(A quick note here, I've added these synopsis for people to go back and remind themselves about what happened or if people come in later and don't want to start at the beginning, they can read these really fast, but they are not a replacement for watching our videos as they are not full descriptions. If you don't want to video, you will miss most of the comedy and all of the fighting as I am not going to do a play by play of each attack. So, please check out our videos)
Day 22 2/22/2023
Episode 34
The Village on the Island
Gwyn asks Raya if she still has the contract that they originally signed. All but Felix wait outside. It takes about ten minutes, and eleven beings walk up, some elves, a drow, a couple dwarves, a human, a lirasa, a valkyrie, a worgen, and a fire primal (5 males, 6 females). The one up front, a male elf, looks at Raya, and acknowledges her. He says we can go upstairs, and we do. They each stand behind a seat. There are 12 seats, with one empty. He tells Raya to take the last chair, as the representative of The Raya, taking her first mates’ place. Felix did get up. They all sit.
He addresses us. They are aware that the tents are ours and that we were here first, but say the island is not ours. They aren’t planning to kick us out. We try to explain why we deserve to have some say in the matters of the island, including the mortar and the shadow beings that they don’t know about. Gwyn tries to mention that you put magic in the mortar, and Az stops her. Az says that it’s a building material that we have agreed to the export of with the Raya, but as he is from Delet he asks for the right to speak with them. Felix walks to the door, locks it, and leans up against it. They say that he may speak and he walks to the table. Azazel speaks about their lands and how they were destroyed by the red smoke. He knows where it came from and that he wishes to tell them about it. Az holds out a hand toward Idham, and Idham gives him a vial of the antidote. Az takes it and sets it on the table. He tells them that they were at the behest and within the borders of Sypet. It was created by rebel factions that have taken control of the capital in the absence of the queen. The council are all just staring at him raptly, and when he talks about the queen, they all bow their heads. He says that he was in the capital looking for peaceful solutions, and was there when the goddess was slain (the queen). It has been shown over the last months that those currently in charge of Sypet are willing to do anything. He says he’s the one with the antidote and with open arms, and Sypet has done nothing for them over the last six months.
The table starts murmuring that Sypet hasn’t done anything. Idham mentions the storm and the coincidence that it was there at that moment. They are all just hanging off of our words. Az requests that they must let themselves be aided by someone who can and will help, and gives them a vial of the antidote so that they can mass produce it and heal the land. Idham also gives them a vial. He tells them as Raya is part of the council now, that they could confer with her on our validity. He says we will cleanse their land so that they can live where they please again, whether they choose to stay here or move back to the mainland. He asks them to vote and speak amongst themselves and decide that Sypet doesn’t care for them and allow Delet to help them. He conjures up an aura of evil, but no one notices. He intimidates us to stay quiet. Felix is not intimidated though, nor is Raya. He begs for a simple vote. The main elf says yes, and that they will vote. He says the argument was persuasive for them to be a part of Delet.
As they vote, Az starts walking around the table and Idham does too. Those in favor of forsaking Sypetia and being a part of Delet, 3 are against and nine vote yes. The tiefling, the valkyrie, and Raya. Some hands start faltering as they see Raya vote no, so Gwyneira distracts with seduction, and focus shifts to us. Idham talks to Az, asking about our cut going to Delet. Xander talks to Raya, saying it falter’s the previous agreement, and the cuts would, but divided wrongly. She says inviting a sovereign nation changes it. Az stands behind the tiefling. Felix goes outside to the roof. Idham stops opposite of Az on the other side of the table. Az tells Idham that the deal won’t be altered, and Idham relays that to Raya. Azazel extends his retractable blade through the back of the tiefling’s skull. Raya was going to reply to Idham, but notices Az skewer the tiefling. Idham shifts slightly, and puts a hand on the shoulder of the valkyrie. Xander yells at Az. Felix hears Xander scream. Az starts talking again and gains their attention again. Raya asks if they want to give up their autonomy to a nation that they had been at war with. Xander speaks up as Raya speaks, he says that Az killed their goddess. Felix is climbing up the side of the building. Gwyn leaves the room and Idham waits. They currently believe Xander more as Az tries to get their side back. Idham speaks to Raya, and she sends back to him if he has a desire. Raya attacks the middle of the table with winter’s grasp. The council all turn to ice and shatter.
Raya says that there is now no reason for anything other than us becoming the council. On the roof, Felix thunder strikes on the roof. He blows off some of the roof shingles, but not through the roof. As Raya calls for a vote, the thunder cracks right above their heads. Everyone in the room is deafened for five seconds. Felix attacks again. There’s another crack and two seconds of deafness. Raya asks them to raise their hands. Az raises his hand as does Idham. Xander walks out of the room. Felix hits again with a meteor this time, and there is some notable cracking and splintering. Xander bursts out in front of Gwyn, and she asks him what happens. He says that they murdered 11 people, and storms down the stairs. Felix blasts a hole through the roof with the meteor. Felix sticks his head in and sees a bunch of water and all but Xander, with Gwyn looking through the door. Idham tells Felix to come down and he jumps down, superhero posing right in the middle of the table. Gwyn heads into the room as well. Az is cleaning his blade. Felix gets off the table on the same side as Idham. Az retracts his blade. Felix and Gwyn ask what happened, Az says he killed a traitor and is mad at Xander for what he said. Gwyn asks why Raya killed them, and her response is that a birdy said it may be the best option, in regards to saving Xander’s life. Az agrees.
Xander storms through the forest to get to the dais, which will take hours. Felix asks if it was Xander who almost got himself killed or someone else, and after Idham says that Xander reacted badly to what Az did, Felix says he’ll go speak with his brother. Az says he won’t harm Xander right now as it won’t help Delet. Felix leaves to go look for Xander. Felix tries to use the Staff of Fangar to find Xander, and he is able to do so. He can also tell where we are and how healthy we are and our moves. Felix goes after his brother. The rest of us talk. We head out as the town people gather, and Az weaves the story about how the council was also corrupt and was preparing to allow those that had killed the Sypet queen goddess to take control of the island, they were struck down by a freak of weather which was controlled by Sypet the goddess, and have left us in charge. The people are happy to believe him and head to their homes for the night.
Xander figures he’s a third of the way there, when he hears a sound behind him. He turns and looks behind him, seeing his brother. They talk and Felix convinces him to at least come back and be on the council, saying that if Xander doesn’t feel comfortable with Az, Felix and Xander will leave, and telling Xander that he will have a voice on the council. Xander says that he was heading to the dais as there are symbols to Vulkus and he hopes that he will have a better connection to her there. Felix says he will go with. They decide to head back and sleep for the night. Raya returns to The Raya. Gwyneira puts her tent back up and heads to sleep. Idham goes to the man of war to sleep. As he gets close, he notices that it has been quite changed from when he last saw it and the outside is covered in glinting black and blue dragon scales. It rides high in the water but isn’t out of it like The Raya. Idham and Raya talk, and he heads the rest of the way to the man of war. She returns to The Raya. We fall asleep, into a night filled with dreams.
