Last we left off, the Tempests had delved deep into the ground beneath the Kudong Harbor in Takatari in search of lost locals who had been consumed by a massive sink hole. One of these missing locals is Haru, the older brother of Tamami, a young elven girl they befriended. Through completely submerged tunnels, winding pathways, and large insectoid creatures that lurk in the dark, the Tempests searched for more survivors but have found only death so far. The party got a little turned around trying to navigate the twisting tunnels and ended up where they began. Kasumi started leaving marks to keep them from doubling back on themselves again and soon, they discovered a pathway laid with cobble stones.. Something clearly made by intelligent hands... After coming across what appeared to be a mushroom farm, the party decided to take a short rest to recoup and treat their wounds. Lakin took the opportunity to explore a bit further and came across an outpost of some kind.. The faintest flickering light can be seen on the other side of the small tower.

Picking up where we left off last time, the Tempests were helping to cure a rampant sickness that had befallen upon a coastal town along the Kudong Harbor in Takatari. Upon arriving, they encountered a small elven child named Tamami who bore a striking resemblance to Moriko. Tamami's parents were bedridden with the plague sweeping the area and not in proper states of mind to answer the probing questions from the Tempests. Tamami's older brother Haru had gone out to fish and not returned. Fearing the worst, Moriko consulted her ancestral deity Aerin who warned of an approaching disaster. A massive sinkhole opened up below a neighboring village, swallowing multiple homes, ships, and several hapless residents. Diving down, the Tempests rescued as many as they were able, though many were still missing. Assuming the worst for Haru, the Tempests returned to the sink hole to go as far in as they could in search of the missing elf and found themselves navigating an expansive system of tunnels carved into the rock. Using Pez's superb ranger senses, he guided them to the sound of flowing water and came across a pair of corpses next to an underground stream. The corpse warned of beasts in the dark that had attacked them. Zaan immediately cast light on a rock and chucked it into the water, inevitably triggering a short skirmish with some insectoid creatures that lurked in the dark waterway.

Last we left off, the Tempests were nearing the end of their quest to deliver healing moss to a blighted town along the coast of Kudong Harbor in Takatari. Along the way they picked up a new ally, Lakin, who had promised to aid in their journey if they would return the favor in the near future. As they help distribute the healing brew made from the Yutsushige moss, they encountered a family of elves with a child that bore a striking resemblance to one of their own, the orphaned Moriko. With many questions being asked, and receiving only partial answers from the sick and somewhat delirious father of the household, the Tempests busied themselves with distributing the cure to the rest of the village. The son of the Ito's, Haru, had supposedly gone out to fish earlier that morning and as dusk settled in, he had not yet returned. Tamami, the young daughter, said that this was not terribly unusual, as her brother sometimes took a rest out on the water and would drift to nearby towns along the currents. Moriko however was a bit ill at ease and made the tough choice to meditate towards her ancestral deity, Aerin. The elven god spoke clearly to Moriko and warned of impending danger, though remained somewhat cryptic as to who or why. Fearing the worst, Moriko convinced the others with minimal effort to help her try and find Haru, the only one currently unaccounted for. The tempests then broke the cardinal rule and split the party, eventually leaving Kasumi alone to have a lovely cup of tea with Tamami, while the rest of the Tempests battled fires and dove headlong into a gaping sink hole that had swallowed part of the neighboring coastline to rescue survivors.

Last time of the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had successfully retrieved some moss that supposedly had incredible restorative and healing properties from the Yutsushige Forest after proving their worth to a trio of treants. Their next step was to bring the moss to a village along the coast of Kudong Harbor where an entire stretch was plagued by a savage illness. When they found their way to the Calm Water Piers, Lakin confronted a small child that had been shadowing them through some side alley ways. A young elven girl by the name of Ito Tamami. Somehow the large Orc Warlock convinced the girl that he was no threat and offered to guide her home. Lakin sent up a signal in the form of a magic icicle and shortly after, Moriko arrived to help in what she thought was a fight, only to find Lakin with a child... in a dark alleyway.. Nothing suspicious here. Tamami was sent on her way with Lakin and Moriko returning to the cart, though unknowingly without Fluff, Moriko's companion MothKat. - With the help of Kasumi, Moriko found Fluff sleeping in the home of the elven girl, unharmed and perfectly content. Yoinking Fluff back to her side, they returned to the wagon and the next morning sought out the local Temple to Shenshe were the priestess began working with the moss to create a cure. Returning to Tamami's home, the Tempests offered her parents the first batch of the cure that would hopefully aid in their recovery and perhaps cleanse the whole village.

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests ventured deep into Yutsushige forest in search of a cure-all moss that supposedly grew on the roots of a "Weeping Sequoia". Along the way, the party discovered that they were going in circles despite Moriko's ability to know which way wasn't North and decided to take a rest before trying again. Some time during the last watch, the group was separated by a trio of Treants who wished to test them and see if they were worthy of being allowed so deep within their territory. Passing with flying colors, the Tempests were permitted entry into the Treant's Grove, their most sacred area. Lakin took charge and waded across the small lake to retrieve the moss they had come for while the others spoke with Ironroot, the leader of the Treants, to see what they were doing about the blight ravaging the country. Ironroot revealed that the blight had not yet encroached very far into their territory and was therefore, none of their concern. - Once the moss was collected, the Tempests were escorted from the forest with a few gifts given to them by the Treants and were given permission to visit whenever they pleased. Once again, the Tempests hit the road and then realized that they had no idea WHERE or WHO they needed to deliver the moss to (and Tanaka was of no help either). Choosing to head towards the far Western part of the Kudong Harbor, Dragon's Shore, they worked their way East until they found where they needed to be: Calm Water Piers. Reaching the border between the two regions, they encountered a "dead zone" where the Redguard had evacuated a wide stretch of the village to keep the disease from spreading.

Picking up where we last left off, the Tempests ventured deep into Yutsushige forest in search of a cure-all moss that supposedly grew on the roots of a "Weeping Sequoia". After a short skirmish with a group of Trolls, the party proceeded with a little more caution. Soon, the light in the forest dimmed, the canopy blocking the sunlight until it was almost complete darkness between the trunks of the trees. Thankfully, Moriko has a firm grasp on directions and kept them on track. Or so they thought. Passing by a series of carvings in the trunks of the Sequoias, they passed by similar reliefs, leading them to believe they were going in circles despite Moriko's supreme sense of direction. Beginning to hear and see things deep in the forest, the Tempests decided to rest for the evening and start strong the next dawn. At the end of the final watch, Lakin and Pez realized the Kasumi and Moriko were nowhere to be seen. When trying to locate Zaan, they saw him being carried away by a large hand. Before the two could do anything, they were surrounded by a thick wall of thorns.

Previously on the Tales of Archeron, a new addition was added to the Tempests' roster: the Orc Warlock, Lakin. They encountered the Orc along the Western road leading away from Chunsu to the far off mountains that divides the continent in two. Lakin pledged his skills to their cause for as long as it took if they would promise to assist the Orc in his own daunting task: the destruction of a few orc clans. Luckily for Lakin, the Tempests had their own reasons for visiting the Orc Tribes in the near future. But for now, their goal lay deep within the Sequoia forest in the Yutsushige region. A special moss supposedly grows there beneath a Weeping Sequoia that has medicinal properties.

Last time on the Tales of Archeron, the Tempests had gotten into a bit of trouble in the capital city of Chunsu, deep in the heart of Takatari. To pay for their crimes, they were placed under Country arrest and sentenced to community service. But they weren't tasked with cleaning up streets or helping the local orphanage.. They were given a supposedly very dangerous task that the Shogun had been loathe to risk his own manpower for. The Tempests were sent off to the mountains far to the west of Chunsu into the sequoia forests of the Yutsushige lumberyard. Their goal was to find a special moss that grew on the roots of the Weeping Sequoia. This moss was renowned for its medicinal properties, and was sorely needed to help cure a plague that was currently being contained in a harbor town to the North. Along the way, their babysitter, Tanaka, was nearly killed by a malevolent spirit, but with the help of a new orcish ally known as Lakin, Tanaka was rescued and the Tempests continued along their journey. Lakin's help was not to be completely free however. In return for helping them on their journey, Lakin also had a task that he needed help doing in an area where a feathery friend was supposedly waiting for the Tempests to rescue.
