Back in Indra, Ron sent a message to Kalrithni after recovering his backup spellbook and memorizing sending: “I have urgent news, fund a safe place where you can rest and notify me.” Her response was, “With Volandra in a bar, waiting for word from Cassius. How's it going?” He followed up with “Kalrithni - Cassius is dead. Little hope of resurrection. Killed by Tiamatt cultists. Also there is a Kalrithni imposter, tell Volandra to be wary.” Her response to that was, “Who do we kill and where do we meet up?” Ron spent a total of 5 days in Indra, piecing his spellbook back together. He met with Sir Vatcher and the Indra government after 2 days to bring them up to speed. On the 5th day he sent a note to Urd saying “My organization is very concerned about the Tiamatt Cult. Help will be offered, unsure of what. I return shortly.” Urd responded “Great. We'll meet you at Draven's Port with more allies. Time to end Jamesyth.” The party at the front lines rested for the evening after their fight with the monks. The next day Brescka and Rayas (Ray-az) approached Urd, Ailekk, Arata, and Kira, with Rayas wanting to speak with Ailekk and Urd alone. Meanwhile, Kalrithni (Oron) asked to speak with Kira alone. Kalrithni gave her an offer to be her “first lieutenant”. In return for Kira’s loyalty, Kalrithni would give her access to additional resources like poisons, but also be able to give her information. In return, Kira would be magically bound to Kalrithni. Should Kalrithni decide to pick someone else in the future, the bond between them would be severed but Kalrithni would still finish out any promises or obligations made to Kira. Kira accepted and Kalrithni cast hold person on her. She then released her magic so Kira could see Oron before her. He then touched Kira with her finger, and Kira felt the world vanish into nothing but a seamless void. She then, eventually, felt a wriggling in her body, inside up into her brain where she could feel a mild headache come then go. She opened her eyes and Kalrithni was in front of her again, but she could now hear Oron’s voice in her thoughts. Meanwhile, Rayas told Urd and Ailekk her government were going to commit espionage forces to finding the cult of Tiamatt across Dravens, since it is near their borders and a potential threat. Meanwhile, since Feng and his progeny need to stay behind to defend Dravens, she was going to send Pixie who is actually an adult brass dragon. The party left with 6 martial artists, 36 Indrasian scouts, 12 Indrasian archers, 24 acolytes of Bahamut, 6 priests of Bahamut, and Catherine and her 4 Dwargons [we’ll say she traveled overland instead of underground through Dwarfsett]. On the road, Priest Saleh, an elven priest of Bahamut from Sehe, questioned their traveling with the Dwargons but Urd and Ailekk managed to convince him it was the necessary thing to do. He did ask them, “Would Cassius travel with such creatures?” They both admitted he wouldn’t. Around Halfsett they met up with the 50 aarakocra, who refused to be around such things (the undead bodies and souls of dwarves forever tormented entrapped in stone is very much an aarakocra’s worst nightmare). They told the party they’d meet them at Guilds Town. Next the party encountered the 12 knights and 24 soldiers of Shevorth. After trying to get out in front of the situation, the knights reluctantly agreed to travel with them. The party traveled to Draven’s Port and made Catherine and her Dwargons wait outside. Inside of the palace they met up with Arieth, Ma Thornberry, Ron, Pixie, and Gravycakes. The party reunited with Ron. Gravycakes announced they had Dravens’ Port guards, orc warriors, Eurik tribesmen, and two dozen dragonborn and kobolds from Kytt who had come to help as well. Kira tried to get Gravycakes to pay her extra for setting her up, Gravycakes refused although she did give her money from coming back with the group safely. The party visited Swell’s Casino and Caberet, with Urd receiving his bracers of defense and the other party members ordering some magical items from him.
