Amir stands on the dock waiting, with his hands on his hips, simply watching the boat come, It would be our luck that some insane stowaway reside on the boat sure to take out their revenge upon us or the need for a meal or something...

Varkata chuckles, "Our luck? More likely there's a band of gnoll archers and ballistae...and the ship's being towed by a grumpy kraken.".

Channel: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 4, 4) = 16

That should do it -- 4 channels and most of my spells remaining.


don't give me any ideas...

As the great golden galley finally draws near, the sweeping oars back stroke to slow her speedy progress and then are drawn into the ship as it drifts to the pier. It stops just beyond the burned and blasted end waiting.

All that can be seen aboard is a great ram headed figure of bronze at the tiller.

Feeling the smell of alcohol wash over her causing her wounds to seal shut, Kzrira smile at Varkata.

Thank you, much better.

As the ship approaches, she watches it slyly.
Karethas, does you staff have any insight on the ship? Any threats? Do we just get on?

Karethas sighs, "Her name is Gen and she is a djinn, a Zhyen specifically, and she has been very helpful so far. She said the ship was safe when last she traveled here, but we have seen that things have changed."

How big is the gap from the dock to the ship?

Unless the distance is something atrocious...

Amir takes a dash along the dock and jumps to the boat, pulling Simin and Sholeh as he goes. Not in the mood to give anything a chance to ambush us.

Once on board the rogue casts a critical eye about to assess the situation. Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Varkata looks at the dock and the boat, "I guess whatever force is piloting the boat isn't terribly adaptive. I can ferry us over with a fly spell, if need be."

Kzrira looks at the water and then at Varkata.
I hate to use you as a taxi service. However, I REALLY do not want to go swimming. The hydra may be no more, but we have also seen sharks and I would prefer to not learn what else these alien waters hold.


"Thank you, Master. I'll choose to ignore "The Bow"'s ignorance. I actually have not been to Kakishon before, but I listened closely to Andrathi. I do not think we have anything to fear. The Nexian Helmsman would not allow anyone to take the Galley."

With a running leap, Amir vaults from the end of the blasted pier to the boat about ten feet off. Once aboard he sees no one except the minotaur -like brass statue that steers the ship. It makes no move as he peers around.

Kzrira calls out:
Nice leap old man. Figure for sure those spindly legs were going to be fish food for a moment.

She then takes her rope and tosses it to Amir.
Tie it off and Karethas and Varkata should be able to climb across. I will then try to jump as you did.
--> unless there is something to tie the rope off to, in which case she will tie two lengths of rope together and climb across them.

Karethas gives the rope a skeptical look, "I am not good at...."He just waves his hand vaguely towards the rope. He looks over the edge of the dock at the water below and shrugs uncertainly. "I suppose since the hydra IS gone and there IS water below that I will try it."


Despite Karethas' misgivings, all are aboard very shortly and again find the ancient galley abandoned except for the lone brass figure at the tiller.

At Kzrira's comment Amir merely snorts as he looks about. Once they are safely aboard the rogue looks over at Karethas and Gen, Will the boat know to leave or do we need to sound the horn again?

Varkata nods as Amir asks the question she was about to. "Or does the nice minotaur statue obey commands?", she adds.

Still not entirely comfortable, despite Karethas' diminutive friend's assurances, Kzrira moves to the bow of the ship where she takes point scanning the water in front of the ship for any threats.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

The little genie shrugs. "Only one way to find out." She flits over to hover in front of the brass ram's head. "Take us to the Palace!" she commands. The great head nods and as if by some silent command, the oars extend on their own. They sweep forward moving the ship back from the dock and then reverse to kill the momentum and pull forward as the Helmsman makes a hard turn. In moments, the figurehead is aimed out of the bay and the living ship churns through the water faster than most ships could sail.

Karethas raises his eyebrows in surprise as the zhyen quickly gets the galley moving. He casts Detect Magic and starts moving around the ship, studying the dweomers that animate and propel it. After some time he changes focus and looks for any amenities available on board. "I would suggest that the time we waited is going to be at least close to the time it will take us to get to the Palace. So we should probably make ourselves comfortable." Following his own advice, Karethas settles and spends the time further studying the Ram's skin and it's powerful spells.

Just checking out the boat for flavor, I assume I wouldn't learn anything particularly useful.

Hmmm, what is the slurping sound? Oh yeh, you discover that the boat is in fact a giant Mimic.


again, don't give me any ideas!

Karethas is probably correct on the time of arrival as usual so you settle in for the journey. Kzrira at the bow keeps a close look out and Karethas begins a full investigation of the mythic magics used to create the living ship and golem-like Helmsman. At least until he is disturbed by Gen's giggling from the prow as she swoops back forth through the spray occassionally sending a splash of water at the face of the archer on watch.

Amir and Varkata find something to occupy themselves. I'd recommend gambling as Varkata can only profit from Amir's legendary bad luck with dice...

Kzrira pretends to ignore the insufferable genie and continues to enjoy the sea breeze through her hair as she scans the water for anything of note.

Amir is no fool. He either plays no stakes or none at all against a servant of the god of drunken gambling. Or whatever he represents ;)

Varkata is willing to use "drinks to be purchased later" as stakes. Drunken god, after all.


The marvelous animated ship clears the bay turning southward into a channel that lies between two discordant mountainous shores. To the east, a verdant jungle skirts the rocky peaks of sun drenched mountains and to the west, a seemingly impossible frozen mount glistening with new snow down to its shores. Finally, it pulls up to a welcoming harbor on the eastern coast furnished with a half-dozen docks and animate ships sitting at the ready.

A welcoming hostel awaits at the harborside, but your eyes are immediately drawn up a winding road paved with bricks of polished white marble, flanked by manicured and artfully shaped topiary. Arbors of brass bedecked with hanging grapevines perfume the air with their sweetness and shade the path as it wends its way up the garden slope towards a magnificent palace of white and gold that overlooks the harbor. The legendary Pleasure Palace of Kakishon lies before you.

As the golden galley coasts into dock, two scantily clad servants, one male, one female, emerge from the hostel and wave.

Kzrira raises her eyebrows and looks to her companions:
This just gets stranger by the moment. Man eating gnolls on one shore, pleasure slaves on the other.

This seems...very off.

Amir steps off on to the dock warily and waves back.

Well...might as well see how luxurious our ends might be...

"Perhaps some areas of this realm have aged better than others.....Keep your wits about you none the less." Karethas smiles as he disembarks, serenely walking towards the servants.


The attractive man and woman genuflect at your approach and then smile charmingly. "Greetings," the man says. "I am Auroz and this is Neshari. Are you in Kakishon for business or pleasure?"

"Hopefully both!" Karethas says with a wide smile. ""Our information about the situation here seems to be quite dated. We were surprised by the dilapidated conditions on the last island. The docks looked as they had been damaged for some time. Can you catch us up with how the dimension fares as a whole?"

Varkata yawns as the shore approaches, sighing, "Not sure I'm built for these long sea trips... especially without a few tankards to pass the time."

She stretches herself out and steps onto the dock, following the others, curious about the two servants. When the mage steps forward, her eyes narrow skeptically, How are they still here? Are they immortal? And what do they want...

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13


Auroz laughs and shrugs, "Sorry, no business here. Pleasure is quite a different matter, however." He smiles invitingly at Varkata. He seems quite mortal to the libertine priest.

Neshari looks at Karethas with interest. "You have come from the Serpent Isles? Do you have the horn of the Golden Ram?" she asks excitedly. "Please, blow it for us or I could blow it if you like... I have some talent in that area," she adds with a playful little smile.

Kzrira stands back and watches the interchange, expecting some type of deceit to break out at any moment.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 <-- to determine whether there are any ulterior motives of these two other than those they are currently expressing

Amir either pulls out or gestures for the horn and blows it as requested. He offers a bit of a scathing glance to the others in their reticance.


yeah, we should clarify who is holding the horns.

The horn is sounded and a splendid fanfare arises from the nearby marble pavilion. Neshari claps excitedly. A moment later a small air elements flies down from the palace and presents her with a papyrus scroll sealed with golden wax.

Neshari genuflects slow and low before Amir gazing up at him with big soft eyes that compete with her ample cleavage from this angle. Then she hands him the scroll with a wink and steps back to Auroz's side.

The scroll reads as follows:

Greetings to you, most honored guest! Please allow my servants to escort you to the Grand Hall, where I shall wait to greet you and your companions. – Dilix Mahad, Major Domo of Kakishon.


Female Human Fighter/6, Ranger/1, Wizard(Spirit Whisper)/1, Arcane Archer/1 - (HP: 64/98; AC27/30; FF21/24; T18; F+10, R+11, W+7/+9; Perc: +13, Init +5)

Kzrira listens as the scroll is read before looking to the others.
What exactly is a Major Domo?

Karethas clearly appreciates Neshari's excellent balance and posture. "Thank of it as the highest ranking person among servants and staff. A person of power and responsibility within this realm. He would often speak in his master's name. So try to be nice." Karethas turns back to Neshari with a wide smile, "It would be our pleasure to meet the Major Domo. Would you please show us to the Grand Hall?"

Kzrira grumbles under her breath trusting these strange have garbed people as far as she did the gnolls, which rest of the party so willingly followed into several ambushes on the last island. Nonetheless, she follows the others carefully watching all about her in the hope of seeing whatever trick fate should decide to toss their way next.

Varkata shrugs, then smiles, "Aren't we always nice? Especially if they have ale?"


Varkata Steeleye wrote:
Varkata shrugs, then smiles, "Aren't we always nice? Especially if they have ale?"

"Oh, I hope so," smiles Auroz as he offers the priestess an arm. "I'm sure we can provide some ale and anything else you might desire..." Neshari leads the way up the marble stairs offering a lovely view of her full swaying hips.

There are other wonders to be seen as you ascend to the palace. Small water elementals water the blooming riot of plants, while their air brethren pluck high fruits. Even earth elementals haul heavy loads up the slope and a couple of fire elementals burn trash and dry the water splashed upon the stairs.

Finally, you reach the ornate plaza before the palace which features an open colonnade. The pillars are topped with carved griffons and shedu planters, wings outstretched to form arches and plants and vines providing cool shade to the stone. Long, narrow pools teem with brightly colored fish and water-lotus, while fountains of carved stone and polished brass tinkle pleasantly and songbirds trill in the hanging gardens above.

You are led through the heavy brazen gates of the palace, each marked with Nex’s symbol and a relief of the archwizard himself with arms outstretched in welcome and into the foyer of the great hall, which seems oddly barren. Auroz goes ahead to announce you to Dilix leaving you in the capable hands of Neshari.

Karethas smile fades slightly as he notices the relief of Nex, I don't remember any of the stories painting Nex as so excessively benevolent. When they reach the great hall, Karethas asks Neshari, "I would have assumed that the great pleasure palace of Nex would have more visitors, but I know that the main entrance into the realm has been damaged. Has this caused his staff any undo hardships?"

Varkata watches the elementals with interest, That's interesting... Are they all bound here? Or are they cheerful servants like those two? She turns her attention back to the palace, Overblown and self-promoting.... Exactly what I'd expect of a wizard...

She keeps her opinion to herself and watches Neshari carefully, trying to gauge the reaction to Karethas' questions, The unspoken answers may be the most informative...

" Has this caused his staff any undo hardships?"

Neshari looks thoughtful as if plumbing the limits of her philosophical depths. "Life can have inconveniences, but we chose to focus on its more pleasurable aspects," she replies giving the young wizards a harming smile. If there is more to her than a simple pleasure slave, Varkata cannot detect it.

Auroz returns in time with another lovely woman, this time more formally arrayed in fine clothing and jewelry. She is assisted by a pair of tall exotic looking males.

"Greetings Heroes! Many welcomes to Kakishon. Surely you are brave and powerful to defeat the Golden Ram. I am Dilix and on behalf of our long disappeared master, I welcome you and proclaim a magnificent feast be held in your honor this very night!"

Amir bows deeply, We are humbled to be lavished with such warmth, especially here in one of the jewel's of Nex's glory. I know my group is weary and, to be honest, wary from many fraught travels. We would gladly attend such a feast but first, might we have a chance to clean ourselves up, rest and get our bearings? I know that I for one wish to be sharp in mind and full of energy when you regale us with all your splendid palace has to offer and tell us stories of its greatness...


"Certainly, brave champions! Your servants will guide you to your quarters and be at your beck and call. Your every wish is our greatest desire to fulfill. When you are ready, the feast will be begin." Dilix sends you on your way with Auroz and Neshari.

You have a pair of spacious joined rooms with baths warmed or cooled to taste by servant elementals. Your two servants stand by to provide whatever is asked of them.

Kzrira still trusts these servants as far as she can toss them, which is not far. Nonetheless, she relaxes, albeit with her bow and quiver within arms reach, in a warm bath.

Varkata says, "Thank you. ", and make ready to bathe, placing her blade next to the tub and checking the clips on her holy symbol before lowering herself into the warm water to wash off the salt.

This place almost seems to be trying too hard to have us lower our guard... I'll speak to the others, but I think we'd best set a watch tonight.. And this would be the time to question the loyalty of Karethas' staff, since it's come home..


Despite paranoid delusions, you are able to bathe peacefully and find fresh clean clothes upon your beds. It has been a long day of horns and hydras and journeys by magical galley, but your stomaches feel that sleep can wait until after the feast.

Karethas emerges from his room with a bright smile. "Retirement suddenly seems very alluring. Amir, when we return to Kelmarne we really need to look into making more investments in the monastery. Bring the level of amenities up. We won't be traveling like this forever, and I believe Nex had the right idea with this retreat. If I continue to focus on my studies, I think with sufficient rewards I will be able bind elementals and such to serve us there."
