Travelling to Ibiza, Hermes meets with Orzaiz, and speaks with him alone, ultimately leading to his getting mind-screwed briefly.

Session 184 – "The beacon works, and Hermes jumps through a portal home before anybody can arrive through the other dozen portals so opened. After a brief discussion with Anubis, Hermes heads before Minos to be examined for mental and spiritual side-effects, before aiding in the effort to retrieve the rest of his friends. Meanwhile, Quetzcoatl and Imhotep narrow their plans down to two potential eras towards which Quetzcoatl could launch himself. . ."

Session 185 – "After some additional preparation, Quetzlcoatl launches himself through time, to the end of the era of the Stygian Master. Sadly, he arrives literally right next to the Stygian Master, and is sent off to be “crucified on the Tree of Woe.” Meanwhile, Artemis continues talking with Francis Xavier Gordon."

Session 187 – "Hermes returns to the task of rescuing his friends, and seeks information from both the Winter King and the Oracle of Samothrace, to little avail. Returning to Heliopolis, he aids in an attempt to create a broad spectrum temporal beacon, to hopefully draw a return message from Quetzlcoatl. This effort succeeds, and Quetzlcoatl replies with the last of his strength. Anubis opens a gateway, and Hermes frees Quetzlcoatl from the Tree of Woe. However, while the two return, another comes through with them: the Stygian Master himself."

Session 188 – "Anubis and the Stygian Master battle, while Hermes evacuates first Quetzlcoatl, and then everyone else near the temple. The arrival of the Cult of Ra leads to the Stygian Master surrendering. After Quetzlcoatl recovers and Hermes cleans up some, Xenos debriefs the two, which ultimately leads to a plan to rescue the other lost team mates: kidnap Darius."

Session 189 – "After some time spent fixing Heliopolis, Xenos assembles Hermes and Quetzlcoatl again to initiate the plan. The two are smuggled into Heraclidae territory ( with covert backup ) and meet with Darius, much to his anger. They make an offer, thanks to the assistance of a mind riding in the back of Hermes’ brain: the Sword for their friends. Darius hatefully agrees, and retrieves Raijin. . . and then finds the Sword to be fake. . ."

Session 190 – "The backup emerges from literally inside Hermes, and Darius repeatedly nukes their entire surroundings. Despite everyone’s best efforts, Darius is still active, if badly wounded, when reinforcements from the nearby city set out, and so the leader of Xenos’ squad orders a retreat. Hermes, Quetzlcoatl, Raijin, and two of Xenos’ men escape back to Thera."

Comments: Worst. Dice. Luck. *Ever*. We would have probably taken Darius down if not for multiple botches, and more almost as crappy rolls. . .

Session 191 – "After pondering several insane methods of locating Artemis, Hermes and Quetzlcoatl speak again with the Oracle of Samothrace, and actually get useful information. With that, they head to Heliopolis and meet with Anubis, who successfully opens a portal into the past, where Artemis is lost. . ."

Session 192 – "Quetzlcoatl makes telepathic contact with Artemis, and shortly thereafter, she returns via the gate, much to Hermes’ enjoyment. A short while later, they return to Thera and retell their stories, for each other and Xenos. Amidst deciding what to do next, however, the topic of Anahuac comes up, ultimately leading to a fight between Artemis and Quetzlcoatl, and the party going their separate ways. . ."

Session 194 – "Quetzlcoatl visits Hermes’ quarters, to find him preparing to leave. After a brief conversation, Hermes lays down terms, and Quetzlcoatl takes them both to Chengdu. Meanwhile, Artemis continues to be prepared by her retinue, before heading to court with White Crane. Hermes finds her there, and they speak briefly, Hermes asking for a chance to apologize later.

Session 196 – "After concluding the apologies, Hermes and Artemis discuss a number of other topics, ultimately leading to Hermes acting as a go-between to Quetzlcoatl. Quetzlcoatl offers anything up to his life in exchange for Artemis’ aid in freeing his land, and Artemis accepts, much to Hermes’ dismay."
