Gaping Maw of Sound #7

Hiding the Jackal

12/06/2022

  • Neya chased after the child who had jumped into the water, chasing him down with the help of the water powers from her magical helm

    • Meanwhile the rest of the group fought off the piranha mutants attacking the Dawn Chasers, though the knights took heavy casualties

  • After the battle, Executor Aver Gallant told the group in confidence that the child was the spawn of Eve Galdarion, and while it was true he had the Voice, they had captured him in order to help the Dawn Chasers find his siblings, three older sisters somewhere west of Galdarion Forest.

  • The group lied to keep the child hidden and the Dawn Chasers left for Wayward, tasking the Gaping Maw of Sound with finding the child and following after them

    • Due to the heroics of the group, the Dawn Chasers asked Justis to come along with them to join their ranks -- she accepted and, with tears, said goodbye to her companions

  • The group spoke at the child, discovering he was indeed the one they were meant to find and protect, Jackal Cull, however he had a muzzle which prevented him from speaking, magically enchanted to not be removed

  • The goblins of Tree Pass soon made their way back into their city after the battle and the Gaping Maw of Sound retreated into Elfhome Lake, where a Triton from beneath the water pulled Kaos down, vowing to keep him safe from the monstrosity above, ostensibly meaning Jackal.
