Dramatis Personae: The Anointed
After a long and hard won fight, the Anointed comes out on top having defeated Golarion’s finest! Having maintained their full compliment of feathers and with night growing late, the Anointed returned home where they found themselves ambushed by wave after wave of strange terracotta constructs that seemed to have the ability to shift between space, tearing a hole in reality to teleport short distances. After fighting wave after wave of these constructs and culminating in the final fight against a 100 foot tall colossus, the group grumpily returned to sleep.
The following morning they were awakened with the proclamation that echoes across the island as the symbol of a phoenix burned in the sky, the Ruby Phoenix has arrived on the Island and erected a palace atop Mount Haminabu. Any team may bring their ten feathers to the Palace to gain official admittance to the Ruby Phoenix Tournament proper and will have the opportunity to have dinner with both the Ruby Phoenix and the Empress.
The group planned out a strategy, utilizing the combined powers of the Tanuki to create a boat large enough to ferry the group along the coast and avoid any feather hunters, they then scaled up the cliff of Mount Haminabu behind the palace where they investigated the front gate.
What they say was a gathering of teams that lacked feathers, but rather than attempt to take the feathers, the teams seemed to have accepted their position and simply cheered on the rest of the arriving teams in good sportsmanship. With things looking… respectful, the Anointed approached and turned their feathers into the Ruby Phoenix, who welcomed them and congratulated them for their success. As she handed the feathers back to the group, having magically crafted them into a magic war fan, a burst of destructive magical energy surged past the Anointed and slammed into the Ruby Phoenix, disintegrating her, her body collapsing into a pile of ash in the snow.
Looking back, a Marilith rose from the crowd, serpentine and deadly, as the sore losers that summoned her began to attack members of the crowd. While the crowd surged in on the poor sports, the ANointed closed to deal with the Marilith. In the end the Marilith fell, and the ashes where the Ruby Phoenix begin to stir and a large flaming phoenix rises from within, Hao Jin—The Ruby Phoenix—appearing a moment afterwards. She thanks the Anointed for their aid and offers them a small treasure in repayment.
