Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap
Ikuze led the way the pirates had indicated before they reached Caitlin. "Baroness, may I present to you quite possibly the only person in this entire drat place with a brain and a soul, Mister Duncan. Who apparently did such a good job reading out of this handy dandy Ca'allan instruction manual that the big boss here poisoned him so nobody else could use it." she said. "Oh and bonus. We got a pair of prophetic daggers for the one true king of the Green Stags, and this Codex has a ton of coded maps that could maybe lead to wherever Rava's kids being held at by the womb-slitting locals, who's big boss at the moment seems to have pissed off with his tail between his legs from the look of things."
As Rava came out of the inner fort with Duncan on her back she could see only death , 40 honorary guard bandit as well as the onse who remained who did not went with the masked man where all now lifeless bodies , Rava for the 1st time felt sick that all this happened because of her , that the bandits did this since she was no longer needed and throw out like trash , expected to be killed by these pirates as if it was their way of mercy. But fate changes on the flip of a coin or a roll of a dice , Rava came up lucky but at a cost of her past . She made her way over to Queen and remind quiet .
Duncan was not feeling any better as he wanted to rest his eyes , as also seen the death , he began to ask himself where will the wind blow next ? This old bandit was tired of seeing death , he just wanted to look after the gold he had stolen in his life time when be took over as keeper of the vault , but at lest if he was going out he had the little girl he used to follow around now carrying him maybe to a place that is safe or a suitable grave ... He was tired and wanted to rest

Caitlin listened to all of it, her face a blank slate. Rava hoisted the old man as Ikuze gave them the run down. Finally, after starring at the trio for a beat, she wiped the blood from her face and spat on the ground.
"Worthless," Cait decided, her eyes now on the prophetic daggers. "Green Stag Beetle King? There's no such thing." Her voice was stern, dripping with dispisal. The maps and Codex might be of use, if only for the sake of returning to Rava what was taken from her body. After that....
"Everyone back on board. We'll give Duncan to the Fulke medics, let them see if they can do anything about that pesky posion." That was it.
She turned and led the way back to the ropes. Not everyone who came off the boat would be returning to it of their own free will. The dead would have to be carried back up - most of which was done by the winged anders.
Far fewer of theirs fell though by comparison. The Brotherhood of Rogues victory was a landslide. As it should be.
"Oh and Rava...." Caitlin glanced over her shoulder, for just a second more. "Welcome to the brotherhood."
Their trials weren't usually this messy, or costly, but when it came to facing down her opposition - the Queen would always go all in, and make sure it was they who came back out.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava stayed silent as Duncan was taken from her back and Caitlin welcomed her to the BOR, however this day was the worst it could have been as she followed Caitlin like a wounded cat. As now she only had friends from them now.
The esat island of ca a'lla was in ruins after then events of the day , the villages who had been locked away in the fort had now been burnt to death from the fires of the battle with no people making it out alive. The pirates who ikuze sent had came back with as much gold they could carry , informing Caitln the vast treasures inside the big vaults in the fort. The town of downfall , the city near the fort was empty and ruined as snow covered it body slowly and soon to be another ruin of the old ways.
Duncan was brought to the medics however the posien had already taken its toll on his body as he began to cough up blood knowing his death would come soon , he took paper to his book and wote out a decoder for the codex as well as letter for caitln which read as such
" to the person who freed me and saved Rava . I thank you for all you have done , but my time is short as the poison has finally over took me. I have lived my life as a bandit guard , I have walked the halls of every fort and every street , I have killed and pillaged and plundered more then the worlds gold and I have walked at rava's side for most of her life until a year before when I became a keeper. I have watched her grow and kept her safe ,even during her time she started to be queen which was short. I ask all one wish , keep Rava safe , her mother own words before she died in my arms. I wish Rava not the same fate of the curse of beetles , and I wish her not the fate of the queens before her . Let her have mercy , let her live a free life and a happy life , regardless of how short or long it maybe. And free her of the fate she was given From your true Duncan "
Duncan lasted till midnight and his remains where berried as sea.
Axis made her way from the mountains to the town and fort to find no one from her village had not be saved , she was not alone , she vowed revenge on Rava and on the BOR for the death of all East island ca a'lla as they where eviler then the green bandits. It would be a long travel back to lodan but one to remove the evil.
