| - The session opened with Largo, heavily wounded, standing over his brother's fallen body. The crowd was cheering madly, and Largo suddenly became keenly aware of the immense pain in his arm. Fern jumped out into the arena and followed Largo out the exit, healing him as best she could before they came out for the final ceremony. Dax, meanwhile, had some idea of who Atterum was, and leaped up onto his unoccupied shoulder. Atterum did not act surprised in the slightest, and greeted Dax with a smile. He requested that the Solar meet him in the market district just down from Crazy Eddie's.

| - The session opened with Largo, heavily wounded, standing over his brother's fallen body. The crowd was cheering madly, and Largo suddenly became keenly aware of the immense pain in his arm. Fern jumped out into the arena and followed Largo out the exit, healing him as best she could before they came out for the final ceremony. Dax, meanwhile, had some idea of who Atterum was, and leaped up onto his unoccupied shoulder. Atterum did not act surprised in the slightest, and greeted Dax with a smile. He requested that the Solar meet him in the market district just down from Crazy Eddie's. Largo was brought out again for the ceremony, and as he attuned, the fires of the Gem Coliseum were released in a mile-high pillar of flame. Fern figured out what was going on by examining the geomancy with her Essence sight. The party headed out to the place in the market district Atterum had told them. They were pulled aside by a local man, and they followed him into a tent where Atterum appeared to be staying. He explained his situation to the party. The Black Band, and himself in particular, have been increasingly unpopular due to the efforts of the Lintha. Lintha had been posing as members of the Band and attacking vessels that they shouldn't, antagonizing the Guild as well as various other factions. He suspects the Lintha's actions are based on the Silver Prince's machinations, as he found a ship with many undead flying the Band's colors deep in Lintha territory. His plan was to attack a Lintha outpost he had located under the colors of the Silver Prince, disguised as Lintha to gain entry. This would hopefully both distract the Lintha and set his two largest adversaries against each other. However, he needed friendly Exalts that were capable sailors and were not directly associated with the Black Band, which was a rather short list. Dax, as an Exalt, could pose as a deathknight and confirm the Prince's involvement. As he was clearly operating outside the Band, he would not be identified. Additionally, the help of the other Exalts in the party gave the mission a large chance of success. Hearing of the party's exploits in the Arena, Atterum had been waiting for the Tournament to locate them. Atterum offered information regarding an actual Deathknight in the area as payment, which was another reason why he had wanted Dax. Amber suggested a favor as well, which Atterum readily agreed to, eager to have ties to the party's power. The party told Atterum some tales of their exploits and power and he was most impressed. After a night of rest the party headed out to the Coatl, which Atterum was rather enraptured by. Offering the hearthstone for the base, the party engaged the Dragon Drive and flew out there quickly.
