I'm not sure if Robin will be checking in or not. Kobald, I'm fine if you want to start the next session with all those players on the waiting list. I've had my turn and I very much appreciate learning this game from you, you did a fine job, Thank you. Hopefully we can meet up in another PBP game soon!?
oooo, added to my growing list of "what can I do on my turn" thingys:) 1. Roll a skill
Oh my gosh I would PAY to try Mouse Guard! I've had the book for years but never the opportunity to play. One poopy thing: I've never seen a "mouse" icon for characters. Lots of cats. lots of owls. no mice:( And you'll have to figure out how the "show what you wrote down at the same time" during combat thing will go in Play-by-post...
Yes, sorry folks. I have no stamina to GM high level right meow. I will close out campaign tomorrow so it doesn't clutter your screens. I had fun with this one though. Thank you all for rolling up. I know it takes a lot of work to put these kinds of characters together. Hopefully that process itself was fun and makes up for my bowing out. You almost made it, by the way. but alas, Izmiara the evil one still reigns on the moon. Other adventurers will have to complete the task one day. Oh well...
The cat is careful not to return eye contact. She knows provoking elfish princes is unwise, and she is a wise kitty. The creature in the clouds is nearly overhead now. It descends, the beating of it's wings causing cloud-vapor to curl about them. Then you see it... This winged fiend's horned head and fanged visage present the perfection of the demonic form, fire spurting from its flesh. MAP UPDATED The demon cracks it's firely whip. Welcome to the underworld, mortal flesh.[.b] He sniffs the air. [b]ahhh, you have been in that stinking demon queen's succubus lair. You reek. Filthy!
Gargamel smiles at your attempts to solve the riddle. He is about to expound when there is a thunderous clap and a rumble about a mile away in the scorched clouds to the west. Peering into the clouds on the horizon you see a shape forming within them, glowing with the heat of hellfire. It moves toward you, clouds swirling around it. Gargamel blanches. It comes! he says. lord Miglaru's gatekeeper! Your transport across the planes must have alerted it! Careless fools! Gargamel waves his hands over his body and dissapears. Sandin recognizes this as a mighty invisibilty spell. Gargamels cat looks around confused for a moment. Then trots over to Gabi and rubs up betwixt her ankles. touch cat: The cat is soft.
...they appear to be instructions of some type.
Gabi's translates:
To open the doors and escape this hell, follow my command. Lift a palm full of jewels upon which you stand, let them fall through your fingers as if they be sand... And the doors will open as best they can! Gargamel smiles as he perceives that Gabi might be able to read the monolith.
Gargamel says: You there, Wizard. Have you any clue what these symboles here on the monolith mean? he points them out. There is a loud roaring sound far above and to the "east". Some terrible beast flying among the hellish clouds.
Gargamel, still studying the monolith: I've been asking that very same question for about 20 years now. I believe the answer must be somewhere on this monolith. See, you can travel anywhere within the seventh circle: visit the Pit of Unending Woe, read text from the First Cosmos in the Library of The Seventh Circle, even visit lord Miglaru's Palace and the dungeon where he keeps captives the mother of all Succubi...but you can't leave. Only way out, according to these inscriptions, is through the double doors yonder... He nods toward the doors set into the cliffs to the east. Giant stone doors. Big key hole. Flanked by stone reliefs of two angelic beings with massive wings, dark helmets, and blazing bright rune-swords.
the man slowly turns to face you. He is very old and speaks with a tired voice. Ah, travelers he sniffs toward you, from the Material Plane, just like me! How unfortunate for you that you should Plane-Shift here to the Beach of Captive Souls. He turns back, and continues to read the stone monolith. You notice a small black cat purring and brushing itself upon the man's legs. The cat watches you with shining eyes.
Elros detects the man as Lawful Evil. But it's also ovbious he is not a demon or anything sinister. Just a human being. Sandin detects all kinds of magic all over this guy...potions and items and amulets of great power... Seeing the little comets of light encircling the man's head, Knute remembers a story about a Wizard named Gargamel. The story goes: that this wizard had found a way to sap the magical energy from a small race of mysterious fairy creatures which he discovered living in an enchanted forest. But before he was successful in taking their magic directly from their little bodies, the fairy creatures tricked him, and cast a spell upon him, sending him to another plane. Could this be the same Wizard?
Your souls feel as though they are being ripped from your body, stretched out across space and time. Then suddenly your physical bodies snap back into place. There is a thunderous crack in your ears and you appear on the Plane of Hell. Your cloths and armor smoke with fire and magic. You breath in the sulfurous air. You are standing on a small rocky beach of what appears to be a lake, or perhapse an ocean of molten rock. The ground beneath your feet appears to be made up of pebbly glasslike rocks of all colors (DC45 knowledge) Perhapse precious gems? There are cliffs on 3 sides, but a stone door is set into the rock to the east. Yet, to the west, a causeway leads to a massive stone monolinth on a tiny island over the lava. There is scrawling ancient glyphs and writing carved upon the stone, which stands some 15 feet high. A man is standing before the stone, studying it's glyphs. Small halos of neon lights circle around his head. He must know you have arrived. But he ignores you. MAP UPDATED. The sky above you is made of ominous black clouds and fire swirls within them, like the clouds of Liavara (Jupiter). Welcome to Hell.
