We might only have a day at most though. We check in on things there, prepare, and then go back to that place again. What do you guys think?"
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Thursday May 4th, 2017 8:25:17 AM
Bosk walk over to the ship and begins speaking to it. Can you tell us what you are, how you came to be, and where your last destination was?
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 147/155 Ki:14/19 CMD: 37 SR: 26] d20+4=12 ; Thursday May 4th, 2017 8:39:10 AM
Garret hovers and watches Bosk with reverence as he feels at peace with the world around him. As he watches and feels, he gains even more understanding of the Wold and the fabric of the Wold. He blinks slowly and takes a deep breath.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 Thursday May 4th, 2017 10:18:16 AM
Restlin looks over to Sesha as she rustles his hair. "You think that was easy?" he asks incredulously.
He takes a good, long pull of the wine of Imod, knowing it may be the only time he ever gets to drink it. He wonders what Bosk will be like now. His friend's fury has gotten the Iron Adventurers through some rough situations. He hopes he doesn't lose that edge.
Then, planning starts. He starts trying on some of the booty they claimed as he talks. "This ship may take a good, long while to get to its previous destination. We may not have time to visit home...why would we do that anyway? Most of my stuff's still in Plateau City." He ponders if he's completed his luck quest, but decides no. Vivian's not dead enough.
He watches Bosk start to question the ship, "Hey! Ask it how long it takes to get to their previous destination," he shouts.
Once things settle, Restlin looks through Rodrigo's spellbook.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday May 4th, 2017 10:48:29 AM
Everyone Highlight to display spoiler: { Sorry for missing a couple days, been nutso around here}
"Hello Starblazer, we will decide upon a destination soon and will inform you where we wish to travel to."
*I think the ship is impatient, everyone be careful not to state a location, or the ship will take us there I think. So, do we just want to repeat the the last journey?*
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Thursday May 4th, 2017 11:25:49 AM
Sesha arches a brow at the items in the chest. She removes her handy haversack and bag of holding, then claims all 4 items from the chest.
The hole, the spoon, the rope, the decanter, and the necklace of adaptation.
"I wonder...It sure looks like someone was making sure they had everything they needed to survive somewhere they shouldn't. Hey Mage-priest, be ready to pull me out. Give it thirty seconds or so?"
Sesha takes the items and pops herself into the bag of holding, looking for anything more unusual than an extra-dimensional space in a bag.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday May 4th, 2017 12:33:59 PM *She does know, that she could just open the bag and command it to empty and it'll dump everything inside it onto the floor or deck or wherever she commanded it to empty, right?*
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 Thursday May 4th, 2017 2:21:09 PM
Restlin shrugs. "Her power wasn't gained from reading books and learning things."
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Thursday May 4th, 2017 9:02:24 PM
Beri picks up the ring of blinking and admires it's craftsmanship. I'm not much for jewelry, but this ring could come in handy. He turns his attention to the ship before them. Hello Starblazer. What is the duration of the voyage to the previous destination?
DM Tanner Thursday May 4th, 2017 11:55:28 PM
The dragon-prow rears back and gives Bosk a sidelong glance. "I am the Starblazer... and I am the Starblazer. The previous destination was approximately 400 miles away. I am unaware of its name. The journey would take just over three days."
@ Restlin - I did not contribute to the current module, and no spells are listed for Rodrigo's spellbook. So... pick any 5 spells of your choice. The rest are duplicates of ones you already have.
ooc: The Starblazer is an artifact and fate item.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Friday May 5th, 2017 2:22:51 AM
ooc: Dibs on the Starblazer!
Starblazer, how many locations can you remember? If we went somewhere else first, could you then still find your destination before this one without our help?
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 147/155 Ki:14/19 CMD: 37 SR: 26] Friday May 5th, 2017 10:25:29 AM
Garret thinks for a moment and then says, "3 days? That's quite a distance if there's nothing there, but it seems like the most sensible start for us."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 Friday May 5th, 2017 10:38:16 AM
After 30 seconds, Restlin lies down on deck & extends his arm through the portable hole to pull Sesha up. "Come on, lady. We've got stuff to do," he quips as he drags her out of the hole.
Restlin has no need to return to the tower. Going and picking up more stuff would be violating the conditions of his luck quest. He's willing to stay behind while those who want to go do so. He can talk to this cool new ship.
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+12/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Friday May 5th, 2017 11:14:00 AM "I would like to return to the Catacombs and resupply. I also want to make sure our prisoner in Hook is still locked up. I'm a little concerned that another group of assassins may have targeted the tower while we've been gone, or targeted our friends there. What if I was to teleport back to the Tower, and then 24hrs later teleport back to the Starblazer? We wouldn't lose any time. I can even teleport a few people with me"
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 Friday May 5th, 2017 11:42:12 AM
Restlin ponders, then asks Tink, "can we take that monstrolloger with us? Wardd is the god of madness. There will be priests at his temple in Hook City who will be better able than most to help him. I'd go back to Hook City for a bit to handle that."
Then he remembers that he randomly prepared his own teleportation spell today. "Heh, lucky break." He heads off towards the Monstrolloger's cell, dimensionally steps past the stone they used to seal it, and teleports both himself, the monstrolloger, and anyone who felt like coming along directly to the Temple of Wardd.
**Note: Wardd himself stopped Restlin from killing this guy. He may not be much of a priest, but Restlin's still a priest. As far as he's concerned, this is a holy duty & he's not asking permission.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Friday May 5th, 2017 12:15:24 PM
Zane volunteers to stay with the ship. "What I want from the Catacombs, would take a few days anyways.... I need a few spells cast and made permanent as well as a couple tattoos. Go head back and get what's needed, then get back here before too long. Just leave the spoon and water jug for me., If trouble finds me, I can contact you via the ring anyways."
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Friday May 5th, 2017 5:38:36 PM I will stay on the ship as well. If I need anything from the catacombs I will have someone grab it for me. However, I think we need a couple hours on the ship.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Friday May 5th, 2017 9:11:51 PM That's an honorable thought Restlin, however I'm sure the mostrologer would rather stay where he is. He'll want to stay with his creatures, caring for those he can and giving those that passed a respectful burial.
Beri ponders Stargazer's response. 400 miles over water would take them to another land, they should be able to deduce at least the general area they will land so they can plan spells accordingly. Stargazer, in what direction was the last destination?
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 Friday May 5th, 2017 9:40:42 PM
Restlin doesn't even slow down. "Nope, not letting that dude just stay in complete isolation."
...then he's gone.
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Friday May 5th, 2017 9:44:15 PM
Crestfallen, Sesha hands Zane the spoon and other items.
"I thought for sure I was on to something."
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Friday May 5th, 2017 11:46:50 PM
Suddenly realizing that Sesha only examined the inside of the Bag of Holding, Bosk turns the portable hole inside out, just to be sure nothing is on the inside.
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+12/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Saturday May 6th, 2017 3:41:57 AM
Tink bids those who remain good luck, and then teleports back to the Iron Tower.
She plans on identifying any remaining items and selling them at the Catacombs.

FRIDAY'S POST
"I can store the locations of 5 destinations. If you would like to me save the previous journey, it would be my pleasure."
Restlin teleports to the monstrologer.... and finds him dead. His eyes are a ghostly white and plumes of smoke drift from his ears.
Tink teleports to Hook City... and finds an old friend! Wyaar the paladin sits at your dining table enjoying a light snack.
The dragon-head prow of the Starblazer turns toward Beriothian.
"Up."
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+12/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Monday May 8th, 2017 1:02:34 AM
Having never met Wyaar before, Tink is a little surprised to see a stranger in her house
"Um, who are you and why are you eating Garret's biscuits?"
Tink is considerably smaller than most halflings that Wyarr would have met. She currently hovers off the floor, but looks to be a little over a foot and a half tall.
She is clad in form hugging black leather. Tink's long ebony hair is tied back in a pony tail to keep her perceptive eyes clear. Her body is lithe and flexible and she works hard to keep it so. By her right shoulder-blade she has a small tattoo of a set of scales (representing 'justice').
"Guys, there's someone in our house. Never seen him before. May be another assassin" she quickly relays over the telepathic link "I'll try and stall him"
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+12/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Monday May 8th, 2017 6:55:47 AM
Should time present itself, Tink will ID the unidentified items she still holds.
Spellcraft checks: 39 (29 + Take 10)
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 13/21 SR: 20 d20+31=42 ; d20+17=35 ; Monday May 8th, 2017 10:16:26 AM
A mix of sadness and rage fills the empathic link between the Iron Dragons, with the rage edging out the sadness.
Restlin inspects the body, wanting to know how he died. Spellcraft: 42, Heal: 35 - What killed the monstrologer?
Hearing Tink's warning, Restlin decides he's had enough. He teleports back to the tower, ready to explode whoever's broken into their home. The rage is mostly replaced with excitement when he sees his old friend.
"Wyarr!" the Mendicant explains. Restlin still looks like Restlin, but he's very well dressed in a black & crimson suit w/ matching top hat & cape. A shiny platinum holy symbol of Wardd hangs from his neck, and a shimmering, pearlescent blade hangs naked on his hip. "Be cool, everyone, it's just Wyarr. No assassins here."
He walks over to greet the paladin. "Get tired of tending to that backwater village, eh? Well get your big boy underwear on, we've got a phylactery to hunt down before this stupid lich reassembles herself."
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 147/155 Ki:14/19 CMD: 37 SR: 26] Monday May 8th, 2017 1:31:31 PM
Garret stays with the ship, hovering over the rear section of the ship as he takes a seated position in the air. He closes his eyes and relaxes, but then suddenly opens them and says, "I feel a great disturbance." He quickly reaches down to his belt pouch to check his supplies of day-old bread and meat sticks. Finding them all accounted for, he looks around and says, "I feel hungry for some reason, as if I have been deprived some food that should be mine..."
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Monday May 8th, 2017 1:40:48 PM
Zane continues to explore and examine the ship, "How many locations do you have stored in your memory currently?" He asks the ship.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Monday May 8th, 2017 9:10:22 PM Up? Beri glances at the loot they picked up and notices an innocent looking necklace... of Adaptation. A grim possibility slowly creeps into the druid's mind. Up... for 3 days? I know how thing the air gets at the top of a mountain, and we are going much higher than that. Will there be plenty of fresh air to sustain us during the trip, and will we be able to breath when we reach our destination?
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Monday May 8th, 2017 10:21:41 PM
Sesha can hear Resltins excitement, but isn't really sure who or what's a Wyarr. Then again, the Iron Dragons had a long list of previous allies, and she wasn't one to pretend to know them all.
"Mage-Priest, be a dear and check on Sister, my Simulacrum, in case you forgot. Also pop downstairs and check on my clone. Make sure it's growing properly. Thanks!
With nothing else to do, Sesha finds a spot and sits, and starts digging through her leftover potion inventory.
"Did anyone not use the potions I handed out? Just need to keep track."
DM Tanner Monday May 8th, 2017 11:37:49 PM
Restlin inspects the monstrologer's body, and determines he died of spontaneous internal cranial combustion.
Restlin and Tink greet their new/old friend at their fortress.
Garret checks to make certain that he has enough snacks for the time being. Thankfully, he does. Crisis averted.
Zane continues to question the ship. The ship is happy to answer. "I currently have no saved locations. My most recent journey is always saved, and overwritten when a new journey is made."
The Starblazer turns to Beriothian. "All who are aboard my decks are protected from the elements or lack of elements."
[ooc: The ship forms an air bubble.]
Sesha finds a spot to sit and sorts through her inventory.

Bosk nods as the ship speaks. Thank you. Can you please save your previous location as well as this one in your memory to be recalled later.
Over the link he Tink. Do you need us over there? I can magic us over if you do. When he finds out about Wyarr he tells the others to pass on his greetings. Also, assuming Restlin passes on the monsterologer's status will ponder what spell could have caused such a thing.
Knowledge Spellcraft = 35
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 33/23/25 -- CMD 22 -- HP 176+12/176 -- Spells -- Active Effects Tuesday May 9th, 2017 2:44:29 AM "No, I think everything is ok. Restlin sounds like he knows the guy. Not sure how he got in or how he knew where Garret kept his biscuit stash"
Tink smiles politely to 'Wyaar'.
"Did you guys want me to pick anything up at the Catacombs for you before I return? Also, have you worked out how fast that ship moves? Who knows, perhaps it could get you here to Hook in an hour?"
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 147/155 Ki:14/19 CMD: 37 SR: 26] Tuesday May 9th, 2017 7:29:42 AM
Garret says over the link, "Oh, hey, while you're checking on those biscuits, I am running a bit low, so if you could bring along a few spares, that would be great!"
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/21 SR: 20 Tuesday May 9th, 2017 10:56:01 AM
Restlin ponders the wisdom of getting involved with a woman from a matriarchal society as he checks on the various versions of herself she keeps stashed around. "Everything looks fine, dear." He avoids the catacombs or picking up more stuff from his room. He's still on a luck quest; it would be bad form.
"Don't leave in the boat just yet," he says. "I have unfinished business there." He gathers up a sheet to wrap the monstrologer's body in, as well as a flask of oil to douse it with. He also nabs Garret's biscuit tin. He ponders getting a priest from the Temple of Wardd to perform an official service, then remembers he's a priest too. He offers Wyaar a trip to Vivian's hideout before teleporting back using his ring at the teleportation circle.
Back at the hideout, Restlin wraps the monstrologer's body in the sheet, then carries it back to the ship. He doesn't expect his companions to feel the same way about the monstrologer as he does, so he goes about his business alone. He places the wrapped body on the stone next to the water and douses it in oil. A simple burning hands spell creates a small funeral pyre. "Your madness gave you insights. Insights that were abused by the creature we hunt. I could not save you in life," he says, his voice getting uncharacteristically serious, "but Vivian will fall by our hands." He turns his head skyward. "He's all yours, boss. He's suffered greatly in this life. Hopefully he can find peace with you."
He waits for the body to die down, using prestidigitation to blow the ashes into the sea. "Ok, I'm ready whenever you guys are." He looks for somewhere comfortable to rest during the journey.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday May 9th, 2017 12:50:37 PM
Zane confirms to the ship to save it's current location and previous location then adds, "Can you add another location to memory without having been there? If you can, I want you to add one listed as Home. That location is the "Iron Dragons Tower, Roof Level Access, Hook City" That way, any of us can just tell you to head to Home, and we will travel there."
"Restlin, I'm sorry to hear that the mad man died or was killed, whichever it turns out to be."
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Tuesday May 9th, 2017 1:57:56 PM
Bosk laus a hand on Restlin's shoulder and stops him before he can immolate the corpse. Before we help him to move on, perhaps it would be best we learn his wishes and learn what happened to him.
The cleric takes a moment to peer into the Shadowlands and look for the monstorologer's spirit. If he finds it he will question it about it's death. If not, he ask Rest's permission before caring gentle repose on it. In the morning I can speak with his corpse and learn what happened to him, and what funeral rites he wishes. He might also have knowledge about the phalytry or wish a family member to petition Gargul to restore his life...and if Vivian spike the truth, I am not sure what would wait for him if he crosses over now...
That last statement is far from reassuring...
Wyaar ( I need to fix this!) Tuesday May 9th, 2017 3:32:28 PM
Wyaar comes to his feet as Tink appears in the dining room with him and offers her a friendly smile, "Greetings..I am Wyaar Mudlynn, Paladin of Maab and former Iron Adventurer... are they about?" he asks just a moment before Restlin appears, "Ah, Restlin! It is good to see you.. you know you always have my bow at your service. The village is safe and settled so it was time to move on to do good elsewhere. Here, it would seem."
He gets teleported away to the ship to catch up with his other old friends and regale his new with tales of his past shenanigans in Hook City and beyond with the group.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/21 SR: 20 Tuesday May 9th, 2017 5:54:30 PM
Restlin listens to Bosk, earnestly considers what he has to say, then answers "no" before finishing the spell and immolating the corpse. "I will not subject this guy to more forced intrusions into his head. Question his willing spirit all you want, buddy, but this man's body is getting laid to rest."
He watches the body burn. "Besides, we're still dealing with a necromancer. Burning all the bodies is probably a good idea."
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Tuesday May 9th, 2017 7:55:31 PM
Bosk shrugs and looks around to see if he can spot the monsterologer's spirit around his body. I am praying we stop her before she can regenerate and regain her powers. Of she is able to use necromancy again we have already lost one battle...but his knowing the location of the phylactery is minimal...and if he wants our help I will have to trust Jancassis will guide his spirit to me. If immolate is your decision, I will not stop you.
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Tuesday May 9th, 2017 8:39:45 PM
Sesha considers Wyarr for a moment.
Unmistakably Surface Drow, Sesha is shorter than anyone else in the group that isn't a Halfling. One eye is under a patch, and her face is covered with a scarf that Restlin gave her. Still, her midnight skin and white hair are enough to tell her race.
Her adventuring clothes are mostly tribal rags and leathers, but underneath them glints something made of mithril. A store-room full of potions and knickknacks clink around her belt-loop and her inside of her bags. A tiny black cauldron and a broom round out her visible equipment.
"Greetings. I'm Sesha."
She wondered if he met her simulacrum. That might confuse folks, but Sister had a pretty neutral personality. She stuffs the thought away and moves on, picking her way nimbly among the caverns until she finds Restlin.
"Sorry about the Monsterologer. Sometimes it's a really thin edge that separates two sides of a coin. Even if I didn't see him as one of Wards, I understand the life of an outcast. Serenbeth as witness, I cried when the Chit Machine in Hook City was destroyed."
She quietly watches his exchange with Bosk, then grabs his hand and leads him through the dark caverns back towards the boat, where they find a place to sit together.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 d20+5=23 ; Tuesday May 9th, 2017 10:16:15 PM
Beri sighs in relief to know that they will indeed be able to breath on their journey. *over ring* Guys, I'm not sure all of you heard our next destination. It's a three day voyage... straight up! Anyone know where we may be heading, or what supplies we might need for such a trip?
knowledge geography=5
DM Tanner Tuesday May 9th, 2017 11:15:00 PM "Saved, good master." The Starblazer nods in assent. It turns to Zane. "I am sorry, but I can only save a location I have visited."
Despite the party's impressive arcane knowledge, you are unaware of any particular spell that explodes someone's brain inside their skull. Considering the measures in place to protect the secrets of the Death Dragon Cult, you surmise it is likely a fail-safe.
Reslin gives the monstrologer a respectful funeral service. You feel warm and fuzzy inside from your good deed.
[ooc: Restlin gets a hero point.]
The party continues preparing.
[ooc: Considering you are currently the most powerful and prestigious adventuring party in the Wold (barring NPCs), you will have priority service at the Catacombs. Shopping at the Catacombs will not count toward time in-game.]

Garret sits, still floating, in the rear section of the ship and says, "Are we going up yet, or what? I'm ready to go....wherever we're going!"

Tink looks on as Wyaar teleports away. Did he have a dragon ring? Did he cast a spell? She tries to recall the detail.
If it isn't too late, Tink will find Inspector Auslander to check in on how things have progressed with the prisoner: the assassin who tried to kill the Iron Dragons.
The only thing she will have left to do is visit the Catacombs.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +19/+7/+16 CMD: +19 HP: 186/192 +0/18 temp HP(Spells) Luck Points: 15/22 SR: 20 Wednesday May 10th, 2017 10:27:50 AM
OOC: In my post, I mentioned I was taking Wyaar with me.
Restlin sits comfortably next to Sesha, lying back on his elbows. He watches his friends interrogate the ship. "Three days straight up is Jericho space," he casually mentions. "Looks like we're going back there. Hopefully we won't run into Korrine again. She's probably still sore at us." He looks at her. "Wyaar there, he's probably one of the best archers I've ever seen. I may have some competition when it comes to dishing out physical punishment. Probably not though," he adds with a smile.
He lies down all the way, head resting on his hands, starring at the cavern ceiling. "Weddings in Hook City are a pretty boring affair," he says out of no where. "Pretty dress, stuffy priest, guests jockeying for better seats..." He turns his head towards her. "How do drow handle it? I don't see fathers walking their daughters down an aisle in a matriarchal society."
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Wednesday May 10th, 2017 11:06:23 AM
Tink, if your going to the catacombs, can you get me something they probably have in stock? Boots of Teleportation please. Just take it out of my share.
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Wednesday May 10th, 2017 11:42:32 AM
Sesha thinks about his question for a moment.
"There aren't really weddings, as you know them. Even the surface drow are matriarchal to the point that the thought of a woman bonding herself to one male consort forever never crosses the mind. Also, even for a reformed society, males suffer from, uh, a high rate of attrition. "
She adjusts herself a bit, then lays her head back down, this time on his lap so she can see up at his face.
"So a wedding between say, a matron and a human would be a strange affair. It certainly wouldn't happen in our lands, but could happen out of them. Then you would be, well, more like adopted into the family name as a consort permanently, in a ceremony or celebration."
She thinks a bit more, then adds.
"It certainly wouldn't be boring. The drow are a bit more open to their baser instinct and our fancy clothes tend to have less cloth than more. It would be less like a religious procession and more like the party with the fire dancers we had before battling the mummies."

Zane, deciding that the ship is under control, decides to search the dock.
Wyaar ( I STILL need to fix this!) AC 35/19/30, CMD 40, HP 153/153, DR 5/Evil Wednesday May 10th, 2017 2:41:22 PM
Wyaar smiles with a humble nod of his head at Restlin's description of his skills with a archery, "My bow and I have fallen many a might foe, but not once I have ever tried to take on a dragon with a shaving razor. Your ambition for physical punishment far outshines mine, Restlin."
And he explores about the ship, sweeping this way and that with his ability to Detect Evil just because it seems the prudent thing to do.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Wednesday May 10th, 2017 9:28:00 PM
Beri responds to Restlin over the link Jericho Space? ...you mean "the laws of physics no longer apply her" Jericho space? ...the same Jericho space that sent me to a premature reunion with Gargul? I've got to say, not my favorite place to visit.

DM Tanner Wednesday May 10th, 2017 11:49:49 PM
Tink visits the clink. The Inspector is currently away on business, but a rather bored looking guard informs her that the prisoner has remained well-behaved. "He doesn't make a peep, 'cept for his prayers in the morning. Long, loud chants to Gargul. Then he's quiet the rest of the day."
Zane finds little on the dock besides ropes and mooring.
Wyaar tries to detect evil, and finds nothing.
The rest discuss shopping at the Catacombs.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:38/34/31; +4 vs AOO HP: 167/167 Ki:20/20 CMD: 37 SR: 27] Thursday May 11th, 2017 8:26:36 AM
Garret remains in the rear of the ship, still floating in a seated position. When Wyarr appears, he looks at Restlin until he slightly introduces him. He waits, as patient as he can be, but when no other introductions are forthcoming and Wyarr starts wandering about, Garret gets up and heads over to him.
He says, "Hi there. I'm Garret. Garret Goodbarrel. But I'm thinking of changing my name to Garret Dragonrider or something like that. Any friend of Restlin is a friend of mine. So you're an archer, huh? Did you ever try to shoot an arrow while riding on a dragon? I bet that would be hard. So what else do you do? And you fought with Restlin before? So were you a member of the Iron Dragons before? Did you know that's what our group is called now? And we have these rings, did you get one, too?"
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday May 11th, 2017 11:08:47 AM
Leaving the ropes here would be pointless, so, Zane coils them up and brings them to the deck of the ship. When done with that, Zane is basically ready to proceed.
Wyaar ( what's that link code again..) AC 35/19/30, CMD 40, HP 153/153, DR 5/Evil Thursday May 11th, 2017 3:59:33 PM
Wyaar grins over towards Bosk at the mention of his frying pan adventures and gives an appreciative nod, "I look forward to sampling some griddle cakes then, Bosk.
To Garret he gives a small bow, "Hello Garret Goodbarrel the Dragonrider. I am Wyaar Mudlynn, Paladin of Maab and former member of the Iron Adventurers... I was no area that you had changed your name nor do I have a ring. I have never tried to shoot an arrow while riding a dragon, just shot at them. It was about as successful as Restlin's attempt with a razor.[/b]"

Restlin exclaims, "oh!" then produces Garret's biscuit tin. "Here ya go, buddy. Chow down while Tink goes shopping.
"Wyarr was there for my first luck quest when I got Shiny here." He draws his sword. "Back then, it called itself the Umbral Curator. It was all black and kind of a downer."

Tink nods to the inspector, glad to hear that everything is under control.
She makes one final pass via the Catacombs to take care of any shopping the party require (OOC: Please feel free to do your own shopping on the assumption Tink will collect and deliver for you)
When the shopping is done she returns to the tower and teleports back to the ship
"So, did I miss anything?"
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Thursday May 11th, 2017 9:36:01 PM Starblaze, I have one more question for you. Who was your original creator? You didn't by chance transport the Teucri did you? Beri thinks back the the Chit machine, it's possible that these two came from the same place. *over the ring* Wyaar, that reminds me. You know how Hook City stopped using chits recently. You will never believe the story behind that!
DM Tanner Thursday May 11th, 2017 11:28:18 PM
The group chitchats with their newest/returning member and complete last-minute tasks.
[ooc: Last call! We will start the next module on Monday, so wrap up anything you need.]
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Friday May 12th, 2017 1:24:23 AM Before we head out, can anyone determine what "The big guy" we were fighting was? I hate fighting creatures I cannot identify...it makes it possible to know what I still have to cross off my "to do" list.

Garret wanders over to the big guy and wonders why they haven't shoved the body over the side yet. He takes a look at it, wondering if he has seen it in his travels (survival? 20, perception? 38)
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Friday May 12th, 2017 12:57:35 PM "It was big? does that help?" Zane says sarcastically. He just shrugs in Bosk's direction to indicate he has no idea.... Zane stows the cordage and gives the ship another look over to be sure it's ready to go..... "Starblaze, how damaged are you, and are you ready to travel?"
Sesha [AC 31 /21 To/29 Fl] | HP 234/147 | CMD 22] Friday May 12th, 2017 4:32:40 PM
Sesha gives Restlins hand a final squeeze and hops up.
"Anyone know anything about Jericho space?"

"I know all the things about Jericho space. It's cold, no air...and there are big chunks of rock called 'worlds' in it...I think that's all the things."
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Friday May 12th, 2017 9:36:16 PM Jericho space is... how should I put it.
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone manages to discern the nature Jericho space, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
Based on my past visit there, I would theorize Jericho space is on about it's 5th iteration of inexplicability.
On the plus side, we were able to breath just fine up there... or didn't need to breath... Actually, the one thing I highly suggest is immediately examine the environment around you. See if you can move normally. Throw a pebble, see if it flies true to the next island/world. Throw five pebbles, see if the occupy the same space on the island when the land... no, I can't explain that. Physics can just be weird there.
Beri shakes his head as a small migraine starts to creep up on him. Hopefully things will be clearer this visit.
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Friday May 12th, 2017 10:36:24 PM
Bosk shakes his head.
Gargul has had dealings with The Jerico, so I know a little of its history. Her is what we need to remember.
1. The Jerico created the Wold, and the Gods of Yore. The Jerico then withdrew from the Wold.
2. When we were in Jerico Space we were on a Tecuri Portal from space. Normal gravity, distance and direction did not exist there because of the Teucri technology. The Teucrri use non-Euclidian geometry as well as topsy-turvy gravity. Hallways are tubes and you can stand/walk on any part of the tube. Walls are spheres which also have gravity on all sides, allowing you to walk on any part of the sphere. Only the very center of a hallway or sphere-room has no gravity.
3. We fought an Umbral Drahon there named Korrine. After we defeated her Gargul allowed us to see a scene of a ball of gold and jewels surrounded by stars. The shape of Korrine is seen tearing the ball apart and silently screaming her frustration...she might still be there waiting for us, but I doubt it.
4. Not much is known about Jerico space. The other planets have never been explored to my knowledge, and we destroyed the only portal going between them that I am aware of.

Assuming Tink's purchases at the CC are approved, she's also ready to travel.
She brings along an extra bag of cookies for Garret. The journey would probably be unbearable if she had to listen to his stomach growl the whole way.
"Say, how fast can you travel?" she asks the Starblazer. She's wondering if by knowing the direction and speed she can work out where the ship will be taking them.
When the time is right, Tink goes and introduces herself to Wyaar "Sounds like you know the rest of the party. I'm Katinka, well, Tink for short. Justicar of Pantheon and a bit of a wizard" She flexes her tiny muscles and grins "Obviously the others handle the heavy hitting"

Wyaar smiles to Tink with another short bow, "I am glad to meet you, Tink.. and the rest of you. I hope you will allow me to lend my bow to your cause once again"
Bosk AC: 33/16/29 CMD: 34 126 hp /132 (27+18 are temp) Spells Sunday May 14th, 2017 8:55:08 PM
Bosk thinks back on his adventurer's with Wyaarr and tries to update him on all that has happened and recount his adventures with Wyaar to the newer members. Wyaaar was with us when we fought the illithid. That was an epic battle. A demi-god was stuffed in this little girl's body and burst forth. I beat it up with an old fruitcake, shoving it through the things enormous eye while Restlin dropped a feather token anchor on its head and flattened it.
Since then we have learned more about the secrets of the Southern Continent post-Great Migration and stop a mad wizard from becoming a lich. We even got to interact with the chaos bell.
We ventured into the depths of the Treasury to discover more about the mysterious origins of the Teucri in hopes of repairing the Chit Machine, but instead found ourselves in a land of heat and sand and an ancient curse where we fought Grendel the Cruel.
Then there was our adventure into space where we fought the Umbral Dragon Korrine.

FRIDAY POST
The party examines the Big Guy and discovers he was a flesh golem. A similar examination of the remains of Bosk's parents reveal they were bone golems.
The Starblazer perks up. "I am ready to sail immediately, good master! The damage that I am certain you caused inadvertently is already being repaired by damage control systems."
The ship is ready, you have your destination. All aboard! Your journey begins tomorrow.

Garret takes the cookies with a bow and a "Thank you so much!" He absentmindedly shoves all of them in his belt pouch except one that he starts eating right away. When the ship mentions that it is repairing itself, Garret gets curious and quickly starts looking over the sides of the ship, trying to see where and how it is repairing itself. If he cannot see anything over one side, he will rush over to the other side to try and take a look.
Zane (JCC) AC 33, CMB 21, CMD 36, HP 202/240, Blindsense 60' Character Monday May 15th, 2017 12:16:59 PM
Zane nods as the ship indicates it is being repaired. "All I know about Jericho Space is the tales that the Heroes based near Black Bird Lake told of their adventure, some sort of tubes or tunnels connecting large areas of open area, and none of it was really ground or land, it just sort of was. I didn't then and still don't understand what was told, but I'm sure we will figure it out, one way or the other."

"It is an adventure to look forward to then." Wyaar says with a broad smile.
Beriothian -- AC:32/17/30 HP: 161/190 CMD = 22 Monday May 15th, 2017 9:52:33 PM Well, I suppose there is only one way to find out what awaits us. All aboard! Beri joins the others on the bridge of the ship.

"One more tool at my disposal I guess. I'm ready."
