It was like on like da 23rd of Kythorn, 1502 DR
We got to da Shinin' Falls cause dis woman named Mara Shimon lost her wifey in a big ol' house, so she brought us to dis big rock called da Rock of Brawl way out in da sky. Dere was dis big ol' tavern we got to call'd da 'appy Beholda. I got dere wif Me! My ol' pal Forvist! And my three new buddies Arlis! Kyani! And Snap! We found da Mara dere and she seem'd a bit sad an all. She said she was on some littl' orb talking to da wifey and den it cut out, and she's finkin' its cause of dis 'Tempest Brigade' people who made a blockade around da royal planet. I fink she's royalty? But I ain't so sure 'bout dat. Da bar had dis big round guy wif a bunch o' eyes and I tink he was tryin' to kill me or so Forvist said but I don't fink he'd lye to me so it's problably fine. Jade, da wifey, was at some castle tingy and we hopped on a little ship that took us dere. We had a little issue wif da' magic fire ball tingy but den da tiefling figured it out and it was all good. Da space shippies didn' like us bein' dere at first and den day did so dey and were cheerin' and stuff cause I don' fink dey like da planet. I breved some of my ice on da front of da ship and it made a lot of steam and stuff so we didn' burn up. We end'd up landin' pretty well I fink.
Right in front of da palace, we ran up da stairs pretty fast! But den dere were a bunch of guards but dey weren' evil guard or nofin', dey were da Marajohni people we were meant to help out! Dey took us into da palace and showed us to da thrown room but it was supa confusin' to get dere. Forvist say'd somfin' about a dragon cult tha' I've gotta ask about later. We got to da room and talk'd to da queen and she didn' really see to trus' us but we talk'd about da 'burger' and da beholda' and she seem'd to be interest'd in dat. Tellin' us 'bout da problems dat were happenin', we were asked to help wif a little group of baddies messin' about the capital so of course we help'd out.
Gettin' to da little centa area, I figure'd I'd hide as a statu in da fountain in dis little zone, and wif da help of Snap, I got it done pretty good! Forvist went up to one of da rooves, and we got all ready for a ambush! Afta' a bunch of jumpin' round and Chryslis doing a real good job, we got dere main guy, Lt. Bobo. We ask'd him some questions and he told us abou' Major Nemisys and where he was and dat it was too late to stop da work of da 'Void'. Dere was also a lot of otha' stuff but I couldn' remember it all, something about Clerics who work'd with da void to destroy everytin' or da like. We went back to da Queen to tell her abou' all da importan' bits and she say'd dat the show dat dey were doin' was still gonna happen cause it would be a good spot for Anotha' ambush! So many ambushes today this is a very good day!
We dressed up in some pretty outfits and stuff for the stage and den wen da Major show'd up we were able to start fightin' dem wen dey weren' 'specting it an' all! Dere was a bunch of people dat show'd up, but we just start'd attackin' dis group a lot! I miss'd I fink eight times in a row bu' Chrys was doin' pretty well. Da whole team swept upt da guards and da Major! Afta' dey all wen' down, da blockade left, and all da void evil's wen' up an' away! We finish'd up the ceremony fing and got gift'd some neat little goodies. Dey were all very nice to us I fink even tho Chrys was tryin' to eat people a couple of times. I don' really know how we got dere but it woul' be nice to go again sometime.

23rd of Kythorn, 1502 DR.
Myself (Super Nova), Basar (Frost Eve), Forest (Vistra), Kiani (Angel Wings), and Arless (Kaye Bye).
A certain Mara Simon has requested that we figure out what has happened to her girlfriend, Jade Mimosa. Somehow, they are both from above the skies, where the stars shine. Taking a strange vessel up to a giant star rock, we met with Mara in some sort of tavern lead by a big eyeball man selling burgers. It turns out the place where Jade is from, Mara John, is surrounded by a blockade made of some religious people with weird ideologies titled the Tempest Brigade. We took another strange vessel to that place, passing by the brigade by forming the illusion of a small star rock around us. To note that the Mara Johnny people are extremely peaceful and have no known enemies. Rather, this Tempest Brigade wished to erase their culture, in part as a sacrifice to "The Void", and in part because they didn't like them, for some odd reason.
Once there, we entered the main palace of the place and Forest explained to some Mara Johnny guards that we are to help, and we were lead further to meet with the Queen. After some more convincing that we do know Mara Simon, she revealed that Jade was captured by the brigade, making the operation a little more difficult. We were tasked with ambushing a patrol of the Tempest people in the town square, which was quite successful. Keeping their patrol leader alive, we asked him some questions regarding the brigade, which was quite successful, before Forest violently stabbed him in the head with a rapier.
The leader revealed they would soon attack the Mara John palace. Since there was an important cultural event happening soon and the brigade's wish was to erase their culture, it would be an opportune time to attack. Thus, we all rushed there. To blend in and perform a second ambush, the Queen asked if we may participate in the ceremony, to which we all dressed quite fashionably and walked along some runway thing. We also had some fake names, noted above. Once the Queen caught a spy in her eye, she tossed one of her shoes right at him, knocking him right out, and we swept the floor with the remaining ones. Specifically, Arless did a great number on all of them, though we all did quite well.
Following our two tactical takedowns, the brigade feared the Mara Johnny people were much stronger than they originally anticipated, and they all fled the place, leaving them peacefully. Jade was also released, with Mara quickly coming in to see her girlfriend once more. And most importantly, we were paid with many gifts and a large sum of gold. Finally, before we left, I asked Basar to show me how to do the cold breath thing. I will practice it, in hopes of achieving it myself one day.
Thrilled to have experienced my first mission, as strange as it was,

Location: SPACE!
Did you know there are worlds beyond the stars? So fuckin' cool. We were brought to a place to meet a person who said her girlfriend was missin' or some shit. She was worried about her and wanted us to go check on her. So we went off on a ship to a new place and met the Queen of some Astral Elves. They were real cool. Never met an Astral Elf before, and definitely never met anyone like them before. The Queen told us that the girlfriend is her daughter, so the girlfriend is a princess. She must've been kidnapped by the Tempest Brigade? She asked us to help so we agreed. We ended up encountering the Brigade. A bunch a space clowns... First a damn circus of shitty ass bugbears and now an evil faction of space clowns... Buncha bullshit really.
We took 'em down, but their leader Bobo... ugh... UGH... Creepy-ass fucker... We got the info we needed.. someone called Major Nemisys was gatherin' all the astral elves to feed to the void via some weird ritual... yeah that was gonna be bad. So we went back to the castle to tell the Queen. Apparently there was gonna be some big celebration and we were asked to dress up and perform to keep from looking suspicious. So most of us did. We all dressed up I think. Got stage names an' everything. And then Nemisys and her lackies came in and attacked. So we attacked back.
We stopped Nemisys, saved the princess, saved the people, and we got rewarded and got to go home.
Also I've never been hit on so much in one place... Or... wore makeup and a dress before... It was an experience aright.
