ALEM

---

Sound the drums, head on to war — seized citadel Alem has already been there for the lion's share of a year.

Under the Scavengers' guidance, the four sand worms the party captured gently graze underground corridors allowing the group to reach halfway up Mount Attevar. From there, they quickly infiltrate Alem through a bustling trade route.

Young King Deimar strikes a simple bargain: serve Alem in its bitter last days until inevitable downfall, and the citadel will grant access to its Beacon before the final evacuation is completed.

Sounds simple enough. Now, survive it.

THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE

you've cracked the code, this is perfect

healing + Reaper investigation + melodrama talks, how can it go wrong?

[weifinder]

SOUNDS GRAND do we have any question related to the reapers we want to ask, or do we just want to write them out Investigating talking to people and getting that general sense of things?

anyway it will go exactly as wrong as usual, which is delightful

[valeas]

I'D LIKE to bring something good to the table as opposed to just more guesswork re: questions

I'm currently having some NPC-related threads that I'll try nudging in the right direction. Once I have more to go on I'll hit him up and then ... yes, it will probably go wrong laskja

in the meantime we can let Licyn be Licyn lmaooo

[weifinder]

yeah we can hold off starting things for them until you feel more traction for that, sounds good to me!

and yes in the meantime. gossip with licyn, that's

never going to go wrong, the worst that'll happen is he says he'd sleep with her and wrath together as a treat, mostly for himself, but also them /solemn

(icon choice for wifi's reaction to anything licyn would say)
