam with Black Tea, Paulina has scones with strawberry jam and black tea with sugar, and eggs and soldiers (im sorry what? My brain thought she was Astalia for a sec ngl). Then we all hear a knock on our doors with a note slipped under. Paulina sips her tea then gets the note. Sebastian uses mage hand to get it. Emilee and Pippy just get it normally. The note reads: Once Finished with Breakfast meet me in the front room. I have some possible assignments that you guys might be intrested in. Paulina finishes her breakfast then goes to Emilee's door. Paulina asks Emilee if she can call her Emilee instead of "Rose", Emilee agrees to let her. Paulina takes a sigh of relief and thanks her and asks Emilee to keep it secret. Emilee agrees. Emilee goes to the table grabs her tipple and goes with Paulina to the front room. Sebastian gets himself ready and wheels himself to the room. Pippy finishes her food and heads out looking for everyone. She gets lost until she runs into Paulina on the way back to her room. They chat about how Pippy got lost then they head to the room together. They join Emilee and Sebastian in the room. Veydris walks in and spooks Emilee. Veydris ensures that the accommedations were good for Sebastian. On a table he sits at that was not there before, are three quests. Paulina is intrested in the quest that might involve battle. Sebastian is intrested in the "Fetch" quest. Emilee wants context on a missing person. They accept all three quests but to complete the missing person first.

Paulina reveals that Shiversword is not her real last name. It is that she is of the Thistles. Emilee gives them her life story. Veydris has them go to their rooms where their gear would be waiting for them. Paulina checks in with her sister Lilibet Thistle. Sebastian and Emilee have keys to the hub and it is explained that they cannot use it to bypass travel time. Pippy grabs her gear and her trinket. She cannot reach into her bag so she reaches in and its NUTS. She also has books and as she's leaving she gets a slingshot. (IM SORRY WHO LET HER HAVE A SLINGSHOT? It was me- I gave Robert and Renai the idea) We get back to Veydris and he is reading a first Edition of 50 Shades of Burlap. He sends us on our way after giving Sebastian a sending stone. It's about a 2-Day walk. They head out to Sylvaris.

They go through the night after reaching a strange house. They wake up with Pippy holding an egg!? ( FUCK NO PIPPY ) Pippy examines the egg. It is a Velvynx egg and Pippy wants it more. She names HER Frankie. They arrive in the tavern an hour later. They go into a tavern and meet the Jerbeen. Emilee goes up to the bar and drinks a tankard of Starglow. Sebastian joins her at the bar.

Paulina introduces herself to Mintri. He says he is looking for Nikros Vexmoor. Intially he belived that he was off researching for a book. ( Insert Emotional Damage from Legends ) He produces a Blue handkerchief that belonged to him. Frankie attempted to steal the squrriel ring.

Sebastian is given a free ale by the barkeep, an orc by the name of Galdrum Jr. Turns out the barkeepers dad was on the council, Galdrum was the name. The bartender gives Sebastian the spellbook that he had lent Galdrum, (insert over emotional Sarah)

Session begins with us still in the tavern. Sebastian takes the book. Pippy takes Frankie and runs to a inn room to bond. Emilee pays for it. Emilee wanders the town window shopping. She walks to a shop with mannequins with marks on their bodies. Paulina also goes about the town in search of an armor shop. She finds one that has armor at 10-15 Platinum but they appear hand made in every way. There are also cheaper options and assorted rings for 1 gold each with a sign stating:

All Sales Final

She picks up a ring and it turns to a jade ring in the shape of a frog. She pulls out a couple more rings each changing as it is lifted from the box. She looks for one in the shape of a shield but cannot seem to find it. She starts to look at armor. She calls out from the armor, asking for some help a young voice asks for a minute, a small elven child comes out from behind the counter. The elf says they are 8 years old and their mother and father won't be back till late because they are in a meeting. Paulina asks for the elves name. He responds, Riven Merris. Riven proves he knows what the fuck he's doing without his parents around. He and Paulina talk Elven Chain and if he has any. Surprise! He actually has one Elven Chain. He charges her 24 gold for the armor and 4 rings. The kid's dad is allergic to platinum so they can't take it, forcing Paulina to look into Studded Leather options. The kid jokes that "daddy calls it a +1". She buys it and the rings for 15 Gold, 15 Electrum, 10 Silver. Then sold her old armor for 2 silver. Then leaves. She then walks over to the shop Emilee went into. ~Meanwhile~ Emilee sees incense burning and black reclining chairs and a goliath walk out with tattoos all over his body. She takes a look at the list he shows her. She picks one and then takes a seat. He uses a numbing agent and he gets to work giving her a Dragonmark. Paulina walks in and sits down next to her and starts thumbing through a catalogue. She asks his name. Zeruun. He finishes hers and asks what she wanted. She tells him which one she wants, he charges her 5 platinum. Emilee gets the Dragonmark of Hospitality on her arm. Paulina gets the Dragonmark of Healing on her mid-back. She gives Emilee a ring. They then head back to the tavern to the others. ~Meanwhile~ Bonding time is going well for Pippy and Frankie. Sebastian has another drink and then goes up to keep an eye on Pippy and Frankie.

When Paulina and Emilee return they get back to the tavern its not as busy and the others are not in the tavern area but in the room. He explains he had to help Sebastian up the stairs but that it was the push of a button. (Drunk Guy goes weeeeee). He sends them upstairs. Paulina gives out the rest of the rings.

They talk about food and how their day went. They head out to get food.

We go to a rustic little place called, "The Greasy Pig" . They go inside and sit down. A halfling walks up to the table, explaining how it works. Sebastian eats some roast duck and vegetables, Paulina has chicky nuggies with mashed taters and katsup, and a dirty shirley. Pippy has a berry salad with nuts, Emilee orders a spaghetti and meatballs with a cream sauce and garlic bread and a small side salad.

Pippy accidently gets 3 Long Island Ices Teas ( Fucking hell Pippy) She is shitfaced and as she gets down, she falls and yeets the bread hitting a rather rude man who basically insults Pippy. Emilee don't like it but she lets it be. They go back to the tavern and then go back to their rooms. Paulina asks her sister for more money.

We wake up on Mournshade (Monday), 18th ofSolvire (June). Paulina is the first one up on her nightstand is a coin pouch. Inside is 2 Platinum. 15 Gold, 14 Silver, 1 Copper. Emilee and Sebastian wake up in their rooms, both are prepping for the day. There is now an automaton in Sebastian's room. There is a table with a crystal on it. Sebastian inspects the automaton. There is a new addition to Emilee's room. A photo of her, Percy, and Cassandra playing together. Sebastian's automaton has a slightly ajar door in its chest and it seems to be made of brass, titanium, copper alloy of some kind. He opens the panel, inside there is a small slot similar to a power core. It has a weird shape. He catches something out of the corner of his eye. The crystal, which seems to be shaped like an heart (like the emoji). He grabs it and puts it into the slot. A humming comes off of it as if it is producing its own energy. After backing up, the automaton's eyes turn on, bright red, then starts walking towards Sebastian stopping in front of him, his eyes turning blue before going into attention. The Robot introduces himself as his humble servant. (#jelousemileeinbound) He sends the automaton for some scones and tea. Turns out Sebastian has to finish the bonding process (i.e. give it a name and a little magic from Sebastian). He names him Aegis. He channels the energy into his chest. From the spot, his body begins to shimmer, his body changes Mystique style. He looks almost humanoid. He blinks at Sebastian. Turns out he gave him an artificial soul. (He made him a warforged -_- just say it.) The automaton then goes for Sebastian's breakfast. Emilee sees the automaton she goes to ask him about it.

Emilee gets jealous. Sebastian says she should try the paralyzing thing so Emilee sits in his lap. Sebastian is shirtless and Emilee is in her pajamas which consists of shorts. Pippy is hungover af. To the point of throwing up. Paulina sees her running and follows to the bathroom.

Paulina helps her get it out of her system. Pippy wants to NOT see what's going on in the room after getting permission to put her in a play. Emilee bounces off of his lap and sits on the bed. Sebastian teases Pippy as he laughs and puts on his shirt. Emilee embarrassed runs into her room and closes the door. Paulina tosses Pippy into the air repeatedly. Treating her like a child. Sebastian teases, that it looks like they are having a good time as leaving the room. Paulina is at Emilee's door and asks for entry, she enters to Emilee fully dressed and face-down in her pilows. "I have a gift" and tosses Pippy. "No its not me shirtless again" - Sebastian.

Paulina says she got rid of Pippy's hang over. Emilee is pissed a lil. Now it can't be quiet. Pippy runs off laughing. The automaton brings food for Sebastian, THEN JUST UP AND LEAVES. FUCKIING TEASE Pippy, Paulina, and Aegis chat. Sebastian rolls in. to the dining room. Emilee is taking care of things in her room. Emilee eats 30 minutes later.

Aegis locates possible locations for Nikroos. Emilee calls for Vedryis extremely frustrated. Her and Veydris go on a lore dump. The party leaves. Paulina plays a tune to cheer everyone up.
Emilee has been surveying the ground since before Paulina said something.

Emilee and Sebastian continue to comfort each other at the front of the church. While Pippy and Paulina search the grounds. They go back to get Emilee and Sebastian just as an Arakokra priest walks out.
The party stops a potentially racist (literally race not color of skin) father from killing someone because of a marriage he didn't agree with. Then the party found a trap door hidden into the bushes. They go inside and get locked in. 

Turns out, Paulina has Darkvision then casts a dim light on her dagger and offers to do do the same to the others. Emilee declines, Sebastian accepts, Pippy stays close to Paulina. Sebastian goes to defend her. Paulina apologizes to Emilee. Paulina and Emilee grieve over a dead firefly. Emilee takes the sheathed dagger. Paulina sees the darkness in the corner. Pippy has fire in her hand. Paulina casts stary wisp into the darkness and it bounces off into a lantern. (Pippy has Paulina cast it on her mace) Now the entire room is lit aside from the darkness. Paulina pokes the darkness and then mice run away from a cat to the left, then up towards the door.

Emilee follows then the stairs fade. Paulina calls into the darkness. We all notice something. The wall of darkness takes us all.
We see our worst fears.
Pippy - Being Alone
Emilee - Seeing Orthax make her kill [REDACTED]
Paulina - Watching her loved ones die because she left
Sebastian - Having not been able to get justice for the council. This is a lie that Emilee will ask about when the others aren't around.

In another room we can see with a door cracked open, is a Tiefling child crying on his bed.

After chatting and discovering it is Nikroos, a dark figure of almost entirely shadow. Emilee and Pippy follow Nicky into the closet.

Sebastian and Paulina are confronting the dark figure.

They slowly work through each of his memories - each getting worse as they go.

They work through them and then come out and then we are in a crypt, not the cellar. Turns out it was never a Cellar. We leave somehow avoiding the fight. We take Nikroos back to the tavern where Mintri is waiting.

A box appears for Rowan, Mintri is to curious to let sleeping dogs lie. Pippy is also too goddamn curious.

Emilee, Pippy and Mintri go poof

they come back but don't remember box

LORE DUMP for Rowan/Nikroos

Emotional Damage

Baby Terrasque is named Spyque (only changed spelling, still said like Spike) 

Things are bad in Paulina's hometown. Turns out they were scammed.

The party is introduced to Lillibet.

She gives something to Pippy and then leaves.

They look for a door to get Emilee to the house to rest.

We handle a biug problem 

We wake up on Glintmere (Friday), 22nd of Solvire (June). First up is Paulina who looks at her silver locket and smiles before attempting to open it Again. Attempting to it open with her teeth. It doesn't work so she tries to use her tounge to get under the edge and coax it open but that fails and she cuts her tounge. She then takes it out of her mouth and accidently electrocutes herself with the locket. Which is then yanked away by some invisible force. She demands it to open and it does. There is a holographic image of her sister there with the locket hovering where the heart would be. It becomes more caporial until it solidifies. Turns out its not her sister but she has her memories and knowledge and can interact with the world (showcased by the slapping of Paulina). The hologram is made of Hard Light. "Holobet" hugs Paulina and is back in the amulet and talking with her still. It was sent as a aid to prevent the sisters from being caught by him. Paulina goes to breakfast and "Holobet" goes dormant but they're the only four in the house? Pippy is next, she wakes says good morning to Frankie and Spyque then eats from her nut sack. She goes to the kitchen to see Paulina making breakfast. She makes feycakes and uses Pippy's nutsack, to make more and full the nut jar. ( I hate the amount of times I've had to type nutsack) She offers to make nut butter too ( send help i hate it). A crash from Pippy's room is heard by Pippy. She runs to check on her room. They knocked over the dresser in her room. She goes back to watch Paulina make feycakes. Pippy sets the table. Paulina makes more sexual inuendoes (insert side eye). Sebastian feels the sun hit him from the window. He shifts a little then sees Emilee's face just right there. Emi's arm is around him, he tries to move it but it fails and Emi just moves it around him more. She doesn't wake up until about half an hour later. Awkward smiles. She explains she had the nightmare from the void again then he also explains he had his. He explains his nightmare (the REAL nightmare where he lost Emi). Emi wipes away a tear. She then explains her nightmare where Orthax took over her and killed everyone including Baz. He lightly punches her arm and gets on to her for being reckless. They agree to be as careful or as reckless as they want, as long as it's together and they agree to seal the deal with a kiss. Aegis walks in then turns right the fuck around. Paulina picks up Pippy and starts to walk to Sebastian's room. She looked in and was like oop nevermind after seeing them kiss. Sebastian pulled away gently once Paulina and Pippy came in. Pippy bites Paulina after not putting her down. Pippy is like WHO THE FUCK IS HOLO? Holo shows herself to Pippy.

Emilee helps him get into his chair they go into taking their own showers and getting changed. Emi puts her hair back up.
They finally get to breakfast.

They all enjoy feycakes.

Veydris comes barging in.

He passes out, Emilee uses Presdigitation.

They are sent an invite to listen to a story about them by a ragtag group of jailbreakers.
They go out the front door. A horse and buggy can be seen coming up the road.
They go to the designated location, find crop summoning circle, fix it. GO FLOATTY. then their vision goes black, then they wake upp next to 4 people and a black dragon. 

We are being talked to by the Black Dragon named Kaltharion, the God, Wyrm of the Hollow Hoard. We are to listen to this crew of people's story. Kal shifts into a black dragonborn. Behind him is a cute little cottage. He outstretches his arms as if asking for a hug but instead he is casting a spell around all 8 of us. He warns us, "not to get lost in the story."
----
We are on the back of a black dragon. Who says all will be explained when we land. We are flying for what feels like hours and when we back over land, we go past a mountain range and he lands outside of a beautiful cottage. We get off of the dragon and he then looks at each of us and explains that their is a prophesy that 4 unlikely heroes shall save the realm from eternal darkness. It said that when we come together their will be a darkness that emerges then a darkness will come that we will overcome. The darkness has already emerged. The dragon introduces himself as Kaltherion, the GOD. Turns out this darkness is enough to scare gods. We go inside the house and find the dragonborn sitting at the table and we all sit with them. More or less the gods want us to act as their Proxies to handle this darkness before it gets worse. He grants us all titles. Rivvix, the Wise, Kit, the Brave, Vire, the Bold, and Diana, the Humble. He gives us 2 days to prepare in whatever ways nessisary. At the end of the 2 days, Kal waits for us at the table. He says he can't drop us off at the entrence but close enough. He gives us each a rock. Explains how to get to the cave. We ensure we have everything and we get to the cave. A man warns us not to go in but we still do. They pass by a dragon hanging from the ceiling. We walk to the ornate stone door and push it open. The man from before is there. He has his longsword shoved through his chest. He is the darkness. The room gets fucking huge (like 40 x 40 x 60). He floats.

Wings errupt from his back.

Ryland Stygian, a fallen luminara, also the darkness offers them the opprotunity to become one of his acolytes. Vire is conflicted and takes the deal then is turned to stone.

After 1 Round of Combat - Vire's petrification is broken but she now has purple eyes, her neck has purple glowing veins. She has intent to kill. 

Vire is defeated but her wounds are healed by Kal and she is given the truth. She is restored to her heath but Ryland casts command and demands Vire to grovel. DM Explains we are watching the memory though the eyes of them. They defeat the Mortal Form of Ryland and are circled back into the room with the round table, we have delayed them for 2 years.
----
Emilee confronts Vire and Diana. Paulina talks to Diana. Conversation He has reawakened and is in the Crystal Mother's Reach. They are going back to the house. It has been upgraded there is now a Arcanium, a Automaton Theatre, a workshop, and a church.

Paulina gets her gun from Emilee.

Turns out where they need to go is a cult driven land and Emi and Baz have a contact that can get them there. 

We wake the morning of Stonemarch (Saturday) 23rd of Solvire (June), and head out to Etheris where Emi and Baz's gem gnome friend is. Emi made some modifications to Sebastian's chair so that he can now walk, they turn into iron grieves and allow him all the senses of feeling. He can click his heels to float, three buttons on his buckle, green, purple, and blue. Each doing something different, the green making a pennant appear on his back, the blue strengthening his arcane focus, and the purple his legs get puffy and a slot opens on each hip, small machine guns emerge (like Robo-Cop). Pippy ran into Emilee's shop, still being ran by Valeria. Emi drags Paulina in to do her paperwork for her gun ownership. Valeria then takes Paulina to the back for a weapon fitting. THE GUN CHOOSES THE SHOOTER. The gun that chose her is the first one that Emi made after opening the shop. They leave after Sebastian shows off Emi's marvel. Sebastian and Emi lead the way to a shop that looks closed, they go inside. Emi calls for Corrina, a gem gnome. Emi is relatively blunt and says they need to go to the gem realm. Corrina leads their track.

-5 min break-

While on the track, we enter a forest and in a clearing is a creature that appears to be a black bear munching on something. So, its not a bear.... and 4 shadowy wolves join them along with a woman with a scythe. A Goliath killed one wolf, then rages then goes to take on another one before the bear meets him halfway. It manages to get the upper hand before tossing the goliath at Sebastian's feet. The wolves then sense Pippy's fear then start to charge at her. Emilee steps in front of her. Initiative is Rolled.

After the battle, introductions to Ulrik are had.
We head to the cavern in the mountain.

Sebastian stops Paulina from getting any closer to Emilee
Emilee explains she can't tell what's real and what isn't
Pippy tries to cast dispel magic and it didn't work
Paulina does it and it does
Turns out Emi had a 9th level dark magic spell (with a Nat 20) on her for longer than she's known the party
Emi feels a HUGE relief and weight lift off her shoulders.
Emi is alot more "free".
She thinks it was just grief that she'd never processed
Emi let's Ulrik help her up AND Paulina hug her.
Ulrik and Emi see, while walking, a small creature the others see the blue dragon
Emi grabs her rapier rather than her gun, she spins the cartridge not actively choosing something.
We attack.

We crack the heart crystal. They follow the shard. Those on the ground see ice turn into lava, even a volcano.
Emi and Baz, in the air, (mile high club joke here), and see passed the volcano and see a lump surrounded by coal.

Ulrik sees a lava pit with 3 goliath women - only Ulrik can see them. It's actually a fire genasi and 2 rocks. The Genasi just wants to get laid.

Ulrik fucks her for 3 hours. He made her unable to walk. Her name is Solari. Emi notices [REDACTED].
Emi pulls Ulrik aside to discuss. Turns out Solari is from Atheria.

We take on a Red Dragon. Emi somehow does 122 Damage in one turn. Emi and Pippy manage to take it down together. Solari reappears.
