Return to the Mansion | Roll for Initiative - Episode 25
18Support the stream: https://streamlabs.com/KagatoTheFinalBoss The party finally gets an opportunity to relax as they awake aboard the Tidebringer, safe and sound with Kayli rescued. Still, they had a job to do as they needed to return the Goblins to the Goblin village hidden off to the west of Aquarine.
Still, along the way, the party got to know the Pirates just a little bit more. Skylert got to know Thornik a bit, making requests to fix and strengthen his original weapon. Bell and Ren got to meet a very angry Vhyx as she learned of Ren's relationship with her sister, resulting in a few goblin missiles to his face. Anoran managed to ask Nehiri out on a date for the evening, stargazing over sweets. Chase met with Vhyx as well after her explosive assault and talked shop with her, learning that she, too, was working on an automaton crudely modeled after Ryudo, but wanted his help in getting it to work. Evelyn mostly slept the day away.
Speaking of Ryudo, he and Kayli were finally reunited, though the romantic relationship was cut short when he disturbed the calm, relaxing morning of the ship, once again invoking Vhyx and Ren's wrath as a result. And on top of that, Reginald arrived once summoned by Anoran!
The party, now decked out with some new gear and items, and the pirates themselves, now decked out with magical squeaking Ryudo-shaped punching bags, all ended up having a very satisfying rest of the evening. Though Reginald still wasn't done as he had some fortune telling to share.
With what he told multiple members of the party, it was revealed that their future was going to lead them to wintervale where 2 Gates await them, as well as an old foe of Skylert's. Bell's long lost friend was also trapped there in need of help, though the kind of help was left a mystery, and Evelyn learns of a ball in Zidoria that the Rose Thorn family was attending, which gave Kayli an idea.
Upon arriving to the Goblin village, the party went off to the campsite in private for Kayli to discuss her plans for using the Ball to hopefully lure Jaymas to her, take her mind reading potion, and learn where her parents are. It was a rocky and emotional conversation, but it appeared as though everyone was willing to help and only if Kayli accepted their help and not to go it alone.
During a few moments of emotional exchanges, Anoran's other self made herself known, trying to calm Kayli down where Anoran had failed. It was then that they were discovered by Rhyxie of all people, calling Anoran out on his transformation, though Anoran seemingly has no memory of any of this. Still, they jokingly reunited where Anoran commented about Rhyxie not looking pregnant at all after her night with Ren some time before, though she reveals that she was unable to have kids anymore, for reasons she quickly skipped over behind a forced smile.
With the Goblins safely delivered, the party and the pirates decide on what to do next. With the Ball a month away, they decide to use that time to go to Wintervale to close the gates Reginald had revealed to them, though they still had unfinished business, needing money after talking to Reginald, so they decide to make their way to the Wizard's mansion once more to open the final chest they skipped as well as possibly explore the caverns below for more. But who can say for sure what awaits them in the depths.
