Jareth Mooncalled:
Ardenas Barehand:
Jareth, just for clarity, Ardenas was never in the "Juniors" group, he picked up the lead that turned into "Day at the Dojo" after returning from an aborted mapping expedition with Huey and Mythos.
That's why I put him as 'Left "Wastrel's Hope" for "A day at the dojo"'. I didn't go back to reread how connected you were to Nodwin, Grimbo, and Mario... but Ardenas was there (as you said, it's where he picked up the plot thread).
Ardenas has never, as far as I'm aware, met any of the characters currently in "Against the Cult". He got sucked into that quest without every meeting Lepkur or that plutorcrat, whatever his name was; it was Strong Clair and the barmaid at the guild who pulled Huey, Oly, and Ardenas into that.
However that is, "Day at the Dojo" and "Searching for a Poet" are the threads for that nearly-aborted adventure (which may be getting a second group put onto it, from my reading of other threads -- apparently two days is too slow, or the Guild folks are IC in not even knowing Ardenas, Oly, and Huey are still working that line).
