Distant Worlds: Azlanti Expedition (Inactive)

Game Master Trailjava

(The Outer Darkness time unknown)
The entity moved in the stillness of the darkness that no one had seen before. As the awareness grew so did the movement of the entity. The long dark eyes opened for the first time in this new age, a long tentacle moved then another, and then another. The being became more aware of the darkness and stillness around it. A single thought started to form.
It is time
(The Solar System)
Across multiple worlds some filled with life, stillness and constructed life the portals opened. Some where buried deep in the bowls of the planet and were long forgotten to the world around them. Some portals opened and prophecy was fulfilled that day as the holy texts had predicted. On some worlds the portals created disasters on the world that wrecked the world. In a distant corner of the solar system a ship comes into view, it is old and moves with a purpose. slowly it starts to slow and the trail of stars behind it begins to stream. Deep in the bowels of the ship, a another awareness awakes. The awareness searches the nearby system for what it expects. Aroden is dead

(The world)
On the world of Golarion a portal was opened briefly and other gates on that world opened as well. In the lab deep below Magnimar a ancient relic flares to life. Its companion also flares to life as well. This relic resides in alchemist shop and this is where our story begins…

PC's tell me how you know each other and what are your goals for life

The Cloaked One is known as the "creepy doomsday guy" and is, himself, curious about the metal man (Amalgus) and the shadowy one (Nycah). He wants to find a way to meet either Groetus or one of the game-playing agents he continuously preaches about. Whether he wishes to assist with the end of the world or attempt to stop it remains to be seen.

Growing up in Nidal, Nycah is one of probably few people that is not exceptionally freaked out by the Creepy Doomsday Guy. At least once that he determined the connection to Groetus, and confimred NO connection to Zon-Kuthon.

Nycah's short term goals are/were to reatin and enjoy his freedom. But his ancestors were diplomats and explorers of the planes and distant worlds. He has been thinking that Magnimar is not all that far from Nidal, and that the cosmos is a big place. Maybe it is time to spread his wings and explore?

Hey guys I am sorry about the OOC stuff that should be in the disscussion side.

In a lab deep under Maginmar a forgotton awarnes awakens because of the Portals. This new awarness knows its self simply as Amalgus. It starts to move around the chamber. Thiw will be our starting point

First one mind sputters to conciseness. Others follow. In the span of an eye blink information passes between them, linking sharing, drawing other into the fold, becoming one. They took inventory of themselves, running diagnostics and powering up systems that had lay dormant for time without measure. They were aware of only each other. Then, they were aware of the darkness around them.

Power levels critically low. Engaging emergency reserves.

A number of small lights pulsed to brightness, the most powerful of which was set in the center of the metallic chassis.

A faint sweeping beam lit out running across every nearby object taking measure of things beyond the ken of mortal eyes.

Casting Light, then Detect Magic and taking a good look around. Amalgus has Low Light vision and Darkvision, so sight shouldn't be an issue.

My servant I have a mission for you..the days are coming when life will end. I want you to travel to the moon in my name. The Cloaked One gets this vision as he sleeps and is given images of the bride with pylons. The ruins of the Rune Lords calls to you.

Sleeping soundly in a "rented"(meaning broken into) room, Ernst of the guard payroll he plans to steal tomorrow, he'll need some more posions though to make sure he gets away clean, a trip to Nycah will be required in the morning.

At the conclusion of the vision, The Cloaked One awakes with a start. "Yes, O Great One, it shall be done." During his morning prayers, he ponders how to accomplish this truly monumental task. Perhaps he can find someone with the knowledge.

In the tiny back living chamber of his tiny shop, Nycah sits up on his bed, back against the rough wooden wall. He lowered the broadsheet he had een reading as he cocked his head, wondering if he had actually heard...something. A thump? Whatever it was, it seemd to be coming from below the old wooden floor...

Moving slowly and quietly, he got to his feet, yellow eyes cast down to the floor, listening intently and laying one hand on his quartstaff, leaned, as always, beside his headboard.

In a flash of light eminating from a unknown source between the artifacts. Several people from Magnimar go missing..

Acrobatics: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (15) - 2 = 13 Stupid armor check penalty. Would have made it otherwise. :-(

The Cloaked One finds himself being teleported and tossed into a dark room. There is a shimmering portal behind you in which you came thru. The room is dark and cold.

"Oh, Dark One, where have you brought me?" Cast light and look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 If necessary

As the light is cast it goes out. And you hear another splish sound, as Nycah comes flying in the room. Nycah make a Arcobatics roll please

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

Nycah find himself flying into a room and lands unhurt. You notice another person in the simply lit room.
The Cloaked One notices another person has entered the room. There is another presence as well. It appears to be a golem like creature. Amalgus detects a surge of power in the next room.

Ernest blinks out of his area and finds himself sailing into the room. please role a Arcobatics check
Sorry for taking so long for getting this going.

The Cloaked One's light reveals a mostly humanoid metallic figure who seems to be made of intricate overlapping plates and cables.

A faint wave of light comes from the metal person and passes over the two cloaked figures. A number of small lights on the metallic humanoid form focus on them like a dozen or more eyes. A faint pulsating whirr could be heard over a nearly inaudible droning hum.

Male. Human. Substandard organic chassis. Tools of primitive metaphysics. Non-combatant.

Male. Extraplanar. Standard organic chassis. Tools of rudimentary arcanism. Non-combatant. Likely able to manipulate volatile energies. Unpredictable without further observation.

No hostile intent detected.

Diplomacy protocols initiated.

"શુભેચ્છા સંદેશ. હું તમને કોઈ નુકસાન માંગો. नमस्कार. मैं आपको कोई नुकसान नहीं चाहते हैं. Agurrak. Nahi dut ez da arriskutsua. வாழ்த்துக்கள். நான் உனக்கு எந்த தீங்கும் விரும்புகிறேன். Salam. Saya berharap Anda tidak membahayakan. Поздрав. Желим ти ништа лоше. Salutem. Volo te non nocuerunt. גרעעטינגס. איך ווינטשן איר ניט שאַטן. Greetings. I mean you no harm. 挨拶。私はあなたに害を願いません。Beannachtaí. Ba mhaith liom tú aon dochar. مبارک ہو. میں آپ کو کوئی نقصان نہیں چاہتے ہیں."

What languages were all of those, Amalgus?

"Greetings. I mean no harm as well. I am called Nycah." He paused and regarded the Cloaked One for a moment. "We have met, have we not? Do you know how we came to be here?"

Just a sample-platter from google translate

The portal in the ripples and there is a swoosh. Another being is ejected from the mouth of the orifice.

A tall catfolk is flung into the room and lands semi gracefully. As he trys to stand he falls to knees and says Well now I am not as hardy as I thought was. Well it seems I am not alone here. Hello all my name is Silverpaw and its my destiney to save the world. I hope you guys are able to do that..

The catfolk then passes out.

The metallic person simply watches.

Nycah's gently glowing yellow eyes blink a couple of times.

" This ceraitnly seems to be turning out to be an interesting day..."

a golem? what's it doing here? it says it means no harm; could it have been sent here to aid me?

@Amalgus: "Greetings metal man. Who made you? What is your mission?"

@Nycah: "Yes, shadowy one, I've seen you before. I am..." He thinks for a moment. "My name is..." Another pause - as if he's searching his memory for something long forgotten. "People call me Cloaked One. I was brought here by Groetus. How, I don't know. Were you sent to help with my mission?"

The Cloaked One jumps in surprise as a catfolk appears beside him, mumbles something about saving the world, and passes out. what's wrong with him? i should try to help.

Heal check: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Acrobatics Roll 13 + 7 = 20

No matter that outcome "Wow, what was that?" and a perception Roll 4 + 7 =11

The silver glow from puddle ring starts to shimmer then cuts out. The room is dark for small second then some dim lights come on. The room the group is in has 3 different door ways. There are two on each side of the portal and there one in the south wall. The heal check reveal the Catfolk is simply unconsious at the moment. The room smells musty and old as if no one had been here for thousands of years. Amalgus starts to get a sense of belonging here. There is air blowing from a vent on the right hand side. Also each you only have what you wearing for supplies and weapons.
Contact Established A female voice speaks..as strange sensation hits all of you. Everyone make saving throw for Will

Will save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

The Cloaked One can understand everyone despite their lanuage
The Cloaked One has slight dizzy feel but that is it.

Will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

"We are Amalgus. Designate model Lyricist Multi-platform prototype 1.03. We seek the perfect form."

Silverpaw awakes with a person over him. Excuse me who are you? He says to the person who is checking on him. Wow It actually came for me he says out loud.

Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

will: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (14) + 0 = 14

Mark Twain007 is me, sorry, switched out of the Alias

Nycah and Ernest feel a slight buzz in there heads. Afterwards you both realize you can understand the metal man. Silverpaw also understands the metal man as well.
You now the options of exploring the enviroment and talking with Silverpaw

@Silverpaw: "People call me Cloaked One. I mean you no harm. Are you all right? Where do you come from? I don't think I've seen you before."

" 'It actually came' for you? You were expecting something like this?" Nycah asks Silverpaw, crouching beside him. He glances around the room at the others, nodding to his former customer Ernst in passing.

"Does anyone know where we actually are?"

Cue karate sounds and pose Who wants some...wow he's a big one!!
Right so a big metal man, a creepy dude in a cloak, a cat, and the dude I buy poisons from. This is going to be an off day.

Directed toward Nycah No, I was having a merry morning stroll when I just kind of appeared here. Wispers to Nycah Who's our big friend?

"He...or they, maybe...are Amalgus. Amalgus, Cloaked one, let me introduce Ernst."

Hello with a slow wave, looking Nervously at the Catfolk. This might suck, cats really don't like me.

"Hello, Ernst." The Cloaked One smiles, "May Groetus' light shine on you." He turns back to Amalgus. "Metal Man, where are we? Tell us about this place."

Male. Feline humanoid. Organic chassis slightly above average. Primitive projectile weapon. Bladed farming implement. Possible combatant. Threat level- low

Male. Rodent humanoid. Above average organic chassis. High physical speed and coordination. Claws. Postures defensively but possesses little formal combat training. Likely combatant. Threat level- low. Addendum- at current energy levels, threat level is adjusted to moderate. Observe carefully.

Note- Felinoids and Rodents are natural enemies. Tension levels likely to be high. Probability of violence increased by 12.8 percent.

The metal person watched the byplay between the others in the room with great interest, answering when addressed.

"Cloaked One, we are currently below ground on planet designate PMD-7648. Atmosphere and gravity supportive of most standard organic life. Orbit is currently 107,685 standard spacial units from system center. Rotation is currently 878 personal scale distance units at an axis of 2.9 degrees. Temperature is 19.2 standard temperature degrees."

Silverpaw gets up and sees Ernest. Don't worry Rat I will not you.I am here because of this Ship that sails through the dark space. I cannot believe the Thassolioans never contacted it. Can you believe it! Silverpaw says with enthusiasm.
I believe this ship predates the Thassolioans empire. It maybe Azanti. Has anyone seen a crew or anything else?
Silverpaw asks as looks around.

"Investigation of this location is required."

The metal man's servos whine as they surge into motion for the first time in countless years. Flakes of dust so thick as to nearly be sandstone fleck off and rain down as it begins to move.

With surprisingly fluid grace, the sleek automaton makes it's way to the chamber's entrance and steps out of the room.

"We should follow the golem. It seems to know what's going on." With that, The Cloaked One follows Amalgus out of the chamber.

With a bemused expression on his face, Nycah follows.

looking back and forth between silverpaw and The Cloaked One. Not sure I want to be alone with either of them I think we should follow our new metal friend, I don't think we want to lose him I a fix my tailblade to my tail, and follow Amalgus and The cloaked One.

What did he mean by Planet PD 78 whatever? What do you mean by ship, and Azanti?

I will also perception and knowledge engineering for the cave or underground tunnel we seem to be in.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 With Darkvision
Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
