Smon: GM: OK, you return safely to the Tower of Oriax that afternoon, to find that the amazon leader Clenderi has returned from her griffon trip to consult with Lady Meda of Thusia.
Smon: Clenderi regards Sandor with smouldering gaze, causing Svenya to frown, then says: "Welcome! How goes the Delve?"
Sandor Sunneson: It goes well, there is a community of goblins living in there, a few nasty monsters deeper down though,
Smon: "Foul goblins! Did you slay them all?"
chris107: "And news of the dark folk of Neo-Nerath too."
chris107: "They seem to be seeking the wisdom of the ancient Dragonlords.."
Smon: Clenderi's eyes widen. "The Black Sun? Here?!"
Sandor Sunneson: That is the intention, however first we believe there is a bit of treasure on the 5th level we hope to get before dealing with them
chris107: Amir nods sadly
Smon: The other gathered amazons also gasp at this news.
chris107: He explains about the statues and other relics of the ancients that we have discovered.
Smon: Clenderi: "It's rumoured our Queen Artemisia was investigating rumours of Black Sun activity when she vanished... But I never thought they could be so close!"
chris107: "Sandor, Svenya and I will be extra vigilent then."
Smon: "This is much more serious than the Thanatic priest at Selatine... The Black Sun are deadly foes, beware!"
Smon: Clenderi nods. "If you locate news of Artemisia or other such emergency, tell us and we will do what we can."
Smon: Svenya: "I thought Hakeem defeated the Black Sun months ago?"
chris107: (OOC I wish!)
Sandor Sunneson: Are you aware of any mercenaries who may be interested in assisting us?
Smon: Clenderi shakes her head: "No. They are not defeated. Just wounded."
Sandor Sunneson: Is this the chap who is going to get his sword forged? Sorry, I am not from this plane, and am only learning about the politics about this place
chris107: "I am sure the Slayer will soon be doing war upon them again!"
Smon: "Hmm... Jana Vex the priestess may be back this way in a day or so. And I hear Kogor of Kolda is adventuring around Bratanis."
chris107: Sandor, yes. My original 5e character
Sandor Sunneson: (once he is back from Mordor with his new fancy toy ;))
Sandor Sunneson: Who is Kogor of Kolda? I have met Jena, a good honest lady with a kind heart
chris107: "Sandor we should go seek out the Nerathi in the Delve. "
Sandor Sunneson: Have you seen Drakonak around?
chris107: (He's around somewhere)
Smon: Clenderi: "A famous dwarven adventurer, and expert on the Lost City of Thracia."
Sandor Sunneson: We should, should we wait for Jana to join us? I need some bits and bobs from the market
Sandor Sunneson: Their knowledge could come in very useful
chris107: Amir Asad is obviously eager to get stuck in to the foul Necromancers but will await his chums.
Smon: GM: You rest overnight at the Tower (so full hp & half your hd back)
Sandor Sunneson: How about we leave in 2 days, tomorrow I shall go to the market and leave early the next day?
Sandor Sunneson: so we all have full HD
Smon: Then you go north to the Selatine market?
Sandor Sunneson: Is there not one nearby at Oriax tower?
chris107: Beware Macreus
Smon: no
Smon: map http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0daFhLMffnY/V ... +Hills.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: Ok, no, I think we then wait to see if Jana or Kogor turn up, give it a couple of days, if not, then head
chris107: Okay, Amir will do some fasting and stuff while we wait.
Sandor Sunneson: You happy with that Amir and Svenya?
Smon: 13 miles west is the village of Kalmisj, a half day or so hike https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Ycux3Cw74ns/ ... e+Area.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: Did Clenderi manage to scry for Sodersfjord?? Any news there?
8:08pm 2017-2-08 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: Wait 3 days, see who turns up, if nobody does, we'll head off. Agreed Amir??
chris107: Hey Bill
Smon: GM: Clenderi tells you she is a warrior not a sorceress, but she mentioned your strange tale to Lady Meda. 2/12/4446 It's the evening of your second day back from the Delve and the rain is pouring down, when two rainsoaked travellers arrive from the south - Jana Vex in her Altani garb, and an older man in black & red.
chris107: Agreed.
Smon: Hi Bill!
DESTROYERBILL: hi
Sandor Sunneson: evening Bill
DESTROYERBILL: evning
Smon: The stranger - http://pluckyoutoo.files.wordpress.com/ ... =403&h=300
chris107: Ah, the Monk..
Smon: They enter the Oriax Inn where you are relaxing, an amazon tending bar.
8:10pm 2017-2-08 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
Smon: Jana: "Welcome friends, the amazons told me you were here! This is Kane, he has escorted me north from the Citadel of Water, where he has restored the Shrine of Mellora..."
Smon: Kane slips back his hood and regards you appraisingly, then nods.
chris107: "Lady Vex, Master Kane. How good to see you."
8:11pm 2017-2-08 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
Smon: Amir notes his gear looks Nerathi.
chris107: (Hmmm, noted)
Smon: Kane: "Well met."
Sandor Sunneson: Who are the Nerathi?
DESTROYERBILL: my charickter wakes up from diabetios when goblins are about to eat him
chris107: The foul necromancers of the black sun. Our arch enemies
Sandor Sunneson: Ok,
Smon: Jana: "Kane is last of the warrior-monks of Old Nerath..."
Sandor Sunneson: Greetings Lady, Good Day Kane
Smon: "And a great hero. He has been hunting the last of Yusan's wretched brigands across the Vale. We met at the Citadel."
Smon: They get bear and rugs to dry off, then sit at your table.
Smon: beer sorry
Sandor Sunneson: lol, feeling hungry?
chris107: "Yusan's fal is a blessing to all goodly folks."
Sandor Sunneson: Fancy menu,
chris107: hehe
Smon: Kane: "Well met. I hear you've been braving the Delve, slaying goblins?"
chris107: "Aye Master Kane.And worse."
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, although the community allow us freedom of movement as we have killed manticores that were dwelling there and eating them
chris107: "The Black Sun has been reported there in the depths."
Smon: Kane frowns. "The Black Sun - a foul perversion of Nerath's Light."
chris107: Amir shows lady Vex the healing Staff they discovered last time.
Sandor Sunneson: soz
Sandor Sunneson: And this sword was also found here (showing my +1 sword)
Smon: Lady Vex regards it. Kane gasps. "The Staff of Ulther!"
Smon: "PLEASED TO MEET YOU" says the sword, eliciting gasps from all present.
Smon: Kane looks at Amir. "That staff is a holy relic of Ancient Nerath. It was wielded by Ulther, who built the Light House that is now called the Tower of Oriax."
Sandor Sunneson: So we need assistance to see what else there is, would you both be willing to join us?
Smon: Kane nods. "Aye... and to keep the Staff safe."
Sandor Sunneson: Is Ulther now deceased?
chris107: "Then I feel it is yours more thn mine Master Kane." He hands the holy relic to the monk.
Smon: "For centuries, aye."
Sandor Sunneson: Ok
Smon: Kane takes the bronzewood in both hands, weighing it up thoughtfully.
Smon: There is a long silence, then: "No."
Smon: He looks up. "I am a Slayer, an Assassin. This is not for the likes of me."
Smon: "But the one who wields this could restore the Lighthouse as a holy place once more... " He offers it back to Amir.
Sandor Sunneson: That could be something to contemplate once the strange forces in the Delve have been investigated.
chris107: "I am told aholy father of Athena now holds the tower as his own?"
Smon: "You are a holy man, Altanian. Ulther was a priest of Pelor, who you call Mitra and Jana here calls Apollo. You are the rightful bearer."
chris107: "Then I shall try and prove worthy." he says humbly.
Sandor Sunneson: It would make fantastic location for worship, and such a tall errection built to a high standard of craftmanship
Smon: The amazon barkeep nods. "A high priest of Athena claims the tower - but he has only come here once, months ago, after the battle."
chris107: "Then let us take this holy relic and your mighty sword and do battle upon those who infest Dyson's Delve!"
Sandor Sunneson: Tomorrow, we leave after breakfast
Smon: Jana blushes slightly at Sandor's words. Kane nods. "The Tower is meant to be a Light to the world. With that Staff you can unlock its powers, I am sure."
chris107: (Food for thought)
Smon: OOC was quite a coincidence(?) that a Paladin of Mitra found Ulther's staff!
chris107: I'm liking it.
Sandor Sunneson: what does OOC stand for??
chris107: Getting a bit more of a fix on the character now. A purpose.
chris107:
chris107: Out of character
Smon: GM: You dine (-3gp for past days rest) then next morning assemble ready for the Delve.
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, this large erection with magic powers
Sandor Sunneson: ta
chris107: 2 mins chaps, call of nature. brb
Smon: Svenya Jana and Kane join Amir & Sandor under a leaden sky.
Sandor Sunneson: We shall look to deal with the goblins too Klenderi, to reduce the risk of menace that could occur in the future, but other things must take priority first
Smon: You head north out from the gate, Kane tells you of the Delve's history as you walk north.
Sandor Sunneson: Drakonak here too?
Smon: Clenderi nods to Sandor. "Keep safe..."
Smon: The ruined Shrine of Saint Ulther the Lighthousekeeper, sacred to both Ghinoran and Nerathi, stands atop a cliff spur eight miles southwest from Selatine, and three miles north of Oriax's Tower (the Lighthouse), where the cliffs lower to below 50'. A deep and lightless gorge cloaked in brambles runs to the east of the cliffs, and there is rumoured to be an entrance to the deep tunnels there, but the southern approach is easy via either a cave at the base of the cliffs, or a trail up from a spot just east of the cave mouth to the clifftop shrine above, where a spiral stair leads down into the crypts. St Ulther's own tomb lies on the first level, still sealed after perhaps four centuries (ca 4050 BCCC). Ulther is said to have been a Cleric of the Lord of Light - Pelor, Apollo, and/or Mitra, depending on who you listen to. He lived during the Glory of Nerath. Legend has it that he restored the functioning of the ancient Lighthouse, that is now the Tower of Oriax. It still shines today, and over the centuries since has doubtless saved hundreds of ships from the deadly reefs offshore. There are said to be extensive dungeons beneath the Crypts, known as Dyson's Delve after the mad Nerathi Archmage Dyson Logos, supposedly one of the legendary Founders of Nerath (ca 3700 BCCC). Before his madness Dyson aided Magroth, First King of Nerath, to slay the ancient gold dragon Ayunken-vanzen, to found the City of Nera, and to Light the Flame Imperishable on the highest rampart of Nera's royal palace. It is said that Dyson's fire magics were also instrumental in Nerath's early victories over the Deathwalker death-cultists of Thracia, who once ravaged the Ghinarian hills, taking countless sacrifices for their dark god. The Archmage and the Army of Nerath combined with the Ghinarians to drive the Deathwalkers from their surface holdings, down into the darkness beneath the ruined city (3720, est.). In later years Dyson is said to have grown crazed, and to have created the tunnels of the Delve in his quest for a power node that myth calls the Heart of Elemental Chaos (3750, est.). It is unknown if he ever succeeded, or what ultimately became of him.
Smon:
chris107: Back
Smon: Kane: "Could the Black Sun seek the Heart of Elemental Chaos, I wonder..."
chris107: is that from the blog?
Smon: yup
chris107: "Then we must stop them at all costs.."
Smon: GM: Approaching the Delve you see a fire in the entry cave, and Drakonok happily chewing on a roast giant rat.
chris107: "Hi Drakonok!"
Sandor Sunneson: We will look to hoover up all that is in Dyson's Delve (see what I did there)
Smon: Kane: "A Dragonborn!" He grips his sword hilt.
chris107:
DESTROYERBILL: hi
chris107: "He is a friend Master Kane."
Smon: Jana: "The Dragonborn are allies, Kane. They aided the Amazons and Hakeem against Yusan, remember?"
Sandor Sunneson: Drakonak, good to see you again
DESTROYERBILL: you too
chris107: (Maybe now we can destroy these evil Goblins?)
Smon: Kane, a tall, aging man in black & red robes, regards Drakonok. "Hmm... Dragonbear clan? You are kin to Shieldbiter the Mighty, the Slayer of Yusan's captains?"
Sandor Sunneson: Should we wish
