Students of Life & Death #12

The Students began their first morning after curing the Voice and finishing their first job as Listeners by having Val work on Goldcrest, further fixing the automaton to the second of five degrees.

They traveled west, deciding to fulfill their commitment to the Dawn Chasers to find Executrix Altar, who they knew to be dead due to the Dream Tether. Their plan would be to charter a ship from Trine, sail to the Arrowhead Isles, and recover Altar's body to give back to the Dawn Chasers.

Traveling the the Duskmaker Plains proved uneventful besides an encounter with a group of warrior from Run'Thar who had captured a group of wild horses to be broken in back home. Their leader, Hyde, became friends with the Students and offered them hospitality if they ever found their way to Run'Thar.

The Students left the Run'Tharians as they left toward Trine, and Goldcrest encountered a Warforged, which caused him concern that he sounded and looked different from the Warforged. The group consoled him and promised him that even though he didn't sound like a Warforged, he was every bit a person.

The group arrived in Trine and took a gondola to Denneb's home, where they slept for the night with plans to visit Gwenna's fathers in the morning.
