"Lead the way then Sir Morbak!", Sritaro patching up anyone who needs it.
If Morbak's in front, I'll take the rear.
Zhiyo takes up a spot right behind Morbak, and examines the pedestal when Morbak does as well.
Time passes, and you all find yourself in Borentia, this time summoned specifically for some purpose yet unknown to you. It's been a year and a summer since that fateful lottery, and though things started out promising, you can't help but feel that at least some of the promise never came to be, even if you were able to make what most would consider a successful go at your respective paths.
After defeating the spider nest, you found inside the cave system a path into the Great Light, which turned out to be rather dull. Stairs, a barely functional freight elevator, a storage floor for the fuel, and a light that could be fixed if someone really wanted to take the time to do so. Still, they reported it and the spider eggs to their employers, who sent out a team to secure the peninsula and explore their options. After a couple of months of trying to investigate the origins of the spider nest, and finding nothing, not even a nibble, they finally settle into the business of starting the tavern/inn as a business retreat for ATA operatives and executives. Now, however, at least a few of you have been summoned to Borentia for a special assignment, which is a bit unusual because it's fall, and they are usually wrapping up projects at this time, not starting new ones.
