Hook

[Intro COTSS] Whispers in the Sand 1

Plot Synopsis

Each being in Abydos for a different reason, the party started in different places after some time had passed since they accepted the listing. Ricky gets drunk at a bar, with Idris and Bryan watching from afar. Jimbo (temporary name) and Mavi find themselves in the library. Jinx (in disguise Tsukisuki) is putting on street performances in the city square. Finally, Fara sits on a tree, spacing out, while the Wardkeeper watches from a distance. After picking up the stones associated with the listing, each member slowly got pings in their mind, seemingly pointing them to the rest of the party. The party convenes slightly offshoot from the initial bar and decides to follow a mysterious 9th ping toward the city gates. Upon reaching a dark alleyway, the party meets a giant cloaked figure named Nox, who has identified himself as their guide on this mission. They are directed to the Aitahraq Desert, but are stopped when attempting to exit the city gates by two guards. Jimbo manages to extract a memory from the guard and learns that there is a higher power wanting to find something in the desert and trying to prevent others from investigating further. After back-and-forth banter, Nox asserts his authority, and the party is able to venture into the desert safely.
