Thank you! That means a lot!
Rollo wonders if Lady Lyra received his missive. The Sage hopes she doesn't think it is code.
My sincere apologies for my posting rate and lack of participation. I will be stepping away from this game as a Player for a bit. I will still be reading along though. I want to thank everyone for these past years of this game (and others). I shall still be active on the boards too. I just don't want to hold you up while I stall, stagger and spoil the flow. Rollo will need to stay in Sigil for this mission.
Rollo arrives as he intents and at the moment of his intentions made clear. The Arcanist is seen wearing a prospectors outfit complete with hard hat, various spelunking tools and even a light. He waves at everyone departing.
The dhampir adjusts a shovel. Once the group arrives, the obvious prospector greets, shakes hands and inquires about possible savage rights, equipment transportation availability and where to hire possible laborers. Well met! Sir Duncan Devros Douglas Davidson, prospectors extreme, atyour service!
Mission Briefing:
"This is the realm of Gofthonan. So far as we know it's a planet, not a plane. However, it has both strong technological and magical aspects. It's not hard to reach at all in - but in the sense that each 'jump' costs the equivalent of 5,000 universal gold in diamond dust. As you can see, 3/4 of the land area polluted, rendered uninhabitable, some 200 years ago. This involved the unwisdom of a previous empires. Since that time, a variety of kingdoms, republics and empires have risen in the remaining land and produce a variety of interesting things. And since the plane can be relatively easily reached, a variety of interplanar embassies exist to buy these things. A common situation. Ari pauses, steps back. "The original disaster was terrible. Once there were elves on this world ... but no matter" Stops and looks at the map. "What does matter is that within the decimated area, our sensors picked up a planar quake, a vibration indicating there is something capable of extending Gofthonan's disaster to the local multiverse... something we wish to stop and which we believe the Dark Traders are attempting to accelerate... We are sending your group to investigate, after suitable research... Rollo seems to have disappeared concurrently with the ending of the initial mission briefing.... The Sage then reappears directly after the mission briefing ends. Smiling at those in attendance, the Arcanist reaches for a glass of brandy.
Rollo is down with those crazy clowns...
I will endeavor to catch up tonight prior to my SoT game.
Rollo returns the planar materials all back to the Guardian. The Sage even stays to reinforce any soft spots still present. He also attempts to locate the most used entrance by the Dark Traders for future reference.
Back at base, the dhampir gives his report, retires for the evening and eventually meets up at the Brighthammers for the party!
Rollo places a hand on Arlo's shoulder.
Rollo takes the offered goods, storing them inside his haversack. The dhampir then tips his cap, walks to the entrance and smiles.
Heightened Chain Lightning Ref DC 28/26
I think so? Rollo pins the lizard.
He looks around.
Rollo Rollo The Arcanist attempts to Grapple it to halt its progress.
Rollo looks up at the tall, beefy, blue and brown lizardman in a finely cut tuxedo approaching his casually seated position.
The dhampir winks.
Rollo winks at his mentor.
The Sage then peers about the gambling hall, sees that his spell has taken hold and glances over at Azim.
The Arcanist murmurs a spell.
Surrounding the smiling dhampir are a plethora of exact Images of the Sage!
Rollo decides to Slow things down a bit.
Rollo conveys the deal from Loges to the group. He approves....
Rollo just winks at his mentor.
The Arcanist then sighs.
Rollo glances at the Nobles of Terex.
Rollo mentally shrugs at Terex.
Loges then smiles weakly at Loges.
Rollo winks at Loges. The Arcanist then begins to gather arcane energy to create a stabilization field around the Gambling hall.
Rollo reaches out and the Sage taps into a Soul Shield!
Soul Shield:
Gives 18/10 points of power that can be used for either adding to will-saves (after-the-fact) or adding to spellcraft rolls (beforehand).
Rollo grins.
The Arcanist then considers something.
National Treasure style then. Nice. The entire stash? Gonna need a bigger boat. Rollo telepathically informs the group.
Ignoring the sudden influx of luck for a moment, Rollo locks eyes with Loges.
Entering the Gambling Hall (this time as himself), the dhampir takes in the strangeness off ot all, as if he were in a stupor. Gliding an inch above the flooring, the Arcanist makes his way to the bar. Viewing the many imbibed present, Rollo notices a student at University that the Sage attended over a century ago.
Loges (looking like Gandalf with the Arcane ability) smiles at seeing the dhampir.
And, he does.....
Rollo thinks a moment.
Rollo is seen dressed like Elton John.
Rollo winks at Gift.
Only Time would Tell....
Rollo just smiles.
Ritual:
You can choose a totem and hazard a ritual (choosing "propagate" or not) or strengthen the bottom pole, which you know how to do or something else. Strengthening the matrix might prevent further time shenanigans though you're think the demon is away for a bit. Doing the ritual requires a knowledge arcana, knowledge planes and spellcraft roll Jocinth can assist with Bardic inspiration type magic also.
Rollo smiles at the Time demon.
The Arcanist then does some magic!
Rollo smiles as they have gotten close enough together to zap them all!
Come together. Right now. Over me.
Rollo zaps the closest one.
Rollo casts Haste. He also gives a thumbs up to Terex.
Rollo proceeds to dig through his handy haversack for his spellbook. He begins leafing through it.
The Arcanist speaks a few phrases and poof! A garden of poisonous (but colorful) mushrooms spring up from the ground. Roll them begins pruning and edging to create his arcane runes.
Hiking up his robes, the dhampir proceeds to play kick the can with the totem!
Rollo steps. Rollo steps. Rollo steps. Rollo kicks the totem and the Arcanist utters arcane phrases while pointing his finger at the flying can...err...totem!
He smiles.
Rollo smiles at the logic of Terex' thinking.
Thoughts. I see what you did there.
Rollo muses.
The dhampir glances about absently.
Rollo tries very hard not to smile at the others.
The Arcanist grins.
Rollo cast Haste to better see that sword at work!
Rollo grins.
Rollo cast Heroism on the dwarf.
We should probably take care of that Time demon, before our work is undone. The dhampir frowns.
Rollo shrugs.
He is a celestial. Most likely the Guardian. He seems to be suffering from an enchantment of some kind. I plan to break it.
The Sage ponders.... ....the Arcanists takes out his spellbook, flipping through pages.
The Sage relates to Terex.
EDIT!
Rollo nudges the dwarf.
Rollo indeed shares the information with the group. He turns to the criminal.
Rollo reaches for the Arcane energy supporting this plane.
The Sage then considers the appearance of the dino.
Rollo seem disappointed that the cold-hating snakes slithered away. Sighing, the dhampir continues along, occasionally kicking dirt. At the Garden, he muses with Azzim.
Rollo takes out his spellbook for a Quick Study.
Rollo just grins. The Arcanist then places a hand of Arlo's shoulder.
