An Inventor, an Airship, and a False Detective... (End of the Rabicus Mikraels Plotline)

With the flight of the Aerocustos Duo making for Lantan home, we call this plot to a close. This.. has been a fairly long plot (a month's time for sure) , and has involved three distinct parts:

1) The Inventor Rabicus Mikraels, and the efforts of local Arelith's hiding him in safety. A young an idealistic inventor whom others sought to use for their nefarious ends.

This figure was inspired by Nikola Tesla, although with some differences. This plot's changed shape since initial inception some, but due to spoiler territory I can't detail much.

2) The Airship known as the Aercustos Duo, recovered and it's Captain saved from death, having been abandoned by a Treacherous agent of a hostile and dangerous cults.

While this had come in during the development of a plot as a request, it had fit so perfectly that I had to run with it. Even if the aircraft taking off has called brief curiousity by many, for those who took up the mantle to repair and keep the ship safe bringing it home proved to be a key part to this multilayered plot.

3) The False Quaestor, Alaicus Gaius, now executed.

This third portion was, given the impetus that brought Rabicus to the island a nescessary counterpoint , and while I figured things were going to happen in a similar fashion, I had not quite expected the exact path. But, that's a good reminder for me as a DM to remember, expect the unexpected.

There are WAY Too many people to thank for making this plot as enjoyable for me to run as it had been for you to be involved with. Thank you all!

Some music to end this out.

As long as Rabicus was saved in the end, that's good.
Thanks for the plot and the personal assistance provided!

I had a lot of fun with this plot, thank you for the story and inclusion! I loved how unique it was with the air ships and the group involved.
Was also very fun to have the LM class actually be useful in a plot, that was a new experience and highly enjoyable ^^

Thank you!

My PC interacted with a talking (mechanical) cow and then wrote an IC report about it. Years from now, when some historian is looking through old reports, it will be found. Questions will be asked. People will wonder. I am joyful at the thought.

10/10 would behave as if that's an everyday occurrence again.
