You ask the nearest merfolk where Jasara is. He gasps,and then asks,
"Do you not know what happened? Jasara was murdered! Take these. They will gran you more magical power than you have. Do whatever she was going to do."
Now, you have a few tasks you must do. You should do one of these:
- Investigate the death of Jasara
- Report to whatever higher authority you have now
- Get rid of the Goblins
- Fix the tunnel.
The elemental outstretches it's arms to stop the cat, and takes care of the cleric in the mean time. Nissa beckons you to send the cat to victory. There is little other choice, so you send the cat in, choosing to have nature run its course. The energy of each of the dead creatures leaves and goes to the west. Being the best lead to the shade that you have, you decide to follow it. It leads you to a magnificent castle in the center of the wasteland. You enter in, and enter upon a horde of zombies fighting a group of Kozalian soldiers, one of them with pure white skin.
Along your travel, you rest. Add 2GG to your mana pool.

Honor's Cloak
Design: I love the simplicity of this design, but it's a bit too undercosted. I would make it 1WW. However, it is somewhat fair with Spectra Ward being a thing and there being a few non-damage sweepers in other colors. I like it. 7.5/10

"Good. We found you. I was worrying we wouldn't," Nahiri says.

*Note: Edited Nissa to make her not suck.
You thought the new faces were all over, but a human named Rex Locke enters.
"Oh, you guys are dancing. How cute. Let me know when you're done; I have an appointment to get to," Rex nonchalantly says as he walks to a corner.
"You aren't going to help us?" Nissa asks.
"Let me think about it.... No."
Note: You don't have a dagger. I counted it as a spell cast and failed.
You decide to pay Despair a visit, maybe see what she's so urgent about. You think about going in your usual way, but you want to make an entrance this time, so you choose to enter from the front door.
Oh.
You see a large band of soldiers and... other things trying to fight off some of Death's minions. Typical Thursday, I guess. Well, this isn't your fight, so you sit in the corner and wait.
Please look at the spoiler for SBF & Jenesis for more info.

Johari turned his head towards the new fighters, and his hope was renewed; help had been sent to them? No, perhaps... perhaps it was more than the help had found them, instead? Well, it hardly mattered; the forces of darkness grew in number, and the one with the most vile aura would be back in less than a minute. Johari took a second to reflect upon his life; he had wanted peace, but had found none, and now he was forced to call the shots in a battle against darkness? Well... he would have time to meditate upon this later. For now, they had to fight.
"Your help is much appreciated," he called out to the fighters, turning his body back towards the fighters. "But my spell won't hold the most dangerous one for very long - we can't afford to wait any longer! Commander, now is the time to make your soldiers charge!"
The zombies were outnumbered at last, but Johari knew well enough that numerical superiority didn't always mean an assured victory...
I personally have nothing much else to do during the main phase, so I will pass priority.
The current plan is that all Soldier tokens should attack during the declare attackers step. Johari will not attack. As for the rest, well, that's their call.

"Aaaand... this is happening," said Zeryl. A few options for what to do next crossed his mind. He could report to the authorities, but that thought quickly dissipated. If he went to the authorities, why would they bother hearing him? He was human, and the merfolk hierarchy was tight knit. Also, if a random citizen knew about this already, the authorities most likely already knew about it. The tunnel was collapsed, and Zeryl would have to address that in the future if he didn't want to take the long way home. The goblin brigade was an afterthought. What lingered with Zeryl, "she was murdered." Zeryl had liked Jasara. She was pretty, and had been very receptive to Zeryl's unequivocal charm. Zeryl wandered to the nearest inn to gather more information about Jasara's demise.

Shalin silently listened to the conversation for a while before realizing exactly what was going on--she had walked into the middle of a battle with more undead threats. Though the castle's interior was rather large, she hated being indoors. Too restrictive for her style. She was also getting tired of all these shambling, reanimated corpses. "Shalin Nariya to the rescue!" the cheerful, young female cried, her hands glowing green with energy from her homeland. Drawing a summoning circle on the nearby castle wall, it depicted a large grove of trees from a beyond-tall rainforest. At its center was the biggest of the trees, growing around a large slab full of writing she could not decipher. The girl raised her hands, a stag of striking beauty came running toward her from within the image she had generated on the wall. The moment it crossed through the wall, the pounding of its hooves against the dirt trail turned into clacking against brick and mortar. Shalin and her fleet-of-foot creature glowed with a brilliant, green light for a few seconds before the light died down to an aura-like state. The excited summoner posed alongside her new beast before grabbing its soft, luxurious fur with both hands, swinging her leg over its back, and finishing her mounting motion. With the two empowering each other, Shalin felt she would be ready to take on any undead horde now!

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Kylie raised an eyebrow curiously at the joyful elven girl. "Beast summoning...a crude art, to be sure, but it seems Nissa trusts you, so I suppose I must as well." She turned her attention to Nahiri's Kor soldiers. "The others will guard the commander. Now is our time to strike! Cut down any who stand before you!" Pointing her sword directly at the gate guardian, Kylie rushed forward, her glowing mantle streaming behind her.

"An assassin? No, I consider myself an arms dealer. Despair is just one of my... clients. And I have a meeting with her. So, I have no quarrel with you. Continue," Rex said, as he slumped in the corner.
"Fair enough. Let's fight these undead bastards," Kylie yells, and the soldiers charge along with her. The armored bowmasters have the skill to keep some soldiers at bay, but the three walls crumble to the ground. Kylie goes untouched.
The opponent is at 16 life, and the walls have been destroyed. You only have two turns , however, until the executioner returns.

Nissa warns you that it's too dangerous to go alone, and instead sends her elemental to fight, and it desolates an elf, dropping the opponent to 15 life.
You find directions to the nearest inn in town, and seem to... wake up along the way. That was odd. You don't remember falling asleep. Either way, you've lost all sense of direction and your in a walled off section of the city, with no one around, except those known for ridiculing you on the surface. You must find a way to get out, whatever it takes.

Ugh. This has been a whirlwind of a day. This is how Zeryl felt. Very confused, Zeryl checked his surroundings. He had been en route to the inn, but was now in an empty street.

Scared by the horde of undead, Shalin's newly-summoned creature turned tail and ran back through the portal her summoner brought her through, the rider smacking into the wall she had used to draw the circle on! She groaned, prone on the floor. Perhaps she was a bit too ambitious in doing battle with the undead horde, and good old brute force would be the best way to take them on. Slightly altering her canvas to show a clearing in the woods of her home world, she called on the help of a more battle-capable creature. It appeared to be a tiger-like feline with serrated claws that looked like they could tear through armor. The feline let out a snarl as Shalin scurried aboard.

"Johari, is there anything you can do to hold back that undead for just a bit longer?"
Kylie noticed that the elven girl had summoned a catlike creature next. It seemed more suited to battle than the skittish elk, though from the way the girl was leaping aboard the wild beast, you'd think she had the brains of a goblin.
She didn't trust the "arms dealer" as far as she could throw him, but right now was no time to be fighting a battle on multiple fronts. Perhaps the obvious rightness of their cause could even persuade him away from Despair's circle. Kozal had no small need of weapons manufacture.
OOC: Can we get a recap of what exactly is on the battlefield, since it's been a while since the encounter started?
Sorry again, but life keeps getting in the way. No update until Friday. Then we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

The soul of Ashaya charges one last time with the Kozal Soldiers at the gatekeeper, killing it, and granting you passage into the next room.
"Ah, there's the door for my meeting. Kothal!" Rex calmly says as he nonchalantly walks to the door.
No one else moves out of the manor.
"Tell us what these things are planning." Kylie demanded.
"I have no place to question my clients, and I have no idea what Despair is up to this time. I don't ask questions. I just... supply the weapons." Rex replied.
"Follow him, but we don't kill him until we can get more information," Kylie ordered.
"You do realize that I supply every nation on Oza? Even your generals have requested my power, which is partly why I'm here. I have connections with many powerful figures in Oza, not just Vaerlov. Think about that for a minute." Rex replied without worry.
GWL: You can either go to Despair to discuss business, or to Death to discuss why Despair needs this power, and to possibly get the crew off track.
What will you do now?
It's hopeless.
No one from the surface could hear you, and those who make fun of you, those who bully you are all around. You have to take care of them quickly, or you'll have a bad time.

Johari breathed a sigh of relief as the line of the undead was finally broken.

Anything else could wait; it was his duty to make sure that those who had shed blood for their protection were okay.

Sorry for not telling you this earlier, but the sorcerer's kit contains a supreme staff, the Supreme Landmage Robes & Cape, and the Sorcerer's Belt.

"Great, got out of there," Zeryl said, as has found himself in a slightly less awful conundrum. "Great. How the hell do I get out of here."
Zeryl opened the satchel given to him by the merfolk. In it he discovered a staff, a set of robes and a cape, and a belt of some variety.
"Oh cute. He fit the large staff in a small bag." Zeryl smiled. Well then, time to change up the wardrobe. Zeryl removed his still wet cloak and threw it in a sopping heap to the side of the alley. Donning the robes, cape and belt, he at the very least felt dryer. Leaning the staff on the side of a building, Zeryl rummages through his belt pockets to see if there could be anything useful.

It had all been so sudden. Johari had tried every magic that he had learned, and even some that he hadn't fully mastered at all, just to try and find a way to stop the sudden sickness that they had caught. But it was all in vain. Drenched in sweat, he only had the bodies of the deceased to stare at, horror creeping up his spine as he looked at those he had failed. What had they done to deserve such a Fate, and why hadn't he been able to help them?
"...This place is cursed," the Rhox whispered, not taking his eyes off the soldiers. "We should consecrate the bodies of those we lost before leaving. The darkness within this place is far too strong."
He joined his hands together and began to hum a low prayer to ease the souls of the deceased. It was the least he could do, after all.

She distanced herself from the bodies, behind the praying Johari. She wasn't religious in the way Johari was, but she understood enough to join him in prayer, though to a different greater power.

Looking at the pure horror on your faces, Rex slightly chuckles. "So you are the ones who are more than minions," he says.
"What do you mean, you demonic fiend!" Jenesis lashes out in rage.
"Every night in this manor, a wind falls over the manor, killing all who are minions. Those not given soul or thought," Rex explains. "Your friends may have seemed to be real people, but they were soulless and heartless. You were foolish to enter the manor. Honor never liked it."
"Just give us back our men!" Jenesis cries out.
"I'm afraid I can't. They are less than dust. They do not reside in Vaerlov, they reside nowhere," Rex states nonchalantly. "However, like I said, I have a meeting with Despair, and I couldn't miss that. Kothal!"
The rest of the party has been taken aback by this horror. Many of them pray, and none could see this coming. Will you leave this wretched place, or delve deeper to find the reason for this madness?
EDIT: Silly me, forgot Glurman!
You ruffle through your belt to find nothing but spare change and a document. You add 30 Suna and Orders From the Council to your inventory.

Nothing useful in the pockets, but hey, free money! Zeryl folded the note and replaced it in his pocket. He'd read them in time. First things first. He was stuck in a walled off section of the city. Picking up his staff, he touched it to the nearest rampart.
"I haven't been learning all this stuff for nothing, right?" Zeryl focused and the wall began to shift and transform. It fractured and a small hole stood before him.
"I was going for a door, or a tunnel, but whatever works I guess," Zeryl said aloud to no one in particular. Getting on his hands and knees, he tossed his staff through the hole then shuffled through the small opening.
"Ah crap." The rough edges of the tunnel had snagged his snazzy new sleeve. Not particularly new anymore. Emerging through the other side, he stood and leaned his staff on his shoulder. Still patently lost, even more so than he was before, but not walled off anymore at least. Zeryl seemed to be forgetting a lot these days, waking up in strange places, the reason he was there in the first place, you know... the little things. Zeryl unfurled the note from his pocket and read it to himself.

You ask the nearest merfolk where Jasara is. He gasps,and then asks,
"Do you not know what happened? Jasara was murdered! Take these. They will gran you more magical power than you have. Do whatever she was going to do."
Now, you have a few tasks you must do. You should do one of these:
- Investigate the death of Jasara
- Report to whatever higher authority you have now
- Get rid of the Goblins
- Fix the tunnel.
Along your travel, you rest. Add 2GG to your mana pool.
You have joined Johari and Kylie's Party! Please look at SBF & Jenesis's spoiler for reference.
Honor's Cloak
Design: I love the simplicity of this design, but it's a bit too undercosted. I would make it 1WW. However, it is somewhat fair with Spectra Ward being a thing and there being a few non-damage sweepers in other colors. I like it. 7.5/10
Flavor: This is a good representation of Honor, actually, so Bonus points for giving spot on text about the game world. Granted, I am envisioning Honor as more of a jerk, but you'll learn about that later. 7/10
14.5/20 (Succes!)
Kylie levels up!

Please revert back to your L3 character.
Your body is surrounded by a white cloak, ready for battle!
Shalin joins your party!
Shalin enters with a strange elf. The elf immediately recognizes the otherworldly commander.
"Good. We found you. I was worrying we wouldn't," Nahiri says.
"I believe we were the ones who found you," Nissa replied. "Anyway, I think Ashaya should have a go at the undead."
Ashaya's Soul is ready to fight, along with Shalin and Nissa, World Warrior.

<3>
*Note: Edited Nissa to make her not suck.
You thought the new faces were all over, but a human named Rex Locke enters.
"Oh, you guys are dancing. How cute. Let me know when you're done; I have an appointment to get to," Rex nonchalantly says as he walks to a corner.
"You aren't going to help us?" Nissa asks.
"Let me think about it.... No."
You decide to pay Despair a visit, maybe see what she's so urgent about. You think about going in your usual way, but you want to make an entrance this time, so you choose to enter from the front door.
Oh.
You see a large band of soldiers and... other things trying to fight off some of Death's minions. Typical Thursday, I guess. Well, this isn't your fight, so you sit in the corner and wait.
Please look at the spoiler for SBF & Jenesis for more info.
You could do other stuff while here, you think to yourself. Or you could be lazy.

"Your help is much appreciated," he called out to the fighters, turning his body back towards the fighters. "But my spell won't hold the most dangerous one for very long - we can't afford to wait any longer! Commander, now is the time to make your soldiers charge!"
The zombies were outnumbered at last, but Johari knew well enough that numerical superiority didn't always mean an assured victory...
I personally have nothing much else to do during the main phase, so I will pass priority.
The current plan is that all Soldier tokens should attack during the declare attackers step. Johari will not attack. As for the rest, well, that's their call.

"An assassin? No, I consider myself an arms dealer. Despair is just one of my... clients. And I have a meeting with her. So, I have no quarrel with you. Continue," Rex said, as he slumped in the corner.
"Fair enough. Let's fight these undead bastards," Kylie yells, and the soldiers charge along with her. The armored bowmasters have the skill to keep some soldiers at bay, but the three walls crumble to the ground. Kylie goes untouched.
The opponent is at 16 life, and the walls have been destroyed. You only have two turns , however, until the executioner returns.
Relic-Grove Stag
Design: Green doesn't typically give protection, and this is stupidly overpowered as a 3/3. It might be printable as a 2/2, but definitely not a 3/3. Plus, color-shifted effects should typically cost more than usual. 5/10
Flavor: I understand the flavor and it makes sense, but it makes sense in the way Hill Giant makes sense, not the way Chained to the Rocks makes sense. 6/10
11/20 (Fail)
Nissa warns you that it's too dangerous to go alone, and instead sends her elemental to fight, and it desolates an elf, dropping the opponent to 15 life.

Kylie noticed that the elven girl had summoned a catlike creature next. It seemed more suited to battle than the skittish elk, though from the way the girl was leaping aboard the wild beast, you'd think she had the brains of a goblin.
She didn't trust the "arms dealer" as far as she could throw him, but right now was no time to be fighting a battle on multiple fronts. Perhaps the obvious rightness of their cause could even persuade him away from Despair's circle. Kozal had no small need of weapons manufacture.
OOC: Can we get a recap of what exactly is on the battlefield, since it's been a while since the encounter started?

The soul of Ashaya charges one last time with the Kozal Soldiers at the gatekeeper, killing it, and granting you passage into the next room.
"Ah, there's the door for my meeting. Kothal!" Rex calmly says as he nonchalantly walks to the door.
No one else moves out of the manor.
"Tell us what these things are planning." Kylie demanded.
"I have no place to question my clients, and I have no idea what Despair is up to this time. I don't ask questions. I just... supply the weapons." Rex replied.
"Follow him, but we don't kill him until we can get more information," Kylie ordered.
"You do realize that I supply every nation on Oza? Even your generals have requested my power, which is partly why I'm here. I have connections with many powerful figures in Oza, not just Vaerlov. Think about that for a minute." Rex replied without worry.
GWL: You can either go to Despair to discuss business, or to Death to discuss why Despair needs this power, and to possibly get the crew off track.
What will you do now?
It's hopeless.
No one from the surface could hear you, and those who make fun of you, those who bully you are all around. You have to take care of them quickly, or you'll have a bad time.
(This isn't really a challenge, but is more of a puzzle. It can still be finished through Card creation, though.)

Zeryl took a look at the nearest person who hasn't noticed him yet. Quietly, he makes his face into that of the would-be perpetrator, turns his back, and casually strolls away, hoping nobody wants to stop for a chat.

With Rex's path unknown and rest needed for your crew, you decide to rest. Teaching each other some of your ways, you all add 1GGWW to your mana pool.
Suddenly, a terrible curse falls upon your fellow soldiers, causing them intense coughing, fevers and vomiting. Within a half-hour, they are all dead. Johari tried to tend to them, but it was no use. The disease was unlike anything he'd ever seen, and he knew of nothing that could help them.
All of your soldier tokens have died.

Zeryl opened the satchel given to him by the merfolk. In it he discovered a staff, a set of robes and a cape, and a belt of some variety.
"Oh cute. He fit the large staff in a small bag." Zeryl smiled. Well then, time to change up the wardrobe. Zeryl removed his still wet cloak and threw it in a sopping heap to the side of the alley. Donning the robes, cape and belt, he at the very least felt dryer. Leaning the staff on the side of a building, Zeryl rummages through his belt pockets to see if there could be anything useful.

It had all been so sudden. Johari had tried every magic that he had learned, and even some that he hadn't fully mastered at all, just to try and find a way to stop the sudden sickness that they had caught. But it was all in vain. Drenched in sweat, he only had the bodies of the deceased to stare at, horror creeping up his spine as he looked at those he had failed. What had they done to deserve such a Fate, and why hadn't he been able to help them?
"...This place is cursed," the Rhox whispered, not taking his eyes off the soldiers. "We should consecrate the bodies of those we lost before leaving. The darkness within this place is far too strong."
He joined his hands together and began to hum a low prayer to ease the souls of the deceased. It was the least he could do, after all.

Seeing the mass death of soldiers everywhere after waking up caused Shalin to start shivering. Not because she was cold, but out of fear. She slowly backed away from the mass grave. She distanced herself from the bodies, behind the praying Johari. She wasn't religious in the way Johari was, but she understood enough to join him in prayer, though to a different greater power. She opened her eyes every so often, her heart pounding while waiting for the rhox to stand and flee the place.

Looking at the pure horror on your faces, Rex slightly chuckles. "So you are the ones who are more than minions," he says.
"What do you mean, you demonic fiend!" Jenesis lashes out in rage.
"Every night in this manor, a wind falls over the manor, killing all who are minions. Those not given soul or thought," Rex explains. "Your friends may have seemed to be real people, but they were soulless and heartless. You were foolish to enter the manor. Honor never liked it."
"Just give us back our men!" Jenesis cries out.
"I'm afraid I can't. They are less than dust. They do not reside in Vaerlov, they reside nowhere," Rex states nonchalantly. "However, like I said, I have a meeting with Despair, and I couldn't miss that. Kothal!"
The rest of the party has been taken aback by this horror. Many of them pray, and none could see this coming. Will you leave this wretched place, or delve deeper to find the reason for this madness?
EDIT: Silly me, forgot Glurman!
You ruffle through your belt to find nothing but spare change and a document. You add 30 Suna and Orders From the Council to your inventory.
These jerks will figure you out soon enough, and there doesn't seem to be a way out. At least, not one evident right now.

"I haven't been learning all this stuff for nothing, right?" Zeryl focused and the wall began to shift and transform. It fractured and a small hole stood before him.
"I was going for a door, or a tunnel, but whatever works I guess," Zeryl said aloud to no one in particular. Getting on his hands and knees, he tossed his staff through the hole then shuffled through the small opening.
"Ah crap." The rough edges of the tunnel had snagged his snazzy new sleeve. Not particularly new anymore. Emerging through the other side, he stood and leaned his staff on his shoulder. Still patently lost, even more so than he was before, but not walled off anymore at least. Zeryl seemed to be forgetting a lot these days, waking up in strange places, the reason he was there in the first place, you know... the little things. Zeryl unfurled the note from his pocket and read it to himself.
"Oh, right... that."
