The last three sessions saw the party returning to the Summer Palace.

The last three sessions saw the party returning to the Summer Palace. Rather than try to enter the third floor from the roof, they opted to explore the eastern portion of the first floor of the southern wing. The party discovered some wonders there, including a plant that produced faces, and several potential treasures including a precious flagstone and a grand chandelier. However, they were beset by malicious, invisible, flying creatures. Rather than tangle with them further or try to haul all the treasures they had spotted out thus far, the party opted to follow the lead of a scrawled map they discovered six (?) sessions ago. Following stairs down to a lower level beneath the Southern Wing, they were led to a room engraved with magical circles. They found that those wearing the robes with the royal insignia could trigger the circles. Using their two robes, they teleported into what they surmised was an upper floor of the queen’s tower. They discovered a nice haul there, dispatching along the way some orchid headed origami soldiers. With plenty avenues left to explore, the party beat a retreat back to Shirishanu’s grove, where we will resume tonight, provided we have a quorum.

    Were the ornate chess pieces we got already figured in a previous thread?

    I think so, but let me check Aleksandr Revzin

    Strangely the answer seems to be no, although I could have sworn we did that already. I think maybe you decided they were too cumbersome. In any case, you can have them hidden in the woods by the grove now with the help of the invisible masseurs.

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
