Season 2
Session 14: After the Inauguration (20 Huenti 785 to
27 Huenti 785)
 |
Weeks pass between
the battle and the inauguration. Tchau goes to Iott to finish
his business so that he can end his official service. Emmerick
restlessly waits in Mydir for an assignment. Solaris and his
cohort, Ri and Jonathon, spend a glorious time in Mydir.
Olokas reads the holy book he was given and spends time learning the
ways of the knights of the white sword from Sir Kaelis. Saren
spends the weeks taking classes at the paladin academy. When
time comes for the inauguration, they are all invited to attend. |
 |
Inauguration day is a huge spectacle. Solaris is
mobbed by hundreds and can do little except appease the
masses. The others gather for the first time in
over a month and look around the area. They meet
several dignitaries, including Aianna Cadmurren or the
Destroytian Republic. She listens intently to
their story of the recent battle and invites them to sit
in her box to watch the proceedings. When it ends,
she bids them farewell. The group decides to meet
the next day to discuss the next course of action. |
 |
They meet
at Saint Toppin's and are greeted by Roger, a cleric has
been assigned to help them in the past. They talk
about possibly going back to the desert temple among
other things until Joseph arrives. He says that
while they were relaxing, he was tracking down a lead.
The source of the creatures that are smuggled into Mydir
he believes is a cleric of Falan opposed to his and
Emmerick's order that left Pacyr a decade ago. His
name is Torrence. Joseph believes he is operating
out of Hertoplowis right across the border. The
group agrees to pursue that lead. |
 |
They go
to question Riles, the smuggler that they arrested
before the battle. He tells them again of the
structure of the operation. He tells them that he
has two competitors that smuggle meat into the city, Mod
and Jackson. He tells them how he contacted others
and the name of the messenger, Doug. Taking that
information, the group stakes out the other two
smugglers. They find nothing and decide on the
third night to put a barrel out behind each of their
houses, the signal for the messenger. Two nights
later, Olokas and Ri see the messenger approach
Jackson's house. They capture both of them. |
 |
The group
interrogates the charmed captives. Emmerick
removes an evil necklace from Doug. He tells them
more about the operation, and about Torrence, the ring
leader who is living in Hertoplowis.
Unfortunately, the necklace, once removed activated.
Clement reveals, through Joseph, that as soon as the
necklace was removed, everyone nearby was scryable.
The necklace should have also exploded in a fireball and
killed the former wearer, but the magic of the
University prevented those wards from activating.
Olokas has some choice words with Emmerick. Doug
further tells them when the next shipment is due in
Mydir. The group decides to stake out Mos'
warehouse. |
 |
Two days
later, the find a Mos and a man leading sheep into the
city. They capture and charm them. They ask
the other man what he is doing and find out he is
delivering sheep for slaughter. The next day, they
confirm the story with two local butchers who were
illegally buying animals for meat. The captured
man has an item which he says can contact his associates
and possibly Torrence. |
Session 15: A Southern Diversion (27 Huenti 785 to 1
Kiusta 785)
 |
The group discusses
the options. Clement agrees to send Swift to speak with
Jezzalia to determine what if anything is in the desert temple.
Emmerick and Tchau will go and try to find Torrence in Hertoplowis,
allowing the others, who will be more likely discovered in that
nation, to stay in Mydir. The two are teleported to a nearby
town and walk into Hertoplowis. They take Jarin, the dwarf who
they had freed from the slavers and was willing to help identify
Torrence. |
 |
Sir
Kaelis visits Olokas the next day and suggest, if he has
nothing else to do, that he spend some time learning how
to ride a horse, in his continuing effort to become a
knight. He suggest that they could ride to the
Polar Rim Mountains, two days away and visit the mines
to see if they had any mithral or admantium.
Solaris agrees, wanting to get away from the worshipping
throngs of Mydir after more the six weeks there.
Saren goes as well. Ri, not being able to ride at
all, remains. |
 |
For two
days they travel and Sir Kaelis teaches mounted combat
and riding. They reach the base of the mountains
and camp. The next morning, they go up to the town
of Desartalla, a sledgehammer dwarf mining town.
They go to the inn, the Mountain Fountain, although
Solaris stays at the shrine of Hemator. They ask
the merchants about metals, and try to talk to the
mayor, but it is his day off. The next day, they
find Dean Major Icehammer, the dwarven military
commander. He is at his office in the viewing
station above the town. They introduce themselves,
and like to everyone, Solaris is awe-inspiring.
Olokas asks if their is anything that he can do to help
the town. The Dean tells them he will consider it,
and that they have horses and are fast makes them useful
to him, as his dwarves are slow. They leave. |
 |
The day
before, Solaris and Saren had noticed one evil man at
the inn. They also noticed evil presences
occasionally flying overhead. This day, they again
notice the presence and soon after, the man at the inn,
this time alone. Saren stares him down. The
man leaves and they follow as discretely as possible.
They follow him to another inn and then out of the town
when he finally notices and begins to run. They
give chase down the mountain and he begins to jump over
boulders to speed his descent. Solaris tries the
same but nearly kills himself. Surviving, Solaris
is able to magically hold the man and the group brings
him back to the town. When they reach the gate,
the guard opens it and they are all attacked by icy
winds and cold. The flying evil presence appears,
and they more of them. The cold kills the
prisoner. The gate guard falls to the ground and
Aker takes him to safety. They others defend until
Solaris is able to fly and engage them. Olokas
jumps off the wall after he climbs it to attack.
One of the creatures, humanods of air and ice, larger
than the average man, descends and grabs the backpack of
the dead man. It throws the pack to another one
before Saren, Olokas, and Sir Kaelis destroy it.
Solaris, having destroyed one, gives chase. Before
he can reach it, it uses some illusion ann escapes.
Solaris tracks it to one of the mine entrances. |
Session 16: From Diversion to Mission (1 Kiusta 785 to
3 Kiusta 785)
 |
Solaris
returns to the others and they revive the guard.
Soon many other dwarves arrive. They all wait for
Langus Icehammer, the Dean Major whom they spoke to at
the guard post. They tell him everything that
occurred. He has the body taken to the temple and
tells the others that he will have information collected
and sent to them. They go and rest and wait.
|
 |
As they
are waiting, and Anklelent arrives. At first, they
think it is Swift, whom they had met with Clement.
It is not. Rather it is named Gales and it
announced that it is there to aid the chosen one
Solaris. Its first mission is to retrieve the
other companions. After Solaris mentions creatures
summoned with gems, it also says it will stop at the
Guardian Temple and inform them, as they have been
looking for such creatures.
|
 |
Gales
goes to Hertoplowis and finds Emmerick and Tchau.
He finds them as they are about to attempt to capture
Torrence. Unfortunately, his arrive sets off an
alarm, and Torrence does not leave the inn.
Emmerick convinces Gales to help them before he takes
them away. His plan is simple, scare Torrence into
surrendering. Emmerick enters the inn, followed by
Tchau flaming and Gales. Torrence is frightened,
but flees magically. Gales tries to do the same,
but cannot. Instead, he flied the others out of
the nation until he can teleport them to Mydir.
Once there, he drops them off and goes to the Guardian
Temple.
|
 |
Gales
tells the guardians what has occurred with Solaris.
They agree to send someone to investigate, and pick
Dovan (a former companion of Solaris) to go. The
two teleport to Mydir, where they meet up at the
University with Tchau and Emmerick. After
introductions, Emmerick tells them that he will remain
at the University to speak with Clement. They pick
up Tchau's familiar Almantiro and teleport to Desartalla,
where they find the others.
|
 |
For two
days, the groups is fed information by the Dean Major.
He then meets with them. The group decides to go
into mine 4 to look around. The Langus says he
will provide a guide and get the mayor's permission.
By the next day, the group has both and the go into the
mine by late morning. It is raining. Their
guide is named Bromek. Almantiro and Gales wait
outside, as does Sir Kaelis, who just recovered from a
stomach illness.
|
 |
For
nearly two hours, they go down into the deepest shaft of
the mine. They find nothing. When the reach
the last room, Dovan senses outer planar creatures.
They notice the floor is illusioned. A gust of
wind comes up them from behind and knocks Aker, Saren,
and Bromek into the pit. Solaris and Tchau jump
after them, quickly giving themselves the ability to
fly. Dovan hides. Olokas searches the room.
Aker hooks the floor quickly and stops his fall.
Saren attacks the air and cold creature as he falls by
it. Solaris and Tchau are bombarded by cones of
cold, which exhausts Tchau's protection spell and nearly
kills him. Solaris is attacked are barely hurt.
Tchau flees, damaging one of the creatures as he does.
Solaris follows after him and heals him. Aker
climbs out of the pit. Dovan waits and watches.
Olokas turns invisible. The wounded creature flees
magically. The others, after a speech by Solaris,
disappear. Dovan notices movement and senses a new
outsider presence. He lets it pass him and rush
down the tunnel towards Solaris. It attacks and
hurts Solaris, showing itself to be a drow elf.
|
Session 17: Clash of Demigods? (3 Kiusta 785)
 |
Saren and
Bromek catch themselves and realize that they are closer
to the bottom than the top. They begin to descend.
|
 |
The group
moves to Solaris, attacking jinn as they get closer.
Solaris, Tchau, and Olokas attack and do little to the
drow. Dovan destroys a jinn. Aker aids Tchau.
The jinn attack from outside the tunnel with more cones
of cold, forcing Aker to flee into another tunnel and
out of the fight. Solaris tries to help the
situation with holy storms and blessings, but the drow
dispels them. Tchau leaps into lightning form
through the drow and several jinn, but he is attacked
and nearly killed, although his magical defenses so
badly harm the two that hurt him that Olokas is able to
dispatch them easily. Another jinn throws Tchau
into the pit, but is nearly destroyed in the attempt.
|
 |
A new
gust of wind knock Olokas into the pit, but he catches
himself with his grappling hook. Dovan flees into
hiding to avoid the drow. Solaris and the drow
continue to exchange spells and attacks. Olokas
goes after Aker and finds him. Dovan hides and
senses another jinn and destroys it. Olokas turns
invisible and with Aker's help destroys another two
jinn. The drow nearly kills Solaris, who moves
away and is soon joined by Dovan. The two
magically light the area and the drow leaves.
|
 |
Down in
the pit, Saren and Bromek see the falling Tchau.
They manage to catch him and heal him, but remain in a
precarious position. Tchau magic does not function
much, but he is able to send a message to the others
before the three descend again. A voice from below
them yells for help. When the get to the bottom,
they find a human and many dwarves. The human
tells the three that they all slaves, held for mining.
They ask the man if there is another way out, and he
says there is, but it is through frost giants.
Tchau says he can defeat them, and the head out.
On their way out, they are confronted by another jinn,
who they destroy. Tchau sends a message to the
dwarven guard post, telling them of their progress.
|
 |
Solaris
and the others make it to the outside of the mine and
send Gales to tell the Guardian Temple what has
happened. They look for the Dean Major.
|
Session 18: Do Not Engage (3 Kiusta 785 to 7 Kiusta
785)
 |
In
Desartalla, Solaris and the others tell the dwarves what
has occurred. The Dean Major calls out the militia
and begins to establish a defense. Solaris
contacts Hemator for information about their new enemy
and for guidance. Solaris also contacts Dourvan,
the quasi deity, who sends the grandmaster of his
knights and high cleric to the town. They will not
arrive for several days. Dovan sends the news to
the Guardian Temple, they tell him to remain and report.
|
 |
In the
mines, Tchau and Saren communicate as best they can with
the outside. Saren get help in the way of potions
from an unknown benefactor. They relay information
they get from the human and the dwarves. A meeting
is planned for the cave mouth, where Gales will teleport
everyone to safety once they all meet. Gales
scouts the cave and keeps watch. He notes that
there are a dozen giants at the cave mouth. When
the time comes, Solaris, Olokas, Dovan, Aker, and Sir
Kaelis will teleport and meet Tchau, Saren and the
others. The two days of preparation pass.
|
 |
Finally,
the time comes. Tchau sends word and shortly after
flies out of the cave invisible to scout. He sees
the giants. Then, for no apparent reason, the
giants form up and ready themselves for attack.
They do not see Tchau. Sensing the fight, Tchau
attacks alone, killing a giant and wounding another
badly. As the giants attention is turned to him,
the other appear. Solaris is immediately almost
killed and forced to defend himself. The plan
turns away from any hope of defeating the enemy.
Jinn appear and kill a dwarf, while freezing others.
Aker, Sir Kaelis, and Olokas attack the invisible drow.
Dovan hides and waits. Solaris defends and
coordinates Gales in taking away the dwarves.
|
 |
Tchau
kills the jinn. Saren attacks the giants.
The drow nearly kills Aker and Olokas, and then kills
Sir Kaelis. Before he dies, the unnamed human and
he recognize each other. The human makes it to
Kaelis' body and is able to stop Olokas from dying after
using Sir Kaelis' holy symbol. The giants attack
and try to grab everyone, they luckily fail. Gales
returns. Solaris takes the remaining dwarves in a
plane shift. Sir Mital takes Dovan, Olokas, and
Aker the same way. Tchau and Saren fight off the
giants and then leave for Desartalla with Gales.
|
 |
On the
planes, Sir Kaelis awakens. He talks to Sir Mital,
who is it revealed is his master, and Sir Kaelis the
former squire. Sir Kaelis walks off into the
heaven. The others wait for Solaris to be able to
return them to the world. Solaris and Sir Mital go
off and talk. Olokas trains with his new master.
The dwarves are grumpy in the odd place. They
eventually return to Desartalla, or at least nearby
until Gales finds and teleports them.
|
Session 19: An Unwanted Exchange (7 Kiusta 785 to 18 Kiusta
785)
 |
On the
planes, Olokas is approached by Camet Gemblade, who
offers to help him learn sword smithing. Olokas
spends most of his time on the planes learning.
|
 |
Saren and
Olokas return to Mydir. There they meet with
Emmerick and Ri, and also Tchau. They spend hours
planning how best to get Torrence out of Hertoplwis.
It is decided that they need more information and that
Ri should go in and collect it. Ri travels and
when he reaches near Torrence's home, bar, and temple,
begins to collect information and relay it back.
|
 |
In Mydir,
Olokas trains and learns and the Radiant Shield and from
Sir Matel. Services are held for Sir Kaelis.
Clement readies scrolls and the wagon the group has
requested for their mission. After more than a
week, Ri sends to them that he has found Torrence in the
temple where he is hold up with a dozen guards.
The group sets off for the temple. After they
reach it, they spend a day planning with Ri, who has
charmed eight of the guards.
|
 |
Emmerick
enters the temple from the front with the other
faithful. The others use the charmed guards to go
in through the attached building. The servants
flee from them. They make it to the entrance to
the temple and hear Torrence and the acolytes go into
the sanctuary to start services. They wait.
Inside, right after services begin, Emmerick interrupts
and condemns Torrence. The confused faithful
listen to the two clerics for a few moments. One
rises to stop Emmerick, but others subdue him.
Some leave the temple. Emmerick signals the others
and magically anchors Torrence, who casts spells to
defend himself The room begins to fill with cold
smoke, harming everyone. The other break through
the door. Tchau turns into lightning and leaps
through one acolyte and Torrence, killing the acolyte
who soon rises as undead. Saren and Olokas each
subdue another acolyte. Ri assaults Torrence
mentally. Tchau eliminates Torrence protections by
engulfing him in fire and putting a cloud over his head.
Ri tackles him as more undead rise. They begin to
drag Torrence away when another cleric, this one of
Everentual, arrives with guards. They try to stop
the group, but fail as they flee. Olokas and Saren
begin to leave and are blocked by a cleric of Han~Sui,
they are defeating him when Tchau shows up and
incinerates the near helpless cleric. Emmerick
remains to confront the cleric.
|
 |
The
group, without Emmerick, flees the temple and reaches
the wagon. They tell Joseph what happened and he
decides to stay and watch to see what happens to
Emmerick. The other flee the city and cross the
border without incident. In the temple, the cleric
of Everentual waits with Emmerick. The living
faithful leave, the undead are destroyed. A new
cleric arrives, baring the symbol of Falan. He
takes Emmerick into custody in the name of his sect.
|
Epilogue:
 |
Upon
reaching Mydir, the group turns their prisoner Torrence
over to Clement, and they all take turns questioning
him. They learn little, as Torrence is a fanatic.
He is eventually sent to a prison where he will languish
for decades.
|
 |
The group
gets a message from Joseph. He is in Hertoplowis
trying to stay close to Emmerick and relay information
about what is happening to him and when might be the
best time to attempt a rescue.
|
 |
The group
is left to wait. As the days roll by, Ri goes to
Solaris and spends time with his mentor. Saren
contents himself with study and practice in Mydir.
But the short-lived Olokas and the fiery Tchau are not
content. After two weeks, they take what they know
and head into Hertoplowis. Their mission does not
succeed, but they and Aker return to Mydir.
Clement talks with them and tries to calm them.
Their actions may well have put their enemies on an even
greater guard. Clement decides that he will turn
to plan B, which is to get other allies of Falan's
religion, those unknown to Hertoplowis, to complete this
task when needed.
|
 |
Clement
begins to collect his agents for the mission.
Olokas after two months, with no word from Joseph and no
events of note in Mydir or Pacyr, Olokas decides that it
is time for him to travel home. He says his
goodbyes and spends a week with his friends. He
says that he will return if called, when needed.
He and Aker leave, bound for the orcish town of Aslut.
Soon after, with little fanfare or explanation, Tchau
leaves as well. He mumbles some things about not
liking in in Pacyr and nothing to do. He says his
formal goodbyes and leaves heading north into lands with
little power.
