I'll be doing an XP and treasure thread soon. But let's get the downtime thread rolling:

The party has come through another shimmering priaduct from Adrianna's quarters into Zalvorex's moving manse. After finding out about the Sapphire he was investigating, the party informed Zalvorex that they had a prisoner from Phantamoria. This is a being that came through his own priaduct while the party was in the library. The party wanted to know more about the group and its capacities.

Several things emerged from the conversation:

Methrion sails on a vessel called "The Double". It has a crew of 20, and is captained by Valdivoir.

The Double has materials to repair or replace the ruined sail of "The Parapraxis", Zalvorex's ruined vessel that is crashed in the Valley of the Flowers on level 2 of the White Jungle.

The crew of the Double have, apparently, ignored Zalvorex's SOS beacon.

The "travelers" from Phantamoria, including both Zalvorex and Methrion, undergo a process fusing a man and woman to become a single being that contains both the male and female principles. This is somehow useful for piloting their vessels through the Oneiric sea. Zalvorex is a brother-sister pair.

Ask away. What more do you want to know about the Double?

    Ben L. Has our dude in the basement noticed any attempts to open the door that were stopped by it being barred (like vibrations or the sound of someone trying to batter it down) or only the knocking? I'm still unsure if there is some magical thing happening where they can't even open the door or if its just the bar holding them back. In any case I think we need to hire some more muscle. Or start kenneling loyal dogs down there.

    Shemek hiTankolel Gain info and allies. If we don't open the door we should reinforce it. Unless we start harvesting oneiric oozes Final Fantasy-style (they're the ones we can turn into the potions that let us make the priaducts into Dreamland) we'll need to go through that door eventually.

    Aleksandr Revzin Samir says that they have not tried to batter the door down. Thus far they have been politiely knocking. He does not know if they can. (It's under the stairs on the first floor at the back of the townhouse, BTW, not in the basement. The basement has printing supplies.

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
