A blazing trail into the desert, now spattered with bloody prints. In action and intent, the story moves toward its first climax, as heroes and villains (and many in-between) meet in a clash upon the sands, far from the eyes of the world.
The expedition stands ready, or as ready as it shall be. Who will stand with it? Who will follow the trail of their own personal stake to the conclusion? And what new trails wait to spring from there..?
ACT I: BLOODY PRINCE
SCENE III: Rock Falls, Everybody...
a) Sudden Assault! The Battle of Camp Nowhere! (Sunday, May 22, 2016, 5 pm CST)
[Mass combat, possible boss fight]
Forewarned by Hydaelyn's grace, the defenders of Camp Nowhere stand ready to do battle with savage warriors of a hostile Lynx tribe offshoot: the Bloody Prints of the Falling Stars. How will discipline and courage stand up to the murderous arts of a tribe of born killers..?
"They're coming!" "We know, lass, you-" "No, I mean NOW!"
"...TO ARMS MEN!! LET'S GIVE THESE SAND-LICKING PUSSIES WHAT FOR!!"

b) The Murderous Ones (Thursday, May 26th, 2016, 8 pm CST)
[Social, possible combat]
Be it pushing ahead alone, or supported by the survivors of the battle, determined Adventurers push on through the last leg of the journey, into the conquered territory of the Bloody Prints, to their sept itself; a onetime outpost and would-be seaport named Rock Falls. Now they must contend with those who remained behind - those unable or unworthy to fight - either in making peace, or wiping them off the edge of the continent...
"'Too young to fight' carries a different definition, for the Falling Stars.. it's quite simply literal. Though, too, the crippled and broken, and the clipped-tails, essentially slaves among their own people..."

c) The Final Resting Place of Mister Gegeraju (Saturday, May 28th, 2016, 8 pm CST)
[Combat, void things]
The backing behind this whole expedition having come in large part from gillionaire eccentric Master Gegereju, he remains extremely interested in the fate of his cousin, Fafaraju Gagaraju. He demands proof of his demise, if such exists. In the center of the ruined outpost of Gagaraju's creation, Rock Falls, lies a no-man's land from which radiates a tangible unease. The bones of the slain lie exposed, and there, in the middle, upon a spar of broken rock, dangles a fine-looking hat, which was last seen upon the owner of this place...
"Isn't this exactly what you signed up for? Now get in there and try not to catch anything. Like possession."

d) BONUS! A Golden Lodestone (Sunday, May 29, 2016, 8pm CST
[Boss battle, I Hope You Like Pain, Consequences Mitigated]
Foiling evil is well and good, as is finding solace for a well-paying sponsor, but some of those out here are upon another mission. The wyrmtear, that deadly relic lost over a year ago, has left a subtle trail. Now it is time to pick it up once more... in Rock Falls, where everybody died. Or almost.
"Yes, yes, just let me check-" "SPARKLE, NO!" "MY HAND!!" "Follow that drake!!"
