House of Mystery


DM MikeK - That doesn't look so good 
Thursday October 8th, 2020 7:48:35 PM

...............................
EXPERIENCE!! - Everyone receives 10,000 xp for Scene 1.
..............................

The sight of the shack with the broken door, coupled with the fact there shouldn't be any fey here, gives the Shields pause.

Zanderallen heals himself and then reflexively moves to adjust armor straps that aren't there.
Bartomus and Stohp carefully scan the building and the ones surrounding it.

Micah casts Owls Wisdom on himself, followed by Detect Magic, and looks inside.

Sid goes into full "Its a Trap!" mode, checking everything before taking a step, and checking again before taking another.

Verrry slowly, the elf works his way past the broken door and into the house.

Sid finds himself on the north wall of a 20x20 room.
There a simple bed occupying the northeast corner, and a simple wooden table with a couple wooden chairs in the southeast corner.
A plain wool curtain hangs across an opening on the far side of the room.

The elf notes that a fine layer of dust covers the floor and furniture.
He can also see that the table and chairs have been roughly shoved against a wall, and tracks fitting the creature’s features lead from that curtain to the doorway he just entered.

The party retains line of sight on Sid as he explores.
Nothing unpleasant occurs.

It looks your standard, cheap, abandoned room.

Sid, Stohp, and Bart Highlight to display spoiler: { Except....as Sid is moving about the room, he is naturally kicking up some of the dust. All three discern that the dust is moving juusst a bit slower than gravity dictates.}

Micah Highlight to display spoiler: { There are no magic auras in the room. Beyond the room, behind that wool curtain...he doesn't detect a specific aura, but there is something - nothing specific, but a lingering magic somewhere beyond the curtain. }

Bartomus watched and saw the dust move differently than it should have moved. He focused in on it and as he affirmed what he was seeing as Sid moved through the room, he spoke aloud. Someone else is seeing this right? Something in that room isn't right? Watch the dust he's kicking up."

Stohp nods. "Maybe an illusion or something hiding what's really there, but just off enough for us to notice?"

Micah (John) HP: 84/84 AC: 17/12/17 CMD:20  
Friday October 9th, 2020 9:21:44 AM


Micah quickly surveys the room for magic. "Sid," he says calmly, "I do not see any active magic here, but there seems to be indication of some residual magic behind that curtain. Please be careful."

Sid hesitates just a moment at Micah's warning, then he carefully steps forward to the side of the curtain. Reaching out with Mildred, he flicks it open, carefully leaning to look behind it without exposing too much of himself.

Stock grunts. "Residual magic...I don't even like regular magic..."

Seeing the situation inside appears stable, Stock heads outside. If he sees any locals, he approaches and asks if they know anything about the house or who owns it.

As Micah gives his warning and Sid starts moving in, Zanderallen advances to support Sid in case something is behind the curtain. If nothing goes boom, he'll open his divine sight and start scanning the current room and room behind the curtain for evil.

DM MikeK - Something in this room isn't right 
Saturday October 10th, 2020 10:18:24 AM

Bart and Stohp peer over Micah's shoulders, and comment on the odd behavior of the dust.

Micah, meanwhile, warns Sid about residual magic beyond the curtain.

If possible, Sid reacts by becoming even more careful.

As Zanderallen moves into the room to provide support, Sid eases to one side, and uses Mildred to flick back the curtain.

Pushing aside the curtain reveals a narrow, 10’ long hallway. There is a crude kitchen on one side, a privy on the other and a broken door on the far end of the hall. The door is broken out (ie - someone inside the far room broke it into the hallway).
It is very, very dark in that far room.

Perception DC 15 Highlight to display spoiler: {But, the darkness is tinged with a very faint blue.}

Micah detects the presence of magic auras in the far room.

Meanwhile, Stock looks around for locals in the street.
He doesn't see anyone lurking about.
There are several neighbor doors in the vicinity, should he wish to knock on one.

Sid looks into the far room. He turns back and whispers, "That darkness is tinged with a faint blue. What does that mean?"

He cautiously moved up to, but not through the broken doorway to get a better look.

"I guess we'll just post guard duty here, 'cause we are not going to go through that tiny door," Bartomus said as he pointed his thumb over at Stohp. He took the right side of the door and peaked into the house.

Not one to stop halfway, Stock jogs over to doors and starts knocking to find a local and find out if this house has always been here.

"I don't know what it means Sid. But something is off about the darkness in that room. Let's see what this does. Be ready everyone." Zander does a short incantation and his shield blazes forth with Daylight. Squinting at first he moves into the hallway to see if the light will illuminate the back room. Ready for danger.

Micah continues to focus on the auras in the room and tries to discern what is causing the darkness.

He smiles as Zanderallen calls for light and continues with his own plans for illumination. He takes a coin, casts light on it and tosses it into the darkened room.

DM MikeK - Posting guard duty 
Monday October 12th, 2020 5:42:45 PM

Stohp thinks about entering the house, but with Micah literally standing in the doorway, there's no way to do that.
She is forced to keep watch from outside.

Sid cautiously moves up to the broken door.

Bart remarks that he and Stohp are relegated to guard duty.
The door is normal sized, so he could squeeze through if Micah weren't in the way.
Of course, there's not a whole lotta room in this house, so adding a taur or two will make it pretty crowded.

Stock jogs over to doors and starts knocking to find a local. He finds one quickly enough, as a grubby human fellow wearing ripped up pants and carrying an open bottle containing something very alcoholic opens the door. This happens about the time the dwarf's Enlarge spell wears off, and the man's face registers a great deal of surprise as Stock shrinks to his normal sized self.
"Huh," drawls the man.

Zanderallen casts a Daylight spell on his shield, and moves into the hallway behind Sid.
There is a beat in which nothing happens, and then his shield lights up modestly, but then quickly brightens to its full effect.

Micah casts light onto a coin. But tossing it past two people filling a crowded hallway from 30' away will take an attack roll.

Zanderallen's shield does break up the darkness of the far room.

It is small, just 10' square, and windowless.

Centered in the middle of the room is a one-foot tall, tear shaped, blue crystal embedded on its base in the floor.
A dim light emanates from the crystal.
There is nothing else in the room.

Micah maintains his concentration, and can see the crystal is radiating an overwhelming aura of conjuration.
The room itself has a moderate aura of evocation and illusion.
The cleric is fairly sure the room is under a Hallow spell, with another spell tied to it.
He's got no idea what the crystal is.

Bartomus tried looking into the shack through the broken door from where he was standing. "Well, whatcha finding in there folks? Anything that explains outraged wooden fey? Any markings or such for the summoning?"



Zanderallen (Zachary H) 104/104 AC: 16 T: 13 FF: 17 CMD: 24 
Tuesday October 13th, 2020 11:27:13 AM

Zanderallen holds still, allowing his shield to illuminate the room without getting in Sid's way. He calls back to Bart and the other outside. "Micah can tell you more about what it might be, but we've got a large crystal stuck in the floor, faintly glowing and looking really magical. Judging from the doors broken out from this room, I'd say this is where those fey came from. Now I guess the real questions are, how were they summoned, and who opened the portal?" Zander peers nervously at the crystal, wondering what might cause it to go off again. Where was a wizard when you needed one?

Micah (John) HP: 84/84 AC: 17/12/17 CMD:20   d20+10=15 ;
Tuesday October 13th, 2020 6:25:48 PM


Micah evaluates the auras, thinking out loud, "I see evocation, conjuration, and illusion aura, and there appears to be a hallow spell. I will be honest. I am a bit confused. Hallow spells are good, but the creatures that came through were definitely evil."

He pauses a moment, wishing that Dorbin were still with the Shields. He continues, "I am going to cast true seeing. It will take me some time in prayer to be able do so. Maybe it will show me something I am missing. Secure the perimeter while I am concentrating."

Micah makes a comfortable spot in the front room, and quickly goes into a meditative state. It will take about 15 minutes before he is ready to cast. Once he has it prepared, he casts true seeing and examines the room again.

=======
[Micah is using a bonus spell slot created by his increased wisdom from Owl's Wisdom. Since he extended it, the preparation time will fall within the duration of the spell. If I am incorrect in Micah being able to prepare and cast this spell with the temporary wisdom, then Micah will cast Dispel Magic, which he already has prepared, on the illusion aura. The check for that is 15.]

DM MikeK - This is confusing 
Tuesday October 13th, 2020 6:57:19 PM

By the light of Zanderallen's shield, Sid's expert eyes give the place a thorough inspection.

The elf sees nothing to indicate the room or the crystal are trapped.

He does see a trail stain where some drops of a dark red liquid rolled down from the tip to the side of the crystal.

Stohp and Bart continue to stand behind Micah, and ask for some news.
Zanderallen gives them what he can.

Micah calls out what he sees, confused at the apparent discrepancies.

The cleric considers a True Seeing, but realizes he can't prepare it at this time.
Instead, he tries a Dispel Magic. The spell has no effect.

Stock clears his throat and all of a sudden wishes one of the better talkers of the group had this job. "Hello, Sir. My name is Stock Simpleshard. You might remember me from many of the heroic acts that have occurred in the Float over the last year or so. Anyway, is there anything special about that shack over there? I mean has it always been there? Do you know the owner? Have you seen the owner recently?"

He realizes that as he has been talking, it is coming out more and more like he is badgering the poor man. He shuts up and listens.

"Anyone we know that we could take that thing to and ask," Bartomus said as he nodded at what Stohp said. "I mean I am not sure you want to touch it, and don't bleed on it, but might be able to wrap it in something like that grimy, threadbare curtain."

"The WLA or Sage's guild might be able to help us figure out what it is. But what happened to the people who put it here? I'm going to take a closer look." Zanderallen, with a quick prayer and a sign against evil, he grants himself some protection against mental threats and walks into the room. On his way in he rips the curtain off the entry to the hallway as a potential wrap for the crystal.

Micah arrests his step forward as Zanderallen does what he was just starting to do. He quickly pulls out his rope and tosses it around the paladin as he passes by. "Just in case we need to pull out your body," he explains with a smirk.



DM MikeK - Have you seen the owner recently? 
Wednesday October 14th, 2020 7:10:02 PM

Sid asks, "Do you see that blood on the tip and side of the crystal? That's bad, right?"

"Maybe this was a ritual site to summon the things and now it's all inert?" Stohp posits aloud.
Micah realizes this is unlikely. He believes the item is of the Conjuration (creation) school, rather than Conjuration (summoning) one would expect from a summoning type item.

"Anyone we know that we could take that thing to and ask," Bartomus said as he nodded at what Stohp said. "I mean I am not sure you want to touch it, and don't bleed on it, but might be able to wrap it in something like that grimy, threadbare curtain."

Zanderallen answers that, and decides to take a closer look. With a quick prayer and a sign against evil, he grants himself some protection against mental threats and walks into the room.

While he is prepping, Micah enters the house, and throws a rope around the paladin.

Zanderallen rips down the curtain to the entryway, slides past Sid, and enters the room with the crystal.

As he does, the Shields find that cannot hear Zanderallen - no footfalls, no banging shield, no swishing curtain, no sound at all.

The paladin finds three things immediately apparent:
1) He finds himself in total silence.
2) There is a palpable force emanating from the crystal.
Zanderallen - INT check DC10 Highlight to display spoiler: {The palading instinctively understands that this is serious, artifact level stuff}
3) The crystal is not sitting on the floor. It is set INTO the floor.

Meanwhile, Stock has some questions for the neighbor he's found/accosted. Realizing he's badgering the poor man, he shuts up and listens.

The fellow doesn't react much to the ongoing questioning.
He just gives a long sigh, smacks his lips together a couple times, and turns his head to regard the house thoughtfully.

"Ayeah..that's Caerylon's place. Been there as long as I kin 'member. Ain't seen Caerylon in awhile, though. Few months, anyway. 'Course he's sometimes away for awhile. Goes for awhile, and then stays for awhile. Keeps to himself. He's an elf. Old. Not just elf old. Old, old."

Zanderallen almost glares as Micah throws him the rope, but then on further consideration nods and ties himself off. Walking into the room the hair on his neck stands on end and he looks almost as if something hit him. Completely baffled by the stone and realizing his plan to pick it up is not an option, Zanderallen backs out of the room. He shakes his head as he leaves. "That stone is bad juju. It feels like something is in there, staring you down with the mere force of it's presence. Also it's set into the floor, it think it would take some tools to get it out. Has anyone found anything else in the house?"

Micah lets out the breath he didn't realize he was holding when Zanderallen steps out of the room. He spends a few moments concentrating to make sure the paladin is not newly enchanted.

"It appears," he explains, "that the magic involved is very powerful and of the type typically associated with planar gates. We need to secure this building and find someone who knows more about this type of magic. I wonder what the others have discovered about who owns this place."

"I will stay here and guard the crystal."

DM MikeK - A thorough checking out 
Thursday October 15th, 2020 7:07:42 PM

Stohp thinks the Silence effect is meant to keep whatever is here secret from the neighbors.

Stock comes back to report the owner of the house is an old, old, elf named Caerylon, who hasn't been seen for awhile.
The dwarf wonders about the crystal.

Zanderallen exits the far room, reporting the crystal is bad juju and set into the floor. He wonders aloud what else might be found in the house.

Micah explains that the magic involved is very powerful and of the type typically associated with planar gates. He suggests setting a guard and getting some help.

Sid goes with Zanderallen's thought, and scours the house.

When Sid finishes up, he finds a few things, but not a whole lot.

-The house has been unused for at least a month, other today's appearance by the fey creatures.
-The fey originated in the crystal room, broke open the door, walked down the hall, and out of the house, breaking down that door in the process.

-The crystal is a powerful magic item.
-On the pointed tip of the tear shaped object is dried blood.
-The bloodstain is not recent, again at least a month old.
-The amount of blood on the tip and crystal is miniscule, perhaps a couple of drops.

-In the entry room, over the door leading out, there is a symbol of some kind carved into the lintel.
-The carving is of good quality. Stock is sure it was professionally done.
OOC - I've included the symbol on the house map.

Bartomus had leaned against the outside of the shack and day dreamed about something somewhere other than where they were at. When he realized that he had zoned out, he came back into focus as there were discussions about the shack being unused for a month.

When the carving on the lintel became a focus of attention Bartomus peaked in and up and then at Sid's notes. "What a pretty flower, wonder what color it was painted when someone lived here. I like carving flowers, little petals, and then the leaves."

No skill so tried for a 20 and got a 1, so you have a spacey taur talking about pretty flowers.

Stohp isn't really sure what the odds are that they figure out what strange magic occurred here since none of them are actually mages. "... we could just document everything, burn it down, and take the crystal and notes to the sages guild? They may be able to figure out what happened and destroying the location should prevent whatever it is activating again right?"

Zanderallen listens to Sid's report and then looks at the symbol above the door. As soon as he gets a good look at it he curses under his breath, "Caeroldra. What is her symbol doing here? She is supposed to be dead. I'm getting a bad feeling about this. If this is a gate, I think it's a little above our magical prowess. If this is a planar gate we need to get the council involved. Unarmored I am probably the fastest, I will go to the Paragon. But first Micah, you and I are of a similar size." He pulls out his suit of backup chain mail from his Bag of Holding and lays it out for Micah. Then if no one stops him he takes off for the council level at the fastest speed he thinks he can maintain to the top of the city.

Stock watches Zanderallen hare off and frowns. "If my legs were longer I'd be faster...Does anybody know if these fey were gated in, does that immediately make them bloodthirsty? I mean when I originally took that gate to come to the Float the first time, I didn't start killing people."

"Yes, definitely High Woldian," agrees Micah as he looks at the carved symbol.

"And you are correct about the religious significance. That is the symbol of Caerolda". He shakes his head as he says so. "I wonder if there is any connection to the Hands of Love we dealt with awhile back? Also, we were told a few months ago that she died when all that upheaval of the gods occurred."

Micah looks up as Stohp speaks. "That is tempting..." After a pause he counters, with a sigh, "but probably should not risk burning down the block for it."

"Guys, I have a Bird Token for this... crap. Nope. I guess I used them all. Anyway, we probably need the guard to lock this down unless you want it quiet. But you do you." Sid looks at the crystal and how it is embedded in the floor and tries to remember anything about the planes he can.

The symbol on the lintel is identified as the High Woldian Sigil of Caeroldra, one of the gods who is said to have died in the pantheon upheaval a few months back.

Sid can confirm it is very possible no one, other than the fey, has been in this house since then either.

Zanderallen lays out an extra suit of armor for Micah, and takes off for the Gold level.

The rest of the Shields discuss the advisability of burning down the place.

Z covers a lot of ground pretty quickly, and arrives outside the Castle a sweaty, breathless mess.
Upon receiving his report, Lord Belkior takes the paladin to a side garden, and stands silently for a few moments, staring off into the distnace.
The is a 'poof', and two elderly looking people - a female gnome and a male elf - appear.
The gnome casts a spell, and all four teleport to the intersection of Grappling Hook Road and Robber's Run on the Fence Level, a few short blocks from Caerylon's house.

At the house, there is a popping sound, and a half orc in Catacombs livery appears.
"Delivery for the Silver Shields," he says, putting down a small box.
Inside the box is a purple potion with a ghostly spider crawling around on it.
The Shields instinctively understand this is a good thing.

The courier pops away, just as Zanderallen, Lord Paragon Belkior, a old female gnome, and an old male elf walk around the corner.

"All right," Belkior remarks. "What have we got here?"

Sid starts examining about the crystal to see if there are any traces of blood or anything from the ceiling. He also checks to see if there is an attic or other space above them. Since he has the time he's going to take it and be thorough.

After a quick examination of the space, Stock sits down outside, back against the wall and pulls out a hunk of oak to do some carving. He stops quickly when Z shows up again.

"Hey Lord Paragon Sir. Were there any other of those tree-fey other than the ones we put down? Just wondering how big of a group were gated in here...And I'll pass on that potion. The spider freaks me out a little. I mean don't get me wrong. I'll drink it sometime if asked, somebody else can carry it though."

With barely a moment to catch his breath Zanderallen leans against the outer wall of the building, glad the others are further explaining the problem. Once he gets his panting under control he suggests a holder for the potion, "It doesn't matter hugely who holds it, but in case of emergency it should be someone who can freely move about in a fight."

He then takes a moment to study the gnome and the elf that Belkior brought with him. From their method of travel he surmises them to be casters of some sort. They certainly looked the part of capable sages. He feels a little bad about not being able to offer more help, but recent roster changes had left the Shields lacking in arcane expertise.

Bartomus bowed when the Paragon appeared with his assistants and listened as the others talked. He nodded in agreement with Stohp's summary of their fight with the wood-armored fey. "Sir, they didn't even listen to our attempts to bring a peaceful solution and they had done a good deal of damage about the Float."

He then looked over the others into the shack as the focus turned to the embedded gem found within. "Which of the fey lords would be supporting this type of thing?"

Micah (John) HP: 84/84 AC: 17/12/17 CMD:20  
Monday October 19th, 2020 11:30:35 AM


Micah, to break up the monotony of guarding the house, accepts the delivery, tipping the half orc as he retrieves it. Observing the absence of any note, his eyes widen when he recognizes its function.

"Sid," he says, after the others have commented on the package, holding it toward the elf, "You should keep this potion as you are typically the most mobile."



When Zanderallen and the others arrive, he ushers them in with a gesture, allowing them to make their own observations and conclusions.


DM MikeK - Revelations 
Monday October 19th, 2020 12:49:32 PM

Prior to the arrival of Zanderallen and help, Sid takes a look for blood or something on the ceiling above the crystal. He also looks for an attic.
He finds neither.

With Lord Belkior and his companions on hand, The Shields explain about the fey and what they've found in the house.

Stock asks if other fey monsters had been found, and the paragon halfling shakes his head.
"No. I'm hearing nothing other than that group on Lakeview."

Bartomus asks about potential fey lords, and again Lord Belkior shakes his head.
"I don't know. I'll check in later with the Circle of Alder and see if they've got ideas."

The halfling looks again at the house.
"In the meantime, let's take a look.
Silver Shields, this is Fixer Gerrax and Dean Elandor, from the Sage's Guild."
Lord Belkior points out the gnome and elf, respectively.

The Shields note both the mages' eyes glow blue.

The trio make their way into the Crystal Room, set up a bunch of lights, and give the room and the crystal a look-see.
Then, they step out of the room, cast a bunch of spells, go back in, and really give it a going over.

Sid will note with satisfaction that none of them touch the crystal either.

After some time, they come out of the house, speaking quickly to each other.
The sages are nearly giddy, using words like "remarkable, unprecedented, astounding achievement, and fascinating"
Belkior isn't nearly so upbeat, going with "potentially catastrophic"
He dismisses the sages, who both cast a spell and leave with a "poof", and turns to the Shields.

"Our friend Caerylon is either a powerful caster of both arcane and divine spells, or has some interesting friends.
That crystal is a unique, magical artifact somehow linked to the divine aura of the late Caeroldra.
It serves as both anchor and gateway to another plane, mostly likely one created by Caerylon or his friends.
All of which would be, well not great, but at least not insanely dangerous, if Caeroldra were still alive.

Unfortunately, she isn't. And the power in the crystal is fading. Not very quickly, but fading nonetheless.
Which means the plane it's anchoring is also fading.

Best guess is those fey were living on that plane, and for some reason got caught up in the fading part, and were kicked out here.

Which would mean it could very well happen again.

And THAT means we need an intrepid band to go into this plane, evaluate what's there, and if necessary, take appropriate action to prevent it from showing up here."

"So," Lord Belkior says, giving everyone a significant look. "Any ideas on where I can find an intrepid band?"

"I hear the Drow are doing interesting things with adventuring these days," Sid says with mock sincerity before bursting into a grin, "Does this mean I can touch the Crystal now? I've been ever so good as to not just do something foolhardy and dangerous. Please? Oh, wait." He scribbles a note down and folds it up. "Are we going now? Oh man, Dorbin's gonna be soo jealous!"

If they are leaving now Sid has a letter to send to Elly letting her know what is going on that he would pass to Lord Belkior. Otherwise he bounces with excitement.

"Oh man, is there anyway for us to connect with whatever we find over there? I mean, if we can communicate and reason with the reasonable we might be able to peaceably relocate them if their demi-plane is going kaputs."

Zander listens gravely to the report given by the two sages. He wonders how long this crystal has been sitting here, active but not dangerous. And if the owner of this house might have ended up on the other side. But as some of the others start to get excited he offers a rare voice of restraint, "I think you might just be looking at such an intrepid band. But before we just go jumping into another plane. It is late, and the fight with the fey was not easy. Who knows what kind of beings we might encounter on the other side. I am sure Micah would appreciate the chance to petition Domi for an appropriate gift of powers. I say we head back home, grab the equipment we need, come back and rest here keeping watch, and go through the portal first thing in the morning."

Bartomus watched the preparation of the newly introduced companions to the Paragon and Lord Belkior as the spent time setting up lights and then from the outside filled the space with powers woven in words and movements. He just listened when they came back outside, but he watched mostly the response of the Paragon. What he saw was not comforting at all.

As Lord Belkior shared what he and his companions had discovered and in some ways reaffirmed what the Shields had suspected, Bartomus was concerned. "So there is a group of Fey, left alone you're saying, and without some guidance from one of the Fey court, part of that group suddenly gets dropped into the Float and start attacking everyone? Anyone else getting a little concerned about how they might react if we suddenly show up?"

He turned to the Paragon and asked, "So there's a way you and your colleagues can ensure that that plane is anchored to where it is? What about those, like Sid said, who are reasonable and want to relocate? Would we be able to offer them that? Oh, and that Council of Alders, I think Lord Belkior that may need to be something we have as pre-departure info if it involves the Fey. Lord Eberyon might be interested, right? That could be a good thing, right?"

Bartomus' tone was one of worry and concern. Upsetting one of the Fey lords or ladies, let alone Lord Eberyon was not anything that was on his "must do as a Shields" list.

"You should know by now, that we are in," Micah replies. "In addition to needing a little time to prepare for such a journey, we could use some assistance, primarily some information on how to use the crystal which I assume the sages have discerned. I would like to have a scroll of plane shift with the appropriately tuned fork should the crystal fail to provide a means of return. Preparing that scroll, however, would require a three day delay, assuming I can locate the tuning fork within that time."

DM MikeK - Questions and (some) Answers 
Tuesday October 20th, 2020 12:54:58 PM


The Shields have a great many questions, and Belkior tries to stay patient as he answers those he can.

"Yes, you can touch the crystal. In fact, that's how it activates. A drop of blood must be spilled on the crystal. My guess it that's why its pointy at the top."

"I don't what happens if you're in there when the plane collapses. We're just guessing that's what happened with these fey. I recommend you don't let that happen."

He turns to Micah.
"I will get you a scroll and tuning fork before morning. Also a boat, as you're just as likely to end up in the lake if you use it."

The halfling glances at Zanderallen, and etches a quick spell.
Everyone who is still hurt is healed of all but 1 hp.

"By all means, get your armor and get rested. This is a dangerous situation, and you need to be prepared as possible. But we do have a running clock, so if you could start no later than tomorrow morning, I'd appreciate it."

He looks at Bart with some sympathy, but can only shrug.
"All I know for sure is this plane is eroding, and that a little while ago eight fey creatures showed up in the middle of the Float, probably right here, and started killing everyone they saw. I would very much like that not to happen again.
I don't know if this is a fey issue.
I don't know why they acted like they did.
I don't know if there are more.
I don't know how you'll be received.
That's why I asking one of the more powerful groups I can fully trust to find out."

"It's not your mission to kill everything you find. Your mission is to prevent anything there from killing anyone here. You have complete leeway on how to accomplish that."

The halfling considers a bit.
"And no, we can't stop the erosion. The power holding it together is linked with Caeroldra. She's dead. Short of resurrecting a god, we've got nothing."

"Well, since the last resurrection took the will of the gods, I'm assuming that that's a no go," Once they have finished their plans Sid waves to everyone, "Well, since people need rest I've got some business to attend to I'll see you at the agreed upon time." He will stop by Torin Cook's and the Recycling/Trash Collection business to make sure that everything is alright and progressing well. He then heads home after getting food to cook for super and several bottles to make sure Elly is filled in on what is happening. In the morning he makes sure that he has the right things in his bag and is ready for adventure.

Stohp would much rather start now, but she doesn't argue the point if the others feel preparation is needed so badly. She spends the time getting various survival gear - no telling what climate or situation they're going into.

"So just to be clear, we don't HAVE to kill everything. But we CAN though right? I mean if it seems appropriate."

He helps the Shields gather their gear and is ready to go.

"We will enter the portal first thing in the morning. I don't want to leave this thing sitting any longer than is necessary either.", Zander shudders as the screams of the dying from earlier in the day echo in his mind, "Stock, we're entering a demi-plane created by the late goddess of passion. I trust you will use some discernment before smashing, but I suspect they will be plenty of smashing to keep you happy. Our first step will be threat assessment. Based on that we either try to convince whatever we meet to leave and go to a stable plane, await them being pulled in the portal and guided out of the Float if non-threatening, or neutralize. Thank you Paragon for your aid, you get us the scroll, we'll make sure no more citizens of the Float are harmed."

Zanderallen then coordinates with the others to get there gear from home while maintaining a guard on the portal. Once back he slides into his chainmail and prepares for an uncomfortable night of guard duty. Once the morning comes after completing his prayers he joins Micah to help each other suit up in their plate mail. "Everyone ready to go clean up Caerolda's playground?"

Zander has endurance so sleeping in medium armor will not fatigue him

The Shields prepare.
Sid takes care of some personal business, while Zanderallen and the others get their gear and set up a guard on the Crystal House overnight.

While Micah is at Shield HQ, there is another popping sound.
A dwarf with an eye patch, and in Catacombs livery holds out a shield.
"Delivery for Micah. Hope you have better luck shutting him up than we did."
The dwarf disappears.

Nothing unpleasant happens during the night.

Come morning, Belkior arrives.
He hands Micah a Scroll of Plane Shift, a tuning fork, and a feather.

"Its a Feather Token for a Swan Boat," the Paragon explains.
"If you don't use anything, I'd like the scroll back. You can keep the Feather Token. Call it an advance."

Everyone assembles outside the house, as there is not enough room inside.

Belkior motions extravagantly toward the door, and the crystal beyond.
"Sid, do you wish to do the honors, or shall I?"

Micah heads back to the quarters. Once in his chamber He lays out some incense and valuable spices in preparation for the divination ritual he wishes to conduct. He changes into his comfortable robe and sets down to prayer, petitioning for the ability to query his lord for insight.

He then begins the intricate components required in casting the divination spell, burning the incense and spices and weaving the ritual prayers to open the conduct between himself and the divine.


O Lord," he asks, "As we venture into this other plane, what dangers and foes should we be prepared to counter?"


After receiving his answer, Micah gathers his gear and goes to Caerlyn's house to share in the watch. He arises early, spending more time than usual, to prepare the spells he judges best for the upcoming journey.

He wasn't all that happy with the answers from Lord Belikor, but he really wasn't sure what to expect as everything was a complete unknown. However, as they went back to their headquarters and he went over the comments of the other Shields about what was found and what it could mean, he spent some time checking his gear and kit. When he awoke very early in the morning, he went to find his overlook of the lake and spent time meditating on what could await them. He also spent a good deal of time lifting his praises of Eberyon and asked for guidance in the realm of one of the other Fey lords. He also asked for some insight into ways to bring the reasonable back into the Float if that made sense.

He went back to headquarters, got his gear together, and made sure to have a good breakfast. He packed a few extra slabs of bread and some nuts for the other side as it would make the rations go a bit further if necessary. When the others were ready, he followed along with glaive in hand and a look of determination on his face.

He bowed and smiled at the Paragon when he joined them at the wreck of a shack that had been the source of the intruders and now as their door to where ever.

"Come on Sid, find us a nice quiet place with pretty flowers, no problems, and maybe some good breeze." He winked at the Paragon and said, "It can't hurt to dream, right?"

"We'll make sure the Float is safe Paragon. If you don't hear back from us and happen to have a planar rescue party somewhere feel free to spend them after us." Zanderallen fakes a solemn look but quickly looses it to a grin, at ease as always in the Paragon Lord's aura. He then turns to face the crystal, dropping his helmet into place and tightening armor straps. His voice takes on a serious note, "Alright everyone. For those of you who are newer or don't remember as clearly, we've dealt with followers of Caeroldra before. She was the goddess of passion, and she didn't really draw any lines on what that passion could be. Passion for debate is just as likely as passion for murder. We're now heading into possibly some personal playground of hers that is also falling apart at the seams, stay close and keep your wits about you. May Domi grant us courage and resolve." With a crash of steel in military salute Zanderallen follows Sid to the crystal.

Micah shares the results of his divination with the others. Stone men could be many things. The adamantine weapons some of us have may prove very useful

He nods his gratitude to the paragon with the items, carefully placing.

The new package Micah received was a new shield bearing as a device the holy symbol of Domi. When he unwrapped it, the shield began to glow with the intensity of a typical torch. The priest gazed at it for some time in wonder. After a while the shield stopped glowing, then Micah held it up for everyone to see, as he addresses them, "Meet my new companion. His..." Micah blinks in surprise, then says tentatively, "Her?" before continuing with a nod, "Her name is Ezer.

That morning after his prayers, Micah casts magic vestment on Ezer. The shield lights up again in response, eventually fading after a few moments.

Micah is ready to make the journey, standing near the paladin as he gives his speech. Apparently, his shield approved, as she, once again, glowed in approval.

The calm before the storm, the lull before battle. These times were the most dangerous for fear to take hold. Zander stares at the crystal, watching Sid apply his blood, completely unsure of what is about to happen. He smiles at Bart's joke but remains focused and quiet.

Friday October 23rd, 2020 1:52:49 PM

Sid enters the crystal room, slices open his hand, and grabs the crystal.

The Crystal glows with a bright blue light. A beam of blue shoots out, forming a blue vertical line on the opposite wall. That line expands right and left, as if sliding open a set of shutters.

Instead of a wall, there is now a wide gravel boulevard, lined with elm trees on either side, that leads straight to a rectangular stone building about 400’ away.

The sky is a cloudless blue.
The trees and grass a deep green.
Behind the trees, single story buildings of white stone line each side of the boulevard.
Think Greek architecture - wide stairs leading up to a column lined front
There are six buildings, three on each side of the boulevard.
The buildings appear to b 150' squares.

There are no people or animals visible.

It looks as if one can just walk onto the boulevard from the crystal room.

Micah stands a moment in awe at the inherent beauty of the scene that opened up before them. Not quite whispering, he comments, "After our dealings with the Hands of Love, it is easy to forget that Caerolda was an admirer of great beauty." He sighs before continuing, "But alas, it appears another of her beautiful creations imperils the Float. Resolutely he steps forward, a mischievous smile on his face as he manages to beat both Stock and Zanderallen in being the first one to charge forward.

Bartomus watched as another place appeared. It was still strange to see how such things just happened like this on the Float and he couldn't help but feel awed. Then he watched Micah jump forward and onto the boulevard beyond.

[b]"It's beautiful. Any idea as to what each of the buildings might be representing? Some attribute or devotional of this Caerolda?" He asked and waited to hear any answer, but didn't wait all that long before following those that stepped into the world beyond the Float.

Stock flicks away a fleck of blood remaining on his hand from the crystal and takes a few steps to spread out a little. "Somebody was good working with stone. Might be marble..."

He begins walking forward, senses on alert.

His mouth gaping a little bit at the beauty of the scene in front of them, Zander almost automatically begins walking forward as the others start moving. He pauses ever so briefly, as if expecting something to happen, as he takes his first step onto the boulevard. "Passion can create a great many beautiful things. I wonder what led Caeroldra to create this plane, and what she put in those buildings? Guess we better go find out." He settles back into his place at the front, leading towards the nearest of the buildings.

As Micah advances with the others, he finds his eyes drawn to the blue of the sky. Except on the upper level, blue sky is a rarity in the Float. For a moment, he revels in its clear, pure beauty, before reminding himself that danger could be hiding nearby. He sighs at the contradiction in emotions.

Sid stares in awe then shock as Micah cheekily strides forward, "Hey!" He hurries after, but before stepping over switches to Branwen and Steps over into the otherside, hoping it stays so pretty, his eyes peeled for anything coming their way.
