A Chance to Regroup (DM Cayzle) Tuesday September 24th, 2019 9:35:41 PM
As they did the day before, the heroes fly up the pit and "camp" in a Mage's Mansion. They discuss what will be needed to assault the Burning Land of Maegos. Is it then a straight-up fight that you seek? Will you bring the crystal roses with you? If so, who will carry them, and in a dimensional container? If not, where and how will you stash them?
Any divinations of other spells you guys wish to cast before heading back in?
Are you bringing the permanent telepathy head spikes with you?
Emrys Myrridanmyl, stephen f. ac20 hp109/109. rituals: Warding, Spiritual Healing, Contingency: BoL. Bless. Tuesday September 24th, 2019 10:40:40 PM
Emrys and Daemon fly up and out of the pit with the rest. The doorway to the magic mansion is a most welcome sight. He is more fatigued that usual. Never has he cast such powerful spells; their drain was more than expected. He now understands how his father tried to described the feeling; and that there was no good description. He collapses into a comfortable chair and signals for one of the servants to bring him his wine. "Don't move with that bottle ... I'm not done yet!"
After the first bottle, he begins to ponder the things he saw today .. the things they collected. The fact that Luck Stones, extraordinary and of exception quality they were .... "why were they the eyes of that undead garlic?!"
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 129/130, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Wednesday September 25th, 2019 7:27:00 PM
V sits back and relaxes in a comfortable chair. looking forward to a tasy meal he doesn't actually need to eat, a glass of wine he definitely wants to drink, and a bath he absolutely needed.
"Do we want to undertake a full out assault right off the bat? I'm not sure if that's the wisest course of action. I think perhaps we give Maegos the same option we gave Kelesandria. Cease all activities outside of your realm, or will do it for you. We may have a much more difficult time with Maegos, as his golems are not likely effected by spells as the plant people were."
"Do we take the flowers? I'm not keen on taking them in, but at the same time i would not feel secure leaving them out here while not in our possession....Unless I teleport them back to the Manor and leave them there."
Lanliss Drakeguard Michael A; AC: 26 (T 19, FF 18), CMD:31 HP:120 /141 Wednesday September 25th, 2019 7:35:21 PM
Lanliss clears his boots from the mud and other debris. He tries to clean his cloths partially successful. "Do we tell him we killed her ?, what about a plan ?" Lanliss asks while still trying to make his appearance (clothes wise). "In the end I should have not disguised myself with all the stuff I found", he thinks out loud (and says). He then proceeds to throw down a stick he finally managed to get from his. "that was a itchy one" , he thinks as he continues.
AC 24/ T24/ F21 CMD23. HP 136/136 Tishe’ (SteveK) Wednesday September 25th, 2019 7:40:46 PM
“Sure we take the Roses”, says Tishe’ with a smile, “ but we lock them up, too. I’ll just put them in my Pants o Plenty in the morning and when we go into Maegos’ realm, the extra-dimensional pockets don’t work. Might as well make the crazy Tecuri rules work for us on this pattern. “
She considers Barratorre and Velarin’s ideas, and reluctantly... sides with the Minotaur. “No use if we are just gonna take his armor at the end anyways. Maybe after we beat Braella, Sieur Edson and Sieur Lanliss can find the secret entrance so we can bypass everything and jus get to the throne room?”
“And a Wind Walk Spell we can bypass the geysers and Swarms.”
“And Sieur Velarin, are there any Spell changes you can do to your normal study for better effect against constructs?”
(Dan K) AC: 36 (T 16 FF 26), CMD:42; HP: 227/227 Barratore Steelwind Wednesday September 25th, 2019 9:41:50 PM
Barratore listens to V, but he's no longer inclined to talk to anyone. "Talking compromises us." He turns to Lanliss, "Sure, we totally tell him as we carry out the plan. Put an end to him and take his armor"
Barratore nods as Tishe talks, "That's right the secret passage he showed us to get out quickly. Bloody brilliant Tishe." Barratore does inhale and sour look crosses his snout, "Nothing we have thought seems to really carry through and I am nervous about bringing in the flowers in an extra dimensional space with the premise that we think there is no way to access it. We can't, but can he?"
Barratore continues, "What if we left the roses inside a mansion. The spell lasts over a day, and only those V says can go in can. Thoughts?"
Emrys Myrridanmyl, stephen f. ac20 hp109/109. rituals: Warding, Spiritual Healing, Contingency: BoL. Bless. d20+32=39 ; Wednesday September 25th, 2019 10:14:42 PM
Curiosity takes Emrys over and after a quick gaze of Guidance (witch ability), he casts Detect Magic and attempts to discern why the three luck stones are so special. (Knowledge [Arcana]: 39+2 = 41)
A Chance to Regroup (DM Cayzle) Wednesday September 25th, 2019 11:43:23 PM
Safe in the magical mansion, Emrys unwinds and ponders the imponderable. He considers the three magical gem-eyes, and detects that they are each tied to the three crystalline flowers. While the flowers last, the gems cannot be destroyed. Once the flowers are destroyed, each eye can be used once to cast a Wish spell.
Velarin suggests an alternate approach to Maegos, and he wonders what the party should do with the crystal flowers. Maybe leave them at the party Manor?
Lanliss relaxes and worries at his dirty garb. It seems hard for your Dungeon Master to honestly believe, however, that such mundane concerns are at issue for a hero of the 17th level of puissance. Surely the invisible master servants of the mansion would clean and mend and buff and shine as needed, from boots to buttons! But be that as it may, Lanliss also worries at the plan for Maegos, wondering what to tell the master smith.
Tishe’ thinks that Braella will have to be beaten again, and that the dungeon will need to be re-run, unless you can find the back door. And put the flowers in an extra dimensional space?
Barratore suggests leaving them here in the Mansion, and heading in for a fight and the secret passage.

Brom rests in the mansion. He doesn't have much of an opinion on what to next.
AC 24/ T24/ F21 CMD23. HP 136/136 Tishe’ (SteveK) Thursday September 26th, 2019 10:39:17 AM
Clean (yes!), fed, and resting, Tishe’ nods. “I think if we put it anywhere, it is not completely safe. I mean, if he can get minions out and detect the magic emanations of the Mansion, they could dispel it and capture the Roses that way. Even the Powers are not completely safe when you remember Margos’ comments about Kelivar and Marteus! Having them with us at least means Maegos has to go through us to get them in the first place. “
“I thought about announcing we have the Roses and get escorted to Maegos, but we never seem to have good luck with hidden threads. Most likely, we would just have to fight everyone at once!”
Edson Kazil - Shawn R; AC: 28 (T 21, FF 20), CMD: 24 HP: 18/103 Thursday September 26th, 2019 7:13:46 PM
Edson eats and relaxes. He listened for his part of the next plan, but otherwise took it easy.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 129/130, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Thursday September 26th, 2019 7:14:23 PM
"I will have to agree with Tishe' Barratore. The safest place for the roses is back home or with us. I could teleport back with them leave them safe there...For that matter. We could all teleport back. Time is not of the essence in this instance for a change. We actually have the time, for the first time I can remember, the option to go back, purchase some additional potions, scrolls, anti-golem stuff, update Lord Hmitri as to what is going on in case it goes bad, and then return when ready. If we all get wiped out, the Cinnamon Valley has no idea what is going on here. I would definitely like some more potions and scrolls before attempting this. Maegos is likely to be more difficult than Kelasandria."
Lanliss Drakeguard Michael A; AC: 26 (T 19, FF 18), CMD:31 HP:120 /141 Thursday September 26th, 2019 8:58:03 PM
Lanliss is happy to find his cloths clean like new. The unseen things in this mansion are truly magnificent, to think that they even cleaned his super suitable for camouflage cloths. "The wonders of magic", Lanliss wonders/muses/thinks. Lanliss agrees with Velarin only adding the obvious. "If we go back there after stocking everything, we should except a welcoming party, a deadly one."
(Dan K) AC: 36 (T 16 FF 26), CMD:42; HP: 227/227 Barratore Steelwind Thursday September 26th, 2019 9:14:56 PM
Barratore agrees with the keeping of the roses with the party. "I am not concerned about a minion being summoned to the mountains, who penetrates the mines, navigates the lake of magicless death, defeats the time elemental and then is powerful enough to dispel one of V's mightiest spells, but I see no reason to press it. No way we leave them at the manor. They go with us. I agree with Lanliss the only drawback i see to the time is on our side idea is that is seems to me, in order for those two to have hated each other so much, they have to be aware of the other. We just killed her correct? I think we should operate under the impression that he knows that and is putting precautions and defenses in place. Even though us bringing him the roses and thus putting an end to her is what he wants. He knows we are highly capable and will be on the highest of alert when we go in.."
Barratore pauses, "Which then leads back to what V was saying, returning for some special supplies for what we know of his defenses seems prudent. I think we should follow that course. Maegos is not 'going' anywhere. We should be at the top of our game."
Emrys Myrridanmyl, stephen f. ac20 hp109/109. rituals: Warding, Spiritual Healing, Contingency: BoL. Bless. Thursday September 26th, 2019 10:20:21 PM
Emrys informs the rest what he learned about the crystal flowers and their connection to the Wish Stones.
"Very enlightening indeed! While the flowers exist, these Wish Stones can not be destroyed. Once the Flowers are destroyed, each of the tree Wish Stones can be used to grant a Wish. This opens new doors of possibilities, wouldn't you say?! Perhaps something quite useful against the 2nd evil ex."
Emrys gazes deeply into the marvelously crafted wish stones and says, "Afterwards they would make fine paper weights, a nice conversation piece ... a lovely gift."
Daemon then chimes in ... "Why not wissh for a giant gemsstone worthy of an immortal ... and make a SSoul Trap for Maegoss. You were sscheming that tactic earlier!"
"Spoiler, Daemon! I was about to get to that. Yes, if done properly, Maegos merely touching the gemstone would complete the casting of the spell and his resistances would be useless. He'd be trapped within the gem for eternity ... for as long as the gem exists."
A Chance to Regroup (DM Cayzle) Thursday September 26th, 2019 11:52:39 PM
The heroes talk about next steps. Visit the Catacombs, and come back extra prepped? Keep the flowers close by? All good ideas, but it is time to make some decision.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 129/130, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Friday September 27th, 2019 9:53:08 AM
Let us return home for a short bit then. I can teleport a total of 5 people plus me in one shot, or 3 plus barratore and me, because he's so big he counts as two. Therefore, I come up one short for a single trip. I have a scroll someone else can use to get a couple people home, or i can just make multiple trips, assuming that I can teleport back to this location once I study it for returning purposes. If i can teleport out, I should be able to teleport back.
Unless opposed, V will carefully study the lair of the time elemental and then take everyone but Emrys and Barratore on trip one, then immediately return for Emrys and Barratore for trip two.

While worried Meagos will have something besides bones up his metal sleeve if left for too long, Tishe’ agrees that keeping The Pitchfork council informed is prudent. She agrees with Velarin's plan.
“And Sieur Emrys has an interesting idea too. We can try it if everyone thinks it has a possibility of working.
Lanliss Drakeguard Michael A; AC: 26 (T 19, FF 18), CMD:31 HP:120 /141 Friday September 27th, 2019 8:43:44 PM
Lanliss agrees as well not having any plan that seem better than informing the council and restocking afterwards.
A Chance to Regroup ... WHEN? (DM Cayzle) Monday September 30th, 2019 11:07:50 AM
With the caster power in the group, two teleportish magics are no difficult matter. Velarin takes everyone but Emrys and Barratore. Emrys thus moves himself and his large friend to the designated refuge that is your manor. Velarin, please roll the standard Teleport chance for error ... on a d100, that's 98-99 for being off target, and 00 for going to a very similar location.
[OOC: Your DM does not see any name for it other than "The Manor" -- are there details I am missing?]
However, teleporting from the Temple of Time, near a place where dimensional magics are disrupted, proves problematic. Maybe it would have been better to have open sky overhead when the spells were cast ...
Emrys leading one group, and Velarin leading the other, find that their paths diverge as the dimensional magics warp and weave.
Each of you, also please roll separately for WHEN your group arrives. 2d6-7 ... -5 to +5 days from the present. 0 = arrives the same day the spell was cast. Roll a d2 and a d12 to see the time of day you arrive.
Keep in mind that you have been underground for several days, and may or may not be surprised when you arrive. But Velarin's group may be surprised that Emrys' group does not immediately follow, and Emrys's group may be surprised not to find Velarin's group when you arrive. Unless Velarin's group finds Emrys's group waiting?! Or maybe Velarin's group will be already there when Emrys's arrives? Hmmm ... confusing!
Note that attempts to teleport back to the Temple always fail. The only way to return is through the front doors.

(Teleport Time Roll 2d6-7: -3 ... 3 days in the past? At d2=2, d12=11)
Emrys and Barratore arrive at the Manor House. The process felt instantaneous to them. They have no idea that they time traveled. He does wonder what he saw in the threads of time space. Two guys in a glass box with the word "telephone" written on the side. "What's a telephone?"

(teleport %=29)(-3 on the time roll)
V waits to see where and when they arrive. If anything is out of the ordinary for a teleport, V chides himself for having the intelligence of an Ogre and not thinking that teleporting from the time elementals lair might not be a great idea.

Barratore has nothing to give on this one. They were underground, in and out other dimensions and spent multiple days in V's magical mansion. The fact that it is night does not phase him, he'll never know about time travel.
"Well given the time, I suppose we call it right now and get going first thing tomorrow."

Lanliss awaits for the teleport to happen. When arriving in the old place. Lanliss will look around for the rest. Asking, "where is Emrys and Barratore?" Perception 34
A Chance to Regroup ... WHEN? (DM Cayzle) Tuesday October 1st, 2019 12:07:52 AM
So let's say you all have regrouped, at midnight two days ago. You will probably rest at the Manor? Maybe you do not even know that it is the past. Though that hour delay before Emrys and Barratore arrived is troubling?
What do you do in the morning?
(Dan K) AC: 36 (T 16 FF 26), CMD:42; HP: 227/227 Barratore Steelwind Tuesday October 1st, 2019 5:23:33 PM
Barratore would like to divide any treasures gathered thus far and sell them in the Catacombs. "I'm not a fan of using wishes to create an elaborate trapping gem to try and trap Meagos. We don't know if he has a soul as we know it. His life, like the woman's could be tied to the armor and the demi plane. I don't like our chances in getting him to fall for the rouse in the first place. He almost certainly knows Kasandra is dead and we are the only candidates to have done it. He is a pretty bright, nearly immortal mage. My vote he knows the spell and wont be accepting any big gems as gifts."
Barratore shakes his head, "Far better uses of wish spells, like bringing back the dead or changing such psychotic joke inflicted upon us by Warrd."
"I need to hit the Catacombs regardless and get a few things."
Barratore heads out, one because he does need some stuff and two, he figures last one without something to do will have to play paige boy and report to the council
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 129/130, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Tuesday October 1st, 2019 7:12:44 PM
V chides himself for having the intelligence of an Ogre and not thinking that teleporting from the time elementals lair might not be a great idea once he realizes that it should not be night. He will inform the others. "I perhaps made a miscalculation by not leaving the elementals lair before we ported. It would seem that time and space were likely warped somewhat. We will give the others some time to arrive before we start the search for them."
After everyone is back, relaxed, and cleaned up, V agrees with Barratore regarding the catacombs. And then Seeing Barratore exit stage left, he quickly volunteers to assume his usual role of dealing with the catacombs, and allowing others to go chat with the council.

The party pauses to split up loot. Let us assume that all transactions are complete, so that there is no delay of game.
Note that you also have the head-spikes from the metal lord, which supposedly connect everyone who has implanted them via telepathic communication.
Also note that the wish-eyes are worth 80,000 gp each once the flowers are destroyed.
You also mentioned connecting with the local ruling council? Who is doing that, and to whom are they reaching out?
AC 24/ T24/ F21 CMD23. HP 136/136 Tishe’ (SteveK) Wednesday October 2nd, 2019 5:24:24 AM
Tishe’ doesn’t realize anything is amiss until Velarin Points it out, they lost a couple of days. That, however, makes her excited: “We have 2 days to prepare and teleport back before Maegos knows we are gone!”
Tishe’ composes a short letter to the leader of Magpie Crossing and the local member of the Pitchfork council: Lord Hmitri. In it she tells him that the Keepers are home for a couple days and have important news on their whereabouts. Would he be interested in coming to the Manor for dinner? She seals the note and gives it to One of the Flett boys to deliver, and asks Glenda to get the food and preparations for the Keepers, Staff, and about six guests. (Anticipating Hmitri will have an advisor and a bodyguard or two).
At the Manor in Magpie Crossing, there is no relaxation for the Spellweaver. It is off to maya’s treasures and the secret entrance to The Catacombs! She speaks friendly-wise to old Maya, but tries not to let her tongue get the better of her until they are able to speak with Lord Hmitri.
Then it is cleaning up and helping to set the table. Tishe’ knows the only thing that someone can trust her with when it comes to preparing food is fetching the water to boil, so she tries to stay out of the kitchen in preparations.

Lanliss packs his stuff and plans to visit the catacombs. The wands are quite useful even though he is not a magic user by birth. He wonders what wands he can afford to buy this time.
Emrys Myrridanmyl, stephen f. ac20 hp109/109. rituals: Warding, Spiritual Healing, Contingency: BoL. Bless. Wednesday October 2nd, 2019 11:58:37 AM
Emrys isnt interested in any of the gear. He already has more powerful versions of what is available on the table.
Barratore makes an interesting point. The nails that Maegos had given them could be used as censors to scry on them. He should probably perform some magical tests and divinations of his own. But it is probably best if we keep them in a lead box for the moment.
Edson Kazil - Shawn R; AC: 28 (T 21, FF 20), CMD: 24 HP: 18/103 Wednesday October 2nd, 2019 8:03:21 PM
Edson shakes his head at any of the treasure. " Those wishes scare me.. so many ways to lose on that deal."
Edson will go to the council.. only if someone else goes to speak.
(Dan K) AC: 36 (T 16 FF 26), CMD:42; HP: 227/227 Barratore Steelwind Wednesday October 2nd, 2019 9:21:33 PM
Barratore heads to the Catacombs and picks up some potions and a scarab for fighting golems. Upon returning, he's delighted that Tishe and the others have taken care of reporting to the council.
"Unless anyone has anything, we should port back to the mine entrance and make our way down. Emrys's recall wont work, so transit is on you V. Once we get back across the lake, we make a mansion and plan our assault."
A Chance to Regroup ... WHEN? (DM Cayzle) Wednesday October 2nd, 2019 10:00:31 PM
Tishe's message is sent to Hmitri, and the fellow you send to deliver it returns with a reply: "Of course, I would be pleased to dine with you noble heroes."
The Manor is a hustle-bustle of preparations. Meanwhile, you visit the Catacombs and make purchases. Barratore cleverly buys an anti-golem item.
[OOC: Please keep in mind that you HAVE to break all three flowers before using or selling the wish-eyes. Do not go to the Catacombs to sell them, please. They are nonstandard fate items, not the kind that stick to you, but also your usual Catacombs item. You have to find a buyer in game.]
Emrys spends some time analyzing the Telepaspikes. They cannot be used for scrying, because scrying only finds creatures, and clairvoyance only finds places. Locate Object and equivalent would find them, without scrying ... but with wishes on the table, almost anything is possible. There's the old standby of the paranoid hero, Detect Scrying, if you have that available ...
With time and full divination available, it is clear that the Telepaspikes work as advertised: Tap one into your skull, and then you have perfect private telepathy with everyone else who has a spike. But a thought may occur: what if Maegos did not give all the spikes in the set to you? What if he held one or two back?

Ooc: Brom doesn't want any of the treasure.
Brom gets a bath the next day. He also collects some rations and a normal pack for items so he doesn't lose access to them in the pocket dimension. He will also ask one of the spellcasters to place a fire protection spell in his ring of storing.

At the Catacombs, Tishe’ does her shopping
At dinner, she helps recount the issue with what’s going on above the Cinnamon valley border. “It’s a Teucri artifact that has kept two warring wizards from the Second Age still alive and warring in a love/hate knot. The Teucri artifact that keeps them alive also is projecting their suspicions and hate to the mountain communities. This both turns people crazy and attracts evil things that like that feeling. We are gonna go back and stop those wizards which should enable Good things to return to the mines and villages.”
And in the morning, she is ready to return. “I have 4 scrolls of Acid Arrow at 15CL, and 2 scrolls of wind wall. Just in case!”

Emrys needs to know if they are being spied upon. He doesn't know a spell that detects scrying or other divinations ... only to redirect or hide from such prying eyes. However he has learned to manipulate powerful magic energies to anything he possibly desires. It's an awesome ability and he fears the corruption of wielding such power, but he sees no other course of action. He's been given the gift ... he might as well use it.

Brom takes a bath and gets his mundane gear prepped while waiting for the loot split.
Velarin heads off to the Catacombs.
Tishe’ shops too.
Edson lends a hand with the chores around the Manor.
Baratore compares shopping experiences and offers advice.
Paranoid or perfectly practical, Emrys uses mighty magic to ensure that if anyone scries on the party, he will know of it.
That evening, the heroes have dinner with Hmitri, and Tishe’ takes the lead in explaining what the party has learned.
“I have no doubt,” Hmitri says, “that many foul ageless things found refuge in the Dread for many years, sheltered by the liches and evil magicians among the Sons. Now that the Dreadlich is gone and the Sons dead or dispersed, it is good to see heroes such as yourselves purging that land. Maybe more honest folk will start to settle there, and eventually cure the land of its contagion. It is the gods' work you are doing here, my friends.”
He has one more suggestion: After you are done, do what you can to bless the land and consecrate it for the cause of life.

Tishe’ thanks Lord Hmitri for both the insight on why the secrets of the mountain (and many other things in the Dread) have been lost or unknown. Why, from stories the original group of Keepers say, this isn’t the first time they have ventured into the Dread to do some cleansing!
Although a trained performer, Tishe’ isn’t in the mood for song nor dance, her mercurial attention for the moment focused on a clear objective!
“Sieur Emrys, I hadn’t thought about it, but I know the spell ‘Detect Scrying’. I can even prevent Scrying (and she casts Mages Sanctum now). That white-handed treadle Skalipy was so tricksy, My magics morphed to the needs of the Sunrise Song”
Prepped with rest, equipment, and knowledge, Tishe’ is ready the next morning for Velarin and Emrys to ‘port them back to the mountain entrance.

V returns from the catacombs and avoids the festivities with a quick Dim Door to the sleeping quarters. He then pulls 7 bags from from his bag of holding for the group and deposits them in each persons room with a note. "They are all equal at 13,233.28 gold per bag. Happy shopping! I assume we shall leave on the morrow. Following Breakfast of course."
The wizard then returns to his room to clear his mind and focus on the task ahead, planning his spell preparation before meditating to prepare for memorizing the new spell list.

"The lands do feed off of the energies of the creatures living within them." Barratore nods as he comments on what Lord Hmittri says. "Once we put an end to Meagos, we might be able to do something, the burden lifted from the villages and the Land might start healing."
Barratore thanks Hmittri and any other guests that stopped in.
Barratore thinks the flowers, the roses should be destroyed sooner rather than later. "the existence of the flowers could be allowing her to reconstitute herself."
If the group agrees, he also feels it should be done well outside of town. He and or Brom could have a few protections upon them, Deathward, Fire, cold and such and then set to destroying the crystal flowers. The rest of the group could remain at medium range, say 120' feet and assist if needed
A Chance to Regroup ... WHEN? (DM Cayzle) Sunday October 6th, 2019 10:30:08 PM
The next day -- still a day BEFORE you teleported home, you guesstimate -- the party gathers outside of town on the road north.
Tishe', Emrys, and Velarin cast a range of protections on Barratore and Brom. Edson and Lanliss stand guard. The two hulking brutes of the party step forward to shatter the crystalline flowers. They seem to have a very deep innate hardness. But with sufficient hard thwacks, even these magical creations crack and then shatter.
The wish stones now glow, you see when you check them.

V eyes the destruction of the flowers warily until the task is done. "Maegos will likely know or sense that the flowers have been destroyed. If that is the case, he will likely know that we are coming for him."
V casts detect magic, and examines the stones closely to learn all he can about them(spellcraft check 50)
Once the group is ready, he will study the groups current location, and teleport half the group to the front doors of the mines, and then return, get the other half, and take them as well. (teleport rolls 2,76,73)

Once there, he readies himself and puts on his game face.
Potential Paradox?! (DM Cayzle) Monday October 7th, 2019 11:55:39 PM
Emrys thanks and congratulates Brom and Barratore for dealing with the flowers. And yes, their destruction ensures that Kelsandria cannot come back from death. At long last she is ended.
Typically, Brom does not revel in kudos. He is already thinking about the next challenge.
Lanliss watches carefully as Velarin confirms what Emrys discovered. Each glowing fist-sized stony eye can be used to cast a Wish. The value is 80,000 to the right buyer.
Edson is ready for the fight against Maegos.
Velarin teleports the group successfully to the mine entrance. You make your way to the Temple. The Time Elemental seems highly amused to see you. You notice the entrance to the Mage’s Mansion here at the top of the pit. Indeed, you realize that although you went back in time three days, only two nights have elapsed since you came back. Indeed, “you” are likely battling Kelsandria at this very moment. What will happen if “you” of the present are here when the “you” of the past emerge from the pit?

Barratore swaps some potions to a normal pack and drops a score of arrows into a normal quiver so he has access to them in the pocket dimension
Barratore wants to head down and into Meagos lands immediately. "If V and Emrys are right and we are here before we left, then Meagos may not know we destroyed her. Our twist of fate in teleporting home might be our greatest advantage. I say we get down there, DeathWard Brom and I and go in and get this done."

Tishe’ nods at Barratorre’s suggestion. “Down, in, out and not linger. The chances of crossing threads if we don’t stay put is small. Let’s weave! But,” she suggests, “a quarter of the circle around.”
Tishe’ has everyone that wants move a quarter circle to the right from the path the heroes normally take, touch in a circle for one cast of Feather Fall, and she waits for Velarin’s nod before walking into the pit.

"Agreed Barratore. And if we are fighting Maegos while we are also fighting Kelsandria, there is a great chance that Maegos will not be expecting us yet, and less of a chance of running into ourselves. Not sure if that would be a bad idea or not, but definitely one I'd like to avoid testing."
V moves his gear to non-dimensional locations, and casts an extended fly and an extended resist energy upon himself. He offers a fly potion to any that might need one depending on what Tishe' and Emrys cast. "I have three more resist energies, and then Tishe' or Emrys will need to cover the last three of us.

"Things could become strange if we run into our future selves. If we are unable to convince us that we are actually they, then we could be in for a fight with ourselves!

You heroes are clever indeed! You decide to descend the pit and enter Maegos's realm while your past selves are still dealing with Kelsandria! And by avoiding yourselves in this way, you avoid the dangers of paradox.
You make your way down, and you enter the realm of heat.
Through the door again, you see the two hulking golems -- but no Braella.
The golems bow to you. Evidently you are expected and welcome?

The whole idea of arriving before you left and two of the group at the same time made Brom's head hurt. He did have a thought he shared with V. Would the immortals be able to see into both realms? Did this guy know of our earlier arrival and the effects of time here? And so does he know we beat her already? Or maybe this was always to happen this way?

Barratore thanks V for the spell, and nods to the Stoneskin as well. Not being sure how long the Deathward lasts, he refrains from asking about that

Maegos Smiles (DM Cayzle) Thursday October 10th, 2019 11:58:38 PM
Recap: You entered the realm of heat two days ago, saw the golems, and they bowed. Yesterday you looked for the secret entrance to Maegos's throneroom -- recall that's how he showed you to the exit last visit. You found the secret way, found it relatively easy to navigate, and followed it to the throneroom.
Maegos's throneroom is a huge underground chamber that has one corner devoted to his forge, one corner devoted to his "museum" of things on display ... looks mostly like stuff he crafted, weapons, works of art, a ... a spoon? and is that a metallic chess set?
The last corner of the chamber has the throne. It looks quite comfy and lived in, even a little shabby, and there's a folding table built into it, looks like.
In addition to Maegos himself, an armored medium person, you are in the throneroom with the two golems from the entrance (they followed you) as well as Maegos's four bodyguard golems.
Meagos looks disappointed when Emrys says they have not had a chance to use the telepathy items. "Well, I hope you find time soon. They really are among my best creations.

Tishe’ had good intentions to keep her mouth shut, but the lack of discussion from the other Keepers, Maegos’ eloquence, and her own mercurial attention combine to make her inner promise moot.
“Maegos, we have them but in a safe place. You and Kalesandria have wrecked the region of the Wold with your animosity, so we are going to resolve the issue. We have the Roses. You give us your Armor and we will take it from this Teucri Artifact, so neither of you have the possibility of being controlled by the other. We are giving you this chance to agree.”
Unconvinced that Maegos will agree, She waits for the violence to begin.

Maegos answers Tishe', "Sure, I got plenty of armor. You can have this set. But what do I get in return? So far as I can figure out, you are demanding something from me and offering ... what? That you won't kill me? I thought heroes like you guys did not use extortion and threats? Or is there a side of this deal that would make me happy?"
"Also, what do you mean, 'Wreck the Wold?' Sure Kelsandria had her little kidnapping games, so you might take issue with that, as I did. But all I do is sometimes send golems out to mine. What wrecking do you mean, seriously?"

Barratore has nothing further, though he does not believe the 'armor' being handed over is of the same nature as the flowers from K. Unlike K, Meagos is accepting the terms and therefore the hero in him wants to believe Meagos and so he is fine but wary. At this exact moment, The Keepers are battling K, or at least moving through her realm and within a day or so from now, Meagoes will surely know of her destruction. How he reacts will be something to keep attention on. For now, Barratore is happy to accept the armor and exit the realm.

I have enough ore on hand, and I can make more by casting Wall of Iron. I will add that I agree primarily because I fear you. Congratulations, heroes, you have cowed me. Farewell ... but not too well! Forgive me if I lock the door after you depart."
Lanliss also has the idea that he is sincere, though grudgingly, and that Maegos may think that he has a card up his sleeve.

Before they go, Lanliss bows to Meagos and says "Farewell Meagos, Armor Lord, Master Craft-smith of ore" After they go out Lanliss will rapidly tell the group about his hunch that Meagos might have a card up his sleeve...that he might have an advantage on them or he has an idea of how to beat them or have a revenge.

In two days, they are going to walk into Maegos realm. What if somehow, Maegos knew of the time discrepancy? Why would he fight us if he knew that another us would shortly follow, and he could be ready for them. Already knowing what they wanted and how they would act, he could prepare a very nice trap."
"On top of that, our two day ago selves are about to go back home, and do the exact same things that we did two days ago. Including calling on Lord Hmitri. The people there are going to think we have lost our minds. I am not quite sure how to deal with this, but I think we might need to intercept ourselves as we come out of Kelsandrias realm. This is completely screwed up. Us and them are not supposed to exist at the same time. We are probably going to have to chance some sort of paradox, or never be anywhere for more than two days, when our past selves show up and make everyone wonder if we are crazy."

"This is how I see things. On Friday we destroyed K and that afternoon we teleport home, arriving Wednesday night. We did things on Thursday and Friday morning we teleport back here and visited Meagos. It is now Friday about noon. In about an hour or so, other us pop out and teleport home to last Wednesday night. We need verify that it happens and the only way to do that is to have eyes on the portal. None of us are so perceptive that we would notice an invisible Edson over 100 feet away. Heck, we wouldn't notice me. Edson could be in the pit with us and not be noticed. We came out of K's with Light, Edson looking down the shaft will not be noticed and he can verify the conversation we had about teleport and Word of Recall to get everyone and that other us leave. We wouldn't even notice an invisible me, let alone Edson."
Barratore looks at the rogue, "So hop to it. You're not there to meet us, just spy on us. Go invisible, use those stealth skills and keep an eye and ear out." Barratore smiles, "You'll be fine."

"Are you up to it ?", Lanliss asks Edson, regarding Barratore's idea. "We might need more advice from the time elemental...otherwise I have a fear", Lanliss adds and stops before continuing. "What if this time flow paradox continues ?", Lanliss asks his friends. He faces Emrys and says "Even if we hide in Culverwoods, We will have TWO KEEPERS...hanging around in the WOLD ", he face palms his face....showing his frustration and utter confusion from the situation.
Paradoxical Encounter? (DM Cayzle) Monday October 21st, 2019 11:38:21 PM
Emrys and Edson hesitate, thinking it wise to NOT encounter your past selves.
Baratorre and Lanliss are willing to at least SPY on the past, but not confront.
But "you" have not yet emerged from the pit after defeating Kelsandria ... although you will doubtless emerge soon ... so Velarin suggests consulting the time elemental, and Tishe' agrees with that.
You seek out the time elemental, and you find it in a nook, quiescent. When you approach and call out, the swirling cloud of reddish-yellow vapor emerges, but then flinches away from you.
"Nnoooooo," it howls as it perceives you. "Yoouuuu aaarrreee paaarraaddoooooxx! Iiiitt iiiss taaabboooo!"
Evidently it can sense that you exist in Simultaneity, and the being of Time does not like the situation. It almost seems hostile, but it hears you out.
Velarin explains the situation. The elemental evidently thinks poorly of the idea that you might be close, even if out of sight, to your doppelgängers. Its advice is (for once) unambiguous.

There are things Brom understands and things he doesn't. What is going on is confusing to him. His instinct tells him to stay away from the mine, the pit, all of it. He doesn't wish to spy on the place or be within eye or ear shot.
He points out to his large friend that while he couldn't see an invisible minotaur from 100-ft he could most definitely be heard. And it is that risk he doesn't want to take.
Brom only sums up his thoughts on it. "It's happened already. And will happen. Nothing happened when we did it before to make us make the decisions we made so watching it unfold only creates risk."
If the group will not stay clear, Brom heads off into the wilds alone. He cannot take the risk his instincts tell him is bad and forcing them would draw too much attention.

Barratore snorts and spits. "Smells to me like we are trying to have it both ways. It's not idle curiosity it is verification that there is indeed another group of us and that they will emerge down there and then immediately teleport and begin an infinite loop."
There are two things that can happen. Our other selves can either have to act as we have or they are free to act completely independently. If the former, then other selves HAVE to teleport out and go into the past, that is what we did. They will then come back talk to Meagos and do precisely what we have just done down to this conversation. If so, there is an infinite loop and our lucky friend here, the time elemental, gets to enjoy this conversation every 2 days." he looks over at the creature, "You enjoy that, I'm sure it'll never get old and you have to do it because if you don't, paradox or whatever." Barratore waves him off
"Oh and bonus. We have a nearly permanent guard here as every 2 days, we will effectively be here."
"If our other selves do not have to act as we do, we can never go home or anywhere familiar ever again because they surely will and, 'Ta-Da', Paradox. Or worse yet, If they teleport from the pit and the time shift is not predetermined and they bounce forward making us the other selves, paradox. of Course even if we do watch them go, we don't know and can't know really about the time shift and so if bumping into ourselves is time ending and all..." Barratore pauses as Brom exits and shrugs the rest of his sentence.
"I'm off to the southern continent." Barratore scoots after Brom. He had heard some good tales of glory from the south and so it wasn't so bad. He would have to leave his name and clan behind, that would be the hardest part...

Some in the party have fears -- although both Emrys and the Time Elemental seem to think that the loop will end without repetition. Time will tell.
The party leaves the area, presumably to lay low. A retreat to the Culverwood has been discussed, as well as the use of a mage's mansion. What exactly are your plans, and do you still have the goal of purifying or cleansing this village of the taint of hatred that has infected it?
Or will our heroes reboot their adventures far away in the Southern Continent?

No need to hang in the Mansion, I was only thinking that to see if other us existed and all that. If we're going to do some evil land festering purge stuff, we should sweep through the villages as a start.

"Between Emrys and I, we could probably cast most every spell there is. Unfortunately however, I know of no spell that would cleanse an entire large area. There is a cleric spell called Hallow that makes an area holy, but it's expensive and covers a relatively small area. The best we could probably do is ask Emrys to detect evil around the villages and see if he can find something that's a source of bad mojo. Other than that, I believe the cleansing will need to be by hand. Unless anyone has a bright idea?"
The collapsing might have to wait until tomorrow though. I didn't prepare a lot of disintegrates and elemental summoning spells for Maegos"

As the party plans and surveys the mine, Emrys pipes in on several observances and opinions.
"The more I think of it, caving in the mine won't do anything to help the surrounding lands. The act would be no different than sweeping dust under the rug. It will only allow a false sense of security. This Cavern of Time, a shrine of the Tucre, will remain a font of immense power that will continue to influence the surroundings. Maybe the better course is to get the Pitchfork Council involved so that the mine can be maintained and studied. What could be learned is immeasurable."
"As for removing the corruption from the land, there are many spells that can help. Velarin mentions several good ones. How about we commission several shrines, stone circles and a grove to Culverwood. Holy and Hallowed Ground works very well at influencing the land around them. I could bless the land, but that would only make it more fertile and it will need to be maintained annually."
"Barratore, that is why I recommended going to Culverheart ... I wasn't suggesting a holiday. My father would know a thing or two about how to succeed in this endeavor ... being an Archdruid, a Knight of the Realm and a retired Gold Dragon."
"Those of you who don't possess the gift of magic, don't think you're not an influence. We all carry with us the divine spark, the blood of the Living Wold. The Muse called it a Voice ... a single voice in the Grand Choir. That all our voices are part of the song. I'm not a musician, but I like the way he describes it. It's that spark why the gods crave our worship ... there's power in it. Your presence and good works will bring the change you seek."
Paradoxical Encounter? (DM Cayzle) Sunday October 27th, 2019 11:58:57 PM
Velarin suggests a look through the mine, and in fact a sweep shows no occupancy, not even an orc is to be seen. That opens the way for a collapse ...
Barratore suggests closing access to the deeper areas, but allowing the mine to remain functional, seeing as others might use it for their livelihood.
Lanliss suggests seeking help, perhaps among the Star Mages, or from a druid.
Edson agrees that seeking outside help is a good idea.
Emrys agrees as well, and that makes a good enough consensus!
Over the next week, if the DM may be excused for advancing the action, you use your magic to seal off the deeper and more dangerous parts of the mine, so that the Time Temple is no longer accessible. You also get rid of the obelisk, most likely with a couple well-placed Disintegrates. You sense that the guild researchers are not entirely pleased, but they do not actually object. In your earshot.
You seek out a high-level druid, who is pleased to bless the area and agree to come back every year for four more years to do the same. Please mark off six grand gold for the service.
You keep the Pitchfork Council up to date, and Dulcet herself suggests sowing the blessed ash of Mount Glitterox over the area. After all, that's what keeps the Cinnamon Valley so blessed. That might prove a slightly greater challenge, so your DM will not assume it done, but see what you do with the suggestion.
Note: There is some talk of loot. I believe all has been resolved except for the telepathy spikes and the wish-orbs. You would need to find a private NPC buyer for those, probably among the rulership of a small country or among the wealthy of a large city. You have not indicted that you wish to sell these unique items yet.

The paradox seems to have avoided.
The spikes - Brom doesn't plan on nailing anything into his skull. They'll be permanent and you'll be dead. That's his opinion.
There is talk of land purification, which is all beyond the young barbarian. Magic is not barbarian and big magic even less so. But a trip to Culverwood would be a nice change of pace and some place Brom had never been.
He does ask V to put a teleport spell in his ring. While things are decided, Brom wants to do a patrol around the valley.
Paradoxical Encounter? (DM Cayzle) Monday October 28th, 2019 10:56:00 PM
Velarin takes the time to do a deeper analysis of Maegos's Armor. It is the equivalent of +6 magical full plate. Yes, your DM typed "+6"! However, you determine that its primary magic is that if Maegos dies, this armor restores him while circumventing the power of Gargul to determine one's fate after death. If you destroy this armor, then Maegos will not be able to come back from death.
Moreover, you determine -- now that you are outside the demiplane -- that the magic that allows Maegos to evade Gargul's judgement is very evil in alignment.
Tishe' suggests destroying the armor and keeping the wish-stones and the telepaspikes.
Brom makes it clear that he will not be spiking his own head any time soon. He would not mind a change of scenery, though. Maybe the Culverwood?

"Alright. The armor has to go. Anyone have thoughts opposed to disintegrating said armor? I'm not likely to be able to dispel it's magical effect, But I can definitely try and turn it to ash."
"If the armor is evil, it's likely the spikes are evil too, and we should destroy them as well. Can't say I need the money bad enough to feel ok about some rich idiot nailing an evil spike into his head."
"Do you all want me to start working on a telepathic bond spell? I can do that back at the manor while you all go take a vacation to the culverwood?"

Barratore will go along with the group to Culverwood, though for what he has heard, it is not an overly welcoming place or relaxing. "I've heard tales the woods are more alive than most and seek to confuse bind and kill intruders. Then there is all of the fey, again, not an overly kick back and rest type of place."
On the spikes, Barratore is for destroying them as well. "I say we keep the orbs and spread them out. A wish to duplicate a spell or some other catastrophe stopping request is a mighty good idea."
Paradoxical Encounter? (DM Cayzle) Tuesday October 29th, 2019 11:56:51 PM
You resolve to disintegrate the armor, and Velarin does so. It is no more.
Edson and Lanliss want to sell the spikes. That triggers a deeper look at them, especially vs permanent telepathic links.
The spikes are NOT evil. Note that they are a very useful item ... every person linked to one can use telepathy to communicate with every other person linked to one. That's just like the Telepathic Bond spell - it links all those affected so that they can have conversations.
The Telepathic Bond spell make lasting with Permanency only links two people. Even cast multiple times, if only links two each time. Unlike the spell cast alone, there is no group conversation possible, just pairs of people.
As for Barratore, he is okay with destroying the spikes and keeping the wishes.
All this talk of wishes and magic items may possibly prompt some deeper introspection ...
If you make a Know Arcana check vs DC20, then Highlight to display spoiler: {You can use a wish to alter magic items.}
If you make a Know Arcana check vs DC29, then Highlight to display spoiler: {You could use a wish to change the telepaspikes so that they function on POSSESSION, not IMPLANTATION.}
If you make a Know Arcana check vs DC25, then Highlight to display spoiler: {Heck, you could use a wish to find the name and location of the person who would give you the best price for the telepaspikes.}

Tishe’ keeps involved with all the helpings at the Obelisk and Magpie Crossing. She can’t Disintegrate, and she’s not a trained diplomat, but she tries to talk to the villages after the obelisk destruction. The compulsion is gone, she tells them, but it will take hard work in changing past patterns. On the good news, the evil magic is gone and gives everyone the chance to make their own decisions for their own lives.

[OOC: Discussion of the armor is moot. It is destroyed, per yesterday's DM Post.]
Tishe' does the hard work of talking with the locals. That's not easy because as a cluster of villages recently ruled by the Dread, the people here tend to resist authority or cower in fear. Those negative emotions will need to be unlearned, and you heroes have done a good bit of the job toward shifting things that way. Now it will take time.
Velarin explains the minutia of magic, and suggests using a wish to fix the Telepaspikes so that they work if you just have one on you, in a pocket, not lodges in your brain.
Easy-going Edson is happy to go with the flow.
Lanliss asks, what to do next? Use a wish on the Telepaspikes? Think of way to sprinkle several tons of volcanic dust over the area? Declare victory and go home? Enjoy some R&R, shopping, training, or other down time?

Tishe’ fawns over Velarin and tells him how magnificent he was in solving the Maegos ‘gift’ using the Kalesandria ‘prizes’. “That is some shady picks as good as Trellus could ever do”, she tells the wizard sincerely.
The Spellweaver is all for destroying the armor for all the reasons Lanliss says. “ That will take a wish. Then we use the second wish for altering the spikes that become a tattoo of a spike when laid on the skin instead of implementation. That will take a wish. Then we wish that each time Glitterrox erupts, it also covers the Mine and Villages area to help heal that land, and that’s our third wish. All three weave the tassels for this tapestry, and we call this a job well done.” Unsaid is that this solution also dismantled arguments on who-gets-a-wish.
She looks to the other Keepers for at least a majority agreement.

(ooc: V already disintegrated the armor. DM post 10/29)
V graciously accepts Tishe's compliments, and then returns the favor, completely agreeing with the brilliant idea of using two wishes to make the telepaspikes tattoos that still function as intended, and the glitterox erupt over this area.
"That will give us group telepathy, and leave one wish orb remaining for emergencies that we should put in the hands of someone not named Emrys or Velarin, as we can already pull it off if needed.

"Excellent, that sounds like an exceptional plan," he says in all sincerity. He realizes that he will need to have better control of his thoughts. Daemon listening in has been awkward enough at times. He doesn't wish to give the others nightmares..

With a little thought, two wishes are made.
First, the blessings of Glitterox will now fall on this area.
And each of you now has a tattoo. Please add this to your PC sheets:
Tattoo of Telepathy: The bearer of this magical tattoo can communicate telepathically with any other bearers of the identical tattoo, across any distance. Value of this fate item: 70,000 gp.

Tishe’ places her tattoo spike on her left shoulder, excited not because it is more power but for what the Keepers can do to help people better with them.
Back at Magpie Crossing, she continues her habit of wandering the town and countryside and helping anyone who needs it; a friendly greeting, a bit of magic, or a helping hand depending on the person’s wishes.
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 130/130, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Friday November 1st, 2019 2:03:43 PM
V places his tattoo on his right forearm. Once everyone is together and relaxed, he will stand and speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Now that we have unlimited communication, I would like to make a proposal. Any one of us is capable of doing what a hundred men can not, by spell, or strength, or stealth, we are the best this land has to offer. These abilities we have earned by hard work, and strength of character, and very few beings are able to achieve this level of power, no matter how bad they would like to. Let us use this power to give back to all the people of the Wold who cannot fight for themselves."
" Let us first throw a party in the Vale to thank those who gave us a home, and made us welcome. Then, let us split up and wander to the corners of the Wold, and seek out evil wherever it may hide. Now that we can communicate with one another, over any distance, should any of us find a significant threat, the rest of us are a thought away. As much as i would like to sit in my study, and drink a magnificent Elvish wine for the years to come.... I feel as if a debt needs to be paid to the gods and to fate.

“Only issue I see with that plan is that you are the only one that can teleport V. If I’m stomping through the Scab and you need me in the Emerald Kingdom, I’m weeks away. And if we are all spread out how do we all get back together quickly. I do like the idea of moving on. We could use the WLA to get some rumor info on where the best places might be. “
Barratore will do just that spend some time at the WLA to work the network and what is going on about the Wold
Edson Kazil - Shawn R; AC: 28 (T 21, FF 20), CMD: 24 HP: 103/103 Sunday November 3rd, 2019 8:13:57 PM
Edson gets his tattoo on his left pectoral muscle. He heads back, listening to Velarin's proclamation.
" split up.. why? The lot of us can take anyone on.. lets go clean the planes of demons. "
AC 24/ T24/ F21 CMD23. HP 136/136 Tishe’ (SteveK) Monday November 4th, 2019 5:02:56 AM
Tishe’ looks worried at Edson. “Clear the planes... by the Powers! Let’s not go borrowing trouble, sweetie. It is enough for me to know that people are able to weave their own tapestries and making their own picks in peace.”
“As for temporarily splitting to pursue our own threads, it’s not completely sunbaked, but I”ll stay within a day’s walk of Creasant Valley.”
Tishe’ also makes many visits to the WLA at Jarlswolf, visits Witchspawn and Merrydale, and the crofters and farmers in between. Well, you know, besides Magpie Crossing and environs....
A Well-Earned Respite (DM Cayzle) Monday November 4th, 2019 5:07:31 AM
Mission accomplished, our heroes take the chance for a small breather. Tishe' spends some time visiting with the people of the Cinnamon Valley. Pretty much everybody knows her, and she is greeted with smiles and handshakes everywhere she goes.
Velarin proposes throwing a party here ... and then moving about the wider Wold, wherever their talents are needed. Maybe even splitting up, since these new tattoos allow for instant communication.
Edson is not sure he sees a reason to split up, when the group is more potent collected together. He seems pretty confident in the group's ability to face down any threat.
Barratore is open to the idea of seeking out even more heroic deeds, but why split up? In the meantime, he hoofs it over to Jarlsworf to visit the WLA chapterhouse. The adminstrator of the post, Hmartin, is well known to you, and he immediately drops his other business (mostly furniture making) to have a sit-down with Barratore [and any others of the party who may have come too. I think Tishe', Brom, and Edson are members?]
He has heard word from the Pitchfork Council about your news in the Dread. Well, the former Dread. "Probably we need a new name for our northern neighbor," he says. He asks about the final resolution, and declares the wish magic to extend Glitterox's reach is genius.
Barratore asks about what's going on in the Wold. Hmartin tells you about some news he has heard ...
"There was an invasion of giants into the halfling lands between New Elenna and the Scab," he says. "I hear there was a pitched battle, but the halflings used their magic towers to pulverize the giants, like they did in the past."
"Speaking of the Scab, I hear there's a dragon making trouble up that way, and the Wardens of the southeast Culverwood have gone off to deal with it."
"Usually we chapter houses get news from each other on the regular, but it's been super quiet up north on the coast. I thought about sending word to the Sea Dragons, who so far as I can figure are sitting on their laurels and commissioning trading cards of themselves, I hear. You didn't get that story from me, but some folks just let this Dragon stuff go right to their heads. Trading cards!"
Velarin Xilontheel(Chris J), AC 17(FF 14), hp 130/130, extended mage armor(24 hrs) Monday November 4th, 2019 8:24:10 AM
"Eh, you are right Barratore. I'd skipped over the fact that I'm the only teleporter. Emrys can wind walk, But it would still cause problems. So after a little R&R, where to? Wander up the coast and check in on the lands of the sea dragons? Give the Wardens of the Culverwood some back up?"
"I really have no need for visiting the catacombs. Between the wish gems and stoneskin components, my available resources have diminished of late. But I can't think of anything I'm really needing, so no biggie there."
Emrys Myrridanmyl, stephen f. ac20 hp109/109. rituals: Warding, Spiritual Healing, Contingency: BoL. Bless. Planar Adapt. Monday November 4th, 2019 12:54:24 PM
"I have several teleports and multiple types of expeditious travel. Word of Recall has an unlimited range, will allow multiple travelers and return you back to our sanctuary instantaneously. Then there is Wind Walking, Shadow Walking and the like. Which is your favorite flavor? We all have Spell Rings don't we?"

"Should I help these halflings? Or maybe go to see the sea dragon s?", Lanliss thinks for a moment. He throws a coin in the air. First choice Halflings. Second choice Sea dragons. Lanliss says aloud, hoping to get some attention to his idea.

Tishe’ listens to Hmartin as she does her WLA exercises. “It sounds like the giants and dragon-making are being dealt with, although dragon-Making sounds very dangerous and maybe we should look into that.
And I’m sure the Sea Dragons have their own priorities that aren’t statues and lunchboxes,” she says with a smile. “But don’t they live in the islands south of New Elennia? What part of the north coast? Zarthmoor, that Swamp place, the Windborne Hills, or the Scab. There is a lot of ‘north coast’ to the Elennian Penninsula!”
