	Fane sneaks around the back of the Church of the Goddess of Coat's pasture to try to find a way to get to where they might be holding any kind of prisoners to search for Vaishali. ~~<small>[His~~ ~~player~~ ~~was~~ ~~absent~~ so ~~this~~ is ~~all~~ he ~~did]</small>~~		Fane sneaks around the back of the Church of the Goddess of Coat's pasture to try to find a way to get to where they might be holding any kind of prisoners to search for Vaishali. He approached from a packaging room with cold storage boxes that have kohd written on them. He takes pictures of it quickly so he can have it translated by Nihlus later.

			Heading deeper in, two things become extremely evident, there is A LOT of blood in the area, which he can tell by scent alone, and in just a few rooms over, he can hear two voices bickering. He heads in the opposite way of the voices and comes across a room where the cold storage boxes were being pumped with their liquid nitrogen for keeping whatever is inside safe. Continuing his travel, he finds a sewer system carrying blood from what seems to be several slaughter rooms, leading out into a sickening pond that is rancid. He once again hears the voices and presses forward. He peeks into the room with the voices and finds two workers who are slaughtering some of the pasture animals for processing. He presses forward.

			Jumping over the small creek of blood, Fane finds himself face to face with an elf with cybernetic enhancements. The elf tells him he can't be down here and they get in a tussle. Fane tries to force the door behind the elf open with the elf's head but that doesn't seem to workfand he ends up killing the elf instead, who had screamed for help and called for the aid of the other slaughterhouse workers. They try to hurry, but struggle to catch up to Fane in time as he grabs another worker and forces them to open the door, inside findings Vaishali and three other prisoners. Relieved, she tells Fane that she had been taken prisoner and with the others, they had been waiting in agony to be taken to be slaughtered as well, deeper into the facility than where Fane had travelled. Not waiting or curious enough to see this barbaric ritual for himself, he hurries the four prisoners out and they head for safety, Fane taking out one more worker on his way out. They head for the pasture above.

			The blood-stained Fane and Vaishali meet up with the rest of the crew, ready to join them to go face the 'Messengers of the Goddess'. Nihlus translates the code Fane saw on the boxes that were shipping out. "Sonrise" "Supply" "Rations". Henrietta comes to the sickening realization that the culling of her people has become a food source for the growing army of the opposition.

			As they are heading late to the Church of Coats a few hours behind their friends, the ground below Kranik falls out and while he is able to catch the side, Blue falls down below and when Kranik reaches his ikonis down to her, he falls as well but thankfully not on top of her.

			In a massive dug tunnel that leads from the Disciple of the Shining Smile west to the docks, Blue can sense something reaching back out to her in the vibrations of Mother's hum, but something is completely wrong about it. It knocks Blue out, so Kranik wakes her up and tells her that they need to get out of the tunnel. They head further in and find some mouskin and simiah working on extending the tunnel still and when Blue tries to use the hum to awaken their mines away from Chul's power, it doesn't work and instead forces Chul to send out a wave of mind control again. Blue has a vision of Motherboard putting her protective wings around her to keep her safe from the control, but when she looks to Kranik, she sees that he is holding his weapon and has his violent grin and glowing red eyes. He begins to attack Blue with intent to kill, so she pushes his limits of stress with spells and after he has dealt damage to her, she finally manages to harm him enough for his mind to snap back. He apologizes and then helps her to break the control over the other four again, sending them to hide at the Discipline before they race to the Church of Coats again.

			During breakfast, Kranik receives word that he is supposed to return to the ring that day to fight again with Barcelona's sponsorship. There is a back and forth between the crew, Nihlus channels a vision from Motherboard showing that Kranik will be beat by Pinball Wizard and Fane will be found out and in the end, it is decided that Kranik will not fight again and instead will go and tell Barcelona that he has little interest in a fighting career where he cannot kill him enemies.

			Blue is having a little bit of a weird breakdown. Boy, hope this doesn't directly affect decisions that will need to be made later in this session.

			Blue goes with Kranik down to see Barcelona in the fighting arena and tell her the bad news, but the sponsor is not alone. Seated beside her is '''Cambria''', the majority owner of all Chuck, who offers Kranik that she will clear Kranik and Avalon's records and give them a good life here at the Chuck's on Oakist if he signs a contract to continue fighting.

			Kranik refuses, despite the temptation, not wanting to trade one lack of freedom for another. Cambria is upset by this and tells him that he then must leave immediately. He heads upstairs, gathers everyone else and they run into the Pinball Wizard on their way out. He offers to be a decoy so they can escape with Cambria noticing and not go out the front where Cambria had warned that Kevlar and a new set of bounty hunters is waiting for them.

			After safely leaving through the backway, they sneak around the front and run for the woods, but it doesn't take very long for Kevlar and her goons to catch up. 8 minions, half Sonrise agents and half Teno's join Kevlar as well as Viper, a goblin assassin. They easily take down all ten of these enemies and when they have Kevlar on her knees, prepared for death, she answers questions for Kranik, telling him that she saw fauns take Vaishali. As her final wish, she asks Kranik to take her to their mother so Avalon can decide if she should live or die. This bothers Blue because Blue, a Gravekeeper fungril, has been craving death and wishes to not see Kevlar spared. Kranik and Blue split off to go to the Disciples of the Shining Smile with Kevlar while Henrietta, Nihlus and Fane head for the Church of the Goddess of Coats. Kranik gives Fane Kevlar's Ikonis, Vivian, a powerful rifle.

			Avalon spares Kevlar and they take off her robotic leg with Teno's tracker in it so she can bounty hunt and be free of the Colosseum.

			Fane sneaks around the back of the Church of the Goddess of Coat's pasture to try to find a way to get to where they might be holding any kind of prisoners to search for Vaishali. <small>[His player was absent so this is all he did]</small>

			==== Kranik & Blue ====

			==== Henrietta & Nihlus ====
			As they head toward the Church of Coats, a large pasture area with a big red tent and steeple with a golden crown on top. Their community's great treasure is a pasture with actual animals such as sheep, alpacas, pigs, silk moths. They have textile mills, shearing barber shops, fashion houses, a large barn, a food farm, as well as a residential area and school and as they approach, the guard at the gate tells them at a set of twin faeries have arrived, stating they are messengers from the Goddess.

			The girls go to a spa and meet people from the town, a rival of Henrietta, as well as some children. A small lamb helps polish Nihlus with hoof polish. A rabbit family comes in and the mother mentions to her children that she has to get gussied up because she's been asked to leave and she wants the children to be prepared as well. Nihlus and Henrietta overhear that they have these messengers of the Godess have fancy new rules.

			Once they are finished their salon time, the girls go to the revival happening at the steeple tent. Inside they notice that the usual leaders, Wauiku and Rotorua are missing. Nihlus takes note of a weird pair of pelts, on either side of the tent, and points them out to Henrietta. She immediately recognizes them as the skins of the the former leaders of the church. As they are about to leave, the messengers, these faerie twins called Christchurch and Auckland, call Henrietta up and tell her that she has been called to go speak to the Goddess. She is to go to the barn, go up to the loft and pray to hear the goddess' voice. She doesn't fight and heads out the back of the church and into the pasture, heading up to hear from her deity.

			In a panic at this development, Nihlus runs out and heads to the main gate, hoping that she will be able catch up Blue and Kranik and is very thankfully to find them already at the gate, having just given over their weapons to the gate keeper so they could enter the Church grounds, but they threaten the gate keeper to get their weapons back and hurry to go save Henrietta from whatever lays in wait in the barn.

			Nearly at the barn, Henrietta pauses as she hears Kranik calling her name. She waits for the others to catch up with her so they can go together. As they enter, there is a sharp metallic smell as they enter and Kranik tells her that he believes this is likely some kind of slaughterhouse. She heads up to the loft and sees in front of her a pillow meant for kneeling in prayer that sits in the light of a window where one could feel the Goddess' light and hear her voice. Blue and Nihlus, as they step up to the loft with her, hear a soft comforting voice tell them to come and kneel. Henrietta mourns that she cannot hear the voice and wants to know what she did and why she can't hear it. She decides to not kneel.

			The same angora rabbit faun mother who they met in the salon approaches, also meant to approach and hear the goddess' voice. The party begs her not to do so and Henrietta pleads with her not to leave her children behind, as her mother left her, and that being culled from the flock is not worth scarring her children for life. The mother rabbit hears out Henrietta and heads back to take her children back with the cover of the crew of the Errar going to cause trouble with the messengers.

			Before they leave, Nihlus inspects the pillow as well as the window meant for praying to the Goddess and discovers a trap that when one would kneel on the pillow to pray, they would be bled out and then the pillow drops to become a chute to an area below the barn, where the smell of blood and gore is much stronger.

	As Henrietta and Blue join their crew at the Chuck's of Oakist, Fane, Kranik and Nihlus witness a ring match between Biloxi (an orc pulled right out of a bizarre adventure), the Vega 5000 (a huge mech styled after casino games that no one knows the driver of), and a small strange electric folk called The Pinball Wizard, who handily wins the exhibition.		As Henrietta and Blue join their crew at the Chuck's of Oakist, Fane, Kranik and Nihlus witness a ring match between Biloxi (an orc pulled right out of a bizarre adventure), the Vega 5000 (a huge mech styled after casino games that no one knows the driver of), and a small strange electric folk called The Pinball Wizard, who handily wins the exhibition. Pinball Wizard recognizes Fane and is excited to befriend him, offering everyone a turn at his gacuphon pet, RNJesus.

	Kranik, excited at the idea of joining such a show of violence, eagerly seeks out what looks like a very rich woman who is enjoying herself in a private box with docile remnant hounds with white coats dotted with black spots. She introduces herself as Barcelona. He asks her to be his sponsor for the next bout and she agrees, but warns that if he loses, he'll be in her debt 1000 quantum. With every confidence, Kranik signs on to the deal and then takes the stage against Frog from Shell and King Arthur Jr. The battle is quick, but Kranik is fearless and takes out the Frog from Shell in a relentless rage before the opponent can get a single swing in. When he finally turns to King Arthur Jr, he takes several harsh blows, but in the end defeats the half remnant Simiah before he loses his stamina.

When he finally turns to King Arthur Jr, he takes several harsh blows, but in the end defeats the half remnant Simiah before he loses his stamina. He wins Barcelona over a million quantam with her underdog sponsorship and a hefty cut for himself and Nihlus who had a bet placed on him.

			While the fight is happening, Fane wanders into a hallway to get away from the large audience and finds himself face to face with a katari in beautiful garb who asks if he would like to play a game. Fane recognizes the power of this visitor from the previous one he met in the Discipline, so he immediately goes on the offensive. Finding his new best friend Fane in the hallway in a fight, the Pinball Wizard joins the fight and they easily destroy the false visitor who becomes an empty vessel like the one before.
	While the fight is happening, Fane wanders into a hall.

			After Kranik's win, Barcelona offers him whatever he wants and even entry to the lowest level, with invitations provided by the Madame of the Chuck's Oakist Brothel, Milan. Blue curiously takes one of the invitations and happily heads downstairs. Pinball Wizard and Fane follow. Kranik and Henrietta head upstairs to go relax and help Kranik recover with all the stimulants, health and stamina potions he needs. Down in the brothel, Blue learns about intercourse and its pleasures from a fellow fungril, Prague, in a verbal lesson. Pinball Wizard disappears victoriously into a backroom with Reno, declaring on his way 'New High Score' and Fane learns from a beautiful woman called Lima that people aren't stopping down in the brothels as much anymore because someone is giving them all money and teaching them to gamble well on the casino floor. Usually the frequent visitors work in a cycle where they go and win money, come downstairs for a visit and when their money is spent, head back up to win more, but something is keeping those people upstairs now, hence why so many of the brothel workers are just lounging around.

			Heading upstairs to do more investigation, Nihlus and Fane discover that until Fane and PBW had knocked out the Visitor, he had been going by the name Macao and giving people on the casino floor a thousand quantum and how to gamble it to win the most. These same people when there senses returned to them found that all their money had been drained from their quantum discs.

			Deciding they should sleep on this information, Fane goes to have a nice dinner, while the others finish their evening activities and then go to bed.

They check in with Sarnath, an Avian who keeps guard of Sravasti's quarters and allows only Fane in first to see the Visitor and the Father.
 When he goes in, Fane immediately has his mind taken over by the Visitor, a faun-like entity called Mara, who's very presence pushes into Fane's memories and cuts off his memory of his mission to save Motherboard and any connection to motherboard at all. He is told to bring his friends into see the visitor as well. He does so, attempting to bring Nilhus and Kranik inside, but first they question him about Mother and their mission and he answers that he wants to stay in the monastery and doesn't know of any Mother. Kranik hits Fane on the head and this brings him back around, making him realize what happened and so prepared, the three of them head inside to go face down this visitor.

He finds them easily in the stadium and they introduce themselves.

			Under the arena, Kranik has a face to face conversation with his mother, London, for the first time since his arrest. She reveals that she had been hoping to keep him from this exact fate, the fate of his own father and in an effort to do so, had actually been the person to turn Kranik over to the government of KIM so he would go to Argent Correctional and not have to die in the arena-- and yet here they were. London begs him for one more thing, to lay down his weapon and refuse to give Teno the fight and show he wants to give the people by making an example out of the former rebellion leader. Kranik trusts that he will live and he will not be alone in the arena.

			Teno comes down under the arena to taunt Kranik and provide him with his armor from his days as Gibraltar and when he mentions that Genoa will be going first to face four leopards, Kranik tries to save her by suggesting just 2 leopards to the one person. Taking this suggesting, Teno decides not to change the number of leopards but rather add a second fighter to the opening fight: London. Teno presents London with her ikonis, which was taken away from her long ago when she was forced into the Mothers of the Future program, along with her name-- Avalon.

			As the first fight begins, the four leopards start on the Western gate of the colosseum while Genoa and London enter from the East. While they approach one another, the crew of the Errar and their new friend Mensa break into two teams, heading to the two generators for the colosseum that are disguised as quite large anvils. Mensa and Henrietta use a bomb to blow the generator, causing the gate on that side to immediately open and '''THE MONSTER''' makes an early debut. A 20 foot abomination created from many remnants, riling in pain and agony from the fusion as well as a dosed amount of the Remnant's Fury, it begins to push in towards the leopards and two women on the other side.

			On the other side of the stadium, Nihlus and Blue work together to overload the Eastern generator, now in a panic to release Kranik so he can help and save the two women. Fane uses a rope to lower himself down into the arena as Kranik races him to get to the women, but they are too late to save Genoa as she is slain by a pair of leopards. London just barely holds her own with her ikonis, Guinevere, a long, thin sword.

			Mensa shifts into a fox remnant form as he jumps down into the arena, leaving Henrietta to escape and go to get the Errar to prepare it to leave as soon as the others escape. He is caught though in the tendrils of the Monster and it holds him tightly. Kranik and Fane hurry to help Mensa while Blue and Nihlus stay with London, trusting her to lead them back through the underground of the arena.

			The moment Mensa is freed, Blue stuns the Monster and they run for their lives in the tunnel below the arena, following London's navigation until they hear a loud crash behind them of the beast crashing down into the tunnel behind them. Mensa changes into a horse and Nihlus and London jump onto his back to speed ahead when a trio of gladiators attempt to stand in their way. Now barricaded between The Monster and these gladiators, Fane and Kranik do everything they can to get the fighters out of their way or stay out the way while The Monster attacks but it manages to severely damage Blue as it tries to grab her away from Kranik's hold.

			Blue, seemingly staring death in the face, only can offer what she knows best, her belief in Motherboard and reaches out to the monstrous remnant to offer it moment of relief from the Fury and the agony it's facing and in her faith, it works.

			During that moment of peace, Nihlus takes the opportunity to set up a bomb with the fuel used to arm the Monster's deadly photon laser and get a remote detonation created so that she can set it off once she seems the others are safe before getting back on Mensa and heading for the escape at last, but not without one last blast from the Photon laser damaging Mensa and London.

			The bomb goes off once Kranik, Blue and Fane are outside the range of it and a whole section of the colosseum crashes down on the Monster, taking a few casualties of spectators with it.

			As they ready to head back out into the Tall Grass to find their bounty, they watch as the Warrior of the Machine Spirit, Kanto, heads out to fight the Guardian of Ossuary, the Medusa. Before going back in they also stop at the local shops to get potions and supplies, meeting Lumiose, a human in a Katari suit, and Jubilife, a small katari with a jetpack he built himself.
	Placeholder: The crew finds their bounty, lets him go, gets paid and prepares to save Kranik

			They head to the Southwest and there is bat remnants with a stressful screech and canine, tiger-striped remnants with a vicious bite, who stand their way before they can get to Athens.

			When they find the little hut where Athens had holed himself up, he comes willingly, just begging for relief from the dangerous place he put himself in. He turns over the stolen disks as well as his augmented arm, asking for mercy because he took a bad job and an escort out of the Tall Grass. The Crew of the Errar chooses mercy and does as requested, heading out of the Tall Grass, though noticing before they leave that it seems the fight between the Medusa and warrior has taken a hiatus or ended and it seemed the Medusa may have come up victorious.

			The crew says goodbye to the remnants they befriended, MarkyMark and Ribbons, and promise to come back one day. They return to the Errar and set a course for Resupply.

			They spend their last day before Kranik's arena battle against '''THE MONSTER''', preparing for their own contributions. They turn in the arm and stolen discs to Babylon who only pays them half as she knows her client wants the body of the thief. She offers them two new bounties and they take one: ''Sonrise is sponsoring the capture of the crew of the Bl00p3r because they've been giving fake filtration relics back to Sonrise after capture sharks''.

			They gain some potions for the big fight and then take one more rest as they return again to Southern Caskin.
