Crystal of Storms 336

336

You continue your journey across the market, this time being more wary about who, or what, might be following you. You’ve not been travelling for long when a young Goblin comes running up to you with an anxious look on his face.

“I heard you were looking for me?” he pants, struggling to catch his breath.

This is definitely no Stormborn, so it must be Hazi.

“Do you have any news about him? Did he send you?”

Confused, you ask who he’s referring to.

“Vizigg the Elder Technomancer, of course! You mean he hasn’t sent word?”

You shake your head and explain that you’re investigating what happened on Nimbus and were told you should speak to him.

Hazi sinks down on a crate, looking miserable. “I used to be an apprentice of his before he retired. He always comes here to have breakfast, but today he missed it, with no explanation. If you’re heading to Asperitas, do you think you could check his house? I don’t have enough coin for the flyer ride.”

You assure him that you will.

“Thank you, Officer,” says Hazi, looking a little more relieved.

You ask him whether he has any idea what might have happened on Nimbus.

“I’ve not worked there for a few years, but I still can’t understand what could have caused the crash. Nimbus, like all our islands, is held up by large storm crystals. Unlike the crystals in your hovers, the island crystals are strong enough to hold their energy perpetually. If the crystals failed, then something caused that to happen. I fear it was no accident.”

Add the codeword Hazi to your Adventure Sheet.
