Through storms of violence, glorious victories and agonies of the heart, does the first act of the tale spin to its conclusion. Battered but triumphant, the heroes lick their wounds, share truths unearthed, and look to the future... where, sure as the sun rises, more strife awaits them.
But, for now, the curtain falls, and they are given a moment of respite. Before leaving the blood-soaked and boiling desert, for a land as cold as the hearts of those who dwell there...
ACT I: BLOODY PRINCE... COMPLETE!
EVENT LOGS!
RESULTS:
REWARDS:
Everyone who participated in any event gets a Minor Milestone! Even if you already had one. As long as they're both spent before your next Event, either mine or anyone else's.
- Leanne, Lan, Vael'a and Akiko get a /Large Sack of Gil/ in the post, for having taken part in finding Fafaraju Gegeraju's final fate. It is one invoke for Resources, an Aspect which vanishes at the end of the scene in which its last free invoke it used.
- Leanne additionally gains one invoke of /The Master's Considerations/ for being the one to bring the news, and for actually completing the quest she set out on. This may be used for rolls such as Contacts in which having Master Gegeruju put in a good word would be handy.
- As mentioned in the event, Zanzan, Arblis, Nihka and Kiht got the /Blessing of the Whiteseer/, one invoke, for showing benevolent intentions, and talking down one of the fanatical Bloody Prints sept huntresses, nonviolently. This may be used for interacting with her, and...????
- Virara, Renaea, Aigiarn and R'shesha got, after the fact, /A Reputation for Badassery/ with one invoke for fighting a trio of huntresses without overwhelming numbers or mage artillery support, and taking them prisoner (after beating a couple of them to an inch of their lives). This is useful for interacting with Grand Company folks, especially the Flames and any PCs affiliated with them.
- Nheu'a, Deidre, Kuina and Zaphir also got /A Reputation for Badassery/, as above, with two invokes, for defeating a ridiculous boss encounter. Yes, even Kuina; someone had to suck up the alpha-strike.
NEW ACTIONS:
Prior to beginning the next Act, all players will be allowed TWO roll-based actions, to prepare or for story purposes. Here I will archive those actions everyone has decided to take. Please use the usual degree of IC/OOC logic in determining whether you could actually be aware of others' actions. In case of doubt, default to no (or ask them/me). At players' options, bonuses/invokes gained by their actions can be made available to others, as normal.
Feel free to get in touch with me either by PM, Skype, in-game (mail or otherwise), or on this thread, if you want to take actions!

ACT I: BLOODY PRINCE... COMPLETE!
EVENT LOGS!
RESULTS:
- The ultimate fate of Master Gegeruju's cousin, Fafaraju Gegeraju, was discovered: death, at the hands of the Falling Stars tribals.
- The wyrmtear was found, in X'zarann Silverfall Nunh's possession. Overall, the quest cost U'jakata his hand, and Garri, the Echo-bearer, was taken captive by the Nunh.
- The murderer of two wood wailers and one (drug) peddler has not been conclusively revealed, but may now easily be suspected to have been a Falling Stars tribal.
- The outpost of the Falling Stars, the new Bloody Prints Sept, has been defeated, demolished and disbanded.
- Of 20 warriors known to have inhabited the Sept, 11 were slain, 8 taken prisoner by the Immortal Flames (now being transfered to Halatali), and one was made into a clip-tail by her own people.
- 40 clip-tails, the apparent slave caste of the Falling Stars, were recovered and are currently being kept under observation in an expanding Camp Nowhere.
- The darkness that had settled on Rock Falls as a result of the massacre there had coalesced into a Voidsent calling herself Starlight; she was routed by Adventurers, and departed, ostensibly for the lands of the Falling Stars...
- A mighty lieutenant of the Nunh's, X'zam Tia, was defeated, falling to the depths of the earth after the finishing blow. He's surely dead, right..?
- One adventurer was seduced by the Nunh's powerful charisma, and handed herself over to him...
