Weatherlight Saga - Tempest
 | As the Weatherlight enters Rath, they are immediately attacked by Volrath's flagship, the Predator. Gerrard orders the crew to prepare to defend the ship. |
 | Karn is invulnerable to the subrace of goblins called moggs. He is quickly recognized as a Legacy artifact by the moggs and attacked. |
 | The silver golem, Karn lashes out at the moggs and they die instantly. Karn is struck with pacifism as he remembers killing an innocent bystander. He offers no resistence as the moggs carry him to the Predator. |
 | As the moggs go through the Weatherlight they find pieces of the Legacy, and take it back to the Predator. |
 | Squee cowers deep inside the Weatherlight as he hold's his "toy" he found a few days ago. He doesn't know why it's so squishy or warm, but he's hr, Volrath goes to his torture chambers where Tahngartha and Karn are being kept. |
 | Commander Greven il-Vec starts a bloodbath and human and mogg blood flies from the Weatherlight and Predator as the crews fight. Greven and Tahngarth stand as landmarks representing their group.
|
 | Greven and Gerrard meet and prepare to duel. Greven's artifical spine gives him extra strength, while Gerrard's skill in the Benalish army gives him extra agility. |
 | Greven cuts Gerrard's lipa sign of his likely victory. |
 | Greven il-Vec's second in command, Vhati il-Dal gives the order to fire on the Weatherlight to accomplish two goals: destroying Gerrard and the Legacy, and his own secret goal: kill Greven to become commander. The mogg cannons fire away! |
 | The Weatherlight capsizes from the blast of the mogg cannons. |
 | As Gerrard and Greven were fighting, the blast interrupts and blows Gerrard off the deck of the Weatherlight. Greven, however, starts to go back to the Predator. He's accomplished his goals: Gerrard is surely dead and the Legacy is theirs. |
 | Hanna tries to grab Gerrard as he plummets towards the forest. She abandons her hopes of getting Gerrard, as his hopes of being saved are surely futile.
|
 | Tahnarth can't let Gerrard take the Legacy so easily. As the Predator starts to fly away from the damaged Weatherlight, Tahngarth jumps onto one of the loose cables of the Predator. His rage builds as he remembers Karn being taken by the moggs and Gerrard plummeting below. |
 | Commander Greven il-Vec rushes ahead of the moggs to Vhati il-Dal. "Sir, I just thought...," explains Vhati. "Don't think," interrupted Greven. "It doesn't suit you". "The cannon wasn't aimed at you!" pleaded Vhati. "I'm not sure which is more pathetic," replied Greven, "your judgement or your aim." |
 | Greven lifts Vhati off his feet. "The fall will give you time to think on your failure", Greven says as he tosses Vhati overboard. |
 | Gerrard plummets towards the forest called Skyshroud. The dark angel, Selenia, grabs on to him. He strangles feriously. A bolt of lightning stabs Selenia and she loses her grip. Gerrard falls through the trees, where Selenia cannot get through. She flies back to the Predator. |
 | Gerrard hits the ground with a thwack. He is dazed, but alive. |
 | Just as he gets up he is attacked by ugly merfolk from below Skyshroud, called Rootwater. These Rootwater merfolk look so ugly, it almost appears like a orc/merfolk hybrid. All of the sudden a rootbreaker wurm appears and scoops up the merfolk in seconds. Gerrard runs away as fast as he can. |
 | As Gerrard grows tired of running he meets a group of humans called Vec. Their Oracle tells Gerrard she has the gift of proficy, and tells her fellow Vecs the Korvecdal has arrived, and the humans cheer. Gerrard is puzzled by this. |
 | The en-Vec help Gerrard and explain how Gerrard will unite the Vec, along with the other two human groups: the Dal and Kor. |
 | Aboard the Predator, Karn and Tahngarth are hiding. The moggs quickly discover them and they are forced to fightbut alas, Karn will not. |
 | Tahngarth and Greven il-Vec discover each other and fight. Greven wins the fight and knocks Tahngarth unconsious. Greven thinks Tahngarth will make an excellent first mateonce the proper inplants are put in. |
 | Crovax saw Selenia in the fight between the Weatherlight and the Predator. Selenia used to guard his family in Urborg, but disappeared, and then Crovax realized the shocking truth: Selenia now works for Volrath. Crovax is determined to meet Selenia, no matter what gets in his way. |
 | The Rathi elves release their warhounds to sniff out the ship that landed in their forest. Little does the crew of the Weatherlight know of these elves, as they count their losses in crew and cargo. |
 | Hanna and Mirri are away from the Weatherlight, both looking for Gerrard. Mirri does it out of loyalty, while Hanna does it for love. Everything is fine until... |
 | ...they encounter a shapeshifter (Rath's full of 'em). The shapeshifter tries to take both Mirri's and Hanna's form at once and turns into something horrid. The shapeshifter attacks and Mirri defends Hanna, but the shapeshifter does damage. |
 | Hanna pulls out her sword and defeats the horrific shapeshifter. Mirri now trusts Hanna, as much as Gerrard. |
 | Hanna and Mirri find a spring and drink from it. It gives them the energy they needto fight off the attacking Rathi elves. |
 | The Skyshroud elves fight Mirri and Hanna. Just in time for Gerrard to walk by, along with the en-Vec. |
 | Eladamri, the lord of the leaves, and master of the Rathi elves comes by. |
 | Gerrard tells Eladamri that he wants to destroy Volrath. Eladamri tells Gerrard how he just ordered an attack on a foreign ship that landed. Hysterically, Gerrard tells him that's his ship. Eladamri immediately orders the attack to be aborted, but it may be too late for the Weatherlight... |
 | ...and maybe not. The elves were notified of the cancellationluckily for the Weatherlight, just in time. |
 | Gerrard, Starke, and Eladamri plan the invasion of Volrath's Stronghold. They will get back-up from the en-Vec, en-Dal, and en-Kor. |
 | Starke realizes that the Oracle en-Vec knows him and then it hits himshe knows he's il-Vec. If she tells anyone, he thinks, his whole plan will be ruined. He gets a dagger and prepares to kill her. The Oracle talks with him, and buys enough time for the guards to show. Starke walks away, regretting his mistake of not killing the Oracle. |
 | Meanwhile, at Volrath's Stronghold...Volrath is looking through the Legacy artifacts. He searches for the Thran Tome and scans the pages eagerly. He then asks Greven il-Vec what was Gerrard wearing. Gerrard says he doesn't know, and Volrath tells him to plan for an immediate invasion. |
 | When Greven tells Volrath how Gerrard was not captured, Volrath gets very angry. He makes Greven's artificial spine grow white hot. Greven screams with agony. |
 | The evincar, Volrath goes to his torture chambers where Tahngartha and Karn are being kept. |
 | Tahngarth lunges at Volrath as soon as possible, trying to kill the evincar. Unfortuneately, Volrath is very powerful, and bats Tahngarth unconcious. |
 | Volrath goes towards Karn's cage, and tells Karn of what a failure he is. |
 | Back at the portal...Ertai realizes he is not alone. In the corner of his eyes he sees a creature. Then it shows herself. She says her name is Lyna, of the Soltari. |
 | Lyna shifts Ertai in her dimension where the shadows live. Ertai is very angry. |
 | Ertai has a few tricks up his own sleeves. Using his Tolarian magic, he zaps Lyna into the real world. The world of Rath. Lyna tells Ertai that her people, the Soltari, were trapped here many centuries ago, along with their enemies, the Dauthi, and a race that got caught in the middle of the war, the Thalakos. Ertai tells Lyna she is in Rath and his friends are going to destroy the evincar of Rath, Volrath. Lyna starts speaking in cryptic messages, and Ertai suspects something is keeping her from telling him something. |
 | The Weatherlight passes through the cinder marshes of Rath. Unknowingly, the Weatherlight accidentally stumbles upon a nest of slivers. The slivers awake, and attack the Weatherlight. |
 | The Weatherlight crew fights back to back for protection, but it seems no use: the slivers are nearly invincible. Every time a sliver takes a blow, it can heal itself. The crew split up in a desperate atempt at saving the ship from the slivers onslaught. As the slivers split up, they lose each others powers, and the crew defeats the slivers. Their next obstacle, is the burning furnace. |
 | As the Weatherlight passes through the furnace of Rath, the ship is nearly destroyed by the flames... |
 | ...and apparently so is the crew. Gerrard and Crovax witness fellow crew members being burnt to a crisp. Orim, the crew's Samite healer, volunteers to put a lightning rod at the tip of the Weatherlight to avoid further damage. |
 | As Orim attempts to put the lightning rod at the tip of the Weatherlight, the furnace attacks with blinding fury. Luckily, the Weatherlight survives to go further on their trek to Volrath's stronghold. |
 | As the Weatherlight crosses into the Death Pits of Rath, they notice a black ooze that seems to animate the skeletons sproon across the surface. Before the crew can realize it, the skeletons have already climbed onto the Weatherlight. The crew prepares to, once again, fight to save the ship. |
 | Gerrard fights with all his fury to stop the skeleton menace. Gerrard is nearly killed, but Squee activates his "toy", accidentally preventing the fatal damage. The crew defeats the reanimated skeletons, and sails on towards their goal: Volrath's stronghold. |
