Akrah will take a trip to the Sanitarium for Tae.  She would try to find Barek's parents while there, and let them know.  Then off to find Breech's mom, we all know who the Dad is.  I know he doesn't care, so I don't bother.

Jesse, Still a little (a lot) shaken from all of the companion deaths, isn't quite ready to return home.  He offers to go on the search for Roland.

Terlus will be returning to Lynkeed and then the empire.

Vechi says, "Its been interesting, but I am going to return to me traveling route.  I was heading to the great forest when I detoured with all of you, so I will head that way.  Maybe I'll even catch up with those halfings and humans I was supposed to guide around."

The human Iottian was Captain Arnold Blockade of Watch.  He was accompanied by two wizards (human and elven), another human armored caster, and a half-elven ranger.

Pastor Oz is torn between staying with Akrah and travelling with Vechi back to the Great Forest, and ultimately back to Tafferville to see his congregation.

It is the 26th day of the 11th month of 817 when Horatio and Terlus arrive in Ermaneo.  Four months after you left Jaswap.

Cyrus buys a coffin for Iwakasi’s remains and pays for a Gentle Repose. He will sail to Kathow and then Ekarude.

Gareth is long overdue to return to Portet to report on his efforts to find Roland. He is clearly very demoralized.

Laz looks for someone to remove his curse. One way or another he warns the people he has worked for and Zalthor that Isaac has lost his mind and is now an agent of an evil power.

The consensus is that is is possible, and even not overly difficult for someone with your resources, but that one one in Ermaneo can do it.

Akrah and Oz, Osric and Taye (if he has a moment of sanity) all think that the Sanitarium would do it for free.

In that case, Laz packs up everything he owns (dozens of weapons, suits of armor and other gear), sells his home and heads out with the others. He’s been in Ermaneo long enough.

Wake goes on the boat ride to Ermaneo.  His ultimate goal is to try and research and find what is happening with the dream realm and stop Ralph and Retrick's  plan.  Taye actually wants to do that as well but can't quite make that decisions yet.

Figment will continue to follow his friends (akrah and Oz) around and if they split up then I will make that decision at that time.

Esra quietly suggests that we establish goals first before deciding on destinations.

This is what I’ve heard so far:

You recall from Breach’s boasting that he was such an impressive physical specimen that he was gifted to the visiting Haas by Harrl when Breach was a pup, and that he spent the majority of his life in Jaswap - first at the Temple of Tyrogatore (which struggled to contain his awesomeness), then later at the Temple of Dedestroyt where he found his true purpose.

Figment will go with Akrah and Oz as stated above unless they go to separate places then I will let you know.

I met to say wake goes with them on the boat ride to the sanitarium and also wants to investigate Ralph and Retrick with whoever is on board with that.

This is what I’ve heard so far:

  • Resurrect Barack and Iwakasi. We have adequate funds and just need a capable cleric.
  • Restore Taye’s sanity.
  • Remove Laz’s curse.
  • Inform the families of the deceased of the news. Only Breach and Rano assuming we can accomplish #1.
  • Investigate Re’Alph and Retrick.
  • Find Roland.
  • Figure out what to do with the giff and the sea elf. 

Cyrus says: I will get word to Rano’s family after I reach Ekarude. Iwakasi’s teachers have directed that I bring his remains home. I don’t know what their religion demands, but I will honor their wishes.

Orsic is going to return to Lynkeed to exchange with Burke.

Horatio seems intent on finding a way to bring Breech back despite everyone telling him its a fools errand.  Given the choices, he deicides to head to the Iron Tower, where they might have some ancient knowledge to help.

Terlus pays no mind to Esra, now that the mission is over his distain for Esra is evident.

Vechi says his mind is set on Great Forest.

Then Pastor Oz is going back to the Great Forest with Vechi. Twenty months is far too long to go without spreading the good word to my furry friends back home.

Any sort of outward display of contempt towards Esra is quietly logged and paid back later via social justice pickpocketing shorty before Terlus departs.

Maybe one of the clerics can speak with Iwakasi to clarify what he wants? Do his teachers know we have the resources to bring him back without trekking across Habololy?

Also, we could potentially contact Rano’s father using magic.

Cyrus is not opposed to either suggestion, though at some point a visit to Rano’s family will be necessary.

Figment:  "I want to go with all of my friends but Figment is sad because all his friends are going different directions.  (it looks like figment grows a a few heads and they all try to go in different directions towards a different friend.  Some of you wonder if he actually does split into multiples but when you look again he is just one Figment floating there)  I guess I will go with who needs helps the most.  Who needs Figment the most?"

OOC:  I mostly want to figure out what is going on with Re'Alph and Retrick.  I think we give the Sea Elf and a Giff all the options and let them pick which group to go with.  We can bring the bodies to the Clerics of Quan Yin to be resurrected.  I have no idea what to do about Laz's curse.

Additionally, the Celestial Bureaucracy and GoLK are still threats that need to be dealt with. So says Breach’s ghost.

Laz - Sanitarium
Taye - Sanitarium
Akrah - Sanitarium
Wake - Sanitarium
Gareth - Portet
Cyrus - Ekarude
Horatio - Ekarude
Terlus - Lynkeed
Osric - Lynkeed
Jessie - Lynkeed
Vechi - Great Forest
Oz - Great Forest

Figment - ?
Esra - ?

Just leaves Esra and then the debate over who wants Figment.  Likely that eliminates Portet, Lynkeed, and the Sanitarium (where you are confident those that run the place would not appreciate Figment's effect on mental health).

Cyrus’ destination is dependent on the possibilities raised by Esra.
Gareth would take the shortest route to Icefia, so if that means sailing to Cape Tolya or Camade that’s also fine.

There is nothing that is going to keep the entire group or event a majority together in the choices listed.  You may have to pick the thing that you want to accomplish most and go with the group that is mostly likely to accomplish that.

Horatio is heading to the Iron Tower because he thinks that is the best place for knowledge about how Breach can be brought back.

Orsic is going to get his rod back, more important than anything on the list.

Taye is going to the Sanitarium to heal.

Vechi to the forest to find his previous clients.

Terlus returning to the empire.

Oz returning to see his pastoral lands.

Gareth to Icefia.

So that's a lot of the people not doing anything on the list.

Esra isn’t particularly interested in any of those locations. He is most interested in investigating more about the Celestial Bureaucracy, seeing that as a large problem but a lot of opportunity for many small gains.

Pacyr is our best option for quick turnaround to revive Iwakasi and Barek. Probably weeks instead of months.

If no one else is interested in Pacyr then I will follow Akrah since she seems very competent, seeks out trouble (leading to profit), and is easy to hide behind.

Cyrus will go with Esra if that is what the masters of the Iron Tower wish.
