Hook

A Crimson Aerie 4

Plot Synopsis

The crew finds their way to the Hawksnest Market, where they search for Nim Meeseh. Meeseh is a Kasha who controls a smuggling operation running between Ruefang and Ley'Ork called the Black Crescent. They decide to win his attention in gladiatorial combat, which they win very easily (level like half of the arena lol) before being plunged into a psuedohydra pit. They slay the hydra (in one hit, I hate assassin table rolls) and find audience with Meeseh. Meeseh agrees to help them under similar conditions to Jikai, but also adds on that he wants to circulate his miracle drug Tahlin via Monster Energy Drinks created by Null Corp. These Monsters will be called Nasty Beast, and will feature a yellow dragon eye like Meeseh's (real flavor, look it up). More information about Tahlin later. After making this deal, they leave and spend the rest of the early morning at an inn in a small fishing town. Here, they are confronted by the Kasha with a kill switch. He threatens to blow up the town if they try to attack him while he is there. They listen to what he has to say, then he lets go of the kill switch anyways. Damien is able to scoop up all of the bombs and take them out of town, however, they all detonate into a swarm of red birds rather than an actual explosion, and the inn they were in a moment ago detonates for real. Powder is able to get a shot with her cannon off on the Kasha with an assassin table roll (I HATE assassin table rolls) and damages the Kasha's neck. The mask also breaks and they are able to catch a glimpse of his face.
