''So, last we left off: The Mighty Nein. You had made your way to the island of Rumblecusp to prepare the coming of TravelerCon, where all the various followers of the Traveler are to convene and celebrate him, and, as the Traveler would want it, probably also convince them to stop following him in such a large number. He can’t quite deal with the responsibility. It’s driving him a little insane, and as an archfey, not his thing anymore, as much.''

''Upon arriving, you set your crew to watch the ship, you head into the village of Vo, where you discover there are people who live on this island, an entire village of individuals, from different walks of life, different age groups, different backgrounds, and all seem to have lost their memory. But they live as a positive community, they support each other. A very simple lifestyle, bereft of trinkets and wealth, and you find it’s because these are given to the god of the island, a fire god known as Vokodo, that lives within the volcano of Rumblecusp. You wanted to go speak to this god, to get permission to bring the Traveler here and have this event, and as such, you had Viridian, the druidic spiritual guardian of the Vo, guide you through dangerous territory to the exterior or the volcano itself, traveling through the tunnels and the various challenges that await.''

''You met with Vokodo, this strange entity that existed in the breathable warm waters underneath the mountain itself, gave gifts that were accepted eventually for some of you, and were given permission to, "Yes, bring them here. Bring everyone to be part of this event." You all then exited the mountain, and decided to stay the night at the cusp of the tunnel’s exit. As you all began to bed down, sneakily placed a Greater Restoration spell upon Viridian, cleansing her of the foggy memory that has kept her from understanding who she was and where she was from for well over two decades, and it was revealed that Viridian was not her name. Her name is Vilya, and apparently is from Tal'Dorei. And that was where we left off.''

Quotations
Jester: Everyone else, too? The Traveler: "Everyone else of import."
 * Veth: Captain, how long, in your esteemed nautical mind, would it take us to sail around the island? Fjord: Such knowledge can only be gained after years upon the sea, the wind in your face, the brine in your gums. I have no clue.
 * The Traveler: (to Jester) "Please, don’t ever think I’m not looking out for your best interests. And I wasn’t planning to leave them all here. It was more of a backup plan if things didn’t work out well with the TravelerCon thing. You have to have a series of layers for something like this. Oh, dear thing. I don’t mean to put you through this. I was never going to abandon you or leave you to this. If things went sideways when we arrived, I would have just plucked you and everyone else of import and–"
 * The Traveler: "I don’t fight. I hedge my bets on those who fight for me."
