Prospero!

Strange happenings today in the sunken city of Kasmarkin. One of the
troll senators found an odd-looking key on the streets. As he requested
help, a small group, led by Miriyan came to assist him. In the mean
time, Lord Taug noticed that something was going on in the streets and
claimed the key belonged to him. The key was hidden in a safe spot
though. Taug seemed to be quite eager to get the key back, the trolls
thinking he was hiding some sort of treasure. Furious with rage, Taug
tried to get the key back, killing a few trolls during his outburst.

The trolls, crying for help, finally got Lady Demeter to get rid of Lord
Taug, leaving the road free for the assembled party to find the lock
that the key fit in. It seemed to open a large tomb, containing the
final resting place of Overlord Gruul, the leader of the Arcanian
mercenaries. Inside, the group found a little coinbox. By this time, the
numbers in the group had grown and it consisted of Angelus, Pepper,
Karyn, Nerull, Aragon, Ballan, Quillian, Greywolf, Trill, Shylmysten,
Rhuarc and Devorith, still being led by Miriyan. Quite soon, they
figured out that the coinbox reacted in a strange manner to gold being
put in it. It actually seemed to grow a bit every time some was
inserted. After a generous donation, the coinbox morphed into a little
chest. The chest didn't seem to accept gold coins, throwing them out
instead. The silver commodity appeared to be the key for it though.

Piling up the party's gold, Pepper and Shylmysten ran across Sapience to
amass the required silver, using the Miriyan's skills in tarot to travel
as fast as they could. After collecting silver from all over the
continent, the chest was also saturated quite quickly and changed into a
vault. This vault happened to react only to gold bars put inside it. The
party quickly managed to locate a few sponsors and gold was supplied
from all over Sapience. Again, Pepper and Shylmysten ran across the
continent, collecting gold bars. When the vault was full, a strange aura
formed around the last person that put a gold bar in it. Oddly enough,
the whole group was transported through the ether to some place in
Delos, a small Bazaar. They quickly found out that a small alley led
them into the Temple of Wealth and Trade. There they walked straight
into a trap, a fierce lava river. Narrowly escaping, the party returned
fast to find out that they needed to lower a magical bridge first.
Miriyan quickly managed to organize the party and all began working on
figuring out the required combination. The bridge was lowered by turning
four crystal balls to the right colours.

The puzzle took a while to be unraveled, eventually costing the group
some extra gold as they were trying to bribe Prospero's imp servant to
tell them what the combination was. Tricking Caliban, the imp, Miriyan
eventually found out what colours were required to unlock the magical
bridge. Finally the Inner Temple was open to all and the group found
Lord Prospero, God of Trade and Wealth just finishing His Meal. Being
known for His generosity He invited all the mortals to join Him.

And so returns Lord Prospero, God of Trade and Wealth, to the realms of
Achaea.

Penned by my hand on the 10th of Daedalan, in the year 319 AF.
