	With the power of pure charisma, Ichake is able to overwhelmingly convince the front desk that the party is there for a meeting with Chrissy, and instead head to the storage closet where the secret tunnel is, which Ichake is able to pick using his claws. Opening the door revealed a normal storage closet, which after some investigation, Patches is able to find the mechanism that unlocks the secret door, which slides the wall away to reveal a dark passage, which the party enters and closes behind them. Inside they find the hangout spot for the Thieves' Guild, but with setting off an alarm, a human thief is expecting them. With not much animosity between them anymore, Ichake cuts to the chase, not seeking to kill them or hurt them, but find a peaceful resolution to the problem. With this unexpected angle, a second thief, this one a tiefling, takes over, who introduces themself as Vice. Ichake and Vice go back and forth for a bit, with Vice requesting for them to harass Xalyth on their behalf. They can't turn away from crime, but in return, they agree to give the party information on Toi'Viral, a famous reformed demon who wished away the dragons and brought in the start of the PR Era. She has an amulet that can be used to contact her, which is in the city of Arrafell somewhere that Vice knows. In order to find Xalyth, Vice sends them to talk with Captain Brior Windward. Notably, Vice does register as possibly a demon.

	Talking with the Captain points them in the direction of the cultist's old haunt in a hand-waved discussion, which leads them to the sewer access to the cultist's lair.

Talking with the Captain points them in the direction of the cultist's old haunt in a hand-waved discussion, which leads them to the sewer access to the cultist's lair. Patches, having dealt with the cultists before, is able to lead them into the main chamber where cultists are found, as well as a large demon called a Chasme. Ichake jumps in to kill the demon, but the scuffle leaves him much worse for wear, ad his vitality is sapped and he is wounded. With the main threat gone, Ichake falls back, leaving the last two cultists to be killed by Zasheir and Patches. With everyone injured, they retreat back to the Arboretum, waiting for Vice's info to follow them.

It begins with everyone gathered with Raegina and the pilots of the War Rig in order to begin the journey Southbound, beginning with a brief lesson from Raegina about Qa'zaak's power and warning the party that our goal is NOT to fight Ka'zaak, but is to pave a road to [[The Acqua Junction Tiangius\|Acqua Junction]], the battle site between Qa'zaak and the aquatic demons and [[Zariel]], one of which who lost. The primary goal of Raegina's further quests is a "group hiking trip," so to speak, placing pitons along the road to give easy access from the Arboretum to the War Rig with the power of silk.

	Before they set out, the party plays a special game of Kicyr's Roulette, a special Ritual of the Rider Drinking Game where one must resist both alcohol and avoid special doses of poison. Ichake was confident in his own skills after playing many a risky drinking game with his housemates in [[Xandria]], powerful mages who could teach him the value of playing it subtle with your power. With a stone-cold smile and a naive demeanor, he betted the highest amount of the party. Just in case, he also ensured his monetary safety by making a deal with Stix to split their winnings, though it didn't matter in the end, since he won the competition. He did, however, get poisoned by a dose of Midnight Tears, which caused him to wake up at midnight and cough up blood. He is now a little bit scared of drinking alcohol, but is happy with his winnings.

	For their final day of travel, Ichake and the group find a group of people that seem to be going through the process of transforming into snakefolk - a man and a woman, a person with the head of a cobra, and a Yuan-Ti.

			=== '''"ARRAFELL UNDERBELLY" - 5/15/26 - CAT''' ===
			Though a small venturing party, Ichake meets up with [[Patches Vanderburg]] and [[Zasheir]] in order to deal with the threat of thieves in the town of Arrafell, teleporting there through the help of the Shepherds, though they do seem to be a little bit late. Eventually, they meet up with the not-Shepherds Misfit, who works in a place where they heal people (as everyone in the table collectively forgot the name) and Sir Anthony, who are acting on request of the Viscount of Arrafell. Their adventure starts with just a little bit of chaos, saving Saltique Petra and Yuru from their runaway horse, and they meet with Garrett and Nash, who are carrying a litter of crates, and the Shepherds help the party teleport to Arrafell with the power of Silk. They meet up with a tabaxi named Brightpatch, who tells them that the thieves' have had some advantage for getting into these estates that needs to be dealt with. The Viscount is suspicious, as is an artisan named Chrissy, and Brightpatch suggests they talk to Kardyl Starkmark, the owner of a local tavern. After some persuasion with her and some alcohol as a bargaining chip, Kardyl points them in the direction of the Interim City Protection Division to find one of her friends, who is suspicious about another guard named Moss, who has been comitting politically-motivated shake-downs in the name of the Viscount. She also lets slip that the Thieves' Guild is associated with the Artisan's Guild, and that there's a secret tunnel in the storage closet next to Chrissy's office. She also gives the party a cloak that bolsters max HP. With two options in front of them, the party decides to take the direct route to Chrissy's office.

			With the power of pure charisma, Ichake is able to overwhelmingly convince the front desk that the party is there for a meeting with Chrissy, and instead head to the storage closet where the secret tunnel is, which Ichake is able to pick using his claws. Opening the door revealed a normal storage closet, which after some investigation, Patches is able to find the mechanism that unlocks the secret door, which slides the wall away to reveal a dark passage, which the party enters and closes behind them.

She has an amulet that can be used to contact her, which is in the city of Arrafell somewhere that Vice knows. In order to find Xalyth, Vice sends them to talk with Captain Brior Windward. Notably, Vice does register as possibly a demon.

			Talking with the Captain points them in the direction of the cultist's old haunt in a hand-waved discussion, which leads them to the sewer access to the cultist's lair. Patches, having dealt with the cultists before, is able to lead them into the main chamber where cultists are found.

	The morning comes for departure, and Ichake takes up his classic post of lookout on the War Rig, hoping to help Baftzmyr out and also hoping to bond with Baftzmyr on the long journey ahead. To start, Ichake spotted a circle of buzzards and pointed it out to the party, who made the decision to check out the dead thing that the buzzards were circling, finding a ruptured corpse of a Kenku that Ichake initially thought was Lenore's corpse. Ichake sets the body in the ground, and they continue on. When night falls, despite being poisoned, Ichake is awoken to deal with a thread of sandwich demons. He rapidly loses patience for Zasheir, Deliah, and Wynnipher, who decide to eat the sandwich demon corpses, and commands then all to go to bed. He got a moment alone with Baftzmyr, who commanded him to stop asking if she was okay, because she won't be okay for a long time. He resolves to be a comforting presence for her in the shadows without meddling too much anymore.

	On the second day, their venturing continues much as normal, and they find a tan elven woman in Gerudo-esq fashion jumping up and down, trying to get people's attention. She is beaten up, and was being chased by one of the crab demons, and the party quickly jumps into action to help.

She is beaten up, and was being chased by one of the crab demons, and the party quickly jumps into action to help. Ichake's quick use of Sanctuary and Inflict Wounds, combined with a spread of damage from everyone else, is able to take the crab down. As thanks for saving her, she gives Ichake one magical bean in a bag, which confuses him greatly, but he resolves to keep it safe as thanks for her. Ichake does not keep watch that night, and nothing happens.

			On the third day, there is a sandstorm in the path of where they're trying to go, and Raegina chooses to push through it, which causes Ichake to wrap his face and eyes in his old vestments to keep the dust out of his eyes. While going through the desert, Stix hears the crying noise of an animal, but the sandstorm is too thick to see what happens. He turns down Stix's invitation to trade spots, but the heatstroke and sand gets to him, causing him to fall off the War Rig for the second time in the course of his life. No one sees him fall off, and he is forgotten, causing him to run behind the War Rig for a bit before they notice his disappearance and he jumps back on. That night, Raegina offers up to gamble, and Ichake puts money into the pot, again making a deal with Stix to split the winnings. This time, Stix won, and they shared the pot.

			For their final day of travel, Ichake and the group find a group of people that seem to be going through the process of transforming into snakefolk - a man and a woman, a person with the head of a cobra, and a Yuan-Ti. They attempted to stop the War Rig and rob them, but with the help of some magically amplified intimidation and a cannon shot, Ichake is able to ward them away through intimidation. They set up for the night, having gotten four days of travel, and with the help of Nacha, he is able to be teleported back to the Arboretum in time for his next mission.

	It is Ichake's 20th Birthday today. Normally, a birthday is meant to be a day of great excitement. Today is no exception, but there is also a lingering sense of nervousness within it. Today is the day that Ichake finally gets to depart from home. He has never left the bounds of ~~Quixing~~ with the exception of minor expeditions to the grassy bounds outside of the city to gather herbs and minor supplies to live with and do his religious work. Years of curiosity about the way the world works has finally culminated in his grand sendoff from the Asaku Conclave, the most well known conclave of worshippers to Dao Shinto. Who knows what he'll find on his exceptional journey? He sets out into the world, and it's almost as if the winds have blessed his very back. As if Dao Shinto whispers in his ear, blessing his feet, urging him onwards. But he's unaware of the tragedies that may await him.		It is Ichake's 20th Birthday today.

	Ichake's next appearance was in the session "Into The Valley" where they ventured forth with [[Lenore]], [[Skelly]], [[Syl Vipershade]], and Demir ~~Malchan~~ into the Valley of No Return. Some people venture forth seeking vengeance, some people venture forth seeking rescue for their lost friend, but no matter what, the prospect is grim indeed. The session cold-opens at the Federation HQ, which the party spent seven days venturing to, and despite being loosely advised not to go, they tell you that the Valley of No Return and the place where [[Himo Nilo\|Himo]] and Steady Wind were being held is a two-day walk northward. As they begin to travel into the valley, with the sand shifting to red, Ichake spots tunnels with the sound of buzzing bugs coming from them. After some consideration, they decide to ignore the bugs and continue onwards, since the party is a little bit hard-pressed for fighters. The bugs began to start whispering in the party's head, attempting to warn them away from the Valley of No Return, which caused Ichake to spiral slightly as he was reminded of the Ruin Demon from "Stop The Swarming Demons!" However, he was able to press on with everyone else, and find the temple. Ichake volunteered to take the lead walking into the temple, due to being the biggest person in the party, and when pressed with the decision to follow the arrows etched into the floor or ignore them, the party chose to follow the arrows around the dark, winding maze of the temple. Eventually, the party came across a locked door, and when Syl picked it open, they discovered an altar for blood offerings in the image of the demonic minotaur spirit that Ichake saw leave Steady Wind during his torture in Ichake's vision. Rattled, they choose to press on. They continue to follow the arrows through the maze, and eventually come across a set of double doors, moss and peagrass lining the exterior of it, similar to the moss draped across the demonic minotaur's antlers, but notably different. Upon opening the door, Ichake almost reeled in horror, as they found the four-pillared room where Steady Wind and Himo were being kept. They found Himo and Steady Wind, but tragically, they were already passed away. Distraught and heartbroken, Ichake begins to consecrate the bodies for departure to the afterlife, or he would...if they weren't already undead. Suddenly, the demonic minotaur comes from the other room, ready to complete his ritual...and the party swings into combat. Ichake puts their Amulet of Focus to good use, storing a cast of Bless within it to protect it from harm, but the demon's watchful gaze tips off Ichake that it knows his ploy, so he retreats. He spent some time setting up the spirits to be on the party's side, and moves in to strike before getting blasted by lightning. This blast only enrages him further, as he summons the Shrine Watcher Staff and moves to strike. However, hopes are thin as his teammates weather damage, and newly renewed in his vows, Dao Shinto's presence fills the room as he uses his Balm of Peace. He and the demon take a chance to exchange blows and words, as they argue about the efficacy of peace in the land. The demon points out that by coming here, they left the druids to die, but Ichake stands firm in his belief that this was the right call, by telling the demon that the freedom to believe in the future we want is the most beautiful thing of all. Despite this, the demon still kicks Ichake hard, knocking Ichake to the floor. Despite that, Syl manages to get the final hit, and with one final warning, the demon begins to melt into ichor, requesting the party brings more combat to the altared chamber. They continue deeper into the temple, hoping to uncover what it is that Himo and Steady Wind went into the temple they find. While looking around, they found a living quarters where Syl's old boss, Ter, had been staying. They also find a room filled with caged critters, and despite their demonic appearances, Ichake had a soft spot for them, since they looked so peaceful while they were asleep. They backtrack, and Ichake climbs the wall to collect some of the moss from the Altar Chamber, and with Dao Shinto's guidance, it is identified as "an unusual magical energy that the Drow call Fayrerzss, which permeates much of the underdark. It is generally ancient elven magic dating back to the time that the dark elves (drow) were first exiled from the above world." He pockets it and decides to bring it back to Yuru for study. They find another room with another altar, but this altar has been defiled and destroyed (though it appears to match the earlier one, with the exception of stone serpent heads lying around.) He goes to pick up one of the snake heads and feels it tingle with magical energy, and he decides against giving it to Syl as a bit, especially as Lenore warns Ichake of a powerful demon that the altar used to worship. Continuing onwards, they find a room with vials of unidentified liquid lining the walls, as well as syringes filled with the demonic black ichor (except, this one is not black and mucky, this one glistens like oil has been included.) There's also a door on the other end of the room, filled with manacles on the wall, each holding a decayed humanoid body in it that has been malformed and transformed into something grotesque. Ichake comes to realize that the force they're up against has been turning innocent people into demons, which saddens them. Beyond a set of double doors, the party finds what appears to be a war room, though there's not many papers within the room. Despite that, something has definitely been plotting here, putting x's over the Arboretum, as well as one of the altars and two other points on the map. The other points read "The Grove of Sand and Stone. Potential Nature Altar," "First Altar," and "War Altar." Ichake comes to realize that the home dialect that they grew up speaking, what he previously attributed as Troverthian, is actually Abyssal, which gives him a LOT to think about. In the final room they have yet to investigate, they find two traps, both of which containing poison darts. The first chest contained some kind of whip made out of tentacles, later identified as an a tentacled rod. The second chest contained gold. With everything thoroughly explored, the party heads back to the Federation HQ, successful in their mission, but with new purpose ahead of him, as a beam of bright purple light shoots up into the sky and dissipates, marking the changing of the tides...		Ichake's next appearance was in the session "Into The Valley" where they ventured forth with [[Lenore]], [[Skelly]], [[Syl Vipershade]], and [[Demir Nightshade]] into the Valley of No Return. Some people venture forth seeking vengeance, some people venture forth seeking rescue for their lost friend, but no matter what, the prospect is grim indeed. The session cold-opens at the Federation HQ, which the party spent seven days venturing to, and despite being loosely advised not to go, they tell you that the Valley of No Return and the place where [[Himo Nilo\|Himo]] and [[Steady Wind]] were being held is a two-day walk northward. As they begin to travel into the valley, with the sand shifting to red, Ichake spots tunnels with the sound of buzzing bugs coming from them. After some consideration, they decide to ignore the bugs and continue onwards, since the party is a little bit hard-pressed for fighters. The bugs began to start whispering in the party's head, attempting to warn them away from the Valley of No Return, which caused Ichake to spiral slightly as he was reminded of the Ruin Demon from "Stop The Swarming Demons!" However, he was able to press on with everyone else, and find the temple. Ichake volunteered to take the lead walking into the temple, due to being the biggest person in the party, and when pressed with the decision to follow the arrows etched into the floor or ignore them, the party chose to follow the arrows around the dark, winding maze of the temple. Eventually, the party came across a locked door, and when Syl picked it open, they discovered an altar for blood offerings in the image of the demonic minotaur spirit that Ichake saw leave Steady Wind during his torture in Ichake's vision. Rattled, they choose to press on.

However, after about an hour of travel, Bafztmyr's headache began to get worse and worse, to the point where she lost her balance and began to fall off the War Rig in a fainting spell. Ichake attempted to catch her, and succeed he did, but he also lost his balance and fell off of the War Rig as well. After stopping to rejoin the party, Bafztmyr revealed that a massive demon was coming, and the stakes were raised when Cilvdy, Kicyr, and Raegina worked together to blow a large hole in the sand to reveal a massive chamber beneath, where the drumming heartbeat of the demons and the chant of the cultists was overwhelming. They only got a brief chance to catch their bearings before a horde of crab demons burst forth from the ground, one grabbing Kicyr in it's claws and snapping her in half, killing her instantly. With crabs surrounding them and water flooding into the chamber, the party had little chance to think, putting all their efforts into getting out of the pit and keeping each other safe. Ichake made a point to be the last one out of the whole, which caused them to undergo quite a lot of damage and strain, as they had to only climb the rope with one hand, keeping the other open to catch Deliah, who was continuously falling unconscious and falling off of the rope above him. With Rhogar's help, he was able to be pulled up, where he went purely on defense, casting healing and buff spells to keep himself and his allies up and fighting, while also keeping himself defended. Never before seen, also in this fight, was the use of Heiwa, Ichake's white dove familiar, who he used to help his allies out in his time of need. Together, they were able to rally and put up a good fight, one that was drawn out for a long time due to Rhogar's insistence that smacking the crabs back down into the pit as they climbed up was a good idea. Ichake, seeking a quick resolution, casts Inflict Wounds on the final crab, putting it at peace as combat ends. With Raegina being unable to bring back Kicyr, she makes plans to look to the future, as the threat of a Crab Demoness looms on the horizon, one that Zariel failed to defend against. She makes plans to send the War Rig south to Acqua Junction, and implores the adventurers to join them on her hunt.

	With the new developments in Pteris slowly calming down in the coming weeks, Ichake is tasked to returning to the original core values of the arboretum with [[Avel]], Ollie, Dallas, [[The Girl Bard Named Leonard\|Leonard]], and [[Skelly]], by working with the Shepherds to secure the food supply for the Arboretum and ensure its safety. As is customary with a trip to help the Shepherds, a long walk to their rendezvous point is in order, which goes without much delay - Skelly and Ichake form a prime musical duo, and Ichake is also able to make short work of the jobs involving navigation and cooking due to Ichake's guidance, cooking skyr with honey and nuts, a recipe he picked up from [[Friþleas]]. He quickly got to work gardening, taking on the unenviable task of attempting to harvest a kilmatur cactus, which he learned has roots that can extend as far as 30 feet in the ground as well as a flesh that can be made into a poultice that can heal burns. However, the calm plant life is cut very short when two of the plants were revealed to be not real, and in fact, quite dangerous. A good chunk of Ichake's magic was spent keeping Dallas and Leonard up, but without much incident, they were able to take the two plants down.

	The next section of their work involved checking on the livestock, where the party was jumped by a horde of chickens, flying monsters, and rudderkin. The overwhelming swarm was not easy to deal with, forcing Ichake to use Balm of Peace for the second time in the campaign. The battle between the chickens, rudderkin, and flying owl demons is...less deadly, and more of a war of attrition.

	Ichake's next appearance was in the session "Into The Valley" where they ventured forth with [[Lenore]], [[Skelly]], [[Syl Vipershade]], and Demir Malchan into the Valley of No Return. Some people venture forth seeking vengeance, some people venture forth seeking rescue for their lost friend, but no matter what, the prospect is grim indeed. The session cold-opens at the Federation HQ, which the party spent seven days venturing to, and despite being loosely advised not to go, they tell you that the Valley of No Return and the place where [[Himo Nilo\|Himo]] and Steady Wind were being held is a two-day walk northward.

However, he was able to press on with everyone else, and find the temple. Ichake volunteered to take the lead walking into the temple, due to being the biggest person in the party, and when pressed with the decision to follow the arrows etched into the floor or ignore them, the party chose to follow the arrows around the dark, winding maze of the temple. Eventually, the party came across a locked door, and when Syl picked it open, they discovered an altar for blood offerings in the image of the demonic minotaur spirit that Ichake saw leave Steady Wind during his torture in Ichake's vision. Rattled, they choose to press on. They continue to follow the arrows through the maze, and eventually come across a set of double doors, moss and peagrass lining the exterior of it, similar to the moss draped across the demonic minotaur's antlers, but notably different. Upon opening the door, Ichake almost reeled in horror, as they found the four-pillared room where Steady Wind and Himo were being kept. They found Himo and Steady Wind, but tragically, they were already passed away. Distraught and heartbroken, Ichake begins to consecrate the bodies for departure to the afterlife, or he would...if they weren't already undead. Suddenly, the demonic minotaur comes from the other room, ready to complete his ritual...and the party swings into combat. Ichake puts their Amulet of Focus to good use, storing a cast of Bless within it to protect it from harm, but the demon's watchful gaze tips off Ichake that it knows his ploy, so he retreats.

Ichake comes to realize that the force they're up against has been turning innocent people into demons, which saddens them. Beyond a set of double doors, the party finds what appears to be a war room, though there's not many papers within the room. Despite that, something has definitely been plotting here, putting x's over the Arboretum, as well as one of the altars and two other points on the map. The other points read "The Grove of Sand and Stone. Potential Nature Altar," "First Altar," and "War Altar." Ichake comes to realize that the home dialect that they grew up speaking, what he previously attributed as Troverthian, is actually Abyssal, which gives him a LOT to think about. In the final room they have yet to investigate, they find two traps, both of which containing poison darts. The first chest contained some kind of whip made out of tentacles, later identified as an a tentacled rod. The second chest contained gold. With everything thoroughly explored, the party heads back to the Federation HQ, successful in their mission, but with new purpose ahead of him, as a beam of bright purple light shoots up into the sky and dissipates, marking the changing of the tides...

	With the new developments in Pteris slowly calming down in the coming weeks, Ichake is tasked to returning to the original core values of the arboretum with [[Avel]], Ollie, Dallas, [[The Girl Bard Named Leonard\|Leonard]], and [[Skelly]], by working with the Shepherds to secure the food supply for the Arboretum and ensure its safety. As is customary with a trip to help the Shepherds, a long walk to their rendezvous point is in order, which goes without much delay - Skelly and Ichake form a prime musical duo, and Ichake is also able to make short work of the jobs involving navigation and cooking due to Ichake's guidance, cooking skyr with honey and nuts, a recipe he picked up from [[Friþleas]]. He quickly got to work gardening, taking on the unenviable task of attempting to harvest a kilmatur cactus, which he learned has roots that can extend as far as 30 feet in the ground as well as a flesh that can be made into a poultice that can heal burns.

However, the calm plant life is cut very short when two of the plants were revealed to be not real, and in fact, quite dangerous. A good chunk of Ichake's magic was spent keeping Dallas and Leonard up, but without much incident, they were able to take the two plants down.

			The next section of their work involved checking on the livestock, where the party was jumped by a horde of chickens, flying monsters, and rudderkin. The overwhelming swarm was not easy to deal with, forcing Ichake to use Balm of Peace for the second time in the campaign. The battle between the chickens, rudderkin, and flying owl demons is...less deadly, and more of a war of attrition. Once the party gets their footing, they're able to swiftly take them down, securing the food supply and setting them on their journey back home.

	<blockquote>''This session summary is a little bit shorter because Amia's computer crashed before she could save it.''</blockquote>While resting along the War Rig with [[Stix]], [[Delaiah\|Deliah]], [[Rhogar Dreel\|Rhogar]], Bafztmyr, Kicyr, Cilvdy, and Raegina, they found Dallas out in the sands, and had them board the War Rig, which went pretty uneventfully. However, after about an hour of travel, Bafztmyr's headache began to get worse and worse, to the point where she lost her balance and began to fall off the War Rig in a fainting spell. Ichake attempted to catch her, and succeed he did, but he also lost his balance and fell off of the War Rig as well. After stopping to rejoin the party, Bafztmyr revealed that a massive demon was coming, and the stakes were raised when Cilvdy, Kicyr, and Raegina worked together to blow a large hole in the sand to reveal a massive chamber beneath, where the drumming heartbeat of the demons and the chant of the cultists was overwhelming. They only got a brief chance to catch their bearings before a horde of crab demons burst forth from the ground, one grabbing Kicyr in it's claws and snapping her in half, killing her instantly. With crabs surrounding them and water flooding into the chamber, the party had little chance to think, putting all their efforts into getting out of the pit and keeping each other safe. Ichake made a point to be the last one out of the whole, which caused them to undergo quite a lot of damage and strain, as they had to only climb the rope with one hand, keeping the other open to catch Deliah, who was continuously falling unconscious and falling off of the rope above him. With Rhogar's help, he was able to be pulled up, where he went purely on defense, casting healing and buff spells to keep himself and his allies up and fighting, while also keeping himself defended. Never before seen, also in this fight, was the use of Heiwa, Ichake's white dove familiar, who he used to help his allies out in his time of need. Together, they were able to rally and put up a good fight, one that was drawn out for a long time due to Rhogar's insistence that smacking the crabs back down into the pit as they climbed up was a good idea. Ichake, seeking a quick resolution, casts Inflict Wounds on the final crab, putting it at peace as combat ends. With Raegina being unable to bring back Kicyr, she makes plans to look to the future, as the threat of a Crab Demoness looms on the horizon, one that Zariel failed to defend against. She makes plans to send the War Rig south to Acqua Junction, and implores the adventurers to join them on her hunt.
