A dark figure lurks silently in the shadows, watching all that transpires with furtive eyes.

'A giant, a human and an android walk into a bar. Sounds like the set up to a bad joke.' Thought the lumbering giant.

Dot.

Behind the dark figure another dark figure walks up, but the glow if its eyes give away it being there. It looks in the direction of the 1st dark figure and says to the darkness.

"Dark night to be out this late"

This dark figure has on a very well made uniform, that scream The law. It dose not stop but walks on along the city street, its mind on other things.

It is a quick trip through the Mage's Lab. it wasn't too spectacular, just a step through the Teleportation Circle. You emerge in the Chamber Of a mage's laboratory. The man- if that's what you could call it- waiting for you claps his strange patchwork hands together. His right arm is entirely made out of bronze, as well as his right leg and half of his face. the rest of him is a strange mix of flesh and clay. the man bows to you. So glad you could come, all of you... as if that matters. you had little Choice! you come, or we make you, simple as that now isn't it, hehehe. his voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Anyways, the Artificer's Guild is Glad to have you. you see, we are very low on willing subjects, after all... just look at me. who would want to volunteer for a group of people who do this to themselves after all?


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

She appeared noting it was still active she stepped off it. Active means others would be coming. As the 1st she wanted to take in the space. Had have a privet chat. Perception 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

The woman has on a simple uniform, well made and with a smile thin block like backpack. On her belt in a long thin blade, and strapped to her leg a strange looking gun. There is something odd about her, it's could be her lack of movement, she stands a little to still, Her eyes blinking a little slower than a normal human. But something is off. See looked around taking in the lab taking in the set up.
When one get handed a note form the city watch commander asking for your attendance at a meeting of the crafting guild one likes to be early. Lady Steel was not cheap to hire and if a guild wanted you to work for them one liked to be prompt. Knowledge Local 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Greetings" she said his name in Magitecho-mancer "You knew I would come, there is no need for threats."
Then she stops her inspection of the lab and looks strait at him. Her voice taking on a cold hard edge.
"Mind you, while on the subject of threats if any harm should befall me here, there will be... repercussions."
A calculating edge that spoke secret guild things she knew.
Intimidate 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30

She gives that time to sink in. She had worked for the guild before, many times. This was her occupation and on some of those actions things had been uncovered best left hidden. This thing would know she would have taken precautions to protect herself form any sudden Accidents.
Leverage helped to keep one safe, when one walked the halls of power.
The edge now gone she went on.

"As for what you have done to yourselves here"
She hold up her hand and flexes it.
"Your magitech flesh crafting is functional but lacks.... elegance in my view."
She put her hand back down, cutting to the point she added.
"I take it other are on their way, so I will wait to ask why we are and why have you requested my services until they arrive"

Spotting a seat she moved to it and sat down, and waited for the rest of the summoned.


Suddenly appearing from the other side of the teleportation circle, a new stranger appeared.

Standing over 7ft tall, with nearly white blonde hair that draped his shoulders alongside a very old looking zweihander, which was taller than most people. The man shared the look of humans, yet something was off about him, from his blueish hued skin, his piercing blue eyes as deep as the sea or his stature.
This strange man wore an immaculate breastplate carved in runes of some sort of silvery metal along with a short cape made from the hide of a polar bear.

The Jovial man walked up the the pair of people, smiling while the air around him sells of honey."Did I hear you say "volunteer"?". Letting out a bellowing laugh.
His mirth will quickly became sullen, not sure of what this "man" had in store for him, was he to be paid? Was he forced to come here?
'I better get my weight in gold, if not his arm and leg should fetch a fine price.'
Sense Motives: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Walking over to the strange man,"Did you just threaten me? That's not the right way to get help, keep it up and maybe I will rip off your left arm and help and turn you into a god damned art piece! Make me angry, I can feel my blood beginning to boil."
As the man began to roared at the clockwork servant, he quickly grew in size and weight. Towering over him, it was clear this man was a giant of sorts. Using his powerful voice and stature to intimidate the clockwork being.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 10 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 10 + 4 = 25


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

Lady Steel stood as the giant came over moving to put some distance between herself and the Artificer's Guild agent. As this blue monstrosity of a man past her and went to confront Agent. She was impressed by his size.
"Just the kind of fellow one would want with you in a fight, that one."

She did not want her employer to get hurt so she said from behind.

"Sir, your size is truly impressive, and I for would have no fear you could not make true on your words. But could I suggest we let the Guild agent explain himself... before one tries ones sculptural talents on him. I also think we may not be the only ones called here, they may wish to talk to him as well."

Diplomacy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24


Breathing in heavily the giant will turn around to hear where the voice of reason came from.
'A woman to calm me down, huh sounds like something from a child's tale.'

"Hmm, you might be right. Probably best to not to turn him into a sculpture, although they could pay me for the decoration at least."

Letting out a boisterous laugh that fills the chamber, the giant will laugh and slowly shrink back down.
"It's easier to speak to you like this, not as hard on the neck."
The giant will rub his neck as if it was strained.
"The name is Gaston, Gaston Nadrojsson."

the Wizard-clockwork-thing frowns at the Giant of a man... Truly you don't think you can beat me do you? never mind that. no that was not a threat, simply a joke on my part. the bronze cast features of the man's face make it hard to read him... but he seems to be just joking with you.

Now, where is our last... eh... volunteer. or is she already here? I was told she was a skilled Sneak. the man-thing huffs. In any case, i must introduce myself, I am Ferin. I will be your handler for your work with the Guild. you should be honored that they sent me, anyone else and they would have sent a lesser handler, someone more likely to pocket the gold meant for you... I have little need for the meager sums that such wealth can bring, so all the more for you.

the man seems pleased with steel calming the Giant, but otherwise doesn't seem amused at either of your attempts to threaten him.


Now realising the scope of the situation, Gaston does his best to remedy what damage was caused.

"Please forgive me for my outburst Ferin, we giants are a boisterous bunch of tough beings, I've been out in the wilderness of Crystios for sometime now.
I would honour your agreement, you have my word."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Sovereign Court

Ferin smiles at the giant Gaston and says, Of course. I once went to Crystios, the terrain was very harsh. I understand your actions. now, do you have any questions on your jobs? or should i just throw you in blindly, whichever you prefer, I know that not all people like knowing the fine print.


Gaston will ponder for a moment.
'Hmm probably best to get some information.'

Gaston Snapped out of his thoughts,"I cannot speak for the others, but I like details. Better to be overburdened than underprepared. Tell us Ferin, what does our job entail to the guild? Where will we be going and does the Guild have tools or transportation for us? I'm sure there is much you can't discuss but any details helps."

Well if you haven't deduced it yet, you are in Tyrantias on the main Isle. The guild has hired you to escort some researchers into the deep cavers of the island. it has been a full five centuries since we last delved into the deep caverns of our islands. you are to make sure nothing kills our research group... by clearing out the tunnels ahead. of course, the tunnels are ancient, you will be the first to see them in a very long time. what likely infests the lower tunnels are the machines of the Isle and possibly undead... but what undead there are would be truly ancient. living fossils. but you have full claim of what you find. As long as you want it and can determine what it is. the Guild has claim on any of the machines you disable, as well as the tunnels themselves.

Last to exist the teleportation circle, a short blond with elegantly wrought features enters the chamber. Pausing momentarily, she glances at both the guildmaster and the giant-blooded warrior with thinly veiled distaste. A servant race and a crudely made fleshcrafter with a penchant for self-experimentation.

Volunteer is not the choice of words I would choose to describe my presence. I choose to work for the guild solely because it holds a position of strength.

Give me the details for this so-called job and ensure you have my compensation ready upon my return.

Turning to face those who appear to be her new companions, she addresses them in a crisp voice, heavily accented with an unknown language. I will be addressed as Akashira. I know not how this monstrousity came to hold sway over you, nor do I care. Let us accomplish this task as quickly as possible.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

Seeing the giant clam down and start to ask questions. Lady Steel made her way back to her seat. She looked around the room again as the agent talked of another volunteer. One that may already be here.

"So we have a sneak as well, she must be good if she is already here, I can't detect her."

Getting to her seat, Lady steel lifts off the small oblong pack from her pack and reaches inside. She pulls out a small writing box, siting she lifts out some sheets of paper, they have on printed content, she starts to make a few changes. Once done she got up and walked over to the a table, clearing a space she placed four sheets of paper on it.

"once we have concluded this Question and A, this is a standardized contract, with clauses relevant to the specifics of this endeavor. Noting share options and items found which mush be handed to the guild. for payment it covers a standard basic day rate of £250 gold per day, plus expenses, this starting at an up front lump sum of 3000 gold each for supplies, equipment and healing. If you wish me to amend any element please state it and I will. Sign and keep a copy each. Guild agent Ferin, please sign each contract."

She waited on the others, pen in hand.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

no idea why my auto spell checker added the £ sign there

She left the pen and contracts on the table and waled around the lab as if aimlessly looking at this and that, She was careful to touch nothing. Every now and the she looked up inspecting the place itself.[/ooc]

"I must admit giuld agent Ferin, the idea of an archeological expedition to the under labyrinth dose sound some what appealing. I take it you yourself will not be coming. So I think we would all like to know who will be the senior researcher overseeing the giuld element of the delving team. By the way, my fellows, I like to be called The Lady Steel Orchid, but Steel or Lady steel is just fine on trips like this. It is good to meet your aqutance and others who may be listening in."

She let that dink is to her recruited fellows, the giuld liked to keep tabs on there activitys and it was not uncommon for them to place hearing devices in meetings.

"Now let's cut to the chase, one dose not simply walk into the under tunnels on a whim, not after 400 years. One needs a very good reson to fund such trip. Would you like to inform us of what that is?."

She took her seat once more.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

Sorry Retro actions just a little bit, did not spot Akashira's post. Edited actions

"So we have a sneak as well."

Lady steel reaches inside a small oblong pack. Taking out four sheets of paper and a pen. She makes a few notes then places on a cleared bench.

"They are the same standardized contract, with clauses relevant to the specifics of this endeavor. Noting share options and items found which mush be handed to the guild. for payment it covers a standard basic day rate of 250 gold per day, plus expenses, this starting at an up front lump sum of 3000 gold each for supplies, equipment and healing. If you wish me to amend any element please state it and I will. Guild agent Ferin, please sign each contract after us then we will sign and keep."

She left the pen and contracts on the table and walked around the lab as if aimlessly looking at this and that, She was careful to touch nothing. Every now and the she looked up inspecting the place itself.

"I must admit guild agent Ferin, the idea of an archaeological expedition dose sound some what appealing. I take it you yourself will not be coming. So I think we would all like to know who will be the senior researcher overseeing the guild element of the delving team. By the way, my fellows, Master Nadrojsson, Akashira."

She bows her head to each.

"I like to be called The Lady Steel Orchid, but Steel or Lady steel is just fine on trips like this. It is good to meet your acquaintance and others who may be listening in."

She let that hand and the connotations that came with it.

"Now guild agent Ferin let's cut to the chase shall we, one dose not simply walk into the under tunnels on a whim, not after 400 years. One needs a very good reson to fund such trip. Would you care to inform us what that is?."


Gaston will read over the contract.
'Hmm, 3000 gold, 250 per day. This is a good bit of coin.'
"These terms of service seem agreeable, I accept. It will be a pleasure to work with you both, Lady Steel and Akashira."

Sovereign Court

game master

Ferin scowl at the terms. I am not at liberty to accept these terms... the Guild has a system in place, you will be offered 1000 gold for every Area you clear. now these areas are very small and easy to deal with. you will also be paid with the treasure you find as well as a few select supplies we offer. I am the Senior, and I am coming... I will just be busy establishing safe points behind you. If anything where to slip past...
Ferin sighes and holds up his hand to stop any complaints.
as for the reasons for the expedition, there have been some interesting discoveries on other Isles, one in particular hinted at the Creators of these Islands being hidden somewhere in the lower caverns. normally we set up expeditions to expand your city, or to acquire more Eldritch power gems. this time however, we are headed to the core of the island. where there is said to be the control station for all five islands. He quickly pulls out a rod, the metal is copper and is tipped with a needle, similar to a lightning rod... this is a rod of lightning bolts. an invention of mine. this is all i will provide to you before the expidition. to activate it, you simply have to press this button, here on the handle. it is powered by a spell gem, and has 25 charges left in it. here's how it works...

How it works:

so, the rod of lightning can be used by any class proficient with at least a club. it makes ranged attacks that deal 1d6 lightning damage per charge expended. they are ranged touch attacks. you can expend up to 3 charges at once, to a maximum of 3d6 lightning damage. the modifier for critical is x2. to recharge the Rod, you simply have to expend spell levels into the gem, up to a maximum of 25 levels, or charges. the caster level of this item is equal to the number of charges expended.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

She takes the rod and while looking at it says.

"Arrrre... now that is interesting."

She turns it over in her hands and seem to be talking to herself when say says next. The detectives mind started to work, she felt her higher thought levels expand. There was danger here, the others sort wealth but what she had just been told was beyond coin. She needed to clear something up and inform the others.

"Conjecture, recent information has come to light, hinting at or stating the Existence of a Island central control some where deep underground on this island. Such a control center should it be found would give any who could secure, operate and/or exploit it vast power over the 5 realms of the islands. One could dictate island direction of movement say, and with such that islands clement. Such power would give control over all on it. Knowledge of such a thing along would hold a high price. The Probability that such information would be kept secret would also be low. So it is known or suspected by the guild that others know about this. That such others would be taking thire own steps to find and secure this control center should it exists. This then means we will know only be facing the remnants of what ever security was place around this control center, but also 3ed party's who may also be down there seeking the same prize as the guild."

She handed on the device to her fellows.

"This if true would explain the threats, lock of resources, there are only three of us, and why you yourself Guild agent Ferin, will be coming along. There would be considerable pressure placed on who ever was picked to lead such an expedition to sussed, why allowing others to gain control, again the knowledge such a center would hold. I do not see the guild looking kindly on such a one. Could be a career end'er"

She looked hard into his eyes.

"This is all Conjecture, and surmises that this is a fully supported expedition by the guild and not some dinky power-play by a single member who as gleaned knowledge before his peers and thing they will take to long or that he can gain control before they know what has happened."

She dose not brake the hard cold look.

"Is that not right Guild agent Ferin"

Akashira nods in agreement, 1000 gold plus all retrieved items. We will see just how difficult it is to clear these "small" areas you seem so interested. in.

And we will see just who these creators are. These islands appear far beyond your guilds ability to create.

You are welcome to the wand Steel. Such clumsy devices would only hinder me.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

Then she did a thing she could do, a means to send message to others with out being overheard.

@Akashira:

Using her Team work feat.
{your treated as having this Teamwork feat but get no benefit from it. So the messages go one way, unless you also have the full feat. Sudo telepathy in other words with line of sight. Bonded Mind [Team word feat]
You and your partner are so close that you can almost read each other's minds. Benefit(s): As long as you can see each other, you and an ally who also has this feat can trade nonverbal messages.

::"Thank you Akashira, you and you alone can hear me, I am sorry but this kind of communication only goes one way, so I can't hear your response but I can see you, so nods will work. We may be in danger here, If this Guild agent Ferin has taken on this by himself and the fact he so freely told us about this, may mean we are not expected to live past its completion. I need to check this is a Full guild expatiation. If not we may need to find a way out of this, if you agree nod once."::

Ferin frowns at Steel. Well, yes, the... eh... the guild is fully aware of my actions and have sanctified my mission. in no way is this just me backing this mission. in fact, it was the counsel's Idea to give this job to me, I am after all the lead expert in decryption.

Ferin seems nervous at your prodding, but he has no reason to lie to you. we are expected to find some resistance with others tring to gain control of the center themselves. but we aren't even sure this is the proper island. We only assume because it is the largest and possibly the oldest.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

"I see Guild agent Ferin, thank you for being so canned."

Bluff DC13:

Bluff 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

She dose not believe him, but has let that go.

"would it be possible to see the reserch that lead to this discovery, it may give us insight into the kinds of defenses and problems we may meet down there. Also it may hint at a safe root, or shortest path. I would not like to stroll around a possible maze blindly while other are racing us to the prize, any knowledge could give you the advantage."

Diplomacy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

@Akashira and Gaston Nadrojsson:

::"See him squirm, his under some stress, it could be this is the official expedition but they expect others in the guild or outside to be making attempts. If this was disused in council the the word is out I have no doubt. As they say, the ships of state is the only ships that leak form the top. But here is the key thing, forget the money, who ever can secure that control room can name their price. So I suggest we agree no matter what and look to take advantage later"::

Ferin looks at steel, his look, apprehensive. the Research is vague, written in a language not of this world. some words can be translated when in conjunction with Aquan, Draconic, Celestial, and Aklo. but it is only a few short phrases. the translation simply reads: "in the Heart of it all lies the Minds of the many" we have spent hours debating on whether this means there is a control center, or if it is just some nonsensical madness... but their is enough merit to approve this trip.

i want to say, this may slow a little, i just got a new job schedule and so may have different posting times. nights will not be good for me and earlier is out of the question. more like some time in the middle of the day... approximately noon-7 mountain time. this will be my last post for the day.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

I live and work in China, GMT+8, teach Biz at a uni here.

She turns and goes looking at items again.

"Arr very cryptic, I can see great the great minds of the guild spending late nights playing guess the meaning with that one. But its is good to know. So this is a high risk best guess venture. Explains the lack of resources, why rick to much on a guess. I bet someone put there neck on the line to make even this happen. O the loss of standing should they be wrong."

She stops and looks at Guild agent Ferin, a rye smile on her face, The 1st time she has even moved her face.

"Was it you Guild agent Ferin who suggested this, must have been a hard sell but they agreed. I think it was and now you reputation is in our hands. So shall we drop the threats and try a new tactic humm. How about help me prove to them that I was right, and you shall share in the spoils and fame I think you will find us for more 'committed' to the success of this venture should that line be taken."

She some how had gotten to the table with the contracts, she rolled them up and put them back in her pack.


I work odd jobs here and there and am at uni, so we will work around each other the best we can.

Gaston will put his hand on face, slowly nodding.
"Come on Ferin, I know we didn't start off on the most friendly note, but surely the Guild could offer us a little more? This job sound like the upmost importance and what you will be getting will surely be more than than what we're getting paid."
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Gaston masks his dislike of the little wizard, yet money was tight.
"If the guild cannot spare a small boon, I will accept your offer."

Lady Steel noted Gaston's dislike of the little man, it matched her own. But she said nothing.

@steel and Gaston: you find that Ferin is hiding something, perhaps a bit more information, but there also seems a good reason for his discretion, seeing that he may not know who to trust.

I was only a supporter, the real facilitator is the counsel-man, or in his case counsel-Dragon, Ziro. The dragon has much interest here, and he has been alive for quite a long time... it was him that translated the script. I work for him, he is the one to gain the most benefit from this. I support him, for he was my teacher. I of course will be getting far more than you! After all, Ziro is getting wary of his position on the counsel, and he wants me to take up after him. doing this will ensure me my place at the Table.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

Kn local on Zero takes 1d6 ⇒ 6 20+10+=36

Closes her eyes thinking for a while. She stands still as her mind walks her memory palace going over the items and information located there about ziro the dragon. Vast streets and hall ways crammed full of facts. She looks for relvent ones.

Akashira suddenly looks far more interested at the mention of the guildman's mentor.Among my people there is an old proverb, "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never cut a deal with a dragon."

I'll help you find your control center, for as long as you make things interesting for me, but I somehow doubt you will ever sit at that council table.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

What information she had coming to mind, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Well I think we are agreed, we will undertake this. So lets talk tactics"

She looks the other two up and down.

"With you being our scout and sneak Akashira, do you have a soundless means to communicate back to us?"

"Gaston I have seen you size and power, what kind of combat do you favor."

She sits once more.

"I myself can heal and use, magics as well as"

She pulls the odd gun like weapon from her hip holster.

"This can do things you may not have seen before"


Gaston pacing around will stop when questioned.
"Well I can throw this canon balls about 70ft no problem."
Pointing to the four canon clinging to his waist.

"I excel at melee hand to hand combat, get me angry and it sends me into a supernatural state. I don't envy those that need to face my zweihander or fists."

Akashira considers Steel's question for a few moments before replying. I can manage to communicate unobtrusively.

I'll work drawing attention back to Gaston. He's intimidating enough to hold the attention of most reasonable opponents. I just hope we don't start crawling through goblin warrens. I'm not sure he'll fit.


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

Steel quit suddenly chuckles at that, she is not as inhuman as she seems.

"You are not wrong there, Akashira. Well if we are luck some of the Graft guild with us may have good weapons. So I think we may need to have them back as a fall back line as we push ahead. Undead and Mecha, well that is a painful mix, lets hope they are old and unwise to the modern way of doing things. I can heal to a point, so my hope is I can keep us all healthy"

sorry for the wait

@steel:
Ziro is short of Ziroxithasiso, the Bronze dragon has been on the Counsel of the Islands for several millennium. little is known about him before he became a counsel member, but his seat has always been one for honor and respect... although it is rumored that Ziro is actually a Red Draco-lich, and the real Ziro has been dead for several years... although nothing is proven. In recent years he has sanctioned alot of the research into the deeper tunnels.

Firin huffs at Akashira I make my deals where i please, I am after all going to be far older than you ever will!


Android Inquisitor / Investigator (Steel Hound) [L10/L10]

"Well now we have that all agreed, I think we can move on to where you will meet your expedition team and when? Once we know that we can get started on preparations"

Says looking at him coldly.


"Working for a Dragon, so it has come to this eh?" Gaston tenses up at the idea.

Gaston's eyes will dart towards bronze spellcaster,"Ferin or is it Firin? Not with that attitude you won't, listen we need to calm down this pissing contests on ranks and deals,etc. We're going into unknown territory, so if any of us want to make it out we need to work together."

Sits and rubs her temples as if weary of the talking now.

@Gaston and Akashira:

::"I need to tell you things about this being and the Dragon he works for but not here. I have a feeling if we do not agree no matter the deal, We will not get out of here alive to tell the tail of what was said. So we must agree and seek advantage after."::

She looks up.

"Gaston I think we have all agreed to be part of this, now we have moved on to the details of the expedition"

She look's at him a moment then at Akashira and back to the guild agent.

"Well we have time to get supply's before we set off?"

@Steel and Gaston:
I agree. I don't trust either of them.

I will need to night to properly prepare for this expedition. We'll need maps and as much detailed information as possible on the are we will be entering.

Ferin grumbles to himself before saying. yes, you have been provided rooms here! The teleportation circle will bring you to them. We will meet tomorrow at the last outpost established in the tunnels. The circle will also take you there, a simple task of just asking. Now, if there is anything else, I'm sure you will be answered on the marrow. with that, Ferin turns away and steps into the same teleportation circle you came in by.
Use this time to state any crafting or prepitory actions for the night. Having some issues posting, but putting in my best effort!

Turning, Akashira traces a brief bow to Steel before stepping on the teleportation circle. I wish you all a good night. I would offer to spend the evening storing this rather odd city, but I fear I am still somewhat unprepared these days. It would be best if I were to retire to my quarters and continue my preparations.

Akashira will retire to her rooms, where she will work on enchanting a Dusty Rose Prism ioun stone. It should take ~10 partial days or 5 full days to complete.

I will need to get my full set of spellbooks on my character sheet. I am currently only showing the spells I actually have prepped. I will also be adjust memorized spells slightly. At a minimum, I want to make sure I have Message available.


Following the lead of the other, Gaston will make his way to the teleportation circle."I'm rather tired, I need my rest for tomorrow. We should all do the same, let us hope our we're ready for the unknown." With that Gaston steps into the teleportation circle and vanishes to his chamber.

I'm going to use this time before we start playing to fix some of the magic items I bought, I miscalculated and I need to fix some values. Everything should be totally polished for tomorrow. I'm going to head off to workout soon and wake up early for my birthday tomorrow.

Lady steel stood alone in the strange mage's laboratory. While she had been walking around she had been studying the items to hand. Now she was alone she would have time to search. She was not like the others, they needed sleep and food. She only needed two hours to maintain herself and she had long ago found a means to gain sustenance with out the need to eat.

Walking along around the odd room, she looked for a door into the mean lab. If the Agent was not willing to give them items it could be she could find some of use.

Actions:

She is going to spend time, searching the space or rooms. Looking for things that can help the party in this. Spell books, any kind of note books, items of use. If she can get into the lab true she will look for more info on what they are upto.

Perception Takes 20+15 =35 +5vs traps

uses: detect Secret doors

Sift for range.

Once she has a good hunt around she will head back to the teleport room.

Lady steel took a little longer then the other two too step onto the teleporter and go to her rooms.

She will study what she finds, she writes 2 letters, she knows the city having lived there for a long while, She rests in mediation for 2 hours and then check her powers and equipment.

Lady steel finds a few vials labeled "Danger:Do not drink!" And some tell take signs of acid within. Other than that, she finds some notes on human annatomy and some schematics for constructs. In the back is a locked door, the sign on the door says "no entry, Eletical Wires".

Finally, steel manages to find a few energy crystals, however they seem depleted.
Will advance the story tomorrow if I can... BTW, Happy birthday Gaston's player ;)

Takes nothing, well because that would be stealing, she dose make notes how ever, once done she heads to her room v the teleport.

Sorrt for my lack of activity, but I'm back. the night passes without event. Your rooms are well kept, and appear to be made of stone. There is a assortment of books on shelves, but alot of them are just petty drivel about the local fauna.

In the morning a man comes through the teleporter. He is quite young, no more than 16 in human years. He holds a pad and a quill.o-okay, I'm here to get you-u to ready your transfer to the outpost. the boy is half-elf, and is wareing the robes of the artificers guild.

Closing the book she is reading, Akashira looks up. If you are ready, then so am I.

She was laying on the bed,when he came into being. Her clothing still on and stering at the ceiling. For a while she did not respond to the half elfs words. Then she blinked once and in one graceful move stood up.

"I see, please call my Lady Steel and when you say get me ready just what does that entail precisely?"

She blinked again once flowly her eyes fixed only on him.
