This glowing symbol is left in the wake of Caldor's crusade vs Merctown Church of Set
Game starts at the Dragon Ignato's bar in the Magic zone
Drago finds Valen the True Atlantean priest force converted to cyborg and expriest of DRagonwright
Drago keeps trying to figure out how to rescue the elf maident Kireen from Ignatos.
Drago gives Impaler spear evil rune weapon to kireen and gains some of IGnatos's favor
In bar
After paying for his room and checking out of the hotel Drago sees in the bar are an oompaloompa dbee gunslinger and 2 broadkils.
Drago sees the broadkill make crude jokes about eating humans with him. To get even drago orders the broadkill dinner as a false gift, a huge roasted oxen and poisons it with a magic poison item "poison touch". DRago eats another oxen and the broad kill reluctantly try their oxen since it smells so good.
This badly injures and eventually kills one of the broadkil and enrages the other who flees vowing revenge.
Caldor makes some deals with 5i, gives him 80k to hire the booster boys to get his explosives delivered to the temple of set.
Drago gives a purple diamond flawed to 5i for some reason?

The horse says a prerecorded message that exceeeds its own low robotic iq *BEEP BOOP BEEEOOP* "after I save you again from towjam worm, you will upgrade? cyberknight command has authorized usage of whatever assets you have to keep this unit alive and drive off towjam worm in this sector."
Cameron buys Level1 NG AI program from 5i for jumbles.
births a level 1 occ robot PC in the mind of Jumbles.
Jumbles says app store is open to those with cyberknights codecs for any equipment with sufficient cpu within matrix contact of 5i, currently merctown only.
Cyberknight codec = unique code given to each cyberknight they use to identify each other using technology.
Cameron Case's gets a matrix update her cyberknight codec raises from padawan lvl0 to initiate lvl1 after Jumbles is upgraded to AI and confirms her status and achievements to the cyberknight elder council.
caldor hired 4 sets of drones with a ton of explosives to deliver a blow to the church of set and regain the favor of osiris
towjam realizes theyw ill need to smuggle the charges or be caught
caldor did not have a suble plan to get the robots in.
disguised as trashbots the robots deliver charges. a huge swarm of ravens comes and drago fights it destroying many. Caldor prays and osiris plague kills the rest of the ravens.
As the temple falls, a huge swarm of vampires and werewolves rise up out of the damage, they were immune to the physical effects of the fall of the temple!
After chasing the ravens the party splits up, some in dragos group head for the magic zone exits and go up to the arms bazaar. The rest are still stuck in the zone at the 3 sisters druidic ranch which has wards keeping out the vamps and weres.
Drago casts firequake at pursuing vampires and they are able to escape to the arms bazaar with little trouble.
DRago teaches local booster boys about how to fight undead. The bboys are gathering at the arms bazaar after being called by 5i.
4 bboys are backing up 5i,
TBAG the #1 Rap god and leader of the local pack of bboys

ZAMOKS VISION QUEST
Zamok takes a nap and starts dreaming... for a split second. out of the fog of light in the dream a symbol. a black fang, surrounded by a white fang in a dragonic yinyang, symbols of kymnarkmar and styphon, dragon goods of light and darkness the symbols start to spin faster and faster before stopping on black...then white..black slowly alternating, the dream clearly shows light or darkness could happen, finally the yinyang stops spinning and freezes in place in a greycolor, the fangs pointing up and to the left at precisely 45" angle. from this angle grows a set of crystalline structures which are colored white (after the dream Zamok is left with a pattern of unfamiliar crystalline math in his mind, math advanced required to understand more of the crystals meaning)
TOWJAMS VISION QUEST
0 when session starts towjam must save vs hypnotic suggestion from virus infected hardware A if pass has a vision of osiris (sun) smiling down on him goal is to rebuild temple of osiris in magic zone to gain FAVOR OF OSIRIS curse of blindness to towjam worm is lifted realizes the only way is to rid self of infected hardware (need new body, where to find one before kitani virus infection warps his mind?)

CAMERONS VISON QUEST
Lord Coake holds out his hand but it is out of reach as soon as you walk towards him he seems further a way than ever (initially interpreted as lord coake is in danger and being taken far away from the cyberknights never to return. if he isn't saved soon he will be lost for ever. you know it!)
CALDORS VISION QUEST
Sees through wifes eyes, she is in danger from a coalition patrol...
TICKLES VISION QUEST
