Naida: A Deft Yellowlander Climate Refugee and Scope (member of the Legion of the Far Sight). The Legion is a semi-secret society that tries to fight crime on the roads of the Grasslands and around the Circular Sea. Bone grenade aficionada. She is accompanied by Ajax, a grumpy exiled Cat Lord with a serpent tail and Bounty, the animatronic bear.
Saffron: A Wise Black Gold Industrialist Machine Human whose personality was uploaded to a cybernetic prairie dog after being killed by Johnny-7's auto immune system. Outfitted with positronic double brain, extendable limbs and laser eyes. Accompanied by a furry animate kite. Seeking a prosthetic body for mother.
Kozue: An Wise Elven Moon Mountain Witch, a soothsayer from the Sister of the Near Moon. Her singing spirit (appearing as a wingless, serpentine creature to those who can see it) in a pink bottle aids her in her auguries. She has dreams of the world ending and seeks hidden messages about the looming apocalypse.
N’Keth: A Strong Volkan Diesel Dwarf, bat eared, hyena snouted and with furry skin, who is tracking a Vile intruder from the Void. Armed with a fierce Warhammer and protected by his Holy Symbol, an unageing plastic spork.
Sherman: A Wise Tumult Fisher Wizard, Zoologist for the Tumult University Press and enthusiastic photographer, studying magic creatures for scientific journals. Skilled with his fishing rod and able to hook up objects from other dimensions. Equipped with a dwarven designed camera and a thermos of blood wine.
They leave the Ivory Plain and reach the end of the world - or so it seems. As far as they can see there is a bottomless chasm filled with noxious fog. Ruined towers file the rim. A single archaic bridge of crumbling livingstone and dryland corals disappears into the distance. Warned by Kozue's vision of interdimensional monsters and biomechanical spiders they approach the bridge carefully - with the notable exception of Sherman, who runs to the rim eager to explore the strange fauna of the area. He takes photo's of the spider webs under the bridge and spots three short and squat figures with mechanical eyes hanging in the nets and wielding tools. Sherman identifies them as Quarter-Lings.
Saffron discovers a perilous climbing route down the chasm but decides to not further investigate. Instead they try to communicate with the prisoners using Ostens as a translator. The Quarter-Lings proclaim that they are forced into maintaining the bridge by the spider queen.

N'Keth investigates the towers and concludes that their purpose is to establish a force bridge over the abyss. Unfortunately the mechanism is destroyed beyond repair. However he notices a less damaged tower to the North. While Sherman tries to catch one of the monkey rabbits that the Quarter-Lings mentioned as being the favorite food of the spiders, the rest of the party takes the Redlander truck to the tower.
They arrive at a great plaza carved into the rim with seven great ironstone helices around a projector aimed at the other side of the chasm. When N'keth approaches the towers he spots a glowing radiation ghost stuck in a loop but ignores them. However, despite all efforts he fails to understand the complex mechanism that activates the force bridge and they decide to make camp on the plaza.
Back at the Bridge Sherman manages to take a stunning photo of the flower encrusted spider queen drumming her orders through the vibrations in the web.
