 As the campaign opens, the player characters including Oswald are a group of slaves who managed to break free from [[crossbones_island|Slaver's Island]] with the help of an individual named [[blight|Lady Blight]]. Upon the stolen slaver ship, they fought a fire-breathing serpent at sea. While the beast was killed, their ship was aflame. Captain [[Cole Esterol]] swooped in with his ship and saved them in time to watch their ship sink.
-Captain Cole's ship is a trade ship. On the ship, the heroes are joined by [[Harry Holisack]], a blacksmith. They were on their way to the island of [[baguette|Baguette Island]] to retrieve a shipment of sugar. While on the island, a group of former slaves and some of the tradesmen from the ship ventured out to explore the island. They came across a cavern with a large pool in it. A great shark like beast was protecting a [[amulet_of_fate|stopwatch that could halt time]]. This device had only twelve charges to begin with, and two had already been used. This artifact went to [[casey|one of Casey's characters]], which was only used in the final battle.

 After the escaped slaves secured the sugar, they went to [[stromboli|Stromboli Island]] where they traded the sugar for "agavala," which is used to make tequila. They were commissioned to clear a path through the mountains to make a road from Newtown to Oldtown. In the mountains, they met a horde of goblins lead by [[GiggleSnort]]. Together, the escaped slaves cleared the path through the mountain, battling trolls in the process.

 So, the party was on the East side of Fortune Cookie Island and the Slavers garrisoned the West end. The [[seven_emperors|Magocracy Navy]] cut off the slavers retreat from Stromboli, which is why they landed on Fortune Cookie. The slavers took a small city with a wizards tower at the center. At sea, the ships on both sides prepared for an epic naval battle.
-On the sly, the [[seven_emperors|Magocracy Navy]] send a bunch of green recruits to the monastery to train until the potions were done. Prince Bradley was among them and trained under [[john|one of John's characters]]. At some point during that time they killed a dragon on the island and recruited a tribe of Dragonborn.

 They had a demonic visitor that took one character to their patron and foreshadowed psionic brain worms. Then that demonic visitor took an orphan named [[orphan_coliin|Colin]] and disappeared. This orphan later killed [[Grandmaster Gwen]], leader of the [[fortune_cookie_monks|Fortune Cookie Monks]].

 Then, the former slaves marched to war alongside the forces of the [[seven_emperors|Magocracy of the Seven Emperors]].
-In the middle of the island was a rift in the fabric of the material plane that linked to the [[metaphysics#the_feywild|Feywild]]. Within this tear in reality the very air was hallucinogenic. Very silly things happened and the former slaves defeated a psychedelic demi-god. Then they joined forces with an old conjurer lady and her mud men.

-There was a Goliath Sorcerer who was learning the ways of [[fortune_cookie_monks|monks]]. He was too powerful to control, but the Monk PC convinced him to be his student. He was helpful in the battle.

-There were two battlefronts- one at sea and the other on the island. It was a crushing victory on both ends as the [[seven_emperors|Seven Emperors]] themselves (Disco Wizards) came to their aid in airships. In the center of the city  a wizards tower had VIPs on the top floor. As the PCs battled their way there, victory was secured. They had to apprehend whoever was in charge.

 I planned out quite a bit of drama as they ascended this tower... but they all managed to have the ability to fly. So... they skipped all that stuff and went straight to the penthouse where they met [[Mirshum]] himself, a wealthy ambassador from the slaver nations named [[ambassador_craig|Craig]], and his demigod bodyguard named the [[Dark Silent]].
-Diplomacy is how their interaction began. It lasted maybe 30 seconds before violence ensued. [[Casey]] finally used the stopwatch from the beginning for the first time and kicked some serious ass. Before the fight hit a point of no return, diplomacy resumed.

 Craig surrendered and became captive to [[Admiral Nelson]]. Mirshum left through a portal, and the [[Dark Silent]] was thrown out a window.
-Admiral Nelson gave everyone what they wanted, essentially. [[casey|One of Casey's characters]] doubled back to the monastery to try and steal the Mirshum Painting and kill [[Grandmaster Gwen]] for her patron, so that characters ending was pretty ambiguous as to the fate of the [[fortune_cookie_monks|monastery]].
