I came when they first came to this world. I have not left it. I have yet to see one flying creature.
This is literally all that is known of this world.
I hold the equilivant to two Grand Mastery doctorates in Knowledge History, in my centuries here I have yet to discover anything about this world that is relevant that you do not yet know.
Samanthia Week 1:
Upkeep Phase
Activity Phase
Income Phase
Samanthia spends roughly 8 hours a day in the Librarium studying the books upon the Planes that Klokk brought with him here. When shes not in the Librarium she is out talking with the newcomers and getting a feel for them. If asked she only replies "Im searching something for Klokk while hes busy this week."
Samanthia looks up at the mention of birds as messengers. "I do not think that will be an option, In my years here I have yet to see one flying creature larger then the fireflies beside the form of Hawk that either of us druids can assume, or klokk's little friend. So unless one of you happens to have some eggs or a mating pair, that will be vary unlikely." "Also, I know Klokk said that the barracks had stables for 400 heavy calvary, along with their spares. What he neglected to tell you is that in all of Haven there is but one Equus, one horse of any kind and that is our diplomats mule, which even if we had a million of them would never be able to breed. It seems our glorious leader forgot to pick up the horses from the markets on the way here with you all." Klokk has the decency to blush as hes drinking his ale.
I have encountered no living creatures of above animal intelligence on this world that have not either come through the Door with me or been given the key. Nor any ruins. I wish I could be of help. Even Resnit, who has explored 5 squares around Haven in all land directions he was given the boat after he got back has encountered not even the tracks of anything worth mentioning. The Animal and Fish and I assume birds as well though ive never seen any, are all a size larger then one would expect if they are encountered elsewhere.
On the island
Wolvyn approaches the scrying pool and sets about pouring in various vials and flasks of liquids to ready it for his Druid. Samanthia"I know its a tough burden to hear the voices all the time. I am glad that you were the one that volunteered to bear that burden. We will not let the darkness swallow the light when you are away." Seeing that Wolvyn has finished prepairing the pool they approach. She speaks her prayers softly under her breath and in the pool an image begins to form. The three of them look into the pool and see what is going on in Haven in Klokk's "unplanned absence". Samanthia"So which one is that Ssisal? Klokk points with the screwdriver he is still holding. "That one there. The one that the Warden and Marshal are both thinking of chewing out for opening the Door." Samanthia"Do you want me to bring him here on the marrow?" Wolvyn shakes his head
Klokk thinks for a moment."That is a better idea then either of are. I wondered why one such as you was assigned here. How long are you going to wait to show them? You are small enough that the Enemies will not be able to notice you, as they would me or any the others of the full wings. It matters not. Wolvyn:"Depends on if they notice or there is a need. This form is useful but the I miss my wings. The Stonescales have been through enough shocks today, ill let them assume this is my true form for now, but they are the most able to handle our forms then the forged ones." Samanthia: "If you boys are done. Klokk show me the Door that he opened. Chiree jumps up to his shoulder, rubbing her head against the Fire portal as cat would a tree. Klokk points with the screwdriver at the pool as pulls out one of those remembrance orbs and holds it in his other hands.
The image in the pool changes to that of the Hallway of doors and ssisal walking in the rear of the party, tilting his head he stops for a moment. <(I don't think anyone that was in the hallway at the time can precive telepathy. PM me if not the case, for you would hear this too.> He nods and opens the door and steps within. There is a Sound when any doorway is opened nearby, inaudible to most. but the three of them all nod as they hear it. Klokk sighs and touches one of the coins on his armor, activating the blink that he had infused into it earlier he appears at the now open doorway. Klokk touches his armor again and all the copper coins fade away, as they have been Fabricated copper-wire rope from armor he was wearing. Klokk tosses one end of it at the next two Stonescales in line as he dives into the open door with the other end in his hand. There is no natural light on the other side of this Doorway. There is no air to breath either, so his first reaction is to assume his draconic form where has no need to do so. As he does <Dawn Greets you All< And his scales shine forth with the brightness of Daylight. At the edge of the Daylight Ssisal is seen grasping his neck trying to draw air into his lungs but finding none to do so with. Klokk has blinked again to where Ssisal is. He speaks the words of little known arcane spell he picked up while on an elven spelljammer that allows one to create air as a priest can create water. A bubble of air appears around Ssisal's head and he stops choking. Klokk reaches out the a claw grabing ssisal they blink back to the rope. Klokk:Draconic "Fear not Stonescale. Give this scale to the Warden Usul when you are alone and he begains to dress you down for disobeying. Tell him it is mine." Klokk reaches out with his free talon and grabs the rope, pulling it taught. Putting Ssisal on the robe Klokk reaches a talon and tears a small scale off one of his legs. and hands it to Ssisal, who wide-eyed, tucks it under the crude slave robes he is still wearing. Inside of the Hallway the Stonescales that were given the rope have a clear view of Klokk doing this as he is only about 10' away from the doorway. No words come through the doorway. The vision in Samanthia's Scrying Pool returns to that of what is going on in Haven. In Haven
Meanwhile on the island north of haven.
In a mix of the four primary elemental tongues they speak.
Klokk "well sisterofthesunthatnurishesgrowthinsummer amoungst all of them from both worlds, only one had the willpower to override my request to not open the doors." Wolvyn"Which one was it? Magister, Diplomat, Explorer, Heir?" Klokk "It was actually one of the Stonescales, a Ssisal of no previous remarkable skills behind aiding others. Saminthia "Do you think hes the one?" Klokk "Its still clouded, I cant see. Lets see what your pool shows you. The three of them turn and walk towards one of the caves in the mountain. As they do so Klokk pulls out a screwdriver from one his pouches touches it to chiree and says " Xurwk Tiamo ". Chiree hoots twice because she enjoys the feeling of being Made Whole. |
