Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the 5 slaves were Pidda, P137, Deeza445, Reta and SparChar. SparChar is dead, tho.
Pidda the Bird Summoner is chosen as the Party Leader, for he can communicate with the homefront using his messaging Toucans, and he makes a pretty good strategist too. The four of them set out on their journey. They must've passed the Warm Water River Valley by now.
Tristan the Necromancer is missing. I remember him sending a letter to the Frost Empire a while ago, surely Kazu has it somewhere around. Mind telling me where he is located?
