The group was meeting with the Segglestaff brothers at Martel's request. The group discussed several things with them, including what had happened to the Clear Society. The group basically found out that Wolfram and Heart had been causing problems ever since they made the deal to take on Ohigattan to obtain the Dogeship, but by the time they found out about it, it was too late, so they've been in hiding. They produced the Oathstone, and since then the Five Element Majors have now become the most active and recent chapter of the Clear Society. They were given an oath for each of their new tattoos, and they all said Yes. Enchante expressed some reluctance at first but eventually agreed.
The group was summoned to the Orihculchum throne by the Doge. His son had been placed in a tear dropped shaped silver recepticle with a curious note and a riddle claiming to 'help' them. They were given seven difficult tasks and only seven days to complete them. The group set to work immediately.
Their first task was to 'change the polarity of the node from white to black' which they accomplished by at first trying to use wands to change the node, but once inside the node the power of it caused the nodes to malfunction. After getting into an argument with the head of the Node Guard, he flipped a switch and accomplished it immediately, but not without setting himself up as a target for increased pranking in the future.
The second task was to set up a will with Wolfram and Heart. After hiring their own lawyer, Mason Parry, Martel set up an iron clad will that involved giving all of his items to an estate for oprhans upon his death. They found and eliminated several loop holes but the contract is still in effect.
The third task involved entering the ruins found in the pearl door in the city of BluePort. Upon entering, they found an ancient Gold Dragon trapped in the body of a demon who held some kind of dire secret threatening kelp. In the process of fighting it, Enchante was trapped in its body while the group worked out how to fix the situation. Upon examining the treasure buried in the vaults, they found many items including a scroll to transfer the possession of the demon to something else. They also found a staff of the serpent, which they used to turn into a snake and then 'possess' the demon, which was then converted back into a staff. The group also found a powerful ancient book of prophesy and a lens that could indicate when that propshesy was relevant. They also found a curiously lucid history of Inglemia. Enchante was freed and they moved on to the next tax.
The fourth task involved retrieving the ancient crown of the King of the Mountain dwarves. As they moved along, they killed several ropers. They also ran into the Lich that they had stopped from opening the door to ravenloft, who proceeded to cast a single delayed spell before they killed him. The group, vowing to hunt down his psychaltry, suddenly found themselves fighting an evil twin of themselves, identical in power but without their gear. The battle was tough but they managed to pull it off. After overcoming several rather nasty traps, they managed to obtain the crown.
The fifth task involved bearding Iuz in his den, so they traveled to the Third Air Fleet, just as they were about to fall. Using the cubic gate, the group saved the fleet just as it was about to go down, and at the same time reversed on of Iuz's "God Bombs" sending it right back at him with the full remaining barage of the fleet and shattering the mirror. They also used a single use ancient artifact from the Inglemian vaults to utterly destroy his headquarters and banish his demon and undead army back to their respective planes, thus seriously damaging the cause of the Ring of Darkness. Or at least one of its major members.
The sixth task involved dropping a drop of blood on the sword of Elric of Melnibone. They accomplished this by using a powerful wish spell to travel there, and after a series of negotiations with trade between Melinbone and Inglemia, succeeded in getting Elric to let them accomplish their task.
However, upon attempting to accomplish the seventh task, they discovered that all wish scrolls in Inglemia had vanished, so they were forced to use a spell jamming ship to try and blind the Beholder King, but due to an attack by pirates and several storms, were greatly delayed in this journey.
The group are celebrated as mighty heroes of Inglemia but it is a bitter sweet celebration since the Prince still died.
