Episode 77: The Promise and the Price

So, last we left off: Bells Hells, after their excursion to the Shattered Teeth, managed to flee by the skin of their teeth by avoiding what appeared to be, towards the end of the conflict, a homunculus, or sorry, a simulacrum. Different types of weird magical constructions of Ludinus Da'leth, who took a bit of information from that conflict and you fled with indeed your target, a remaining spark of one of the ancient Primordial Titans, particularly flame.
As part of that experience, you also teleported back to Whitestone and after a little bit of a bumpy (chuckles) return because some people just can't seem to roll decent on these teleports, returned to Whitestone to find that many of the other allies that you've made through this ever-growing mounting danger in the middle of the Hellcatch Valley have come to Whitestone to discuss the next plan of events.
In this time, you went into the war room and made some new friends as well as met some old ones, and altogether began to throw on the table what information you had acquired and what needed to happen next.
It was decided as the large world of Exandria currently gathers itself, everyone who might be accessible and available and driven to take arms against this threat that Ludinus and the Ruby Vanguard has built in the center, the heart of Marquet, others still throughout the world continue to be drawn to his cause and that division grows ever stronger throughout the world. As they begin to reach out to those they can, the attention is high on them, their history before them and know that there is an expectation of their arrival without a knowledge of what lies beyond the bloody bridge above the Malleus Key and Ruidus proper on the other side.
You volunteered to be the recon team to go to Ruidus to see what awaits everyone there. In return, when in you felt the information you gathered was helpful or it was too dangerous, you asked for a couple of things.
You met Lady Allura Vysoren, who is looking into acquiring what she can to help you on this journey.
Some possible plotting for how you can sneak into the place you previously were witness to the development and release of the Malleus Key itself and found what wasn't Whitestone Andy, but rather, a fine churro salesman here in the middle of Whitestone.
But upon taking an evening's rest, contemplating the events of the day and the days to come, the mounting anxiety of what lies before you, in the middle of the night, it appears that Laudna has woken up Imogen with interest for events as the evening progresses.
So as we come into here, as everyone else is resting and you have shaken Imogen awake, let us jump back in.
