BLADES Notes #59

The bridge is guarded by some sort of invisible being. It protects the hobgoblins and tries to dissuade them from crossing the bridge. They haven’t done it in three years. The humans had to do all the basic “menial” tasks. The Wind Chime alerted the hobgoblins of intruders.

Rest and Identify. We think the undead will dissipate when we beat them and take time to reform. We could then Exorcise them, which might free them rather than destroy them. The Locatha recommend entombing the Kraken artifact.
April 5, 2193
We are ready to go again. We owe The Republic for a Chain Mail upgrade +1 to +2 for Costigan.
The skills from the Ancients’ Pool are open & close doors; operate the elevators in a non-random fashion; fold rooms; unfold rooms and lock & unlock doors.

BLADES Notes #58

One of the guys behind him is badly hurt and one is instantly slain. The shaman and his guards shrug off the Lightning Bolt, but the shaman starts casting a spell with no apparent effect and then he starts casting healing spells that helps himself and his two buddies and the one that was badly hurt. The pile took almost maximum damage and then the orcs start rebuilding the pile. We decide to wait for the second Call Lightning to be available.

We are back home in New Teft.
We find a scroll to buy for 1500gp. It is Illusionist, cast at level 10, Phantom Steed x2, Rope Trick, Dispel Exhaustion. Zephram already has Rope Trick, so he should be able to copy 2 and cast 2. Dispel Exhaustion is 4th level, so he’ll have to wait to copy it.

Set sail for the Ancients’ City on the Northern Coast.
February 14, 2193
We arrive at the Ancients’ City and find that the docks are covered with a dome that rises out of the water instead of starting from the top of the standard white wall. The water level inside the dock space is about 2 feet below the choppy seas. At the dock is
There is a clearing with lots of very large dinosaur skeletons to the southeast. There is a small village in the northwest shelter of the domes at the foot of the cliffs.
There are a dozen structures with heavily armed orcs in the village. It appears to be families living around a shrine that looks like a pile of oceanic debris. There are probably 50 to 100 of them.

Party splits up to train and travel to train. Serlisse, Zephram and Shirlard stay in the east. The rest of the party sails west with Loba. Loba resizes some Ancients’ armor. We trade for
Talarian is Exorcised from the Lawful Evil spirit of the Slaughter of Innocents. 01 on the first roll for System Shock. It took 13 rolls on the Exorcism. An 11 and 18 failed, but the 10 made it on the 13th roll. The Heart vanishes. Talarian is restored to a half-Elf, but he takes 3 HP of permanent damage.
He regains 2 CHR, 4 COM points, loses 1 CON (and 2 HP) and his Strength drops to 18/42. He also is completely silent.

We land very close to the Ancients’ city that Loba is living in. When we open the door with ease (using our new talent), we trigger a flame signal and we have Zephram send up a Phantasmal signal to say the BLADES have come to the rescue.
Loba has found m

We arrive at the Locatha. Farwater is willing to join us. There is a pool in the far end of the city. Going into the dream pool involves fiendish transformations and puzzles. It is different each time. The high priest relates that he became a squirrel with a nut moving puzzle that had a bird that only ate odd numbers of objects.
We paid 5000 gp to go into the pool. Forces of Osperem (barracuda symbol) are in two places. To the east, they still see Blund flickering in and out on the land. The one to the south also keeps sporadically appearing. There has been a noticeable decrease in Druidical power to the east. Loba and Bergen seems to still be hiding and about 60 days ago the Overlord power increased.

The goblins will stay in the mine and work it to trade the iron to the Locatha for food and we get 500 gp per year which will be deposited into Sage Credit. We can make changes in the contract with 6 months notice.

Farwater shows up in weird-looking multicolored spiny armor. He assures us that is good camouflage in a coral reef and is his best armor. We loan him Arthur’s Belt of Hill Giant Strength.
We make plans to invade the hobgoblin and giant run mine from a hole in the ceiling of the ocean’s cavern. Through the hole is a room that has rusted and broken machinery for the old trading dumbwaiter. At the end of a short hall is a pair of magical doors.

We approach the foot of the mountains and realize that we need to go across, below or through the mountain. We find out from some salamanders that there is a guy in the caves. The humanoid eats the salamanders, so the salamander does not go through the caves anymore. We use Silence spells to approach him. The man has red hair.
“Thanks. Tell the people back Door Flower. Do not attack Memory of Breath. Tell the navy in Door Flower. Tell them what happened to Inton Silversmith.”

We spot three ogres in armor and insignia. They are muddy and demand food to let us pass. Way off in the mountains is a big army. The giants will make us join the army. They have heard that there is a land of free ogres here.
There is a road over the mountains. The talking rocks guard the road and demanded all their money to let them pass.
They decide to run as the party argues about what to do and we have the blood hawks bring them down in a shower of gruesomeness.
