Major Plot Points

  • Steve McSword collects the various party members for what he's pitched as an easy, introductory sample collection mission in Crannathragh's East Sector
  • The party all meet Meriwether and Ducky, who are doing paper work, get a map of the Shard, and are gearing up to leave
  • Guinevere mentions Bravo Team hasn't reported back using their Sending Stone or their Sending scroll
  • She commandeers the party for a search and rescue mission, hoping they'll find survivors but saying it's important to collect any research materials they find if no one is left alive
  • Guinevere, Soairse, Steve, and the party go to the last known location in the South Sector, a dangerous portion of Crannathragh
  • Beatrix stumbles into a group of Dagger Blooms, a plant with razor sharp leaves and flowers that occasionally grow into humanoid-adjacent creatures, and the party make short work of them. Samples are collected of the Dagger Blooms
  • The party moves forward to find a large flower surrounded by violet berries and a sweet smelling pollen that draws Beatrix and Slate closer
  • Soairse knocks the two party members out of the way before this plant can eat them, though Beatrix later gets swallowed and has to cut her way out
  • Beatrix names this plant the Ophiorchid and samples are collected of it after it is decapitated during Beatrix's escape
  • Several samples of the nearby sweet smelling violet-colored berries, that Baila names Baila Berries, are also collected
  • The party follow a trail, working together to find clues, and locates the mangled corpse of Khiv. The group bury her as well while Baila collects her shield to send back to her family
  • They then find Corryn's left arm, and Ulfrik's left half from the shoulder to the hip, burying them too and collecting evidence of what happened
  • A growl and shouting calls their attention, and they follow the sound to find a T-Rex has cornered Micah, Arana, and Imrish in a tree's roots
  • The party fights the T-Rex, taking it down handily, rescuing the remaining Voyagers, and bringing them back to the outpost to recover from their injuries
