DM Mitch Saturday April 13th, 2019 1:35:42 PM Tink prepares to teleport but she realizes she didn’t prepare it today.
Bosk notes he has teleport and greater teleport
Garret comments about the mess and that some days you just want to go home and have breakfast.
Restlin tries to cast teleport…
Wyaar thinks about the bath he wants to have
Sesha plans to fill in the coven as soon as she can
Zane points out the hangers on
Restlin rushes for a bath upon returning to the tower.
Garret rushes to check on his favorite meet vendor.
Beri asks if Bosk could update Gargul.
Sesha debates with Sister about the nature of dreams and pursuing them.
Bosk confirms they can teleport everyone back.
The party cannot teleport inside of the tower; however the custodian shows them a fast way out and they’re home in less than an hour. The custodian also confirms the party has plenty of time to do shopping and take care of things, as long as they get back within a few days - the containment will last that long easily.
Megaman seems to find the place quaint. ”We had stuff like this in my home, but it was all ancient ruins, long abandoned. No magic though.”
Doc seems happy to be back and requests in it’s chiming language to return to ship form until the party goes back to the tower.
Chuck is happy to see civilization, even if it’s very different from home. Finally some place where I don’t have to worry about some demon or robot coming by and tearing my face off!”
Bosk’s return is greeted with special enthusiasm by the Kobolds. One of them was tidying up when they ported in and he or she almost burst with glee at being so close to “THE CHOSEN ONE!” and his companions.

It feels like an age since the party were back home. Tink has a few things she wants to take care of.
She looks out into the street to see if she can find a lad (or lass) who wouldn't mind acting as a courier for an Iron Dragon.
First is to the Inspector to let him know the party are back. She doesn't want to go into too much detail about what has happened and what is yet to come, although does ask for him to come to the Tower when he has time.
Second is to Mara Weaver, just to check in that everything is ok.
With that Tink will give her messenger a few gold coins and ask for them to deliver those messages as quickly as they can.
Tink then sets off to her room, grabs a few pieces of parchment and a quill, and makes her way down to the living room to start penning a note: "Dear Mage's Guild..."
"Hey Restlin! You want in on this?"
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 211/293, Blindsense 60' Character Sunday April 14th, 2019 10:23:49 AM
Zane checks in on the Kobolds, and makes sure they are settling in. He also checks to see if any have decided to work for him and help out around the city using the Groups flying ship moored outside his rooms level....
(still nothing about the leadership feat: crew for the ship)
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Sunday April 14th, 2019 8:32:43 PM
Wyaar will freshen up and rest as able. If he ha the time he will take Chuck on a tour of the city too so he can see the sights of the fantastically magical Hook City.

When Tink heads outside, she finds Garret already there with a small crowd gathered around, listening to his tales. He points out a couple runners to help Tink out and promises them free meat on a stick for helping her out.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Monday April 15th, 2019 10:00:13 AM
"Time for what? We writing a nasty-gram to the Star Mages? Shoot, I do that about once a week anyway, but having at least two of their members infiltrate a Dragon Consortium group on a mission directly from a god is a new low, even for them. Let's do this..."

Tink will also unceremoniously dump the contents from Agatha's satchel onto the table. It might give a little more insight into what she was doing, what she discovered, and potentially some valuables.
Bosk AC:42/19/38 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 113/201 Spells Monday April 15th, 2019 9:41:51 PM
Bosk grins. Pretty sure their chosen one is the guy behind me. As he says this Temujin, the doppelganger who performed brain surgery on himself, brings him over a drink. Although I do try to keep our friends close. A trusted friend is the most valuable treasure one can find.
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 211/293, Blindsense 60' Character Monday April 15th, 2019 9:52:31 PM
Over the rings, so as not to insult the Kobolds, "I seem to remember that they refuse to call me by anything other than "The Chosen One". Not even the ones who've been training to fly our ship around and help out where needed in Hook City and the area around it."
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Monday April 15th, 2019 10:49:31 PM
Wyaar abides.
DM Mitch Tuesday April 16th, 2019 7:51:22 AM Tink tries to find a messenger to deliver some messages to Mara Weaver and the Inspector before sitting down to write a letter.
Zane looks in on the kobolds.
Wyaar freshens up, rests and takes Chuck on a tour.
Garret points out some suitable runners, promising them meat on a stick for helping.
Restlin agrees to Tink’s nasty gram.
Bosk grins at the chosen one remark and thinks about Temujin.
Zane says he’s pretty sure they only call him chosen one. Upon reflection he remembers they also called him “The Bronze One” and “The Savior” though those are less popular.
Tink is easily able to find a messenger and send her messages. Directly afterwards she realizes that now they have a bunch of live in kobolds there’s always a messenger available.
Zane finds that the kobolds have made themselves quite at home. Sapphire gives him a tour and explains everything they’ve accomplished. They’ve taken over the tunnels beneath the tower and turned them into a small town. Those with trades have started selling wares to townsfolk in order to buy things they need. Several have volunteered themselves as servant and the tower has never been cleaner after a long time away. Kip, the sarcastic sailor, has started training a crew on how to use the Dragonship (I specifically made him a sailor so you could use him as crew). He’s one of the few Kobolds not to insist on calling him “The Chosen One!”
At the end of the tour Sapphire looks at Zane expectantly, obviously expecting some response to all they’ve accomplished.
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 34*/24*/25* (Blur, +2 vs Evil) -- CMD 26 -- HP 175/214 -- Spells -- Active Effects Tuesday April 16th, 2019 8:03:27 AM "aaaaand ... done." Tink puts the quill gently down on the table. "Let's see. One... two, three, four.. eight.... Huh. I used 37 different adjectives to describe Agatha"
Tink has learned not to send things out while you're still angry or worked up. She rolls up the parchment and leaves it on the table for now.
"Right. I'm heading off to the Catacombs to take my mind off things. Anyone want anything while I'm there?"
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:49/49/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 207/207 Ki:14/20 CMD: 51 SR: 29] Tuesday April 16th, 2019 9:34:40 AM
Garret falls asleep in the sun on the top of a short wall outside the tower in a meat-on-a-stick food coma. One leg falls off the wall, he farts, but remains quite asleep.
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 211/293, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday April 16th, 2019 9:40:16 AM
To Sapphire, "It looks like you are all settling in and getting along, very well Done. Things are going ok with the neighbors? No major arguments?" Just making sure that the tribe is ok, Zane then heads up stairs and checks in on Starblazer and finds Kip. "You and Starblazer getting along? He asks as he walks out to the docking level and doesn't bother to even say "hi" to the sailor.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Tuesday April 16th, 2019 10:29:48 AM
Restlin emerges from his rest once again dressed in the fancy suit Lordmayor WhatsHisFace gave him, complete with crimson and gold top hat. He tags along to the Catacombs as well. He considers his Luck Quest to be at an end and successfully completed. As such, he has a very important stop to make.
"Come on, Tink." He says as they walk. "You need more fun in your life..."
He moseys over to the Temple of Wardd and throws open the front door, shouting "Come look at all this cool stuff I found!" as he does.
He dumps the following on whatever the temple's using as an altar this week:
Rope Blue forcefield Gravity grenade Emergency raft Blue veemod goggles Autograpnel Dart gun with Nanite canister (5 charges) Dex/Con belt +4
"Pretty sure all that stuff with the buttons won't work here. Comes from a dimension with more technology than science...or reason for that matter. We may not have their scientists, but at least we aren't living in an apocolypse, right?"
He really wants to tell everyone what he's been up to, but they're still on a literal mission from god, so he keeps his mouth shut.
After they leave, he explains to Tink. "It's bad form to keep stuff you find lying around on a luck quest.That belt especially will make someone's day, maybe even save someone's life...or maybe not. Who knows?"
He continues on to the Catacombs...
Bosk AC:42/19/38 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 113/201 Spells Tuesday April 16th, 2019 1:55:24 PM
ooc: Temujin is actually there bringing Bosk a drink. Bosk also took the Leadership Feat in September and has his own cohorts. His followers consist of NPCs the group had encountered, ones I created for other games, and my tapestry characters. Think more loyal fraternity brothers than fanatical kobold.
Sanji – former PC. Works at Five Mile House. Female Rogue. Orphan, she is very loyal but hates bullies. Runs with Hemust and Jillian.
Hemust and Jillian - former Noodle gang members, who now work at Five Mile House and good friends of the Heroes. Jillian has short blonde hair and blue eyes, always suspicious. Hemust is half-elf, also blonde and blue eyed, and is arrogant.
Brodery Family – Team saved family in MudTown and sponsored them to Hook City after their daughter was killed by assasins. They run “Brodery Apothecary” in Iron Tower Square. Jimbim. Now eldest brother. He's a nice guy. Expert herbalist and supplier of Bosk's poisons. Clarissa. Sister. Penetrating stare. Expert alchemist. Katherine and Billy Boy. Youngsters. Very angry and vindictive. Gat. Cousin. Toss a coin to figure out that mans mood. He likes to fight and will take anything said to him as an insult. Expert crafter of common items. This was formerly Heather Brorderys' family (she was a cleric of The Edge before she died, the first spirit Bosk advanced as an Avenger, one of her eyes was removed and is now the eye in the center of Bosk's forehead).
Temujin, a doppleganger with memory loss (now restored) that had an ilithad larva put in his brain that he cut out himself, causing the brain damage. He (unknowingly) took on the persona of a druid he was in contact with and helped hut down the illithid occultists responsible for killing previously menioned druid.
A young un-named witch we saved from the Manfri and their own tribe in the Sargrass after it was discovered she was a witch. She now trains under Magister Alistair with former party member Maikill. Toby and Rachel, Young kids in Hook City that sneaked among the group and cut off some of Zeoll's fur to create a fishing lure in order to attempt catching a giant goldfish.
Barnacle Jane, a tall and beautiful woman with flowing red hair and captain of Calypso's Cry, known for the unusually high number of women sailors it employed...well not so much the number of women as the captain's willingness and ability to take in young women with little or no skill and make them some of the finest sailors on Rum. (NPC I created in the old Rum game)
Ceri, a large golden haired taur with ivory white horns. Quite large, at over eight feet (including the horns), Ceri is an impressive figure and you see how she earned the respect of the predominately male group. Two bastard swords long as a man cross her back, the hilts carved into sets of silver minotaur horns and you have little doubt that the Captain is more than capable of dual wielding the massive blades. (NPC I created for Rum, Captain of the WLA that I believe was later replaced.)
I also thought about including my old tapestry characters with their levels scaled sown to the appropiate level.
I am working on my Catacombs list. Along other things, I am replacing used potions, scrolls, and necklace of fireballs.
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 258/258 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 Tuesday April 16th, 2019 9:57:45 PM
The druid runs his fingers through his long hair as he thinks. I'm still hunting down useful items on the catacombs catalog... I'm eyeing a pearl of power, but not sure what other great may benefit me in the trials ahead.
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Tuesday April 16th, 2019 10:04:54 PM
"Catacombs would be a good idea.. haven't been there in awhile.." Wyaar muses.
Bosk AC:42/19/38 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 113/201 Spells Wednesday April 17th, 2019 12:15:55 AM
Bosk goes around the tower greeting his friends and giving them updates. Jimbim, how are your herbal extracts (poisons) coming along? I could likely use some for what we are about to face. They speak in hushed tones as Clarissa jumps out from around a corner and takes a friendly swipe at Beri. He then takes a long bath and gathers up his things before heading to the Catacombs and WLA to prepare for an act of Deicide unrivaled since the last cataclysm.
DM Mitch Wednesday April 17th, 2019 7:03:01 AM Tink finishes her letter and then rolls it up in parchment before taking a trip to the catacombs to blow off steam.
Garret takes a nap in a precarious place.
Zane chats with Sapphire and then checks in to see how the kobolds are getting along with Starblazer.
Restlin considers his luck quest over and dumps all the things he’s found while on his luck quest at the temple of Warrd.
Bosk receives a drink from Temujin and visits with others he has a history with to see what they’ve been up to.
Beri makes a catacombs list.
Wyaar remarks he hasn’t been there in a while.
Sapphire reports that things are going well. The townsfolk are a bit leery of the Kobolds, but it’s a big enough trade center strange people are relatively normal and there haven’t been any major problems, especially since they've been endorsed by the local heroes.
Kip is in the middle of a conversation with Starblazer about the finer points of the ship when Zane walks in. Starblazer answers the question he asked, ”The little ones have proven quite useful.”
Kip inclines his head respectfully. ”Welcome back boss.”.

Tink is happy to tag along to a Temple of Wardd. She considers hiding her face as they enter but figures the Iron Dragons are that well known that they'd be noticed on site anyway. Still, "a Justicar enters a temple dedicated to the God of Thieves" sounds like the opening line of a good joke.
She keeps a smile on her face and tries not to look like she is on a mission of any kind. Just dropping in with a friend.
After their visit to the Catacombs she catches back up with Restlin.
"What say we gather a few of the others and head to a tavern for a hot meal? We can see whether there is any news as to what has been going on here while we've been gone."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Wednesday April 17th, 2019 10:03:45 AM
Restlin nods. "Yea, I can eat. Remember those bacon onion things Kyan used to make? Pie-roe-gees or something? I could eat a whole plate of those right now."
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 258/258 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 Wednesday April 17th, 2019 10:06:56 AM
Beri heads out to find Master Torm the awakened tortoise, if anyone is likely to have knowledge of the bush creatures it is him. He heads out to the elaborate gardens where Torm makes his home, checking first at his favorite pond. Perhaps the old guy can provide some insight into how they are calling forth chicken demons, and the nature of their symbiotic relationship. Upon finding Torm he will pour a cup of tea and settle in for what is always a long conversation.

Garret rolls while he sleeps and falls off the wall flat on his face. He looks up and around a little, but then puts his face back down in the dirt and goes back to sleep again. He is quite exhausted from all the running around and has some pleasant dreams about lots of meat-on-a-stick sandwiches.
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Wednesday April 17th, 2019 6:03:04 PM
"bacon onion things sound good.." Wyaar agreed though leaves to head off to the catacombs.
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 211/293, Blindsense 60' Character Wednesday April 17th, 2019 7:56:22 PM "I'm glad you are all getting along. Kip have you checked in with the Inspector yet, that is if you think you are ready to start helping around the City. We don't want to cause any trouble, there will most likely a bunch of paperwork that'll need to be filled out. I swear, I think this place runs on paperwork rather than magic sometimes.... Anyways, if you have any trouble, let me know. I think we're headed back out in the morning. I'll do what I can to make sure things go smoothly. I gotta head to the Catacombs, need some more gear.... With that Zane leaps off the side of the tower and flies to the Catacombs entrance and will meet up with the others for the meal....
"It's as if thousands of people were suddenly caught in a strange bureaucracy, and income tax was due all over the nation."
Glad that she wasn't a tax accountant, she continues her reunion with her coven and her simulacrum.
DM Mitch Thursday April 18th, 2019 8:05:58 AM Tink goes with Restlin to the Temple of Warrd, thinking this act sounds like the beginning of a joke and then asks about gathering the others at a tavern for a hot meal.
Restlin said he could go for a delicacy Kyan used to make.
Garret falls off the wall he slept on, wakes for a moment and takes another nap in the dirt this time.
Zane asks Kip about how things are going and tells the kobold to let him know if there are any difficulties before taking a field trip to the catacombs.
Sesha snaps out of her revery involving something called income tax and spends some time seeing to her coven and her similucran.
Kip says he'll take care of whatever needs doing and ask for help if it's needed. "I'm not to familiar with human bureaucracy, but Auslander has been very helpful."
The party does shopping and enjoys a good meal together. Well, mostly together.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Thursday April 18th, 2019 10:05:12 AM
"Sooooo..." Restlin starts during a lull in the conversation. "Big day tomorrow. Another new dimension to go explore, this time potentially stuffed to the brim full of undead." He briefly wonders if Bosk will keep it together, but his friend has calmed significantly over the years. He'll probably be fine.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:49/49/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 207/207 Ki:14/20 CMD: 51 SR: 29] Thursday April 18th, 2019 10:43:17 AM
Garret wakes up and looks around. It takes him a moment to realize that it is starting to get dark out. He scrambles to his feet and looks for the meat vendor, only to find that he has gone home for the day. He wanders around a little, still enjoying the outside and the peace and quiet of no one trying to kill him. He ponders if it is time to retire and just enjoy the peacefulness of the Wold.
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 258/258 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 Thursday April 18th, 2019 1:13:54 PM
Beri looks at Master Torm... is he asleep? Is he just slow responding? With him it's always hard to say, but the druid tries to be respectful while waiting. Master Torm, do you have a minute to talk? I hope I'm not waking you...
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 211/293, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday April 18th, 2019 3:59:44 PM
ane say "Bye" to Kip, Starblazer and the crew as he heads off. After a stop in the catacombs, he then goes to dinner with the others....

Tink feels a slight tingle in her hands. Somewhere, someone is doing paperwork and she hasn't been invited.
She takes a hold of a mug of mead and looks about at the crowd.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:49/49/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 207/207 Ki:14/20 CMD: 51 SR: 29] Friday April 19th, 2019 9:23:09 AM
Garret continues to wander and ponder. Suddenly he looks around and realizes that he has walked all the way to Dirt City without even considering why. He thinks back to the awakening of the strange gods and sighs. He knows they have one more thing they must do to save the Wold. He is tired, but one more mission, well, maybe just one more and then he could really relax. But could he really retire? Only time would tell.
He headed back towards the tower, knowing that the time was coming soon when he would have to get back into action.
DM Mitch Friday April 19th, 2019 11:47:47 AM
Restlin reflects on the big day they have tomorrow with the undead dimension.
Garret wakes up outside in the dark and tries to find the meat vendor only to figure out he went home. He ends up enjoying the peace and quiet for once since no one is trying to kill him at the moment.
Beri asks Master Torm if he is sleeping.
After a long pause Torm says, “I’m………….sorry……..Beriothian….I…...was…...lost…..in……..deep……..meditation. Recent……. Events…...have….given……..me…..pause.”
Zane says bye to Kip and joins the others for dinner.
Tink senses a disturbance in the paperwork.
Garret wanders around town some and thinks about recent events.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Friday April 19th, 2019 1:58:29 PM
"Know what I was thinking about recently? That demigod tentacle thing we fought. Remember that? Remember how we barely beat it and it kept knocking Zane unconscious and almost to death? I be each of us could take it one on one now.
"I mean, I'm not eager to bring it back to life and find out, but it's impressive how we've grown together. What do we do after this, anyway? What tops this debacle we've found ourselves in?"
Restlin eats the last biscuit in the basket apologetically.
"Who knows Mage-Priest. Perhaps more.. "domestic" challenges await us in the future?"
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 293/293, Blindsense 60' Character Friday April 19th, 2019 4:20:39 PM "I have the feeling that this is our final mission as active adventurers, When we finish this, we will have done our portion of making sure the Wold continues. What do you think we've been mentoring the hero groups around the Wold for. It'll be thier turn to shoulder the next responsibility that needs to be dealt with. It'll give time for me to find my Parents, I know my father is out there somewhere and I believe now that my mother didn't perish when The Stormfront wrecked crossing the edge. I expect we all will have a life after this, we just need to keep grounded, and I think our Tower will do that even if we arn't there all the time...."

It remains with us to protect it, whether directly, or indirectly by training those that follow us."

In answer to Zane, Tink will need a good nights rest - preferably 2 - before returning to the Tower
DM Mitch Saturday April 20th, 2019 11:00:29 PM Restlin reflects on how a single Iron Dragon could probably fought the tentacle demigod thing they fought in the past.
Zane hypothesizes that this may be their last adventure as active heroes and when this is complete it will be up to future heroes to answer the call next time. He also thinks about finding his parents and how even if they (the Iron Dragons) aren’t there the tower should keep them grounded.
Wyaar jests that he quakes at the thought of domestic challenges.
Beri asks for advice for dealing with the demons from one of the portals.
Tink points out they will always defend the Wold, even if it’s just by training new heroes to follow them. She proposes a toast.
Bosk does more errands.
Tink adds that she needs at least 1 good night of rest, preferably 2.
Torm considers the question for a long moment. “I… see… 4 … gates…. Before….. You…. my …. Child…..Though…..you….may….end….up…. Passing …..

Tink mentally goes over the list of things she wants to buy from the catacombs. They said they'd send her a message when the bundle was ready for collection - if it could be filled.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:51/51/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 260/260 Ki:21/21 CMD: 55 SR: 30 DR 10/Choatic] Monday April 22nd, 2019 10:49:47 AM
Garret wanders back to the tower to look for the others. As he walks in his body almost seems to shimmer to those who see him. He looks somehow different and more magical, as if he's transcended being a halfling and appears to be something more (Perfect Self: The level 20 monk is no longer humanoid but is a magical creature).
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Monday April 22nd, 2019 11:44:26 AM
Restlin indeed notices something different about Garret. He whispers in Sesha's ear. "Love, has Garret's odor diminished, or have I gone noseblind to him?"
Anyway, it's probably time to get rest. This little interlude has been lovely, but the Iron Dragons still have a world to save.
"Garret, the perfect taste tester. Transcended above a normal halfling, he eats with the wisdom of the great beyond."
She notices too, he smells a little less offensive.
Zane (JCC) AC 36, CMB 22, CMD 39, HP 311/311, Blindsense 60' Character Monday April 22nd, 2019 4:37:23 PM
Zane arrives back at the tower and is swinging a blade that looks like a bastard sword but moves much quicker almost like it's smaller and is made of light.
"Hey Bosk, you might want to borrow this when we go visit that plane where the undead are... I doubt they'll like it very much." hey shouts out as he walks in. He notices that Garret seems a bit different but since when did any of the Iron Dragons look normal.
(the new blade is a Sunblade fyi a truly evil weapon for such a GOOD blade. yes it's an aligned weapon)
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Monday April 22nd, 2019 8:30:33 PM
Wyaar will visit the WLa too if time allows, but otherwise rest at least the night and ready to move on when the others are.

Beri reaches out to the others over their rings and relays Torms message to the others as he slowly completes each though
Guys, I'm talking to Master Torm... it sounds like we could be in for crazy time if we are going to the realm those chicken demons were from.
He saw gates before us, we may or may not need to go through all of them... apparently the order will matter.
When we come across them, they must be confronted as soon as possible. The risk of leaving them unchecked is too great.
It sounds like there is a source of these creatures we need to take out. Should the source die, the rest will wither.
Let me know if you have anything you want to ask Torm...
The druid then addresses the awakened turtle, hoping he has more information regarding those gates and why the order is important.
Bosk AC:42/19/38 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 113/201 Spells Monday April 22nd, 2019 10:10:43 PM
ooc: is the Sun Blade the vorpal weapon discussed in the email? Does anyone mind if I wield it? I can deduct it from my portion of the loot.
Bosk joins the others once his order in the Catacombs is placed and examines the blade. I might just have to take you up on that. It is a fine piece of craftsmanship, something I would be proud to wield! Lifting it he hasps, Gargul's Eye! I could dual wield this with my other sword! The cleric is glad he did not spend all his gold and debates buying his own blade.
The cleric then looks at Garret and notices the change in odor. It looks like we now have another non-humanoid in the group. A magical creature and an outsider. I do not think any other set of Dragons has been so diverse.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 7:28:37 AM
Restlin scratches his head at Sesha's cryptic response, wondering if that's a yes. Then he gets Beri's message. He is not looking forward to seeing what kind of hellish farm those chicken and bush demons come from, but someone's gotta go close that portal...
DM Mitch Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 7:37:28 AM Tink goes over the list of things she ordered from the catacombs.
Garret joins the others a chained being
Restlin notices the change in Garret and suggests they get some rest.
Sesha also comments on this and notices he smells slightly less offensive.
Zane comes back swinging a sun blade and asks Bosk if he wants to wield it when they visit the undead.
Wyaar visits the WLA
Beri informs the others of what Torm told him via rings. To the question he asks Torm replies, “The…..keeper…..of…...the…….gates…..can…..guide….you….where….you….need…..to….go….”
Bosk notices the change in Garret and remarks about it and the blade the Zane has.
Restlin wonder’s about Sesha’s statement and worries about Beri’s.
A messenger arrives from the Catacombs with all of the gear people have bought.

Tink makes her way back to the tower to start jotting down all that she can remember of the fights, starting with the chick demons.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:51/51/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 260/260 Ki:21/21 CMD: 55 SR: 30 DR 10/Choatic] Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 10:42:20 AM
Garret smiles at the others and says over the rings, "Anything you can find out that will help us navigate this upcoming strange place is going to be helpful!"
Zane (JCC) AC 36, CMB 22, CMD 39, HP 311/311, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 2:08:24 PM
Over the rings, "I hate those chicken things, they hurt and I mean really HURT. But from what Info you are getting from Torm, we need to go there first, right? Also does he know the rest of the gate order?" Zane adjust his robes and such, getting use to carrying a real sword now... He still twitches now and then as it settles into what his new normal will be.
Bosk AC:42/19/38 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 113/201 Spells Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 8:19:30 PM Speaking of which, what does anyone recall about what we are about to face? Race? Alignment? Attack type? Defense weaknesses? How can we best prepare full contact gardening, ultimate chicken wrangling and potential diacide?
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 258/258 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 9:01:57 PM
Beri responds to the others over the rings I'm thinking it's more a warning that when we encounter them we risk getting overrun if we don't take out the source, and not that we need to seek them out first. From what we've seen, they constantly replace fallen comrades, but their numbers don't increase. If that's the case, when we fight them probably isn't an issue, it's just that we need to finish it before things get too bad... but I'm going to confirm with Torm... I'll update you in 20 minutes when he finishes responding.
Also, apparently the gates have keepers that will guide us.
Beri then goes back to To addressing Master Torm .
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 9:47:08 PM
"They are evil.. if we encounter a big group of everyone stays close to me or your summons I can grant people my Smire from my Queen and we can quickly divide and conquer," Wyaar suggests.
Zane (JCC) AC 36, CMB 22, CMD 39, HP 311/311, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday April 23rd, 2019 11:23:44 PM "Oh, Wyaar, I picked up a wand you can wack us when when we need it.... I believe it's calls Bless Weapon, I think it aligns our weapons to GOOD while active. I can fool the thing into working as well, but it could be handy to have."
DM Mitch Wednesday April 24th, 2019 7:27:04 AM Tink makes her way back from the catacombs jotting down all she can remember about those demons.
Garret requests help in navigating the strange place.
Zane says he hates the chicken woman duck things but he guess that means they have to go there first. He asks if the rest of the gate order is known.
Bosk asks how they can best prepare for full contact gardening, ultimate chicken wrangling and possible diacide.
Wyarr suggests they close ranks around him so he can grant everyone smite.
Zane says he picked up a wand of bless weapon.
Torm says to Beri, “I…..am…..not….sure….if…..the ….. Rest … of the ….order….matters….but...whatever….is….happening….in…..the….chaotic….dimension….threatens….all….of….the….myriads….of…..existences”
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:51/51/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 260/260 Ki:21/21 CMD: 55 SR: 30 DR 10/Choatic] Wednesday April 24th, 2019 10:40:56 AM
Garret wanders to the kitchen to see what might be cooking.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Wednesday April 24th, 2019 12:34:16 PM
"Ok, so we ready to go? Sounds like we've got to save all of existence, plus get some more hearts so that we can...save all of existence. Is that right?"
Restlin's ready to teleport everyone back to the place w/ all the portals.
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Wednesday April 24th, 2019 4:19:36 PM
"[b]I happen to be pretty fond of most of existence. Let's save it." Wyaar agrees with a nod of his head.
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 258/258 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 Wednesday April 24th, 2019 9:41:10 PM So, it doesn't look like we need to prioritize the chickens, but it's going to be something we do eventually. I do still need to make a catacombs run, but it's a real head scratcher this time. How do you plan when you aren't even going to stay in teh same dimension... oh, I forgot to mention. Sounds like the chickens may be in something called the chaotic dimension... soooo... I really hate to say it, but we may need to ask Agatha and the star mages guild about that one.
RobC - Katinka Hushfoot -- AC 34*/24*/25* (Blur, +2 vs Evil) -- CMD 26 -- HP 175/214 -- Spells -- Active Effects Wednesday April 24th, 2019 9:56:48 PM
Tink's eyes go wide "No, uh-uh, not the star mages guild. The WLA have great libraries, and you'll find more books in the Sages Guild that perhaps the rest of the Wold."
She really doesn't want to go to the Star Mages Guild. On the other hand though, she'd be able to deliver her message to them face-to-face.
What to do....
-------------- OOC: Also waiting on approval for Tink's CC order so can't head out just yet
Zane (JCC) AC 36, CMB 22, CMD 39, HP 311/311, Blindsense 60' Character Wednesday April 24th, 2019 10:25:11 PM
Zane double checks and is satisfied he has everything. "Let me know when we're ready to go,I'll reduce to a smaller size...."
Bosk AC:42/19/38 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 113/201 Spells Wednesday April 24th, 2019 10:41:07 PM
ooc: is Tink's order ready? If so I have time to fill it tonight.
Bosk smiles. Think magic circle against chaos will be helpful?
Sesha checks her gear as well. She was ready to move forward in their endeavors.
DM Mitch Thursday April 25th, 2019 7:23:29 AM Garret wonders into the kitchen to see what is cooking.
Restlin announces that they are ready to go save all of existence and hopefully find some more hearts so they can save existence again.
Wyaar opines that he is fond of existence and he is ready to go.
Beri says he thinks they might not have to do the chickens as a priority and wonders if they should consult the Star Mages about it.
Tink is against visiting the Star Mages, but then realizes she could deliver her message personally.
Zane double checks everything and announces he is ready to go.
Bosk wonders if magic circle against choas would be useful.
Sesha is also ready to go.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Thursday April 25th, 2019 10:11:13 AM
"Yea, Star Mages can get bent after that stunt. I'm with Tink on this. Besides, how do you go about preparing for chaos? Throw up a magic circle against it like Bosk said, good idea by the way, and kick it's butt."
Restlin's still ready as soon as Tink gets her gear in order.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:51/51/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 260/260 Ki:21/21 CMD: 55 SR: 30 DR 10/Choatic] Thursday April 25th, 2019 11:07:20 AM
Garret finds some bread and mumbles, "I do not like chaos. Not at all."
Zane (JCC) AC 36, CMB 22, CMD 39, HP 311/311, Blindsense 60' Character Thursday April 25th, 2019 1:50:03 PM "Not a big fan either, but as our own group shows, sometimes it takes a little chaos to win... Look at Restlin's quests for example." Zane is still ready....
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 258/258 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 Thursday April 25th, 2019 9:06:35 PM I think I've gotten as much information from Torm as I am going to get, and my spells are prepared for the day. If you have a cup of coffee ready for me when I get back to the tower, I think I've finished my preparations.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +20/+10/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 135/187 (Spells) Luck Points: 19/28 Thursday April 25th, 2019 9:57:33 PM
"Yea, think about how boring the Iron Dragons would be without me...I mean chaos. Without chaos...and me."
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 38/20/33, CMD 44 , HP 73/169, DR 5/Evil Thursday April 25th, 2019 10:22:36 PM
"We'd certainly not smell as nice" Wyaar remarks to Restlib
Sesha isn't quite ready to just bury the Star Mages, or even Agatha. Everyone has a reason for the things they do, and very few people embrace the idea they are being evil for the sake of evil.

With Tink's order freshly arriving at the Tower she is just about ready to set off.
"So it's the chicken people first?" she asks
She also has a quiet word with Sesha "Any chance you could cast one of those Magic Vestment spells on my shield each day? Sure would help. Mine is only a +1, though does have a few tricks"
DM Mitch Friday April 26th, 2019 8:16:58 AM Restlin is still ready to go as soon as Tink gets her gear together.
Garret finds some bread and mumbles about how he doesn’t like chaos.
Zane is still ready to go as well and he comments on how sometimes it takes a little chaos to win.
Beri says he’s gotten as much information as he can and he’s ready to go.
Restlin comments how boring the group would be without him… he means choas.
Sesha muses that no one thinks themselves evil.
Tink asks Sesha for buffs.
When everyone is finally ready to go the group steps through the teleportation circle and ends up where they teleported from originally and it is only a short-ish walk through the now cleared traps in the bone tower to get to the room where all the portals are.
The caretaker says to the group, “The portal with the irregularities seems more unstable as time passes. It won’t be long before the cover gives out. If possible please investigate the cause of the irregularities and put a stop to it. Everything should be back to normal as soon as the whatever is affecting the malfunctioning portal is addressed.”

"No worries, Mr. Caretaker. That's why we're here."
Restlin starts prepping for battle, which really just means casting a bunch of spells. His luck quest over, he's once again able to choose his preparations.
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:51/51/40; +4 vs AOO; HP: 260/260 Ki:21/21 CMD: 55 SR: 30 DR 10/Choatic] Friday April 26th, 2019 10:54:12 AM
Garret looks around at the others to be sure everyone is really ready for this and then says, "We DO have a way to get back from this crazy place, right?"
Zane (JCC) AC 36, CMB 22, CMD 39, HP 311/311, Blindsense 60' Character Friday April 26th, 2019 3:38:38 PM "Garret, you know better than to ask serious questions like that...Either we'll get back or we'll move on from there to somewhere else. In other words, when have we ever worried about getting back?"
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 258/258 Blink: 50% Blur 20% miss, CMD = 23 Friday April 26th, 2019 9:03:00 PM Also, Garret, we have the Starmages backpack that we should be able to use to get back our world. So that's one less thing to worry about. I'm going to transform into an air elemental before we head through, though I may choose a more fitting form once I evaluate the terrain.
By the way, these transformations have gotten much easier with practice. They don't tire me out like they once did, so I don't have to worry about constantly changing every time the terrain changes or if we need to go indoors at some point.

Before they teleport back to the Bone Tower, Tink makes sure to have her letter sent. Should the party not return at least the Star Mages guild will know what Agatha and Sprocket have been up to, and the feelings they left with the party.
-----------
"Are you going to be able to seal the portal behind us?" Tink asks the caretaker "And if it turns out to be the only way back, do we need a secret knock or something for you to open it?" She's half-kidding. In all seriousness though, she is wanting some way for them to signal to have the seals opened.
She pats down her gear and accounts for all her new tools and tricks.
"Say the word team. I'm ready to take point"
Bosk AC:42/19/38 blink, DR10/magic, electric/10, CMD: HP 113/201 Spells Saturday April 27th, 2019 12:42:26 AM
Bosk waits for the answer to Tink's question. I do not suppose Word of Recall would let us come back here? Is there any chance we can get an exception masses so we can teleport into the tower from another plane or location?
