Adriana informs you that your flasks are filled with the residue of Oneiric Pudding.


Adriana informs you that your flasks are filled with the residue of Oneiric Pudding. Apparently some of your group had brought her a sample previously. She informs you that after withholding a portion for her own researches, she will be able to transform the pudding into an Elixir of Penumbral Transmigration. The imbiber of the Elixir falls into a slumber, his dream consciousness enfolding his sleeping body in a cyst attached to a "shimmering priaduct". This (tube?)will transport him to a location in Wishery that he has already visited, provided that he brings this memory to mind as he consumes the Elixir. The cyst at the exit point will remain in place for "around six hours" before dissolving, and may be used to transport its creator and his possessions back to the waking world. The distillation process is expensive, and covering her materials alone will cost you 150 gp per dose. She has enough material in your portion of the residue to brew four doses. If you get her more pudding, she can make you more doses.

When presented with the cases and their alarming occupants, the pink bow she is fastening in her hair falls to the ground and her complexion pales. (For the very first time, you have the sense that she feels out her league.) She acknowledges that the entities they contain appear to be quite useful in a violent sort of way, and agrees to buy them from you 600 gp total.

She confirms that the polearm is not magical. It does the damage of a polearm, but when being cranked ignores any armor less powerful than chain. Let me know if you accept her offer of purchase or wish her to brew the potions. Eric Boyd Travis Miller Chris P.

    Dozar will take her up on that. What's the cost and time for one of our wizards to transcribe that? It's one of the best first level spells for puzzles and traps and letting you go "OK, the servant just opens the door while we stand well clear and off-axis" instead of spending ten minutes being careful.

    +Eric Boyd Sorry, looking at my own rules, that quote was incorrect. It should take her about a week, and will cost you 700gp (double what it costs her). She also insinuates that the binding of minor Sandestins is common knowledge among all minimally competent wizards, and that she would not be willing to share the more refined sort of knowledge. The cost to transcribe a first level spell from the scroll to a book is 2d6 days (minus Gils' intelligence modifier) x 50gp. If you want her to scribe the scroll and make the potion, you should inform her which you want her to do first.

    At this, Dozar smiles ruefully. "We go through the Door with the wizard we have---not the wizard we might want or wish to have at a later time." I presume we'd like the scroll first; the potions will be of most value once the Door closes.

Zyan as Scented by Hiero's Nose

The Sunken Circle, The Temple of The Archons Steps lead down from each of the five shrines into the sunken area at the center of the Temple of Archons. Along the wall of the depression at shoulder height, an inscription is carved, “It Belongs Not to the Pawn to Question the Intention of the Hand That Moves It”. The bulk of the sunken area is taken up by a single immense block of red stone that has been carved into a wondrous model of a city. When one descends the stairs, the model lights up, illuminated by the same light that currently falls on Zyan above. When you first viewed the model, the streets are lit by the mottled light of sun through dappled clouds. But later, when you poke your heads in to the temple, the model is lit by silver light of the moon and phantasmagorical pools that accumulate below the city's dangling colored lanterns. The model rises to shoulder height at its highest, and waist height at its lowest. It is stylized, with some buildings and locations of ou

The Riches of Bazekop

Image
Over the last five sessions, our party of daring dreamers plummeted in the aerie depths of the lowest level of the White Jungle on the back of a fleet of giant war crows, violent and wild, with a phalanx of storm rider paladins. Their mission was to loot the invisible tower of Bazekop, Prince of the South Wind. In all honesty, my imagination had begun to wear a bit thin and algorithms repeated themselves, over the course of these sessions. So, I’d prefer to be forward looking here. This post is dedicated solely to THE TAKE, the greatest take the party has pulled in our three years of adventuring. (I still hold that had Clovis been present, the party might have perished. The party has a long history of accidental but timely player absences. You wouldn’t have the Petal Blade had Sir Tresken been present for the session in the Cenotaph of Lady Shirishanu where you faced Shirishanu’s handmaiden. But I digress…) Unasi removes his chainmail armor, and sets aside his ho

Campaign News for 5/9/2019

Two weeks pass since you returned from Bazekop's tower with your epic haul. It takes a long time for the items you brought through to be identified, appraised, and for the payouts to the party. In the meantime, the party has been scouting real estate locations, doing research, and pursuing other long term downtime goals. During this time, the party learns of several rumors and events: Since the party's trips to the dreamlands are a state secret, none know the true source of the Chatelaine's newfound wealth and splendor. Wild rumors circulate about the Storm-Riders having won a legendary haul for her. Some say they hunted and slew an ancient dragon that roosted about the shattered isles. Others say that the Storm-Riders ventured in secret through the door in the locked down section of Carver's Quarter around Ultan's Old Print Shop and bring back the riches of the dreamlands. Meanwhile, everyone at the Temple of Ulim is speaking about the party in the Lavender R
