Episode 173: Transversal: Caravan Chores

The caravan wakes early and departs with unusual speed, everyone eager to resume the northward trek. All seems to be going well as conversations and on the road activities continue. But when a scout returns with a report of someone calling for help in ruins near Jaston, the party steps up to help. Candid conversations are had, cranchur are corralled, and cries for help are answered. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori go delving.

Being on the road again has put the Luminous Procession in higher spirits. There are still repairs to be made but everyone seems to be helping to make sure tasks are completed. Bonds are explored, dreams are interpreted, and nests are engineered. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori settle into caravan life.

The caravan is finally moving again. There are still some repairs to do but the orbs are in good enough shape to at least start rolling again. With the hope that better times are on the road ahead, everyone readily gets moving. Birds are named, daggers are critiqued, and time is lost. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori recover.

After the erynth grask fight, the luminous procession is very ready to get moving once again. Unfortunately, repairs to the orbs and recuperation take precedence. Meditation relives answers, sleep solutions are studied, and training regimens are developed. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori recover.

The encounter with the erynth grask continues. Between the debris being hurled through the air and keeping the caravan from devolving into chaos, everyone has their hands full trying to keep the upper hand in the situation. Precise attacks are made, the procession is looked after, and a carcass is scavenged. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori keep on fighting.

A frankly unsettling creature has burrowed up in the middle of the caravan. It’s going to take quick action and creative combat to take care of this situation.

The Luminous Procession has officially started the trek to the next stop on their route, Jaston. Everyone is hopeful for a smooth trip, and so far that wish seems to be coming true. But as we all know, there’s always chaos waiting over the next hill. Names are collected, dream states are reached, and Brehm are uneasy. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori find out what’s waiting on the horizon.

Although it seems like nothing is being purposefully kept from them, the information the party has doesn’t seem to be what they’re looking for. In an attempt to find more specific answers, they each branch off to do their own versions of data collection. Fanatic followers are interviewed, datasphere depths are plumbed, and higher knowledge is sought. Join us as Nehemiah, Smalren, and Jhori search for better answers.

** With the caravan stopped for a longer period than planned, everyone uses the opportunity to take stock of their situation. The Luminous Procession  leaders have given the group permission to rejoin with the rest of the caravan but even still, keep distance seems to be the better idea at least for today. As a new dawn breaks though, it’s time to saddle up and get back to their duties. Recipes are created, feelings are explored, and contingencies are considered. Join us and Nehemiah, Smalren and Jhori Get on the road again.  Music and SFX Credits: Intro - “Whispers of the Ancients” by Justin Longacre (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb91nye1bAWGc70VQevM5cA) “Clean Soul” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 ](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) “Goblin Tinker Soldier Spy” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Magic Escape Room” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Bittersweet” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Enter the Maze” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Adding the Sun” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Lasting Hope” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Thinking Music” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Comfortable Mystery” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Pale Rider” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Hypnothis” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Private Reflection” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 “Mystic Force” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Outro - “The Monolith Speaks” by Justin Longacre  (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb91nye1bAWGc70VQevM5cA) **

The leaders of the Luminous Procession have come to talk. As it turns out, Nehemiah’s situation has been caused by a perfect storm of seemingly unconnected events. And now with the details of the entire circumstance on the table, it puts everyone in a tough position without a clear option on how to proceed.
