Jericho

Prologue
Reprieve from the constant running arrived in the form of RagDragon the Pale. After weeks of constant struggle, fleeing and confusion the party meets a man with the power to give the party some much needed help. The group wishes to reach the capital city of Jericho in hopes of getting an audience with the King. Ragna is more than happy to oblige. Abracadabra...

Ragna snaps his fingers and the party is suddenly no longer in the village square of squalid West Virginia but in the huge backyard of the eccentric spellcaster. In every direction can be seen the tall spires of a sprawling city and to the north is the mountain of King's Crossing and its crowning peak , the Castle of the King. They are greeted at the wizard's backdoor by a small specimen of the Junon species who welcomes the party and his master. Ragna waste no time setting his servant to preparing the guest quarters and inviting the party to have dinner with him. Then he promptly kicks them out of his mansion-like home.

With all of Jericho before them the party splits up. Steel went out in search of a blacksmith that could rework the Full Plate armor he'd found within the crypt. The rest of the party proceeded toward King's Crossing. The crew of adventuring types would have caught the eye of any crossing their path but with the added effect of their various races quite a spectacle was made. Steel found that within Wercheshire only those of noble birth or privilege could possess Fullplate and he began his search for a way to speak with The College of Nobles. His goal; to become permitted to where such armor.

At the base of King's Crossing it becomes obvious that the party's peculiar appearance would be a hurdle that would stop them from seeing The King. MacDoogle is challenged by guards and a fight is narrowly avoided thanks to the interference of Katrina with Sir Rico. Though skeptical of their motives, Sir Rico let Cryler, Allister and Katrina past the security check point and up to the castle to speak before the king. The rest of the party waits for their return.

Court was being held by The King's advisor, Chancellor Palpetine who was quick to hear the party's message before all of the courtiers and courtesans within the castle. Allister and Cryler recount the strange occurrences that led them to The land of sand and back to the capital city. It quickly becomes obvious that the chancellor cares not for the parties words, whether from disinterest or personal interest is unknown. The meeting was quickly turning toward to nefarious deeds of Allister's brother, the famous thief Serano, until the king's adopted son, Crados, came forward. Crados confirms the party's talk of purple peculiarity and interrupts what seemed to be the efforts of the chancellor to cloud the issue before the king.

The trio leave the king's court, thankful by the prince's interruption only to be led to members of the city guard looking to speak with the brother of the infamous Serano. Allister narrowly escapes capture and Katrina makes new friends. It isn't until Allister and the group return to the city proper that they are assaulted in a dark ally. MacDoogle is drugged and Allister vanishes.

There is no honor among thieves, only business.
