Fang, after drinking cup after cup of coffee, and living up to his nickname of twitchy, decided to look for Mitsui once more. Finding her still with Sparky, Fang asked if they could go to see the first, which Mitsui was of course willing to take them. Nitsuka saw the group and decided to follow. Mitsui led them back to the same hall they had the meeting in earlier, where they found the first sitting at a desk writing.
Fang and Sparky talked with the first about Ramatos, other magical locations, and other scientific locations. The first was happy to answer any questions but kept writing the entire time. Sparky was curious as to what he was writing and took a peek, seeing that it was a record of the meeting they had earlier.
Nitsuka approached Mitsui and asked her if she could take her to Zanizyre. MItsui agreed, saying they would go on an adventure. She took Nitsuka to various stores, and looked at and sighed whenever she saw red robes. Nitsuka ending up buying her one but MItsui explained that she couldn’t wear it. When questioning it Mitsui said she could show her but wanted to make sure Nitsuka was up for it. Nitsuka agreed, so Mitsui took her to a secluded area, where she removed her dark robes and a purple aura came forth, causing Nitsuka to experience fear like she had never seen before. Shaken, she managed to ask about Zanizyre, but was unhappy to learn that Mitsui had no clue where she was and was just going to stores hoping to find her at a store.
Disappointed and still shaken, Nitsuka headed back to the city hall. She listened a bit to the conversations that Sparky and Fang were having with the first, with Scalez occasionally piping in as well. She decided to ask about how she could be immortal, like the first, who informed her of how immortality should not be taken lightly, and only with a purpose should immortality be taken. This shocked Ntisuka even more. In the end our party decided to head to an inn, which was being provided to them as emissaries of Reinos.
In the morning as our heroes were getting ready to leave their room, Mitsui was sitting outside waiting, and asked if they could go now. Our heroes couldn’t leave without BK however, and some of our heroes wanted to see what Mitsui would do with her cloak off. She agreed to show them if they were sure, while Fang and Scalez saw terrible nightmares, Sparky only saw demons leaving Mitsui’s eyes.
Mitsui then left looking for Zanizyre, calling her name out through town. Our heroes eventually managed to find her, and convinced her to let BK go and bring him with them. She therefore went to get Mitsui, as the circle then left with our heroes to the nexus of power. Maeoyla, Darwar, Velachamon, Zanizyre, Lorhen, and Mitsui all went with our heroes.
As the group was approaching the forest they encountered a very large group of hoards. The members of the nine and our heroes all prepared to fight. Our heroes targeted a single two headed troll. As Fang attacked it with fire, the creature quickly chose to take Fang out, as they heard the heads talking to each other mentioning how much the fire hurt. It walked to the other side of the front line and easily knocked Fang out, leaving him for dead. As Sparky healed Fang, he tried to stand up but was immediately attacked and knocked back down. As our heroes were harming the troll, his wounds seemed to heal themselves. Our heroes still managed to slowly injure him, however the 2 heads managed to knock down all but Sparky, who was then changed. Fang regained consciousness once more and summoned an Azer, who distracted the troll, giving our heroes enough time to kill it, as BK’s bones sadly turned to dust. Our heroes looked around to see the members of the nine had mountains of corpses surrounding them.
