Cadence and her familiar arrived on the agreed-upon Monday evening, the Fae known as James, had also arrived. They were warmly greeted by the Innekeeper, Gregor Cowin, who was the son of Jassi Cowin.
Captain Jassi Cowin, the courageous leader of the Crown Militia, arrived with three of his finest soldiers. However, they soon found themselves trapped outside, ensnared by the cursed nightmare that had plagued Cove on that fateful night. The ethereal fog descended upon them, shrouding the entire area in an otherworldly haze.
Deciding to leave the tavern behind, the group ventured into the thick fog, determined to make their way to Covetown. As they approached the gates, they were startled to find that the walls of Cove were made of bone, an eerie and unsettling sight. Their journey was further interrupted when they encountered Pocus, a mercenary mage from a group known as the Rovers.
The fog grew denser, and Jassi felt a sense of unease permeate his being. His heart pounded in his chest as he called out to his men, but his words were swallowed by the oppressive silence of the nightmare realm. To his dismay, he realized that he had been separated from his comrades. The familiar sights of Cove twisted and decayed before their eyes, as if a distorted version of reality had taken hold. Was it a dream, or something far more sinister? Each comrade found themselves alone, cut off from the others.
Undeterred, the group pushed forward through the gate, determined to enter Covetowne and unravel the mysteries behind the curse that plagued their town. Every step they took felt heavy, as if the nightmare realm itself resisted their progress. They could sense the presence of the fog, a malevolent force that sought to drain their life force without direct harm.
As they delved deeper into the nightmare, their minds played tricks on them. Whispers carried by the wind reached their ears, faint echoes of voices long lost to time. Visions flickered before their eyes, offering fleeting glimpses into the dark history that lay hidden beneath Cove's surface.
Finally, the group reached the docks, where they encountered a cloaked figure holding a lantern. In the presence of this enigmatic figure, they were able to see each other clearly and feel a sense of ease. The figure lowered his hood, revealing himself to be Palin, Jassi's half-brother. However, Palin appeared changed, with half of his face skeletal and bone-like. He explained that he was not actually Palin himself but a messenger, using Palin's body as a vessel to relay messages to his master. This master sought to manifest from the dream world into reality and was feeding on the life force consumed by the fog. The fog, it turned out, was not mere mist but a collection of visions, memories, and glimpses of both the past and a foreboding future if the nightmares continued to spread. The messenger revealed that the fog could be stopped, but it required enchanted light or the light of a Paladin. Palin had been chosen as a host because his light was the strongest.
As Palin's lantern extinguished, he departed, leaving the men to struggle their way back through the dense fog. Boarding a boat at the docks, Jassi took hold of the wheel and set sail for Crown Keep. After what seemed like an eternity, they spotted a faint glimmer of light in the distance. Hope surged within them as they recognized the silhouette of the Crown Keep Citadel rising above the fog, standing tall as a symbol of resistance against the encroaching darkness. As they approached the gates, the nightmare realm recoiled, seemingly repelled by the essence emanating from the Crown Keep.
Gasping for breath, the group found themselves back in the familiar realm of Cove, the nightmare dissipating into the night. They materialized before each other, their expressions a mix of relief and concern.
With a renewed determination burning in his eyes, Jassi Cowin, the valiant leader of the Crown Militia, prepared to confront the horrors that lay ahead. The battle against the curse was far from over, but he was resolute in his commitment to lead his troops into the heart of darkness and reclaim Cove from the clutches of the nightmare.
Later that evening, another group known as the Emerald Fist from Trinsic arrived in Cove to investigate the unfolding events. Palin engaged in a similar discussion with the more hostile members of the Emerald Fist, sharing his knowledge of the fog's nature and the danger it posed to all living beings. Despite their initial skepticism, the Emerald Fist recognized the urgency of the situation and agreed to join forces with Jassi and his companions to combat the spreading nightmares.
