The Belligerents #30

The Belligerents stared down Traxxus, and he dared the group to contest his killing of Arakis. The group decided the middle of Heron's Harbor was not the appropriate place to have a fight, so Raithe instead cast a preservation spell to keep Arakis's body from releasing its soul completely

• A frog kindred without a clear name approached the group from Traxxus's entourage and, with Doba's help, calmed the group down and offered to help make things right.

• Traxxus left, considering his work finished, and the group retreated back to the boat, though Dahlia was furious they didn't attack the bear kindred.

Back at the Gravy Trained, the group met back up with Vainya who was immediately on board with using the cover of night to go after Traxxus.

Raithe cast the Revivify spell, bringing Arakis back from the beyond, and the amalgamation was immediately back in the headspace of contesting the throne of the Kindred Isle, perhaps even more vehemently than before.

With everyone gathered, Phira revealed that she'd made a deal with the girls' grandmother to get them to a tower in the middle of the Kindred Isle, a tower which had recently appeared, and there was a woman there by the name of Jezria who was meant to test Dahlia and Lily.

• Dahlia decided the outlet of her violence would instead be Jezria

The group, along with their new frog companion, decided they would head towards the tower to deliver the girls, but would campaign for Arakis along the way. 

The next morning, the Belligerents set out to convince Heron's Harbor and beyond of Arakis's right to rule.
