Planning Thread:

Is it worth it to go invade The Double now right away, even though I imagine we’re low on spells and some are low on hp? To assault them later would be risky due to all the prep they can do, but it would let us do prep. Or would that one potion we have only work while they’re in the particular dimension they are in right now?

Ben L. We don’t see the paladin dimension dooring away in the now completely empty sphere?

    Also if we hole up for a couple of days we can get GP/XP and identify some of the items we have.

    Aleksandr Revzin , thanks!

    If we are going to take a break, GP/XP would probably really help us. If we could sacrifice a week or so, Ernis might be able to learn a new spell from Zalvorex which might be handy rather than her growing/shrinking stuff all the time.

    It's hard to predict what Captain Moldybutt will try to do next, the guy seems off his rocker. (I think it was Methhead who said he was kinda crazed Either he got what Moldybutt needed off of the boat or he sacrificed whatever he could get off of it just to kill us all either on behalf of the windbag demonlord or just as sour grapes. Obviously Moldybutt has little regard for the lives of his crew, as it would be pretty hard for him to know we dispatched a lot of them as he abandoned them almost straightaway. I think we should be prepared for a counterattack on Zalvorex's home should Moldlybut decide to try to recoup his losses and believe we're all dead.

    On the other hand, this may be the best time for an ambush at the double, if he believes us to be dead or that we can't access his ship. It's possible he might have his defenses down, or that we could get past them with the (possibly needing to be living) hand of one of our prisoners. (Salinger set off the alarm when he waved his hand in the sensor.) It's also unknown what resources Moldybutt might have access to in Phantom Maria to get revenge on us later. Perhaps this might be something Zalvorex might help us with.

    Ultimately, I think what we do now is a choice between risking (and quite possibly losing it all) vs. protecting what we have. Given the situation, I'm probably more inclined for the latter. Now that we have a potion of transumbral migration and Zalvorex de-cursed, we could use it to Phantom Maria and get supplies/materials we might need to start constructing a new ship or pull some other strings there.

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
