Looking at the device, you realize this is an Amaznenium, a special type of magical dynamo that was used to power a variety of magical tools and
You can also tell it currently as only a single function: the production of simple aeon stones. By feeding the engine magical reagents
Inizkar rushes out to you, and looks up at the overcast sky, this is horrible! My experiments are ruined! What is happening?
Off to the thrum! When you investigate the thrum, they find a strange device has seemingly unearthed itself a couple dozen feet behind the observatory. The device shakes and rattles as if it’s currently activated. This device is composed mostly of metal parts along with smaller slabs of glass and crystal interspersed throughout. The device features a hollow central base as tall as a lectern and about as wide as a treasure chest, all of which is standing on a stone platform. Various metal clockworks, cylinders, cogs, springs, and gears are interspersed throughout the device, some interlocked in obvious fashions and others completely isolated and unconnected to anything else. A variety of indentations, slits, channels, and other openings throughout the device suggest that pieces are missing or could be added.
What do you do?
round 1, fight!
The bats surge toward the group! You also realize these are creature of the shadow plane. You know you have the following action
[ooc]Post when you can!
After your day off, Inizkar presents you with a home cooked meal: grilled fish rubbed with spices and topped with a spicy fruit relish, a vegetable salad made with a savory purple urchin ink dressing, a refreshing citrus drink mixed with edible flower petals, and a local treat made of layered fruit slices bound together with a mildly bitter paste made from local plant roots.
The next morning, Inizkar asks the PCs to help with the final bit of loading and preparations, then notes she’s heading off to the chapel. She plans to pray to Gozreh for favorable weather on the expedition and
Once the time comes to set off, Inizkar and the PCs should all gather outside of the chapel.
And with this, people begin to PANIC! It is chaos, how do you want to keep the town from tearing itself apart? You've been in worse, what steps do you want to do? You can choose any skill you feel is appropriate for the situation. Post when you can!
and we're off.... to get the last of the supplies... hurray... You head to the last part of the list.. Its a boring old shed. You all move up to the door to begin to pull sacks out to load up the wagons and...
A giant centipede moves out from under the bags and two rats begin to squeak at you as intruders! FIGHT!
Romi will think about the deal and say, Oh I like to barging, but that's a bit too steep. How about 2 for 7gp? Turning to Peat he says, Oh I hunt around the jungle to find things to trade. It's always fun to see what's out there. I haven't see any problems. Are you expecting something? Is there something new?
Thinking back to the list, you know Tlaytin is an elf and you need to track him down and figure out why he needs space in the observatory. You know he's mostly at Romi's Curiosities. Heading there you find Romi, a human, talking with a tall elf wearing a silver mask. The human starts in first, Welcome all! I have wonders and delights from locations most mysterious! is ther eanything you would love to buy? I have consumed aeon stones for only 4pg each! Please buy today as tomorrow I leave for more adventures in the jungle. The elf look at you and says, I am Tlaytin. Nice to meet you. What would you like to say or do?
You get to work, either yourself or by finding men and women who will work for you and you spend the rest of the day gathering materials. It's not the hardest thing you've done, but it takes time. But, you finish up! Skorga thanks you all and gifts you a bottle of a local Talasantri (a nearby merfolk city) deep wine as thanks. The bottle is worth 25 gp, but is also a particularly exquisite vintage and grants the PCs a +2 circumstance bonus to Make an Impression if they share it or gift it with another local. Skorga then goes into the warehouse and a little bit later as you recover on the docks comes back with your cart. You can hitch it up to the mule and head off home. Where to next?
Having decided on a course of action, its off to the horse! Inizkar explains that she made a payment to the Carrollby’s Horse Ranch,
Any objections? or are we taking the horse?
Life on the docks continues as most of the work of unloading the Star of Almas begins to die down. Dockworkers begin to scatter as the final bits of labor are handled, with some moving on to other tasks and others drifting off to chat or take a break. The hustle and bustle of the unloading soon gives way to the more stable regular work and movement, and the docks begin to feel empty compared to what it was just like not too long ago.
Welcome to Talmandor’s Bounty, on the island of Ancorato. In a few days’ time, a stellar eclipse will occur that will be visible from the island for some time. While observing this eclipse from my observatory should be easy enough, the expedition will ensure that you all and I have the best seat in the house. The plan is to travel through the jungle toward Nal-Shakar, a larger observatory situated over a caldera near the center of the island. This observatory features much more powerful equipment since it was originally an Azlanti structure. Once there, the expedition will spend about two weeks observing the eclipse and generally working on further astronomical research. Unfortunately, Inizkar explains, a lot of the necessary work before heading out on the expedition hasn’t been completed yet. my assistant, Havilah, didn’t complete a number of tasks before he set out on a trip. I've spent the last two days working on other matters and assumed that Havilah would handle the remaining errands, but as of this morning, there are still several tasks to be done before the expedition
She then hands you a list of the remaining tasks and looks at you all, [/b] What questions do you have for me?[/b]
Hello!
Thaumascourge, Jacen Benedictt,Matt Morris and Blueberry Peat you're in due to being the past two who played in my other game Thats seven. let's start there. Ill see if those seven stay in and then we can what happens.
Here's your link!
Round 1, FIGHT!
Peat channels the gods to do their work!
Time to learn! Vloriaks rise from the sinful souls of those whose acts of sabotage resulted in despair and terror, and they delight in the destruction of mortal artifice. Often called despoiler demons, vloriaks were the followers of Xar-Azmak. Their numbers have dwindled over the eons since the Lord of Rust’s death; those that exist now are scattered throughout the Abyss. Their chitinous bodies and faceted eyes give them an insectile appearance.
Jacen throws magic at the demon. It hurts, but its still standing.
The demon runs to the cultist screaming, “Who are you to think yourself worthy of a dead demon’s notice? Nothing but a stain, mortal! It then licks him as blood and rust spread across his armor and body. it then licks the rust and restores all the damage it took.
Round 1, FIGHT!
Thalassa helps the team, but misses the attack on the demon. Caleb follows that up with a gust of cutting wind. It hurts the demon who turns to you all, and cuts down a zombie.
You head to the shopkeeper. Shes elated to see you all and shocked at the woman you bring in toe.
Otherwise you can rest up, eat up, and be fully ready for another jaunt int the dungeon picking right up where you last left.
I like it! You crush the door and find....This cramped room is littered with debris, with the broken remains of ancient furniture scattered throughout. A nest of smaller splinters covered with a heavy traveling cloak forms a makeshift bed near the east wall. And and old friend! Ordwi is here, beaten, battered, but not broken. As you enter the room she recoils for a second and then smiles and says, Thank Cayden Cailean, you have returned! If you had been a few more days, I might have died. I dont know much and I have not symbol to my god, but I will help how I can. What do you do?
round 4, fight!
Peat runs up and helps Kazmuk with the metal man. He hits hard and fast. one swing lands with a solid clank doing decent damage. Thalassa administers healing to Kazmuk getting the dwarf back into the fight. A newly revitalized Kazmuk smacks the metal man until it stops moving. We're out of combat as the metal wizard collapses to the ground. What do you do next?
You leave the froggy woman to her bath and head back to the main room. You carefully prepare to open the north door. This chamber is covered with shelves on nearly every wall. Several crates and some barrels sit on the floor. You search the room and find... a decaying leather pouch that contains 45 cp and a single platinum coin, dozens of empty potion
Search the south door your find....These modest chambers contain a small dusty mattress, a chest of drawers, and a writing desk. Standing upon the
Also, LEVEL UP! You are now level three! Also gain a heropoint.
The frog woman hands out badges to anywho take them. As you put them on you feel.... nothing special. The frog woman turns to you and says in her strange ribbiting voice, We knew there was a church here, but when we got here they stopped worshiping the god. We are not sure why they stopped, but they did. We took what we could from where we could, but when they challenged us, we walled of where we could and collected our goods. Beyond that, we know is a demon. Our Lady has not told us to fight them, so we leave them be. They have left us be as well.
You don't hear anything at this door and when you open it you find... more doors! Looking and listening at those you hear... nothing! These chambers contain a few bedrolls laid out atop a flimsy mattress of dry grass. Odds are the people who live here are somewhere else. Looking in these rooms your find 17 gp worth of ancient coins and curiosities—
Where to next?
Right now all you know is that there is something CRAZY happening with this group of war god worshipers. They have all switched to some demon who is all about decay and rust. This person was here and noted that some seriously bad stuff is happening and maybe that elder is dead. You may have time, but something is up.
Peat thinks about this place. He realizes this is a library and is rebuilt. its a probably hiding half the room, and that redbook on the shelf looks like its tied to this hidden room. Cain just gets mad and dashes the woman to pieces with one hit. the place is quite now. What do you all want to do? HERO POINT! We've cleared some rooms, time for a hero point!
Round 1, FIGHT!
Thalassa sees the man and channels pure anger and magic to tear this man appart. She crits him and just one two punches him to death! Jacen sees the horror and throws force right at it! It hits hard and the horror screams in some language the makes the room darken and your ears itch and feel wrong. Post! Also gain a heropoint. I haven't given one out in a few rooms, so take one!
Chaos Cat opens the door and finds A pair of wide racks stand against the eastern and southern walls in this chamber, each with three segments: left, right, and center. Small divots in the racks hold clusters of ten-foot-long iron rods coated with large splotches of rust. Flaked-off pieces of rust litter the floor. You know the floor is trapped. Do you want to disable to trap? Map updated.
Looking around you find a set of sterling artisan’s tools designed specifically for the delicate work involved in creating talismans as well as a half-finished crafter’s eyepiece under the southern cabinets; its construction is nearly complete and requires 4 days of work and 30 gp worth of components to finish. It’s far enough along that it’s
You also see a wheel and locking mechanism on the north wall controls a trap in the room to the north. You can disable it or trigger it if you like. Looking at the function of the place you can figure out that this place was a workshop and it still is. They are just keeping the holy rust that now covers all the tools here. Where to next?
Round 1, FIGHT!
The cultist snaps up a dagger and throws one at the cat!
Round , FIGHT!
Thalassa throws more water at the culist!
Peat move quietly around and spikes a bolt into the cultist!
and under this combined assault, the one cultist drops to the ground, bloody, wet, and frozen. Its a quite room what happens next?
