## Current Objectives
|
||||
- ~~Investigate the ethereal plane room~~
|
||||
- Travel to the old Dwarf capital, north-east of Vuln, Stormheim!
|
||||
|
||||
## Events
|
||||
- Sheila G, Green Guts, and Gartug _teleport_ to Lon's Thicket. Gartug is comatose for most of it, but eventually comes to as Sheila G is negotiating with the elves to harbor Green Guts. Evidently they agree. Gartug and Sheila G head back to the Manor House. There they meet with a Daimo, who informs Sheila G about a teleportation circle to Rivethane. Sheila G decides it's the perfect time to visit!
|
||||
- SG, Gartug, and Green Guts step through the portal. They arrive in a well-lit room, with ivory and marble columns, and a stone golem. After a brief discussion, Green Guts is convinced to return, and Gartug chases after him.
|
||||
- After Gartug and Green Guts return, Gartug realizes that the half-elf guards were notified that a goblin might be wandering around, and he is not to be worried about.
|
||||
- Sheila G tries the door in the teleportation room, and after really workin' it, yields no results. The stone golem engages. Combat!!
|
||||
- SG casts _righteous might_, and enables her force-field. The golem smacks her, but only takes down the force-fied.
|
||||
- Gartug returns and prepares to fight. SG fully attacks it. The golem smacks her and takes down her force-field again.
|
||||
- Gartug charges in and trips it! (TRIPS A STONE GOLEM FUCK YEAH), SG finishes it all. Combat complete!
|
||||
- Despite further attempts, the door does not budge. Green Guts offers to try, but also fails. He says he'll be right back.
|
||||
- SG and Gartug return to Lon's Thicket, and tell the Daimo about what happened. The news seemingly engraged the lord, who called for his armor, and, with his troops, returned through the circle to Rivethans. Gartug and SG return with them.
|
||||
- On the other side, they discover the door has been busted open, seemingly with some of the golem's parts.
|
||||
- Some of the lord's men move into the hallway beyond the door, announcing his arrival. Nobody responds. The Daimo notifies us that something weird is going on here. We move in and investigate.
|
||||
- In the hallway, we see two bowls with water (???) in it. After further investigations, Sheila G notices when looking into one of the bowls of water, that instead of her reflection, she sees Green Guts. She then discovers that interacting with the water casts _dimension door_ on the user. A samurai immediately runs over and touches it. Sheila G then touches it, and Gartug then does.
|
||||
- We pop-up in a golden gazebo, seemingly in the sky. All around us is a twilight sky. On a table in the center is an armillary sphere. Green Guts helpfully demonstrates that interacting with the sphere moves the night sky around us. After some further investigation, SG considers what constellations may be important to Rivethane. Gartug identifies where it might best be framed. Upon framing the constellation of Alseta, the water in the bowl changes. SG and Gartug both touch the water.
|
||||
- Gartug finds himself in a 5-by-5 pitch-black room with no exits.
|
||||
- SG finds herself in a room with 5 other bowls, and a pillar in the center with a circlet upon it. There's an arch-way leading out of the room. After her brief investigation, she identifies it as a historically-significant circlet belong to Falkier the Wise.
|
||||
- She heads out the arch, finding herself upon a walkway between towers. Beneath, she sees a courtyard. Upon the railings are several stone orioles; one recites a poem at SG as a fanciful way to ask who she is and why she's here. SG asks to speak with the bird's manager. After waiting a few minutes, eventually an elf answers the door. His name is Falinious Falnore. SG introduces herself.Falinious offers her brandy, shiny croissants, and peyote. They chat a bit more; Falinious is impressed by her sword. Eventually, they go to free Gartug.
|
||||
- SG and Falinious free Gartug. Falinious offers him peyote; Gartug refuses. After some more discussion, Falinious offers us three options: he can lead us to the low town, to find someone to handle the bureaucracy; he can send us back to Lon's Thicket; or we could all do peyote and perform transmutation magic on ourselves. We choose option 1.
|
||||
|
||||
- SG and Gartug pop up in Lower Thane. We head to an inn; it's packed with western elves. SG talks with the innkeeper to try and find someone to help her find her inheritance. Gartug gets a bunch of ale. After much discussion, but not a lot of answers, the innkeeper sends us to a person named Marmaduke. Gartug takes his mug with him (it's marked to belong to The Bouldery Eatery and Drinkery).
|
||||
- We move to a coffee house, where a young kid escorts us to Marmaduke, a half-elf in a tourquoise coat with a ridiculous hat. After a _very_ hazy information dump about her supposed inheritance, Marmaduke is intrigued enough to investigate. He asks SG more questions about her past some more; she has, basically, no answers. Eventually, SG gives him 200gp and some of her hair, and he asks her to check back with him in 5 days. Gartug wanders off to find an inn. After a bit more discussion, SG wanders off to the same inn as Gartug. She painfully negotiates drinking rates for the evening.
|
||||
|
||||
- In the morning SG and Gartug _teleport_ back to Rime, and meet with Harvey and Stackor at her temple.
|
||||
- The group returns Larg's remains to House Marg. They restore him to a full statue and hand him over.
|
||||
- The group _teleports_ back to Fort Ang.
|
||||
|
||||
- Back underground, the adventure will continue next week!
