2023-09-02 - Scrivener's Library - Completed
Golett Gil, a courier for the Frontier Post, meets the group at their library lodgings. Gil cheerfully offers to answer any questions anyone might have, and also to let the group test their strength in an arm-wrestling contest—a contest they all lose miserably in spite of Gil having little combat training at all. After the party finishes up a bit of research, Gil escorts them safely from Little Scriven to Frontier Town.

2023-08-29 - Fort Sunward - Completed
Steven and Prim plummet to the ground a short trip from Fort Sunward. They find Tyrfing there, who has seemingly been slumbering beneath the sands for a while, and who has lost his scabbard. They meet Aurelia, the fort's daytime guard, who describes the function and history of the fort to the newcomers and elucidates Sojaveña's political situation. They are brought to the fort, where a reticent Estelle reunites Tyrfing with his scabbard and offers board for the night before Prim, Steven and Tyrfing are warped to Frontier Town via Travel Orb.

2023-08-26 - Founder's Square - Completed
Several heroic spirits land in Frontier Town. Laura in the river, Arctozolt in a bank vault, Corey atop a water tower, Felin in a jail cell, and Nova in front of a photographer about to take a picture. Naturally this photo went straight to the Gazette for the morning's special edition.
After accumulating a fair number of stares, the group is approached by the town marshal, Prinplup Lucien, and a local doctor, Indeedee Drungfield. Lucien remains tightly reserved, but does offer to arrange rooms for the party at Traveller's Haus, a cheap hotel, on his own credit.
The group is soon joined by those of their number who had spawned in the Wanderin' Zera, and retires for the night soon after. Nobody is sure where the missing members of the Spirit Nexus group have gone.

Aige, Lavender, Lyle, Silver, Rodion, and Tarahn appeared unexpectedly out in the desert, giving a rude awakening to the Las Picaras gang that was camping nearby.

2023-08-26 - Luminious Square - Completed
Andre, Espurr, Ghaspius, Grace, Leaf, and Ridley arrive suddenly in the workshop of inventor Spinda Gare. Once Gare gets over their accidental intrusion—and the mess they'd made of all his plans and paperwork—he explains that they've landed in idyllic Little Scriven, and directs the group to Masquerain Amelia's general store.
While Amelia offers some spare clothing, Mayor Altaria Enubel and her assistant Swellow Torria burst in, drawn by the commotion of the group's sudden arrival. Enubel is eager to learn more about these "strange heroes from other worlds" and bombards them with questions and information, although the more level-headed Amelia and Torria chalk their appearance up to a dungeon mishap.
The group is permitted to sleep in the library overnight, and in the morning are met by a courier who will escort them to Frontier Town...

2023-08-26 - Blaguarro Outskirts - Completed
Dave, Odette, Isidora, Wes, Gladion and Bellatrix land in the outskirts of Blaguarro Town. There they meet three construction workers, Erva the Skarmory, Ryder the Gabite, and Jaak the Vigoroth (disparaged by the others as a city boy), who are initially hostile. In the end, however, Jaak, who becomes especially friendly when he learns some of the PCs are humans, assists them in stowing away on a cargo train to Frontier Town and helps them pilfer some extra-fancy clothes.

2023-08-25 - Forlas Spirit Nexus - Completed
Everyone appears at the Spirit Nexus, a place between worlds, where they have been summoned by a naïve, sparkling cloud-entity (dubbed "Voice" by Ghaspius). The Voice explains that the PCs have been sent in response to a call for help that they relayed from an unknown human hero, and that they need to save a world known as Forlas from some unknown crisis that threatens it.
The Voice answers their many questions and builds fresh new bodies for the PCs. All human PCs turn into Pokémon before they can enter Forlas, becoming a species that resonates with their soul in one or another way.
