Wither in our next session players?


Wither in our next session players? I am sorry to say that our next session will have to be on 11/10, as I am, once again, jammed with work. I apologize and will try my best to get us back on track for a weekly session. In the meantime, I need to know what I should be preparing for given these irritating time cosntraints, so here are the open hooks. Let me know what looks appealing to you! (For reference, I've included you current map of level 2.)

(1) The party has finally uncovered the location of the legendary Summer Palace. It is in hex 2612 of level 3 far to the east. For the information you received about the Summer Palace from the chittering masons who built it, see the comments to this thread https://plus.google.com/106146496996956180494/posts/gbzKwXXecdy

(2) Your successful siege of the Lurid Toads has uncovered a large brass door leading into the wall of the previously submerged stone cavern.

(3) A plumed bird man you freed from captivity in the wicker cages told you that there was a “temple of man idols” just south of the small mountain (Mount Drethi) in hex 2312 of level 2. He made reference to the “worthless shining baubles your kind is obsessed with”.

(4) Vaz has suggested you visit his master, the witch Zalvorex who is always seeking apprentices and champions in his endless struggle with Bazekop, the demon of the west wind. Zalvorex's traveling manse drinks regularly at the emerald pools that are said to flow in the densest part of the jungle below, two miles southwest of the pagodas in hex 1713 of level 2.

(5) Nekalimon entreated you to visit Bazekop, a benevolent spirit of the air who has given you a magical pearl. He is in need of able personages to help him in his ceaseless contest with the foul demonologist and necromancer Zalvorex. Bazekop can be sought in his invisible tower, which floats near the aerie of the giant crows in the lowest level of the jungle, on the far west side of the island in hex 1412 of Level 4.

(6) The party has uncovered numerous oddities in the jungle. In level 1 this includes the unexplored tunnel to the caves in 1709. In level 2 this includes "the valley of the flowers" in hex 1510 and the shimmering portal in 1411.

    If we explore that Temple of Man-Idols in 2312/ level 2, that'll map out a route towards the Summer Palace.

    I was thinking that. And give us (probably) much needed experience.

    Alright, temple of man-idols sounds good.

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
