What's the magic word?

Game Master Stetrix

The summons from Sheila Heidmarch arrives two hours before dawn, and the venture-captain demonstrates a scarcely contained mix of excitement and anxiety as she motions for everyone to take a seat. "You succeeded in the recovery of the refuge tokens that might grant us access to the Runelord Krune's lair. While you succeeded in recovering the tokens, we still lack the proper command words to activate them, and no amount of divination seems able to provide them.

"While we don't know the command words themselves, we do know that the words are etched into a set of rune plates-durable, well-crafted, and roughly parchment-sized tablets bearing ritual instructions that are held in the Thousandth Spire, one of the many towers at the Thassilonian ruins known as Desgard's Thousand Columns in what was once Haruka. You won't have time to formally chronicle the site today, as you will not be alone. Our divinations also sensed multiple cells of Lissalans converging on the site, and it appears they have a lead. As a result, I have called in a favor from a Lissalan cultist we captured some months ago to have you teleported directly to the site.

"Krune and his predecessors appear to have protected their towers against most forms of divination. As a result, there is little more that I can tell you on short notice. The Thousandth Spire stands near the western end of the site, and its entryway will be marked by these runes," she states, placing a slip of paper on the table. "Don't tamper with any of the other towers unless you know what you are doing; you will be travelling to an eminent site of sloth magic, and there's little telling what products of conjuration magic lie hidden within."

With that, Sheila plants her feet and curtly nods to signal the close of the meeting. "You have your orders: retrieve the rune-plates, exercise discretion, and show initiative. You're among my top agents, and I trust you to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Questions?"

Whatever it takes, huh? Do we have time to finish breakfast?

Let's go!

Wheres the map?

Grab what you want from the fruit baskets and pastries. Coffee or tea available. Questions????

Are you sending anyone with us? Like Shalelu?

Kyra will accompany you.

Refresh, post, delete!

How tall are these towers? And when you say sloth magic, do you mean more conjuring and summoning? We'd best take lots of protection spells.

KN Arcana and history checks please.

In addition to Kyra you will also travel with another woman.

"Her name is Karethia, and she's one of those who so rudely interrupted a particular auction earlier this year. After we captured her, she willingly accepted Pathfinder oversight and now provides us with magical aid so long as we do not violate her existing oaths. Make certain that you do not let her know about your true mission, lest she feel compelled to interfere. She is indispensable, so do not antagonize her."

Can you tell us more about Karethia? Like, why is she willing to help us? What oath has she pledged?

[ooc]Can you add links to character sheets, treasure etc. please?[ooc]

They are under the campaign info tab.

Both Character Sheets and Treasure links go to Treasure.

Uh, do any of you perhaps know anything about the history of this place?

Might have to add a rank in Kn History and Kn Geography eventually if we keep this up.

Knowledge (arcana)
15+ Sin magic evolved-or more speci fically devolved from the rune magic of Xin , first emperor of Thassilon. Its use virtually died out with the fall of Thassilon.
20+ The magic of sloth emphasized the calling of servants, and elements of its secrets survive in modern conjuration magic. Its practitioners abstained from using evocation and illusion magic.
25+ Traveling scholars who have examined Desgard's Thousand Columns have noted that the towers seem to thrum with stored conjuration magic. A few sages speculate that the site mi ght serve as a storage facility of untapped arcane power for those so bold as to call upon it.
30+ A traveling coajurer noted that her teleportation and summoning spells behaved unpredictably yet became more powerful when near the ruins-when she managed to control the effect.
35+ In fact , experiments demonstrate that the energies are not uniform but appear to be legions of individual conjuration effects held in stasis.

Does Kyra have Kn History?

Kyra KN History : 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

You get no further info...

Well, that's good enough for me! Let's go do something heroic!

Still want to figure out what can be done before we leave. I know Sekkim was going to boost his headband and was wondering if there might be time for other things. I also need to know which item from the booty he wants. Might even craft another wand.

I asked Brian about playing and told him I would not be bugging him if he wants to continue. He has no access to internet at his new job so it would be when he can manage to get online outside of work. I hope he decides to continue with us.

I do 90% of this with my phone...and I have an old crappy phone. We need our master wizard, though!

Uh, since we're waiting I think I'll have another bowl of oatmeal and another ham, egg and cheese bagel.

Right, pass the bagels. Anyone seen Sekkim?

Hmm. Looks like we're staying for lunch, too.

I'll have the mutton on rye, where the mutton is sliced really thin....

Rye, huh? Make mine Ruben!

OK! I've decided. I'll have the mutton chop sandwich w/pickled cabbage, Ruben!

Wow, did we take a siesta after lunch or what?

Huh? I guess it's time to order dinner then! We're going to put on weight at this pace!

And then there were three!
