Wildermyth: How deep is your Cult?

[Part of the Cursed story line]

Having been rescued from a Deepist cult cave by Runea and Nyrissa, Krisztian vows revenge and joins the Cockatrices after convincing them of their expanding threat. They also hire the outlander Kaelun to assist during their travels, encountering a few left over evil deadbots in the process. One village even lives happily with them now. Feeling that perhaps those were Misia and Hally's goodbots they are left in peace.

Eventually the party clears a Deepist fort guarded by their stronger minotaur-shifting members, as well as an actual massive minotaur who Nyrissa kills using her plant pull into Krisztian's rapier (teamwork!) but proving that humans are always the worst threat it is a trio of simple brigands unaffiliated with the Deepists that manage to kill Kaelun in a close quarter ambush.  

Wounded from a against a lizardman incursion, Runea contracts an "uncurable" disease which rots her from the inside but she and Krisztian find research that leads them to a rare, one use magical cure all which they get from an easily defeated gorgon. Runea opts to use it on a petrified adventurer nearby though, freeing the mystic Trynne Ocean who agrees to join the Cockatrices as thanks, along with her now same aged daughter Milly. Runea later  succumbs to her illness.

Wildermyth: Core of the Problem

[Part of the Cursed story line]

Defeating the Grand Matron only angers the robodead swarm as they begin bursting forth from another mountain. With their recent losses, the Cockatrices recruit Rue's daughter Jaymriel and farmer Jon to fill out the ranks. Rue also tries ask her ex who leads a mercenary group for aid, but only gets the cold shoulder. Luckily, Runea and Zefelle, two of the mercs, aren't as heartless and offer to join too.

While Gwynelia leads Jon and Runea to defend against incursions in the North, the rest continue sweeping the Southlands of all threats. In one deep cave Zefelle's greed results in a nameless statue shooting a gem into her left eye and turns her into the sight of that forgotten god. It also helps them pinpoint the source of the deadbots which is a tiny crack in a huge mountain.

After fighting through the guardians the team locate a trio of robotic cores that control the machine menace and with help from Hally and Misia's goodbot forces, some of which are destroyed in the battle, manage to destroy these with little issue. With this most of the deadbots return to being dead, ending their threat to the land while the goodbots try change the public's perception of them.
