Need help with remembering stuff from previous arc.

[Deraj]

A project I let fall by the wayside, but am attempting to pick up again, is to document to some extent some of the stuff that we've done. One of those things is what I am dubbing the "No Reflection Home" arc, that starts with our dealings with Hal the Healer, and ends with the undead invasion at the outpost. I've compiled a list of events that make up this arc, but I don't recall what happened with each event (some of them don't have descriptions in their forum posts). Can anyone help me with remembering what all happened? And, if you have any information about stuff that happened between events, unscheduled interactions, please add.

I'll continue digging through my stuff to fill in the blanks, but any help is appreciated.

Stygian dragon fight?

Please Kill Me 5/27/15
The rangers come across Hal in the ruined city of Montor. He claims that the Hollowing spell has been cast on him, and that he was gradually becoming Semidar. He begs the rangers to kill him on the spot as he was unable to perform the action himself due to Semidar's growing influence. The rangers decide to bring place him in jail until they can find a way to cure him, and in the hopes that the masked woman might come for him and thus reveal herself.

The Prison Blues 6/27/15
Hal claims that the hollowing spell has failed, and requests his freedom. The rangers are divided on what to do.

Training Hunt + Pre-Show 6/29/15
A normal training hunt, but before the rangers leave, Governor Greywulfe comes to the outpost and requests the release of Hal. The rangers continue to be divided.

Ruh Roh 6/30/15
Governor Greywulfe returns to the outpost expecing Hal to be released. The rangers, while somewhat divided on what to do, eventually decide to release Hal under Corinna's command. As Hal is about to enter a moongate for Skara Brae, however, Tserim Arryth kills him and runs off as the Governor's guard attacks him. Greywulfe declares Tserim to be wanted for murder and puts out a warrant for his arrest.

The Search 7/8/15
The rangers search for Tserim. They find him by himself at a quiet graveyard in Spiritwood and bring him back to the outpost. At the outpost the discussions turn heated until Corinna determines that Tserim will remain at the northern outpost.

A Very Special... 8/19/15
Arroway sends an undead invasion to the outpost, which is thwarted by the rangers. Revenant Corinna appears at the end and the rangers are forced to kill her. Later, Mitre leads several rangers to the graveyard where Tserim had been found after fleeing, and find Arroway's necromancer there, who they kill.

Also if any of the descriptions I do have right now are inaccurate, let me know.

[Judas D'arc]

Here's the best of my recollections, in blue. Clearly we need to start posting at least short summaries following the big events ...

A Healer's Call 12/1/14

For a second time, Hal asks the Rangers of Spiritwood to help clear the road between Skara Brae and Yew of raiders (the first one, which was a very similar event that introduced Hal, was several months earlier in the spring of 2014). The Rangers once again went to the Brigand Fort and captured/killed a bunch of raiders.)

Ranger Double Feature 1/7/15
Raider gets interrogated.

The Raider's name was Rok. He provided information that the raiders were being hired to keep people away from Sanctuary.

I think RP-wise, he was eventually transferred to the Yew prison.

Sanctuary 1/15/15

Based on Rok's information, the Rangers went to Sanctuary and met Fulcher the outcast elf that did not speak elvenish. In return for killing Chiikkaha the Toothed, a boss mage ratman, is hidden in the caves Moug-Guur, and Szavetra, he told the Rangers about how a group of five mercenaries had been studying elven magicks for a time (to perfect the Hollowing), before taking their leave. I think this is where the Hollowing was first mentioned by Fulcher, who mistook it for "the Halloween" or "Hallowing."

Bloody Blades 3/26/15

I believe this is when Hal returned after meeting Buck the Trader at the Twin Oaks Tavern in Ilshenar. He sent the Rangers there, and Buck told them about the Bloody Blades meeting with a masked woman and eventually heading to the Rock Dungeon in Ilshenar, where they were trying to uncover old magicks to help perfect the Hollowing. The Rangers killed all of the Bloody Blades except for one member who wasn't present, and the masked woman who employed them.

There was also a clue left behind that Oona found and shared with Hal later: "Elf magick helpful. Not so gypsy. Maybe Ter Mur holds more promise,"

This sounds right. Following the clue from Oona, Hal went to Ter Mur and searched around until he learned (with some help from Semidar's voice inside his head) that the masked woman and the Bloody Blade went to the Abyss to learn more Ter Mur magicks to help with the Hollowing. The Rangers pursued, killed the Dragon, and found the body of the final Bloody Blade. [/font]

And Now... 8/6/15

I can't line up the specific events with the investigation, but I know that Tobias assigned each of the Rangers to investigate a clue related to the Outpost explosion:

playersofroles.proboards.com/thread/991/current-ranger-assignments-july-2015

By the time the documents Corinna had requested were ready, Morrow and Alathea weren't around to pursue it, and it ended up being left open to everyone. Mylar and Eldaern really took the lead on it, and wrote their pretty details report, which I think might help put some events into perspective.

From what I recall, they spoke with Buck the Trader for a second time, and he shared some information about Arlin Kensdrick, Arroway, and a Winterfellian he had dealings with. The Winterfellian was the lich-ish Gabriel Drachen, who helped them to find Colin Stark, a prince of Winterfell, who was in Khaldun in the Lost Lands Felucca. Colin was able to give some background on the Stower family and their actions in Winterfell, and I think he might've confirmed that Alionna Arroway wasn't Iliana's sister, but her daughter. Unfortunately, he still never found out about his nephew Kelfer. Finally, Tobias finally relented and admitted Judas was one of the names he had removed from the books, and I believe Mylar, Katalin, and Piper spoke with Judas. He talked about Arroway's kidnapping many years ago and reiterated that she was active in Britain.

Based on the above, a group of rangers went to search for Arroway in Britain Trammel. Nightshade encountered Mitre, who told her to search Britain Felucca instead. The Rangers and Piper went there, met Arroway and some of her cousins, and were attacked. Before leaving, Arroway told them of her plans to hollow them, how she had tried with Corinna but she hadn't survived. One of the cousins was left behind and tried to have his way with Mylar until Triple G came to the rescue.

A Very Special... 8/19/15
Arroway sends an undead invasion to the outpost, which is thwarted by the rangers. Revenant Corinna appears at the end and the rangers are forced to kill her. Later, Mitre leads several rangers to the graveyard where Tserim had been found after fleeing, and find Arroway's necromancer there, who they kill.[/quote]

Since it wasn't that long ago, I also have a pretty clear recollection of how Arroway was found ... Mylar followed up on Arroway's kidnapping years ago with Judas, who directed her to Rachel Gunn at Kent's Last Pint in Felucca Yew. Some of the rangers met with her, and she refused to comment on Arroway's kidnapping, but did reveal she knew where Arroway was and asked them to return. When they did return, one of Rachel's men offered them two jobs, the Skull of Venom (to make a powerful poison) or the automo-cock. Unfortunately the Rangers chose the Skull of Venom. In return, Rachel's hireling revealed that Arroway was hiding in Deceit in a hidden portal/pocket area that was tied to Neira, so they had to destroy her in order to get access to Arroway. Which they did.

Was the Bloody Blades meeting at the Twin Oaks? Or how was Buck exposed to this?

[Judas D'arc]

The Bloody Blades and the masked woman happened to be meeting at the Twin Oaks Tavern, and Buck was there hanging out and overheard their conversation.
