Zane considers his vast planar knowledge for useful information about Avalon. Knowledge Planes 1d20+12=21

Whoever this Mistress was, she had lots of gold at her disposal. She must also be an incredibly powerful opponent. With the High Mages going in individually, Usu wished he could follow them. Their magicks would likely be spectacular to study.

Resigned to going in the third wave, he went to gather all his goods from his room, urging the others to do the same. Who knows what they would face when they arrived at the site of battle.

His possessions checked for, he returned to the teleportation site in anticipation of leaving. He was curious which of the others would return, and which would slip away during the confusion.

Spoiler:
Avalon is a town that, once every few years, appears on the Material Plane. After the third such appearance, people began to populate the city. They even began to use the arena for entertainment purposes. Magical duels soon proved to be the most popular, and so the Golden Wand Tounament was born. No one is sure where Avalon goes when it leaves the Material Plane, and those in charge of the city evacuate the entire populace(who are actually more like people staying at an Inn) to prevent any possible disasters. Avalon appears and disappears on an exact schedule. Anything left behind when Avalon disappears isn't always there when Avalon returns.

Sorry for the delay. Is everyone ready?


Male Tiefling Wu jen 5

I'm always around, but I don't know if the others are checking so much.


Male Human Wizard 8

I'm here.


Human Warmage 5

I'm still here.

Hm, where is Violese?

Moving on...

As your group is sent to the castle where it is believed the 'Mistress' is, you come out on to a horrifying site. All around you lay the remains of broken magical items(wands, staffs, shredded scrolls, etc) and the remains of those who weilded them. The smell of fresh death and wasted magic clings to the air, made all the more ominous back the dark castle looming before you. You encounter nothing as you make your way to the gloomy castle, and you can see the drawbidge is down for any who wish to cross.

Stepping through the carnage, Usu kept an eye out for corpses of High Mages. If those wielders of powerful magic were also killed, then he was certainly not a match for whatever killed them.

Approaching the ominous castle and bridge, he glanced at his remaining companions. Violese had, perhaps wisely, disappeared. Apparently her skills at self-preservation were keen. Before he crossed the bridge, he said to everyone, "Now would likely be a good time to cast your extended protection spells. Who knows what we will encounter once we cross the threshold."

Usu waited for the others to finish their spells, if any.

Spoiler:
There are indeed a few High mages amoung the dead. You remember what some of them specialized in, when you can see enough to identify them. Most of them worked best with the Evocation scholl of magic.


Human Warmage 5

Trymos stands near the front, his spear at the ready.

Still waiting for at least one more person to post.

As you move into the castle, more carnage appears every time you turn a corner. Every room you search has nothing in it, and you finally find a stairwell leading up and down. From your observations earlier, you know the castle has at least three levels aboveground.

Which way do you go?

Shadow Lodge

Hello Archives, we really must stop meeting like this.
