This was a fun game, all that time travel stuff got a bit confusing though ...
Oooh! I'm naked!

"Uh ... Sari, a moment?" Valessa grabs Sari's arm. "We need to visit the powder room," she says over her shoulder to the men. "Sari, what are you doing?" she asks the other woman when they have some privacy. "He can be a real sleaze you know. He hit on me before you know?"
“Alright, so are we going after this Malenti? If so, we need to find out where to find it, find a way to get there, and purchase any survival equipment we might need.” Valessa starts searching her knowledge of where the Sahuagin who raided the town (the pleasure boat) the other week, and any known Malenti in the area, might have hailed from.
"Well, let's divide this gold up with an extra share ... if one of the others come back, they can have what's left of that share. Otherwise, we can use it as a fund for turning swords into people and such."
"Wow ... I think I got a good deal," says Valessa on her return, hauling a sack of coins, small gems and trade bars. "At least I hope I got a good deal ... a lot of money anyway. Now ... I guess we don't need to keep a share for Rokko now that he's with Ghorkin ... and Beren's gone ... hey, where's Merrek this morning? Did he leave with Beren too?"
“I don’t know what Beren thinks he’s doing,” mutters Valessa, “but if he doesn’t want our help, fine!” She seems upset. But calms down a bit after breakfast. “Well, someone help me find a buyer for these giant coins – with some money behind us we have more options…” Valessa thinks about somewhere in town to sell the coins …
“And what of the sword? It somehow seems like a person that was changed into a sword … do you think there’s any way we could get it changed back. That … is not a nice thing."You're right. It's not a nice thing at all." "Ruuz, do you think a wizard could change it back?"
So...Like I said in discussion, Gustav wiped out my home internet for seems like ever, I will hopefully have the recap for monday.
“Hah! Well that wasn’t a complete loss then,” says Valessa, peering into the chest. “Aeren, Aeren … I feel like I should know that name… well, whoever he is, I wouldn’t have thought he’d still be ali- oh … Undying, yeah, that’s right …” If the soldier sticks around, Valessa will ask him (it?) to relay her thanks to this Aeren, or his ancestor, or whoever sent the coins. “I’d return his targeting disc, but it seems to have gotten lost in time …” she says. “Alright, let’s go and see if we can find a buyer for these coins, we’ll split the proceeds. The spear … seems pretty dangerous. Much as it pains me to give any benefit to Ghorkin or Rokko, I wonder if we should intrust it to the pair of them, to return to the University museum – with all of us credited as discoverers of course! Unless someone really wants to try to hang onto it .. I suppose one could wear heavy gloves, or perhaps Brick could safely use it … But I just have this worrying feeling that the … Daelkyr are going to want it back… “And what of the sword? It somehow seems like a person that was changed into a sword … do you think there’s any way we could get it changed back. That … is not a nice thing. “Alright, last pieces of business; who wants to go on and see about this Sahuagin business?”
“So, that was a bit of a bust,” comments Valessa to her strangely quiet companions once they return to Stormreach. “Did anyone manage to pick up any treasure or artefacts? What are everyone’s plans now?”
Dragonmann: Spoiler: My Eberron lore is not great. Aeren … doesn’t ring any bells. Although its just occurred to me that the elven continent is called Aerenal, so I’m going to guess he’s pretty important… Would Valessa know?
Valessa is in something of a daze on the way back through the jungle to Stormreach. What really happened back there? Did she really spend several days thousands of years in the past, in the Age of Giants? Did an entire ruin just … vanish in time? And what do they have to show for it all? A mithral disk, a strange, screaming sword, that weird spear …
i didn't have a running tally of xp, but if 5k is enough to level twice (meaning you were within 1k of level 4) then you are level 5Should deffinetly level up, depending on where you were sitting may even be twice...
she will give the targetting disc to whoever is staying behind in this chamber, saying "If everything starts going to s*!*, and I'm not back yet, make sure you're up on this platform and put the disc inside that vortex there," pointing to the swirling vortex above their heads. "That should get you to safety. But wait until the last possible moment alright? I want to get out of here alive!" She will then make her way down to the floor of this chamber via the quickest possible method (short of jumping); be that by climbing down the pillar on a rope or running down through the amphitheatre. While Ruuz is trying to repair Brick and the others are getting him back onto the platform, she will run back through the corridors with all haste to the chamber they left the professor and Mishelle. She will call out the giantish phrase to open the door when she gets there and urge them to come WITH ALL HASTE back with her if they want to live. If Beren or someone wants to come with her, she'll welcome the help - but no one slow (heavy armour wearers or short legs). If they argue or delay, she'll leave them; either way, racing back to this chamber and trying to get back onto the pillar before the others put the targetting disc into the vortex. If the place starts falling apart or something to the degree that she doesn't think she can get back, she will take her chances with heading to the central chamber and trying to climb back up the rope to the jungle surface instead.
“We can’t leave Dorkin and Mishelle here either,” says Valessa, suddenly remembering.
you watched the old elf put a similar sik in the hole in reality before you were sent back here.
Valessa races back on to the top of the platform, already pulling the fifty foot length of silk rope from her pack. “Alright, this is how we need to do this,” she says, uncharacteristically confident and in charge (rather than just her normal brashness). “Someone strong needs to stay up here and hold the rope. Sari, Beren, you two are probably the strongest, it needs to be one of you. The rope is only fifty feet, and I’m going to need a bit to tie Brick on, so you’ll need to lie down on here, lean over the edge, the grip that roof as if my life depended on it –which it will. “Someone else who can climb needs to come down the rope with me and help lift Brick a bit so I can tie him onto the rope. Everyone else needs to help Sari or whoever, make sure she doesn’t get pulled over while we’re going up and down the rope. “One Brick’s tied on, we climb back up, and then we all pull Brick up. Sound good?” She hands the rope over to Sari or Beren and prepares to climb. “Unless someone has a better suggestion?”
"Ive got rope!" yells Valessa, hurrying forward
“Frak … he’s smashed up pretty badly…” Valessa glances down at the broken warforged lying atop the remains of the dragon down below, then up at the swirling vortex above the pillar and back down at the platinum disk in her hand.
“We have to kill the – oh!” Valessa starts to yell back at Beren, then stops when Brick abruptly jumps off the pillar onto the dragon. “Khyber!” she swears, starting to run back towards the centre of the pillar (on her turn – she’s currently out a little way on the bridge). “We have to get it – him! – Brick! – back up here! We all need to be on top of the pillar … I … I think…” Her companions may notice that Valessa has the platinum disk that the group found in the circular chamber right at the beginning of this delve in her hand.
“Time portal!” Valessa yells over to answer Ruuz’ question, pointing up at the glowing disk. “Apart from that I don’t know – a way out of here maybe, or a way for something to come through.” She shoulders her bow, then digs around in her pack, retrieving the targeting disk.
Rokko once again raises his crossbow to fire at the dragon. “This is getting old,” he mutters as the bolt bounces off its scales. Valessa raises her newly re-acquired bow and also fires at the dragon – but her attention is distracted by the glowing hole in the air, and the arrow flies wide. [/ooc]Attack: 5, miss[/ooc]
Dragonmann: Spoiler:
How high up is the light? Valessa will take out the mithral disk from the central chamber, and have it to hand – but she assumes she should not place it on the alter until the “key” is destroyed. A look of recognition dawns in Valessa’s eyes, and she suddenly begins rummaging in her pack for something. “Our way out, or something else coming through?” she mumbles, mostly to herself.
Ooohhhh...... oops.
“What’s that?!” exclaims Valessa, pointing upward. “Some sort of … vortex?”
Looks like Merreck, then Ruuz. EDIT: beaten by 33 seconds!
“Whoever thought slaying a dragon would be so hard,” growls Valessa, running back a few paces to her dropped bow and picking it up, letting her rapier fall to the ground.
Valessa begins to cough uncontrollably as the dust envelopes her and wracking pains course through her chest and limbs.
As the dragon begins to flap away, Valessa takes a last desperate stab at it.
“I don’t know!” Valessa yells back. “I don’t think so!” She stabs again, still flanking the creature with Beren.
Once again taking advantage of her flanking position with Beren, Valessa stabs desperately at the dragon.
Seeing Beren close in on the beast, and Sari fall to it, Valessa charges the rest of the way along the walkway to the dragon’s back, drawing her rapier as she goes.
Valessa gains the walkway leading to the pillar, and jogs partway along it towards the dragon, firing her bow again as she goes, but her arrow clangs harmlessly off the beast’s armoured hide.
Valessa nocks her bow as she runs, taking a running shot at the dragon as she makes for the top of the pillar.
EDIT: Beaten to the punch - by Brick!
