The Bruisers left the island of Quazi and accompanied Harper and Nuakar toward a place called Ropeway back on the mainland of Core Vandal, a place Nuakar called home near Noxious Falls
Along the way, Jezria told the tale of a young woman in Trine who had come to the Church of the Sacred Flame in a bad way and had come to change into a productive member of society
Harper told how he was a sought after individual because of his perfect knowledge of the Nine Hells, Abyss, and Shadowfell. While the group didnt fully trust him, he did confess to gaining those powers as a boon in Delve and then writing it all down in dozens of books and notes so he could take his boon with him wherever he went. The building of the Castle Avernus was just a job to him.
The group saw a raft of animal-kin pass by, lead by a Panda-kin named Shen, who claimed they were going to their homeland to join in a revolution. The Bruisers wished them luck.
Arriving in thge Ropeway, they met a Tortle named Salazar, a kind and hospitable conductor of the massive lift the carried cargo and passengers up and down the cliff from the Kindred Sea to the plains of Core Vandal
The group made themselves at home but were soon called upon to help a group of injured travelers
A man in a mask, incapable of being healed by conventional means, needed the assistance of shadow-fey creatures said to live in Noxious Falls. Apparently he had a run in with Him Below while in Delve.
It just so happened the leader of this new group, a woman named Omnia, needed to talk to Harper in order to gain knowledge of the whereabouts of one of her companions who had made a bad deal with a devil.
The Bruisers also helped cure a young girl named Farrow, who had half her face destroyed and a missing arm.
Omnia asked for the assistance of the legendary Bogul's Bruisers to help them get to the Falls, and while Samoht was dubious, claiming the Dream Tether warned him against these people, the Bruisers decided they could always help and kill the new group later.
