06/03/22 • 92 min

Navigating the tangling conspiracies in the desert city of Dustmere, our heroes took a job investigating a robbery at the Archivist’s Guild. After picking through evidence in the stacks, they homed in on a lead – a member of the Guild itself - and chased them to their residents in the cobbled roads and grand estates of the Glitters.

But on arrival, their chaperone from the guild, Ryndell turned on them to seemingly protect or steal evidence and a fiery battle ensued that left the building ablaze. Ryndell fled with a strange teleportation magic, but our heroes were not left empty handed. A note referring being “unconsecrated” and Ryndell’s actions all but confirmed they were right about the robbery.

Wrapping up the case, they returned to their friend Caxaria’s hideout, where they wrestled with what the dukes we're up to, and what this new evidence, a group “unconsecrated”, really meant. Then, there was a knock at the door...

Roll Models: Episode 28 – A Case Up in Flames

With the city of Dustmere in a state of turmoil and Ora in a strange, unwaking sleep, our heroes took up the opportunity to delve into the stacks of the Archivists Guild... but not to read. Well, all but Eugene who got lost in the Alchemy section and discovered an ancient puzzle that ed him to a cube-like artefact.

They had been hired by the guild to investigate a strange robbery of the underground library, a book and a tapestry had been stolen from a locked, uncategorised section, and they were tasked with find out who.

After deducing the title of the missing book, and discovering a snapped key in a lock and a suspicious story, they had their eyes set on an absent member of the guild itself: a dwarf called Gwynn. They set out to find her, starting with her home in the Glitters.

But on arrival, their archivist chaperone, Ryndell turned on them, sprinting through the house to search Gwynn’s desk and rip a note from a pad. Sentinel chased, grabbed the note. It read “Dear friend. I am unconsecrated.” Then Ryndell rose his hands and formed a spell of fire to launch at her...

Roll Models: Episode 30 – Adrift in Dreams & Curses

After twining themselves in the many threads of conspiracy in the desert city of Dustmere, our heroes concluded the theft at the archivists to be an inside job. The only other evidence being a note in which the writer referred to themselves as “becoming unconsecrated”.

In the early hours of the next morning, Ahmaya was awoken by the sending of a familiar Dragonborn Pirate – there was a ship stranded close the Dustmere port... bad things aboard. After tracking down a port contact, our heroes believed it could be one of Duke De Avicco’s – and they had only 12 hours before the sighting would go public.

With the Dawn moon of Juness lighting the shallow roof tops of Dustmere, our heroes set out by carriage to the port. And then by smuggler out to sea. The vessel was huge, smoking, and drifting. They sailed to it through calm water, through dead fish and seagulls...

But Ora was not there. Because for over two days he had been lost in an unwaking sleep... and in that time, he had dreamed...
