Meridian Edict April Round-Up
Okay so I slacked on this so enjoy two entire gigaposts summarising our roleplay and Iâm definitely totally this time going to start doing summaries after each rp I swear (/me lies)
Week Two
Picking up from where Daerron left us off, on the 7th a small group of the Edict ventured to the weekly Horde social⊠where they came across a baby Gronnling named âTinyâ?

Then on the 8th, a Blood Knight came bearing âgiftsâ from the murderer the Edict had been tracking. These gifts were little more than thinly veiled taunts - some discovered to be thinner than others, as the group rushed to a certain Heroes home town of Thelsamar in hopes that they were not too late to save his parents from a burning infernoâŠ

The next day, the 9th, was a relatively peaceful shop night. The child of the resident Divinator came to visit, questioning why his mother had not been seen for the last week - to find a certain Courier claiming to have destroyed her? As the evening progressed, a selection of the Edict returned to the Arboretum. Not only getting astonishingly drunk and trashing the place⊠but having their boss walk in to find them all in such a state!

Some people are very secure in who they are, what theyâre capable of, secure in their egoes, and do not need to rely on peoples opinions to confirm their value. Other people are named Rhaethas Ashsong. So, when he heard that there was an arm-wrestling competition in the bay on the 10th he was sure to invite his friends along.
However⊠all turned terrifying when the murderer they had been tracking appeared from the shadows⊠reassuring the Edict that they are not safe while he remains unstopped.

A few days later the Edict followed their monthly tradition on going to the Darkmoon Faire, where they quickly became distracted from the games with yet another âgiftâ. They took their injured friend to the first aid tent, where they made aquaintance with a mysterious Undead Doctor who was all too eager to lend her help.
âŠlater on they found Rhaethas stuck in a tree, but who cares.

Finding themselves enraptued in a war they never intended to begin, on the 13th the Edictâs pathfinders gathered to discuss the path forward in the Erantex situation. Though, how can they hope to forge a path forward when they face internal disputes?

Week Three
Dalaran Library, truly the Edictâs favourite place to be at this rate. I sure hope nothing ever happens to it. Thatâd be like, awful. Considering how often the Edict find themselves in there, I sure hope they can enjoy it well into the Fall. Or, even then, I hope they can enjoy it without random Kirin Tor sitting in their spot for a few months.
This isnât me filling space because I forgot entirely what happened on that day. I know they bumped into the Doctor again. Stop asking me questions.

How many times do you think a single Courier could crash into the same tree? The answer may surprise you! Gathering in the Library, the Edict made a plan for how to tackle their bounty hunt. It was well and good they know he was the murderer, but now they had to figure out how to either find him or lure him out.

Having a personal Courier for the Edict has been a wonderful benefit, however that lasts up until she delivers landmines again. Leading to a risky landmine disposal manouever that cost a hand - and could have cost far more.

On the 19th the Edict found themselves enjoying their leisure time on the streets of Stormwind once more. Well, what was supposed to be a relaxed evening found the Edict with some interesting new friends. Including the Rat Guy⊠with his conquest to find the rat queen. As well as some new Worgen friends.

For some reason, it seems every time the Edict try to bake things in the kitchen there are diabolical after effects. With this incident of bread baking resulting in a Courierâs career at risk following her crash landing into the building. Not to fret, the local Divinator taught the Courier the wonderful ways of âgrovellingâ.

Week Four
"LOOK UPON THIS CITY. THE SIZE. THE INSIGNIFICANCE OF IT. IT IS STILL MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER BE.
IN A THOUSAND YEARS, THIS PITIFUL MOUND WILL STILL BE HERE.
Where will you be, Rhaethas Ashsong?"
What was meant to be a brief discussion of philosophy, found a Renâdorei hung in the air hundreds of miles in the sky above Stormwind. Gripped hovering from death by only a Courierâs claws.

Over the last few days the Edict had found themselves socialising with a curious Scribe⊠only to find out on the 22nd that he may be far more important to their Erantex expedition than they could have ever imagined. With their newfound secret, the Edict must decide how to ensure the Scribeâs safety.

The next day was another ordinary night in the Solstice Bazaar, well as ordinary as it gets. The Rusted Dracthyr and Food Fox adventured off to unusual lands, leading to a Renâdorei frantically searching for where the duo had ran off to once the shop had closed.
Though, they eventually found themselves in the sewers, as most evenings seem to do, where the Rusted Dracthyrâs germaphobia took a violent turn.

In Booty Bay, the Undead Doctor made a reappearance. She went into detail about her unusual business practices - trading free health care for helpful services; notably assistance in her experimentation for cures against deadly diseases. Though⊠some canât help but have a small inkling that the Doctorâs ethics may not be as pristine as she claims them to be.

Returning to the Library, the Edict found themselves meeting the Doctorâs loyal companion; Mr Barker. A sickly worgen covered in an unusual contraption, claimed to be helping him of his dementia. More questions were raised about her ethics - what is she doing to keep him alive? Should he even be alive?

On the 26th, the Edict went to watch the fateful fight between Danny the Mail Man and Carlos - though, when Carlos failed to arrive, the night attempted to turn to mere socialisation⊠until the Order of the Sacred Flame arrived to Stormglen in the search of a masked Void cultist. When the Edictâs resident Renâdorei fit the bill almost perfectly, the Edict found itself desperately trying to plead his innocence.
The rest of the night was spent hunting spiders with their new friend Mr Barker. However, in the end of the evening, the Hero gives Mr Barker a quest⊠leading him to disappear into the night.

Returning to Erantex, the campsite found a surprise visitor of the rebellion. While catching up with the Pyromancer, a certain Renâdoreiâs attempts at minimising issues ends up making things incredibly worse. Doubt is cast upon the group, and in a time of war and betrayal⊠could that be their death sentence?

In an attempt to help out, the Masked Human travelled to the Doctorâs Clinic to provide some supplies for her. There, he discovers the Doctor has blamed him for the recent disappearance of Mr Barker - and a hefty bill was presented to him as a result. After⊠creative negotiations involving pipe bombs, basements, and comatose hostages, the Masked Human managed to leave the Clinic with only a small debt⊠one that will only provide more and more issues as time goes on.

The Erantex campaign seemed like it would benefit from more understanding of the Primals, and how the magic of the Druidâs of the Flame functions. So, on the 29th, a small study group was formed - though it quickly devolved into a discussion of eachothers pasts.

Finally, the month ended with a visit to Dalaran. The Edict met with Mr Barker once more⊠trying to solve the puzzle that is his memories and his past - especially with the belief that helping him could help absolve the Masked Man of his debt.
On that day, the Masked Man and Mr Barker made a pact. One that would ensure Mr Barker would never hurt any innocents.

Thatâs it for the April round-up! Itâs 4am now so Iâm going to bed. Letâs see if I have time to write the May round-up tomorrow!
