Ben L. How much time do we have until we travel back to the Hanging Palace?

    It would be a feeding frenzy
    The power players in town would be:
    (1) Valmoreaux, the Captain of the Storm Riders,
    (2) the more powerful Apprentices (Mercurio, Albinus)
    (2) the High Voluptuary
    (3) among the People: the councils leading the Guilds of Hewers and Fishers

    Eric Boyd is right that there are other powers with an interest in the outcome—regional enemies of the Chatelaine’s (The Merchant’s Guild, The Grim Duke), and the big power players from afar, most notably the Viridistani (The World Emperor) with whom the Chatelaine is vaguely allied, and the Invincible Overlord who is vaguely allied with The Grim Duke

    Yes, unfortunately none of us are powerful enough to seize the reigns on our own, and I've yet to hear anything about a good king.

    WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT I SERVE HIM ALL HAIL THE OVERLORD.

    Salinger is just in a bit of a haze. "What if I catch the Chatelaine's eye and we become lovers, and I tell her about Zyan, and then I lead an army into it as her general?" He has completely overlooked that as an adventurer he might not have the time to properly train a troupe of dancers.

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
