SESSION 198 – April 11, 2018

SESSION 198 – April 11, 2018

The party managed to finally leave Feldmark and reach the open water with course to Lonely Isle.

During the trip we all trained using the automaton plans and devil fish bilogy notes to gain advantages in fighting them. Rallion scanned Lonely Isle, Midmark, and Xen Khel for signs of activity. Clean up from the use of the weapon in Midmark, dwarven guards keeping watch over the entrance to the depths of Xen Khel, and swarms of infected at the docks.

We encountered an odd area of clear sky and differently colored water in the midst of the storm. Nash swam to is and saw swirling water funneling fish into the depths. Kauri sent the mini-ship to investigate also, and we did not discern the source or cause of this phenomenon.

A similar effect was encountered by the Starchy Boyz between Midmark and the island with Grell’s pirates.

The next day we encountered a pirate ship crewed by half-orcs from the same fleets as Nash and “Darla”. All ships of the fleets were to head home. Nash and “Darla” were cautioned to not take too long or risk missing out on land. We advised them to avoid Curabell as there were hordes of infected. We also explained to be careful when disposing of the infected to prevent it spreading.

Nash spoke once more with the virtual goddess, Lysander, and learned that Xeno Tel is tracking us. We decided to put out most powerful ancient dwarven artifacts in a chest to prevent being tracked. To further hide, we tacked a silver circlet to one of the masts and designated it a shrine so the sailors wouldn’t touch it.

Xeno Tel plans to shoot down the ship. Lysander says that she and the others can give us a chance by distracting Xeno Tel long enough for us to get in the air.

The plan is to board the sub and find the tunnel under the island, while the Bronze Wizard draws the infected to the far side of the island. We hope to find the ship and get into the air with enough time to beat Xeno Tel and prevent the armada from arriving and destroying those who live here.

SESSION 197 – April 2, 2018

SESSION 197 – April 2, 2018

Clean up for the procession the next day. Reception in the Ark Cathedral. Wheel and deal a bit with Cuddy for training, supplies, etc.

We get a small crane, small cannons, regular cannons, and ballistas for the Bronze Wizard.

Dorcas – Wizard to do training for Kauri & Laris.

Oskar trained by guardsmen.

We buy a bunch of healing, cure disease, and cure poison potions form druids and various temples.

We spoke to Inquisitor and someone took his memories, so instead of inviting him to help us, we knocked him out and had Serithaz remove all memory of us.

After training, we move to the ship to leave a few hours before dawn to arrive at Landing at first light so we can see to navigate through the re-opened but narrow channel.

While Rallion, Kauri, and others wait anxiously on the ship, Nash, Bavmorda, Laris, and Estrill rob the Ark Cathedral.

During night we passed the area where we fought the infected and everything went OK.

We get to Landing and the land falls behind us, as we make our way out to sea, as we finally head towards Lonely Isle.

Temples Eleven

Temples Eleven

Ted was wondering about scape-goating a different faction for the planned heist at the Cathedral of Evenkeel. Here are the possibilities we brainstormed so far:

– Refugees from Midmark

– Cult of Lysander (the Devil Fish worshippers, not Nash’s church)

– A different religious order (Merendur?)

– Imperial Agents

– Criminal Underground of Feldmark

He wanted to throw this idea out there so people could give it some thought before tomorrow night.

SESSION 196 – 03/28/2018

SESSION 196 – 03/28/2018

About 9 am, see the ship on the water coming back up river and see the infected following along.

c. 300 of them are coming.

We had are preparations in place.

3 waves of them run into the pit.

Entagle and web hold all but 7 in place.

The exploding powder kegs kill them all.

The guardsmen gather up the bits that aren’t buried, and bury them and cover up the poorly buried bits so they can keep them under control.

We suggest they send a ship with clerics to look for survivors.

It will be a few days before any ships can get past the mouth of the river, so we return to Feldmark where we are greeted as heroes with shouts of “Keepers, Keepers!” (AKA Keepers of the Council of Midmark.)

Rallion was the last off the ship and is perceived as the leader, so Cuddy Hawk holds up Rallion’s hand, waits for the cheers to die down, and says that while we came as Keepers of the Council of Midmark, we are now the Defenders of Feldmark.

There will be a processional in our honor tomorrow from the temple square to the council square.

We will be given rooms at which we can stay at the castle whenever we are in town. Poorly furnished for now. We will also receive 12,000 gp in gems, and perhaps other emoluments.

Cuddy cautions us to be ready bright and early for the processional.

The countdown timer is at 00000.01.22. If we take 1 day for celebration, 7 days for training (Bavmorda, Laris, Oskar, Kauri?, and ??), and 3 days to get to Lonely Isle, we should reach Lonely Isle on 01.10. [I missed something – I came up with 13 days leeway to find the ship to work on it for two weeks and launch.]
