Bk. 04 Ch. 74  Asturias Chase, using her connections within The Bent Bow, has received word on the location of a powerful blue dragon: Veraphlox. Some hunters within the guild seek the thrill of hunting the dragon, though none have ever been successful. Even though they are incredibly dangerous, Veraphlox may be Finnigan’s best bet at hatching his lightning phoenix egg…provided everyone survives the encounter.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 73  Kapras, for all of its charms, is far from the end of the road for our heroes. The temptation to stay can’t outweigh the need to stop Lavesque and save Agnetai. There is no telling what the demigod has planned if he can overthrow his divine father. But first, Finnigan wants to take a detour to visit a lightning creature. He has options, but they all lead away from Carricar and into the unknown.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 72  Darvin, Finnigan, and Arannis turn their attention to Kapras now that The Regal Splendor is airworthy once again. It’s by no means a short flight, but the journey itself is of little concern compared to what awaits them in the small seaside town. They have had more than their share of incidents, but it may be the friendlier reunions that cause the most concern.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 71  The Golden Moon pirates have fled, but not before taking their frustration out on the airship. Darvin, Arannis, and Finnigan rush to help their allies and repair what they can. Ulwan and Felicity were able to prevent the worst from happening, but there is much to be done before everyone is ready to take to the skies. Even so, simply getting into the air won’t mean that everything (and everyone) is okay.

Bk. 04 Ch. 70  The Golden Moon pirates have defeated the lightning phoenix and seek to claim its egg as their own. Once Finnigan, Darvin, and Arannis realize what’s at stake, they decide that they must intervene. Goldbeard and her sisters are unlikely to let their prize go without a fight, but they aren’t quite at full strength after the battle with the phoenix. Even so, they might have a dirty trick or two up their sleeves.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 69  With the capture of The Golden Moon pirates, Darvin, Finnigan, and Arannis are faced with a tough decision: what now? The Regal Splendor is hardly built for keeping prisoners, and the pirates can be quite charming when they aren’t trying to loot the ship. There is a long way to go, and the pirates are far from the only danger in the skies.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

High above the frozen landscapes of southern Carricar, in the perpetual night, The Regal Splendor is under attack. Swooping in on large winged creatures, a small gang of pirates begins an assault. Who they are and what they want is unknown, but that clarity will have to wait. If Darvin, Finnigan, and Arannis can’t stop them soon, it will put everyone on the ship in danger.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

After facing down Malcias and General Nils, the city of La Berra is somewhat less than grateful. For the most part, they were not ready for bloodshed to be brought to their city. They certainly weren’t anticipating the god of the dead to walk through their streets. All of this has left them wary of our heroes, who must now decide on a new path forward.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 66  The Way of Obligate Mortality is determined to see their plans through to the end, no matter the cost. As the rooftop battle seems to take a turn for the worse, sacrifices must be made to assure survival in the midst of success. General Nils Verages is putting it all on the line to correct the mistakes of the past, but even that may not be enough to get what he really wants from Darvin.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 65  Darvin, Arannis, and Finnigan have come face to face with General Nils Verages and his Way of Obligate Mortality followers. Here, on the roof of the Koram church, an eery ritual circle has been formed. Huge skeletal fingers made of stone rise up at the perimeter of a runic circle. The purpose of this circle is unknown, but Nils is determined to see his plan through.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 64  The Way of Obligate Mortality employs several obscure, and often macabre, tactics to pursue their own goals. This is reflected in how they alter their own bodies, but the truth of how far they are willing to go remains unknown. General Nils Verages and his followers seem overly preoccupied with Darvin’s role in their plans. When Darvin, Arannis, and Finnigan finally get a chance to confront him, they may finally have a chance to discover why.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 63  After defeating Malcias, Darvin, Finnigan, and Arannis decided it was time to turn their attention to General Nils Verages and The Way of Obligate Mortality. Other than knowing that they act with more zeal and disregard for life, their true goals remain unknown. The pursuit leads our heroes upwards, first to a room lined with occupied coffins. However, their way is quickly blocked b Nils’ forces.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 62  Pursuing Malcias through the church brought our heroes to a lab where Darvin was able to reclaim much of his stolen leg. Though it was far from intact, it was able to regain its mobility after some small modifications. With Malcias still beyond reach, the party began searching a nearby room that seemed unnaturally dark. However, it seemed to be the only path available to Malcias. When further searching turned up nothing, they were in for an unpleasant surprise.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 61  Thanks to Tonk’s music and Ingrid’s blizzard, Darvin, Arannis, and Finnigan managed to get out of the thick of the battle. However, the distraction also allowed Malcias and General Nils to hide deeper within the church. After a violent encounter, some time to plan and recover is appreciated, but haste will still be needed in order to put an end to Malcias and whatever scheme General Nils has in mind. As they disperse deeper into the church, our heroes will need to think on their feet if they hope to find them.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 60  The fight against Malcias and his devout followers rages on. He is joined by skilled fighters and dedicated citizens alike, though they do not all share the same combat expertise. Darvin, Finnigan, and Arannis must try to overcome their numbers before reinforcements can arrive. Malcias believes that his monks and the people of La Berra will rush to his aid, but he may find help harder to find than hoped.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 59  Indeed, Malcias has a great deal of information on The Way of Obligate Mortality, and he views their path as profane. However, he is far more concerned with rooting out those with information than with sharing what he knows. When Darvin and Arannis refuse to help, the pretence of politeness fades. As each side realizes the other will be of no help, Finnigan makes his presence known, calling out to challenge Malcias. A challenge which, undoubtedly, will be answered.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 58  The city of La Berra may be new to Darvin, Arannis, and Finnigan, but that doesn’t mean it is without allies. Iskra Maldon, the Ice Genasi and reformed member of The Conscription, is more than happy to lend a hand so long as it is in secret. There are new dangers brewing within the church that require her to act with caution. Even so, Iskra can only provide partial information. To know anything for certain, a more direct approach may be needed.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 57  The journey aboard The Regal Splendor to the city of La Berra has nearly come to an end. The cold and the dark are ever present, with the conditions being the harshest above decks. Within the ship, the party travels in relative comfort. During the journey, everyone has a chance to grow closer and open up, particularly Finnigan Tempest. His time before joining with everyone had its own twists and turns, which could impact the mission against Malcias.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 56  Taking to the skies aboard The Regal Splendor, the party begins their journey south to La Berra. The city lies far to the south of Earl, the last major city in Carricar before reaching the icy southern shores. Thanks to the airship, the journey should be rather uneventful, and it affords everyone time to share what they learned in Earl and to plan for the dangers to come. Malcias is undoubtedly a dangerous foe, but he is hardly the only danger that lies ahead.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames

Bk. 04 Ch. 55  The negotiations with the leaders of Earl came to a peaceful resolution. As part of the Bulb training, Darvin, Finnigan, and Arannis spent time growing their bonds with various people in the city and their own traveling party. Friendships were forged and tokens of gratitude exchanged. Some, perhaps, would aide them in the future. As their stay in Earl comes to a close, there is one last surprise that will bring their adventure to new heights.   Music: twitter.com/DarylBarnes_ Art: twitter.com/gabi_desu Patreon: patreon.com/skyrendpodcast Discord: discord.com/invite/yEbuAVU Baby Bestiary: twitter.com/metalweavegames
