Guardians of the Grove - Recap 02/09/23

 Following His Own Path

After gathering their bearings and searching beneath the burial grounds once more; the group is able to discover the stolen coin taken from the town under the fake Guardians. The group informs Kieva of the gold and asks for it to be returned to the town, having a certain magical phylactery destroyed and the protection of Diego’s body. The group heads back to the Guardian's household and rest for the evening. After a few light-hearted pranks, the group rests. The next morning the group splits to perform different tasks. Wulf heads to his mother to check in and ensure she is doing ok. Unfortunately, she doesn’t look well. Wulf leaves EDward to help run the shop and enlists Sigurd as well to check in on Nathee from time to time. The Guardians then discuss the next steps in dealing with Atheyas debt. First, heading to Falanton on horseback, then Worchester to acquire an item worth roughly 75k from or for the Broker of Secrets.

                                                 

Let Me Show You Something

Before leaving, Corvus asks Eltuire out…sorry he wanted to show her something… no, wait, not like that…he wanted to bring her into the woods…alone. In seriousness, Corvus wanted to show El a project he had been working on. A tribute and acknowledgment to fallen warriors and the people lost during their battle with Kovish and more. The sentiment incredibly moved El, but even more so were his blades touched by Fate. Through Corvus’ journies, growth, and actions to make things right, he comes closer to achieving a new power.

On the Road, Again   The group heads out to Falantan and decides to camp out for the evening. Blood and Wulf taking the first watch, talk about the Journey ahead and Blood’s unbearable relationship with Eltuire; Corvus follows in an uneventful second watch. Eltuire and Atheya take the final watch as El tries her best to bond with Atheya, but Atheya still isn’t sure about El and her behavior with the group.  As the last watch ends and morning approaches, the group moves closer to their next destination.
