We started our Paragon Tier journey tonight. The session was a fairly short one to get the characters back together, introduce our new player and get everyone used to how their characters worked after the Christmas break and hitting Level 11.
Before the report a quick recap of who our heroes are and an introduction for our new member.
Morn: Former Paladin of the Unfettered God. Morn lost the woman he lusted after and his faith in the City of Kings. He wields the Hammer of a Titan with an attitude to match. After overthrowing Darius he declared that he had had enough of Gods and Demons and walked off into the desert. As the game starts he is the Lord of the Pit, Arena Champion of the City of Daal (Fighter/Pit Fighter).
Assamber: Mage and one time devotee of the Primordial Mael. Assamber is a member of the ocean going Lokarnos people. He has plumbed the depths of the Maelstrom, the font of all magical power and returned changed. Once a worshipper of the Gods now he sees himself perhaps as their equal (Wizard/Spellstorm Mage).
Azhanti: Dragonborn Priest of Vulcan, Lord of Storms and father of the Dragonborn race. Vulcan is a dead God but his spirit lives on. Azhanti intends to correct that mistake and elevate himself to the position. He seeks allies in various elemental Courts (Cleric/Radiant Servant).
Artemis: A wanderer, Ranger of the Pashtun desert people. Artemis came to the City of Kings to seek revenge on Akaran Trak'Ar for kidnapping and raping his mother. Trak'Ar is dead and Artemis has sought new purpose for his life. His wanderings in the Shrouded Oasis, a fragment of a forgotten past, have attracted an ancient spirit which now travels by his side, a giant hunting cat which is more than it seems (Beastmaster Ranger/Battle Archer).
Chiniko: An Orcale of a strange people of the freezing lands of the south. They are worshippers of Sopias in his aspect of the Lord of Dreams. Chiniko has been dispatched to help the group to find the Heart of Sopias and the other Primordials. It is unclear yet whether Chiniko seeks to free the insane Sopias, kill him or cure him (Warlock/Divine Oracle).
Act 1: The Prequel
It is now six months after the events in the City of Kings. Morn has left, rejecting his destiny and our three remaining heroes have trecked through the snowy wastes of the south. They are greeted warmly by the local people and consult with their elders. Recognising the danger of Sopias being released they agree to yield the Heart to the group. Venturing to the ancient Shrine of Madness they are shocked to find the Heart there is a fraud. The real version has been stolen and an illusionary duplicate has been left in its place.
Pledging their aid the Elders dispatch Chiniko and their flying ship to help them on their way. Chiniko is an Oracle and can trace the presence of the Hearts. The Elders also reveal that they will need five people to open the Labyrinth of Reptos, one for each Heart.
The group resolve to recruit Morn, if he will join them.

As discussed on the forums I decided not to go with the Shrouded Oasis for the pets origin.
It's a spirit of the desert sands and wind that takes the form of a desert tiger. It's linked in with the characters attempts to become the legendary hunter of his people chosen by the great spirits.
I've assumed an iniitial communion has taken place with the spirits in this regard. If you want that to be a scene in game we can flashback to it.
Doh, forgot about that. Consider it amended.
I'll note that I'm a Divine Oracle, not a Radiant Servant Paragon Path, but otherwise all good stuff :-)
waiting till the next session will be indeed annoying :-)
