When a PC does something that gets the team a benefit, I note that here.
Brunnengus, in seeking out the power of Dark Agni, went on a red herring quest, finding out what was causing the monsters in the volcano near Prima. Fighting through the assaults of garfish, kelp beasts, and ghostly thieves trapped in treasure chests, he discovered the problem: A Mars Djinni named Flashfire! In an epic battle in which his teammates fell willy-nilly, he defeated Flashfire, who had been draining power from an unknown source. Investigating, Brunnengus found out that the source was... the Mana Stone of Fire! And the spirit of Salamando was eternally grateful.
The team now has: *Access to Salamando's blessing - that includes summoning, fire skills derived from every Class of the character, and access to new fire magic *The Djinn itself, which can be "equipped" to unlock new class combinations/raise stats, used to summon, and can be used to create a web of flame that propels the character and is ideal for dodging and close-quarters combat *All Terrain Dancers have Void Dirge and Magma Boreo added *A grateful city and in particular a grateful merchant *The Mana Stone of Fire, that grants the fabled Class Change down the Dark-Light path!

Brunnengus also found the Hell Shaman. The Shamans can combine their energies into a player in order to enhance their powers or, possibly, give them a new form with whole new powers...

James' characters are now delving into Ur-Katal, and have already found some legendary items in their short quest time. He also saved a Fish Tribe member and thus got the team a major contact, including a Gheed-like gambling salesman!

Shae's new abilities allow her to be a fantastic new Tech Team member, as well as a budding black marketeer for the team to pawn their items through!
James, Tim and Mike defeated a Djinn, Ampere, last night. Its ability is to create a chain stun lightning that gets stronger each target it bounces to by blasting out some of the MP of the target it's striking (P.P.E. Bolt + Chain Lightning + Electro-Stun).

After the Stormguard's defeat, five communal abilities are learned, but they're far too strong for most people to use: 40 Days, 40 Nights; Spring Lightning; First Leviathan; Breakwind Gale; and Black Gluttony Holocaust. Also: People with Sharingens got a veritable slew of abilities, which are all communal now thanks to Wyatt.
Also, the team has 1 billion GP (that's 1,000,000,000 GP or 100,000,000,000 dollars). It can be used to purchase Elements, equipment, etc.

I just remembered: Denios Arisada and Handyman's trainings under Karn qualified them for Shaman status! They can fuse their energy, up to three times, into anyone, which might do nothing, be completely incompatible, offer a slight stat boost, offer a reasonable stat boost and a moderate physical change, or (this typically requires at least two Shamans) a drastic physical change with a notable new power. (See a Breath of Fire 2 FAQ for information on how Shaman fusing works if my description doesn't help.)

Ur-Katal continues to prove a dangerous yet valuable trove, as Jin, Spira, Banos, Takeshi, Milky and Daedrous have unlocked a cornucopia of benefits!
First, they defeated Ikash Harmuk, Third Emperor of the Katalian Dynasty and a Lich of incredible power, then called in his debt to Death itself and convinced/compelled Ikash to work with Crashing Heavens! They also thus unlocked Ikash's treasure trove, including several archaeology-specific artifacts they are obligated to give to the archaeological team but also including gold, gems and mystic items they are allowed to hold onto (though with the appropriate research, photographs, documentation, etc.); however, there is a bonus for finding these items. Krane restored a shattered phylactery of Ikash, insuring his good will towards the team (and particularly towards Krane). [Summary: New NPC teammate.]
Then, they found a mirror that allows one to trade an item for an item that the mirror has and wishes to eliminate from its collection. The mirror contained five spirits, which they defeated and took. These spirits included the Water Shaman Shola (a member of the Rurlel Eel People, Shola) who can now be used to fuse into characters, the Red Ninja who has given his services to the team in the form of granting all members a red shadow that performs certain tasks, the Impervious Golem who grants a special threshold Merit, and the Mist Dragon who can now be summoned!
Ikiru made some... interesting discoveries, which he has yet to fully share with all (somewhat due to his limits as... whatever he is).
And I'll edit this when I completely work out the treasure trove Ikash left behind.

Zenexoria has been released in addition to Banos, and Mephiasu, Dark Inferno, and others (rumored to be the Oblivion Sage and the Tzaddikim) await. Dalas the Dream Snake has been recruited.
Zenexoria's work in finding Voidess has elicited the largest addition to the team possibly in its history. After battling a strange foe, a Tzemke Hive Manwalker with not only unique genes but also unique powers and indeed a Jedi's holiness, she managed to convince this whole hive to join the team. See Tzemke Hive thread.

Jangadan, Duuz, Derrick Nightblade, Artie and Quion finally went their round against Spekkio. Using the Salt of the Angry Sea, Quion was able to split into ten, Artie teaching one of his most profound abilities using his own skill. Duuz's Gundam and Wisdom powers and Derrick's psychic abilities were also pivotal in securing victory. Spekkio rewarded them amply, boosting their own powers and securing the team five new members.
Ascending into Heaven and Hell, a mantis demon and a member of the Hundred Handed of Greek mythology are matched, respectively, with a strange Simvan who appears to be more than she lets on and a World War II veteran. A man in Army fatigues and a green metal hat polishes his beloved Garand while a lizard-like creature rides a monstrous beast with the ease of a horse and gently smokes a pipe while holding a gnarled staff. Felhame Pranax Dirk and Barney Briareus have joined the team.

Dengar Ryaku, Ash (M) Williams and Esras (the man often known as "Esras of Legend") began to seek out the Forsaken Shadow, Mephiasu. Arriving at Kalimdor where the lead from Krane took them, they immediately ran into trouble in the form of Glory Jack. Apparently associated with the new FOXHOUND/Outer Heaven conspiracy, this master of ancient dreadnaughts held down the three until a catastrophic blue flame explosion forced him to retreat. Then inside the Maelstrom they luckily avoided Azshara but instead fought eternal versions of Ragnaros and Onyxia. Finally in two planes they engaged the Abyssal Leviathan, lighting shrines in the Maelstrom to bring it down. Mephiasu's undead form with his missing lower jaw stood.
With the fourth Colossus destroyed, the energy contained in Krane's Dark Space has built to a new level of complexity. The energies that formed the Colossi have now given the team the ability to Summon the Colossi (at an appropriate power level) for themselves! The Bane Manticore that sealed Banos Apsu Ouranos, the Abyssal Leviathan that sealed Mephiasu, the Maw-Demon Heart that sealed Zenexoria, the Golden Sutra Ravana that sealed Yayoi and the Midnight Highwayman that sealed the High Noon Cowboy.
Mephiasu was brought to 7th Heaven, Tifa Lockheart's bar, and the antics proceeded from there. Krane disgusted and horrified Mephiasu, Mephiasu tried to creep out Crash Fox and proceeded to get challenges from Denios and Milkdrop, Mosho danced with Tifa, and Jin was forced home when he passed out.
Next, the group (now replacing Ash with Mephiasu and adding Duuz and Krane) challenged Spekkio. After Gran Vesh, Duuz's batteries, triockery with Mimic, Esras' weaponry and Legend Aura, Dengar's Chaos Aura, and other elements came together, Spekkio was defeated in record time. The power of the Heaven/Hell Seed unleashed Sandro, a sorceror and necromancer of incredible skill, and Spekkio contained a secret: A demi-feline by the name of Yayoi, a master healer with a knack for creating explosively powerful and sometimes chaotic and disastrous effect!
Finally, as Yayoi and Sandro were introduced to the group, with much antics such as Bombardi II performing soliloquies from Hamlet using Sandro's skull (Sandro being a skeleton and not terribly missing it), a Stormguard member appeared. She had somehow acquired recon about the fight with Glory Jack and the team's knowledge of the Outer Heaven conspiracy's deal with Itek. She began a briefing of the team...

Oh, with an *A*. That never got spelled.
Also: Laura Kemilton of the LAPD, a master demon hunter and victim of a nanotech virus similar to that which has ancestrally plagued the Tentata, recently has not only joined the team but seems to be spending an unusual amount of time with Helvena Bart.

Now Laura and Mace are getting involved in a fight club, as chronicled by the new thread in Private Campaign.
Laura, Mace and Krane explored Penn Valley to seek out a special Colossus. After quelling a great flame and teleporting a man's house, the Colossus was destroyed by Mace and Krane's brilliant work, turning its power inwards. What was released was... difficult to explain. Brent, a creature seemingly composed of pure symbols, appeared and began to refer to things with such arcane language as "Affinities" and "levels".
In addition, after the Stormguard briefing, HX-7 the new hacker robot, Dr. Og Kalintaro the new Heaven/Hell character, Kumo, Laura, Mace, Brent, Amdalus, and Krane began to seek out artifacts on Mars. They also learned of a cannibal who may be after team members...

Dark Gaia is beginning to be opened to the party, a last unfriendly bastion of spiritual reserves being exposed. First, Yayoi began to seek out the Death Phoenix, a creature that lives its entire life in death except for spectacular births.
Next, Clawthorn, Krane and Yayoi began to explore the prospect of finding a great jungle under the mountains and umbraterrain of Dark Gaia.
Meanwhile, Swaggard, Denios, Quion, Duuz, Jin, Takeshi, Archeus, Banos, and Dengar began the process of bleeding the former Pirate of the Bottle dry so as to force him to join the team by the sheer weight of his debt. The initial competition, a race, ended with Jin in the first place and Quion in second, a truly spectacular show. It also acquired a new alchemist, Jonas Schopenhauer, and his powerful bodyguard and experimental subject, Vendrazs Kaz. Next the strength competition began.
Most importantly, upon completion of the race, a powerful shaman's shrine opened up in a nice park on the planet! In it, Denios discovered a Karn fusion technique that would combine a representative character from each of the four Aristotelian elements. Similar gifts await certain selected individuals.

Milkdrop's hacker outreach program has finally hit paydirt: Mac Kisaragi, a gifted whiz kid who happens to also be a genius in a variety of ways that benefit the team. He is a master tracker and locator, able to find items and people alike; a descendant of a family that produced masterful katanas (and now trained by both Masamune and Murasama); a communications protocol master who can coordinate information, data, tactical advice, and coordinate air strikes; and the owner of a powerful satellite!

Anduris, Hack, Krane and Taklinn freed Dark Inferno from the Mercurial Protoplasm. The defeat added much to the Borrowable Items section. In addition, as with any other Colossus character, Dark Inferno's addition is an especially noteworthy one, and his knowledge about his rival is especially useful considering that the rival necromantic cult has been attacking us.
Now only 2 more Colossi need to be freed to gain a new benefit from the Colossi! The main ones out there: *Ten Thousand Cut's bounty hunter *Song's character *Imbowé (Keith currently hunting her down) *Oblivion Sage (Feick/Cory finding him) *Tzaddikim (Tony finding him)

A large group hunted down the Transgressive Beast of the Flowering Seed of Life. As they came along, they encountered a man who called himself Doga and was an associate of Lord Ashalak the Transcendent Dark Dragon. After the High Noon Cowboy and Seiryu took severe injuries, lucky and brilliant attacks by Krane, Dr. Og Kalintaro, the High Noon Cowboy, Zenexoria, Shae and Fatal Error succeeded in running him off, providing Shade with the Ax of Brutality. The new member Seiryu was involved with this group. Seiryu was well-known for being a premier shinigami and for his parents being murdered by a powerful demon.
Elsewhere, another group detected a large presence on Earth. It is currently unknown what is happening, but a massive sphere of water that significantly lowered the Pacific Ocean appeared...
A third group when going to Kids Next Door Moon Base was interrupted by a horrible creature named Rahmanhotep. This ancient Nightbane apparently is associated with Itek and consumes the energy of his foes to purchase more Talents! This group also saw the first action of Isaet Grim, the fused clone of Sparda and Tyriel.
The first adventurers into the Mnesis Codex began to look for a mysterious gunman, #666 of the Kids Next Door, and Victoria Hack (Vincent's twin sister who appears to have withdrawn herself to the most dead place one can find).
Seiryu and Denios explored Hueco Mundo looking for Yoshi Sato, the only man alive known to be able to produce Zanpakuto. They encountered a man consuming a Hollow who seemed to be viciously against the supernatural of all kinds.
Furax, Mosho, Pander, Nobi, Dalas, Ghino'ba and Ghino's tribesmen began to take the secret entrance to the rear of the Viper's Pit. They found 6 Djinn and then encountered mysterious animal riders...
Mr. Fo and Ruben Flonne's duel continued, and Ruben also began fighting Seiryu.
Seiryu also noticeably disappeared to track something...
Cisero continued to try to find Voracio, Pranax Mandal's friend, and entered a sadistic underground demon tournament where the winner is allowed (indeed almost forced) to eat his rival alive!

Mace began to prepare to siege the Mirage Palace! He began in Pedan.
Marche began his Grim Grimoire quests to seek out the location of the Undead Totema. Two were available: Necropandemonium and his monster squads in Geeza Prairie, and the King's Ransom in the new Jagd of Rabaros.
Seiryu advanced in finding Yoshi Sato. He and Denios also revealed the man with them as a woman, Rachel ("Rashel") Jacob, whose specialty is consuming the supernatural!
Cisero began his battle in the tournament, a 7-on-7 fight.
Most importantly, a group consisting of Barney Briareus, Sam Moriarty, Derrick Nightblade, Jin Taing-Slaytker, Banos "Quagmire", Takeshi Ryozo, Mephiasu, Sandro, Ashley Williams (M), Krane, Nekia, Marche, the Chosen One and Jecht Cisero/S.G. Cid engaged a boss very similar to Aegagropilon and defeated it. In the aftermath, the second elemental spirit the team has uncovered, Dryad, was released!

Vincent Hack, while seeking out his sister Victoria, wandered through the city rapidly clumping up around Clawthorn's roots driving into the sea and bedrock of the Mnesis Codex. He encountered a strange temple and went into it. He, alongside HX-7, Sarashito, Krane, Handyman, Taklinn, Anduris, Dark Inferno, Quion, Erishkai and Danara, Felhame, and most importantly his sister who came in to provide her assistance battled the Totema of Heroes, Valorian!
From Valorian, everyone gets:
1 Transgressive Materia 1 weapon achieves bankai status 1 additional Transgressive Merit An additional 1000% Skill Points 1 additional F2 1 Djinn 1 complete Dark-Light path 50 Affinity Points Access to special Classes (see thread) One special heroic transformation Ability to summon Totema periodically Additional equipment A general release of energy
In addition, the Tzemke can get three new forms! They also got a Dryad benefit. The Red Shadow Ninja did too.

Because of the massive activity of the team [OOG: Mace, Hack, Krystal, and Colin's posts as well as Ruben's efforts have been instrumental in this], a number of new Crashing Heavens liaisons (the same rank as Helvena and Kumo) have been appointed. These include: *Kriltil Pug, the enigmatic Tonberry businessman and gambler who floats in a hover-chair like apparatus and rarely speaks in the sibilant tongue of the Tonberries, but instead displays *Xi, a Nuu fabled for his unique mastery of the art of self-replication and ensuing strategems, rumored at having surpassed even Naruto Uzumaki and Multiple Man in his genius *Jolok Ba Na Ti Gra/#101, a member of the Larhold race and an emissary from the Stormguard *Chavez Xolotihuaca, a priestly Cactaur *Pierre LeMontagne, a lady's man former Free Quebec soldier, master of the sea, with a cadre of loyal Glitter Girls *Jack 'Maverick' Armstrong, former Coalition States Psi-Stalker with a unique composite mech/vehicle and a pack of animals, the Moonreavers *Lateratis, a Tzimisce fleshcrafter attracted by the work of Zeradin Nelaphis, Mosho Homebrew, Mace *Albert Vahauser, a Quincy who often wears a mask... *Robert Ashiyoki, fabled shinigami and wielder of Digladior
A host of new members have joined the team. They include: *Relyet Flonne, daughter of Ruben Flonne and master of nature *Max Flonne, son of Ruben Flonne and alchemist *Shanyhya, druid *Debonair, gunman and master of disarming *Josuke, a Leaf Ninja sent to Crashing Heavens for being unpopular and difficult *Joey, consumer of the Gomu Gomu no Mi *Keryis, Blackguard and former adversary of Taklinn *Aran Fett, daughter of Samus Aran and Boba Fett, master bounty hunter *Staccato Graywinters, protegé of Knives Millions and Legato Bluesummers *Zelen Holosol, Illithid *Poen Grafficane *Sam *Jerry Thrace, ex-Yakuza *Imbowé, healer and member of the Tree People
Relyet and a large group ventured into the Nightlands in order to engage a lieutenant of Itek, rumored to be a possessing spirit.
Seiryu returned from what was rumored to be a depressive episode and was greeted by the group eagerly.
Duels occurred. Felhame dueled Josuke and Joey, defeating both after difficult fights. Ruben and Josuke tied. Sarashito and Relyet began a duel, as did Ruben and Hack versus two mysterious opponents in the CH mainframe. Ruben and Shae also battled.
The Chosen One, Cisero, Mace, Brent and Laura began to look for three Colossi. They found one: The one containing Poen Grafficane.
Imbowé was also released by the courageous efforts of Mosho, Furax, Pander, Nobi, Dalas, G'hino'ba, and the Tree People.
Mace, Laura and Brent engaged the Burning Legion around a planet close to Azeroth.
