The Almarian Senate has convened to address the unprecedented events of the recent past and Nari & the Boys hope to shed light on what’s really been happening. The ormechs awakening, the destruction of the opera house, the missing citizens, the fire at Smitchy’s Bazaar… our heroes’ unique insight into these events just might be enough to convince the people of the true danger posed by Iramiel and Inevitability.

With two Heralds defeated, Nari & the Boys have turned their attention to the remaining three. Our heroes fear that their friends and loved ones to the north in the Glass Mountains may be in one’s path of destruction, having previously heard the voice of the Breath of Pavantis just outside Woodbridge. Is there enough time left for Nari & the Boys to frustrate Iramiel’s operative in that part of the world, or is failure inevitable?

In the tunnels deep beneath the streets of Almar, Nari & the Boys find themselves face-to-face with not one but two Heralds of the Angel Iramiel: Amavi, Herald of Mind; and Seros, Herald of Fire. Our heroes, already wearied from numerous encounters en route, can’t afford any missteps when fire goes on the offensive.

Nari & the Boys have been ambushed in the Cathedral to Iramiel, a once bright symbol of the Empire’s absolute control, now a neglected gathering place of the few remaining faithful. Our heroes suspect something important hides here given the symbols from the living canvas that adorn the cathedral walls and the ferocity of its congregants. What secrets will Nari & the Boys uncover should they survive?

Nari & the Boys see a familiar face in the market as they continue their investigation in Almar. The abandoned Cathedral of Iramiel seems like the logical next step, but first, Pine lays it all out there, Nari is good at talking, Rousse listens to his stomach, and Richter shows his sensitive side.

An unexpected guest ruins the mood, leaving Nari & the Boys scrambling to make necessary accommodations. Vague enough for you? Good! Also, Rousse strikes a deal, Richter knows what he’s doing, Nari worries about a friend’s job, and Pine swears he saw something bonkers.

While just trying to enjoy the music of Tedward (and Pender), Nari & the Boys find themselves in the Headsman’s sights. Indifferent to the hundreds of innocent bystanders in the way, Bartoz launches his assault on our heroes. Cornered in their balcony with no clear path to their enemy, Nari & the Boys must stop Bartoz and his men before they put any more civilians in danger.

Finally, the night of Tedward’s (and Pender’s) performance at the Dracia Opera House has arrived. Nari & the Boys spend the afternoon investigating the Gallery and doing some other things, but let’s be honest, you’re only here for Tedward. We don’t blame you.

A case of mistaken identity leads to Nari & the Boys being openly attacked in the streets of Almar. It turns out Pine isn’t the only aged swordsman wearing Menorese blue here, as Richter makes himself known and confronts the attackers. This volatile situation is made only more so given the two retired officers’ strained history. Also, Nari totally fan-girls out and Rousse gives prayer another shot.

Halloween Special 2022 – Burt, Hop, Ember, and Artis have been busy since we last heard from them; they used the key they were awarded in Marlek to acquire a precious map from the imperial facility west of Calta, and have followed it to a potential weapon against Inevitability. We now find our other heroes floating over Adrias, a city sunk under the Sapphire Sea 5 years ago, ready to attempt an expedition into the cold, dark water. Will they find the boon they seek, or succumb to the dangers of the depths?

As we begin Chapter 7, we join Nari & the Boys—minus one—as they arrive at last in Almar, the largest city on Pavantis. Reeling from the loss of their dear companion, our heroes set out to get their bearings and begin their search for vestiges of the ancient world, long-hidden beneath the city’s streets. A big city has its big perils, however, and Nari & the (Remaining) Boys must deal with criminal threats, sleepless dreams, the Angel’s influence, and their own pasts catching up to them.

Nari & the Boys find themselves in the Ark, the site of Niam’s ancient laboratory and the birthplace of the Organic-Mechanical program that saved Ebi’s people thousands of years ago. With his memories now restored, Ebi attempts to use this technology to aid his people, but what else might the use of this power awaken? Also, someone forgets to mute their microphone…

Their way blocked, Nari & the Boys face the scavengers' most deadly creation; at one time a Bishop but now modified into a mindless killing machine that turned on its creators. It stands between our heroes and the path down to the ancient laboratory where long-sought answers about Ebi’s people may still exist.

Nari & the Boys fight their way past the scavengers’ frankensteined constructs and into the Imperial facility itself. Unaware of what horrors may await them in this tomb of destruction and decay, our heroes navigate these ruined halls led by their guide, Dr. Sydney. Her old office may contain valuable information for Nari & the Boys, but only if her magical locks have held strong.

For step one, our heroes adopt personas more inline with high stakes betting: The Man of Menorest, free-spending gambler; June, bodyguard and hype-person; Pranceval, morally ambiguous valet; and Deacon 381, the prize.

Summer Special 2022 - We last heard from Burt, Hop, Ember, and Artis Last Christmas, but much has happened in the 5 years since the shattering of Pavantis. Now a little bit older, a little bit tougher, and a little bit… darker, our other heroes arrive under cover of night at a camp of cultists. Their contract: to find a former member of these zealots to the Faith of Inevitability and secure his Freedom! If the JV Team is too Careless even something as quiet as a Whisper could bring the entire camp down on them, but the danger is worth it as the reward is worth far more to them than gold.

The conflict with the High Adjudicators continues as our heroes struggle to inflict any solid blows on the surprisingly mobile Trippin. This heavily armored Adjudicator is capable of deadly force or a quick escape with their target, the sword Rulf used years ago to subjugate Taybury. Should Nari & the Boys prevail, they must decide whether justice means killing the usurpers or forcing them to face Kira’s judgment.

Nari & the Boys struggle to maintain order when the Bailiffs’ masters arrive far sooner than expected. Flaunting Taybury’s sovereignty, these “High Adjudicators” mean to go wherever and take whatever they please. And they aren’t the only threats within the city; the mysterious ambassador from Arcolvi’s true intentions are still unknown. Also, Rousse gets a riding lesson, Ebi proposes a destructive plan (even for him), Nari is bleeped repeatedly, and Pine finds a kitten.

A more advantageous position and the help of a newly resuscitated Kira may not be enough to turn this fight around for Nari & the Boys.

Pavantis mourns; never before has the world witnessed such destruction. The Crystal Engine, a corrupted dressing for a wound long festered, no longer shields her from the ravages of Inevitability. And yet, the Engine itself no longer threatens Pavantis’s destruction, either. It was the impossible choice of four heroes, Nari & the Boys, that precipitated this global calamity. But how did these four come to have such a ponderous decision upon their shoulders? How did we get here?
