Collateral Damage - Tough Conversations

The Blooming Court Ch 15 The group wakes up to find Turk has left, much like Greyleaf and Cerius did some time ago. They discuss their next course of action, possibly heading to Granzia for unfinished business with Galahad's father, Antonius; the pincushion-maker fiasco, and Zechs wanting to check on Argo and the guild. The group discusses making any necessary purchases before leaving, even mentioning cold-weather gear as they plan to go to the mountains of Granzia and potentially to Coldbring. Shanks hands Galahad a concoction of sorts that shaves some years off of him, something the elven alchemist has been working on for him.  There's some initial shopping for cold-weather gear and supplies, and discussion about possibly acquiring an Amulet of the Planes. Later, in the midst of the montage, Zechs settles on the callsign Overwatch, which Duo agrees to. They also come across a very familiar sign and come across a familiar tiefling to Hoshino & Shanks. Once inside the tavern, they're greeted by a cheery dwarven gentleman who takes some orders and informs them that the "boss" will be with them shortly.  The group meets Mr. Bell, the 8th face of The Journeyman, who apologizes for taking Hoshino away for so long. He explains what he was doing with Hoshino, gathering information so that the group doesn't have a million questions. He gives the group 2 options: the first would be to stay the course and continue as they are to stop The Constable and his plans, which would alter their timeline's history from a few hundred years ago to the present. Second, they could go back several thousand years to prevent the planes from ever being judged unfit in the first place, which would change several thousand years of their history. In both cases, only the party would retain their memories of the events from their original timeline. The party weighs the decision, and it falls to Zechs, since he has the most to lose in this instance. They even offer potential life rafts for his family if that is a possible option. With a heavy heart and full understanding of the weight of this decision, they take the second option. Mr. Bell respects and understands this decision was not easy to make; he allows a few liferafts and hands them a dossier for their next mission. There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up… Find out what happens next in this episode of the Medusa’s Cascade: Collateral Damage!Theme Music is written and performed by EfflorescenceMixed by Thomas Lapierre IIITitle Card by Pierce Graphics Check out the show at themedusascascade.com Hosted on Acast.
