Stretching Their Legs - Story Arcs
From 9-6-338 SKR to 28-2-342 SKR
This Era came after the Phoenix Era when the adventurers starting to explore on their own.
The story arcs that made up this Era included:
the Favor Stories
- Skull Church for the Order of Brotherhood
- Elementary for the Administrative Council of Loosend in return for training
- Flower Power for Valoris Onod Ancien
- Six Griffons Lodge overnight adventure part of the Rivers Bend Stories
- Pirate Queens for the Temple of Air and Light
- Witch Hunters for Gold Hills temple in return for training for Koorin
This Era was the first time that the Players visited the two largest cities in the Small Kingdoms. Adventures in Loosend and Rivers Bend brought urban interactions to the table. At the end of these stories the group rushed off into the new Blood Trail Era.

Feed Back & Recollections
As I am wont to do all the story arcs in this Era have some sort of play on the theme of the name. The first story dealt with flying ships, the second story dealt with Yuan-Ti and other cold blooded races. I also used the other meaning of the phrase and the adventurers traveled to new places and met new cultures. During this story arc the group traveled from one corner of the adventuring area to the other. It gave the players a chance to expand their resources and contacts and for me to show off a few of the details I had previously created.
