chris107: Evening Simon
7:09pm 2017-4-27 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
7:10pm 2017-4-27 Sandor Sunneson Has exited the room
chris107: I had a terrible thought earlier...
chris107: test showing
chris107: I realised that even if Hakeem gets to Oricha. He has no means to reach Three Swords Isle
Smon: LOL
Smon: Swim?
7:14pm 2017-4-27 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
Sandor Sunneson: test
chris107: wb Fergus
Smon: We see you F
Smon: chris107: I realised that even if Hakeem gets to Oricha. He has no means to reach Three Swords Isle
chris107: He'll figure something out when he gets there. That's very Hakeem.
Sandor Sunneson: that was scary, all of a sudden thought the chat page and dragonsfoot thing was illegal and mcafee kickwed in
Sandor Sunneson: anyway, :), good evening
chris107: mcafee are hateful
Sandor Sunneson: Lets plod on
Smon: GM: Morning 29/1/4447 BCCC You take your leave and head west a little, then turn south, up into the wild hills...
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
Smon: You hike up rugged hill and down forested dale through the Arcadian landscape of the high hills, few signs that Man has ever lived here, just the occsasional mossy ruin or fallen wall.
chris107: heading towards the Citadel of Water..
Sandor Sunneson: Dagda of the oak woods feels at home in such landscapes
Smon: The sun passes its zenith. You walk on. White tailed deer scatter at your approach.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
chris107: "Fine country Dagda."
Sandor Sunneson: Unfortunately evil festers in all these lands somewhere
Smon: There a Ghinarian Blood Eagle circles high above - dangerous to lone travellers, they rarely attack groups.
chris107: "I spent most of last year clearing the evil from the Vale.
Sandor Sunneson: (no water vampires please)
Smon: Towards evening a light drizzle has begun to fall when you see smoke to the south-east, looks like a village.
chris107: Kalmisj perhaps?
Sandor Sunneson: Looks very serene here hak
chris107: "I'd really like to pass these villiages by."
Sandor Sunneson: does a ferry of some kind take us over the river?
Sandor Sunneson: Go into wolf traveller mode,
Smon: There's a ford.
chris107: Maybe rest there tonight then and press on to the Citadel of Water tomorrow?"
Sandor Sunneson: Say we are adventurers looking for the sword of bandax, that should do, just stick to that story
Sandor Sunneson: cool
chris107: (Hakeem is a Berserker not a wolf totem Barb, Sandor)
chris107: Aye cover up as best we can with skins and cloaks and slipinto the village.
Smon: GM: You head down from the hills.
Sandor Sunneson: (wolf totem barb is the latest mode ;), it's what the trendy people wear)
Smon: Reaching the ford you see fields around the town, sheep grazing.
Smon: A shepherd boy is grazing his flock just south of the ford, he watches your approach warily, two great Ghinarian shep-hounds close by.
chris107: (Hakeem is an old school nutter. None of this trendy stuff for him )
chris107: Hakeem thinks of Max.
chris107: Lost for the present.
Smon: The boy (about 14) calls out: "Hello there!"
Smon: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/15659/15659-h/images/illus-160.jpg
Sandor Sunneson: Greetings young man, don't be afraid, we are adventurers on a quest, we mean you no harm
Smon: He nods. "You should go speak to Thegn Oriana in the Hall, then."
Sandor Sunneson: link not working on my PC
Sandor Sunneson: We shall
chris107: Hakeem nods to the boy.

Sandor Sunneson: (Sword of bandax?? ok?)
chris107: (nor mine)
Smon: Second one better?
Smon: http://archives.dailynews.lk/2012/08/06/z_p15-David.jpg
Smon: Last try
chris107: (No, still no go there)
Sandor Sunneson: hmmmm.............at the bottom there is a pic of a shephard after bible stuff
chris107: Yup!
Sandor Sunneson: Always thought you were an athiast Simon
chris107: (Sword of bandax?)
Smon: The boy watches you past. You splash across the ford, only a foot or so deep, the water quite warm in the afternoon sunlight.
chris107: "Is there an inn lad?"
Sandor Sunneson: Can you take us to the hall
chris107: "We are not fit company for grand Thegns."
Smon: Ahead of you you see a farmer with broad-brimmed hat leading a white cow into the stockade.
Sandor Sunneson: We'll smile and walk past him
chris107: "Is there an in around here goodman farmer?"
Smon: The boy shakes his head. "Nearest Inn is Bratanis, 15 miles north on the road. But don't worry, she's not that grand. She was a slave girl until recently!"
chris107: "Then let's go see this fine Thegn."
Sandor Sunneson: (Bet she'll have a fine set of mammories)
Smon: GM: You head through the fields, watched curiously by the locals.
Sandor Sunneson: Head to hall, (Dagda will use his alias Angus)
chris107: (And I'll stick to Onigan)
Smon: Entering through the open gate, you see a smallish Lord's Hall ahead, at the centre of the somewhat dilapidated village - you know this place was sacked by Yusan some years back.
Sandor Sunneson: (I'll never remember that, what's wrong with Brian??)
Sandor Sunneson:
chris107: hehe
Sandor Sunneson: (call you O then)
chris107: I'm good with BRIAN IF YOU LIKE.
Sandor Sunneson: cool
chris107: Soz for caps
Smon: A guard stands at the hall gate, clearly just a peasant in his smock, leaning on a crude spear, a too-big iron helm tilted back on his head.
Smon: "Hello there friends!" He calls out. "What business brings you to Thegn Oriana's Hall?"
Sandor Sunneson: Hello guard
Sandor Sunneson: We are here to see Theign
chris107: "Could we speak with Thegn Oriana please. We are weary and looking for a bed for the night."
Smon: "That ain't her name, tis a title friend."
Sandor Sunneson: We are on a quest and need some shelter for the night
Smon: He nods. "Aye? What's your quest?"
Sandor Sunneson: I am Angus and this is Brian, what is her name?
Smon: "Oriana, Thegn to the Lady Thuvia of Bratanis."
Sandor Sunneson: Looking for the Sword of Bordax
Smon: "Aye? Never heard of it. Do you know Hotar?"
Sandor Sunneson: I don't, Brian, is Hotar a friend of yours??
chris107: "Afraid not."
Smon: OOC Hakeem vaguely recognises the name as one of Tug's men.
chris107: (Thanks)
Smon: "Well, he's in there with her. Hold on, I'll announce you..."
Sandor Sunneson: (Tug??)
Smon: He turns and ducks inside. "Angus and Brian, travellers, seek yer audience milady!"
chris107: (An ex pc)
chris107: (A giant hippo-man)
Smon: A woman's voice comes back: "Bid them enter, Aulus."
Sandor Sunneson: (ok so no threat_
Sandor Sunneson: _
Sandor Sunneson: )
Sandor Sunneson: we enter
Smon: Aulus the guard bids you into the dimly lit hall. Near the far end you see a statuesque blonde on a small throne, talking with a muscular Altanian warrior with huge greataxe - Hotar.
Smon: Oriana: "Welcome friends - enter."
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu2muGWpZgIZWVrYKMN5q_2BncffXClNKw_hfJyBrc9nZfMtk2-OKjV-pII48iqLSa_7XshsWu8PeZ_raNLJeTZciNGx6-OoEq5nC713q_ZUzh-nCmcU5QR3eU_jgs4EG3tPbbiYEpOCY/s400/1297025-1359302865.jpg
chris107: Hakeem bids them hello
chris107: (Ah yes)
Smon: Hotar on the left - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9_uGvwcEPsGP_WaJKuua2Q4Tpi8SukmWFGNGuppfCSMwfPWQM8grod6gG58QUICoCsAaoK36F3BJ7e5ffRPjIcagaeiKyKYM_9CBFJknkegzc_2y-48Lqm82SIIDY5ExGVjCTe4HVYhM/s400/00c4f393f50b5ec89789768183f1ba17.jpg
Smon: Aulus: "They seek the sword of Bordax!"
chris107: I remember the new pics now.
Sandor Sunneson: Greetings
Sandor Sunneson: And a bed for the night too please
Smon: As you step into the candlelight close to the throne, you see Hotar regarding you keenly, Hakeem especially...
chris107: "Brian, how do you do?"
Smon: Oriana: "Of course. First let us get you refreshments. Aulus, if you'd be so kind..."
Smon: The grizzled peasant sighs, sets down his spear and heads for the kitchen.
Sandor Sunneson: And I am Angus
Smon: Oriana: "Please sit..." she indicates two stools.
Sandor Sunneson: (such magnificent mammories those 2)
chris107: Brian does so
Sandor Sunneson: Nods in thanks
Sandor Sunneson: and sits
Smon: Oriana: "I'm very well, thank you. This sword, I don't think I've heard of it ...?"
Smon: Hotar grunts: "What way are you heading?"
Smon: Hakeem make WIS+Prof roll
chris107: "I'm following Angus."
chris107 rolls 1d20+6 and gets: 16, (+6) = 22
Smon: Aulus returns with breadrolls, olives and red wine.
chris107: yum
chris107: "Thank you, this looks great."
Smon: Hotar definitely recognises Hakeem. He was in the sea battle against Tal Lorvas' undead horde, slaying several skeletons, then again he fought with you against Yusan at the final battle.
chris107: (It's your sword Sandor )
Smon: However Hotar says nothing.
Smon: Oriana: "Please, eat." She takes a roll, nibbles.
Sandor Sunneson: towards the coast, giving a tip off about a sword, sword of Bordax
Sandor Sunneson: you 2 heard about it?
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you
chris107: If Hakeem gets a chance to talk to Hotar alone he will thank him for his confidence and ask him to keep it.
Smon: "The coast? That way lies the Tower of Oriax, now held by Amazons of Highhaven, in service to Lady Meda the Sorceress."
Smon: "And to the north, the lost City of Thracia..." She looks to Hotar. "Perhaps there is a connection?"
Smon: Hotar: "Hmm."
Smon: Laconic fellow.
chris107: hehe
Smon: Aulus pours your wine, Oriana sips.
Sandor Sunneson: We had a really nice day, walking through the dales and forests, reminded me of home, I
chris107: Hakeem sips and enjoys the olives. Wondering what his new pal will come up with
Smon: Oriana: "You see, Hotar was just telling me his concubine is having strange visions, which he thinks are of the Lost City. And she's been babbling about a First King Rising In the Darkness. Very strange, yes?"
Smon: Hotar shrugs.
Sandor Sunneson: This wine is lovely, we make a malted barley beveridge where I'm from, much rougher than this
Smon: Oriana to Dagda: "Yes, these lands are beautiful. I grew up here..."
chris107: Hakeem shrugs (This vision is becoming all to familiar)
Smon: "Malted barley? Really? How interesting."
Smon: Dagda make CHA+Prof check
Sandor Sunneson: Yes, normal barley, seeped in water
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
Sandor Sunneson: and when the shoot appears from the bud, you dry the barley and that gives you malted barley
Smon: +5 = 13, he's not *too* boring.
chris107: hehe
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Smon: Oriana listens attentively, you get the impression she doesn't see too many visitors.
Sandor Sunneson: Do you make this wine yourself??
chris107: "Would it be possible to rest here the night?"
Sandor Sunneson: Or from the area?
Smon: "Yes, we have vinyards on the slopes south of town."
Smon: Outside evening shadows lengthen.
Sandor Sunneson: Interesting, might be worth a visit one day
Smon: Oriana: "Of course, you may sleep here in my hall. Aulus will bring blankets."
chris107: "You are truely generous. Thank you."
Sandor Sunneson: have you travelled away from the area at all?
Sandor Sunneson: Looks very cosy, thank you
chris107: "Angus, you say we must be off at the crack of dawn in search of this sword of yours?"
Smon: Oriana sighs sadly. "When I was a girl we went on a pilgramage to the Temple-Tomb of Belaras - twice! And I've been south of course..." She shudders at the memory. "As a captive." Hotar stands. "Milady, I'll be heading back to Ghutaris now."
Smon: Hotar glances over to Hakeem. "If you come south, be welcome at my Hall ...strangers."
chris107: "Hotar, perhaps you could show me where the privy is?"
chris107: "On your way out..."
Sandor Sunneson: Oriana, can you show me the wine stores please
Smon: Hotar nods. "aye, this way..."
chris107: "And yes. Thank you."
Sandor Sunneson: I'd be interested to see howw it is kept
chris107: Hakeem whispers his lines from above.
Smon: Oriana smiles at Dagda. "Certainly - we have a cellar, I'm afraid the stock is low at present - the bandits drank it all you see..."
chris107: "Our location must not become known. I remember your bravery and hope I can trust you again?"
Smon: Oriana leads Dagda over to stairs & down to the cellar, Aulus following, while Hotar & Hakeem talk outside.
Sandor Sunneson: be interesting to see this, lead the way (leaving H and H chatting)
Smon: Hotar nods. "Aye of course my lord."
Smon: Down in the cellar Oriana lights a torch, illuminating rows of dusty empty racks and amphorae, along with a few full bottles.
chris107: "Thank you Hotar. I won't forget this."
Smon: Hotar glances around, checking you're unobserved. "Anything I should know?"
Smon: Oriana: "This used to be a magnificent collection, *sigh*..."
chris107: "Crowfinger has put a huge price on my head and I need to be out of sight for a while."
Sandor Sunneson: Dark and dusky, good place for storage, no ventilation either, with our barley product, we store it more at ground level,
chris107: "To plan my battle with the War Bringer come the end of the rainy season."
Sandor Sunneson: Don't worry, one day, with hard work and toil, you will bring it to life again
Smon: Hotar nods. "My lord, if you get a chance perhaps you should speak to my woman - an Oriax girl. She has been speaking like the Psychic Defenders do when they inhale the purple smokes..."
Smon: "I fear there may be truth in her words."
Smon: Oriana nods, leading Dagda down between the narrow racks,
Sandor Sunneson: I can see your frustration, but you have a natural charm that people can relate too and you can suceed
chris107: "I have heard her words from many lips. I will come in the morning. How do we find you?"
Smon: Oriana smiles: "My father Alcibiades was a great lord - and a great connoisseur."
Smon: Dagda notices the Lady is pressed rather closely against him between the narrow racks.
Sandor Sunneson: Think of him, he sounds like he made a lasting impression on you, positive thoughts and attutude can =go a long way
chris107: Ghutaris is about a half day away?
Sandor Sunneson: You smell nice lady,
Smon: Hotar: "South - Ghutaris, the Hall. I hold it with my sister, Isis."
Smon: Oriana: "I do, why thank you? A little perfume, from Ahyf..."
chris107: "We shall be at your halls on the morrow."
Smon: Dagda can try another CHA check
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 20,
Smon: LOL
chris107: Another Ray!
Sandor Sunneson: lol, wish Sandor got that on his hit roll
chris107: Rey
Smon: Oriana looks down, blushing, then up, doe eyed - definitely pressing in on him now..."
Sandor Sunneson: Who Rey?
Smon: Hotar: "Should we go rescue your man, Lord Hakeem? Oriana has a hungry appetite."
chris107: (Another of the original PC's. Played by Amalric from the Redstar game)
Smon: Oriana raises her lips to kiss Dagda...
Sandor Sunneson: I've never been in such a situation in a wine cellar before,
chris107: "I think he will be fine." Hakeem grins, bid Hotar good night and goes in search of a blanket.
Sandor Sunneson: Dagda, will kiss her
Sandor Sunneson: I've been hoping that would happen all day,
Smon: Hotar grins back, nods. "As you will." He heads for the open gate, wolf-whistling a happy barbarian tune about sundering skulls.
chris107: This prophesy needs exploring. Sooner rather than later.
Sandor Sunneson: I could see you were quite tense,
chris107: Hakeem thinks it has something to do with Dyson and the first King of Nera.
Smon: Re-entering the hall, Hakeem sees Aulus emerging from the cellar, a little dusty, closing the door behind him.
Smon: Aulus: "Ah, blankets, right?"
Sandor Sunneson: Angus will please the lady as she wishes
Smon: Oriana responds passionately to Dagda's kiss, slipping out of her robes for some rather dusty lovemaking on the cellar floor...
Smon: Apparently she keeps furs down there too, who knew?
Smon: In the morning...
chris107: "Thank you Aulus. Blankets would be great. An early night for me."
Sandor Sunneson: Angus will appear at breakfast#
Smon: 30/1/47 Next morning Hakeem rises at the crack of dawn.
Sandor Sunneson: Morning Brian !
chris107: Can he scrounge up trail rations for the day?
chris107: "Morning Angus."
Smon: Angus awakens groggily in the wine cellar - a lot of wine was drunk along with a lot of nookie, empty bottles scattered about.
Smon: Thegn Oriana lies naked in her furs, still sleeping. Make a DC 15 CON save Dagda/Angus.
chris107: Make tracks to Ghutaris?
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 18,
Sandor Sunneson: yes
Smon: Dagda's iron constitution shrugs off the excessive consumption!
Sandor Sunneson: high rolls in fights too please
Smon: Still slightly unsteady, he heads up the stairs, out of the cellar and greets Hakeem.
Sandor Sunneson: On we go my friend
Smon: Aulus is laying a table for breakfast in the Hall.
chris107: "Thanks Aulus, may we take the left overs for the road?"
Smon: "Aye, as you will."
Smon: No sign of Oriana waking up as you take breakfast and pack your rations.
Sandor Sunneson: Please thank the Thegn for the lovely evening
Smon: Aulus cracks a grin. "Aye."
chris107: "Aye, please do..."
Sandor Sunneson: Hopefully we will meet again, she will make a success of this place
Smon: /roll d8
Smon rolls 1d8 and gets: 1,
Smon: Outside the rain is pouring down, drumming on the Hall roof, turning the road to mud.
Sandor Sunneson: ?
Smon: Aulus: "Nice weather for cats."
chris107: Ghutaris bound..
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you for your kind hospitality Aulus, see you around
chris107: "Aye but we won't melt. Thank you for looking after us."
Smon: Aulus smiles. "Farewell, friends." GM: You head out into the rain, heading for Ghutaris.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
Smon: You're a bit over an hour south of Kalmisj when you see a grey-robed party of men and women approaching - looks like pilgrims.
Sandor Sunneson: Angus and Brian mode Chris?
chris107: H pulls his cloak tight around him.
chris107: Yup, if we need to.
Smon: "Omm... Ommm...." they chant, striding forward with their staves swinging.
Sandor Sunneson: cool
chris107: Barbarian senses atingle for danger.
Sandor Sunneson: how many?
Smon: The leader, a bushy-bearded man, nods to you as they pass, not stopping. 12 of them.
chris107: Do we recognise their devotions?
Sandor Sunneson: approx ? 10? 20?
Smon: They have water/earth/wind/fire emblems on pendants.
Sandor Sunneson: wis check?
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 14,
Smon: int
Smon: Elementalists!
chris107 rolls 1d20 and gets: 7,
Sandor Sunneson: ONT 11
Sandor Sunneson: INT 11
Smon: Probably they visited the holy Citadel of Water and are now heading north to the Sky God Idol.
Sandor Sunneson: Lets move on?
Smon: The pilgrims pass you, and you head on.
chris107: "Let's pass by peacefully"
Smon: A couple hours later through the pouring rain you see Ghutaris ahead.
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 2,
Smon: A leather-armoured guard at the gate bids you enter, escorting you to the Lord's Hall, slightly larger than the last one.
chris107: Seeking Hotar
Smon: Inside out of the rain you see in the Hall Hotar lounging on a heavy throne. A shapely woman naked but for eye-glasses sprawls at his feet on silk cushions, while a redhead barbarian girl is practicing throwing knives at a straw dummy.
Smon: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9_uGvwcEPsGP_WaJKuua2Q4Tpi8SukmWFGNGuppfCSMwfPWQM8grod6gG58QUICoCsAaoK36F3BJ7e5ffRPjIcagaeiKyKYM_9CBFJknkegzc_2y-48Lqm82SIIDY5ExGVjCTe4HVYhM/s400/00c4f393f50b5ec89789768183f1ba17.jpg

chris107: Dr. Rosa
Smon: Hotar looks up from criticising Isis' throwing techniques. "Friends! Welcome! Woman, fetch beer and meat for our guests!"
Smon: The naked woman gets to her feet and saunters off, leaving the book she was reading lying at the foot of the throne.
Smon: Hotar: "Come in, seat yourself by my fire. Gods, I hate this weather, eh?"
Smon: He seems a lot more cheerful than last night.
chris107: "Thank you my friend. I trust we can seak freely here?"
Smon: Isis looks up from throwing the daggers. "Eh... hello there you two."
Sandor Sunneson: You seem happier here ? That is good to see
Smon: Hotar nods to Hakeem. "Aye, Isis - you recognise Lord Hakeem." She nods. "Of course." Isis bows. "I called for you at the Clan Moot."
Smon: Hotar looks to Dagda. "Aye, well... Oriana can set me on edge, a little."
chris107: "Then I am in your debt Isis."
Sandor Sunneson: Good for you tyou are more at ease in this abode
Smon: Isis smiles: "No debt my lord. We needed a strong leader. With you we have crushed Yusan and saved these people."
Smon: The naked concubine returns bearing a heaped platter of meat, bread, and a huge flagon of foaming beer.
chris107: "We will make the vale and all these lands about a place for good folks to thrive."
Smon: Hotar: "Better victuals than Oriana's hall!" He tears off a big chunk of beef.
Smon: Hotar: "Oriana desires a husband... I do not desire to wed."
chris107: Hakeem enjoys the rough feast.
Smon: The woman with the glasse serves you, then stands there.
Smon: Hotar: "This is Dr Rosa, the one who 'babbles'..."
Smon: Isis: "Not this again, Hotar?"
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you,
Smon: She rolls her eyes.
chris107: "So tell me of these prophesy? It is not the first time I have heard these words."
Smon: Hotar: "Dr Piercemuller - Rosa - can tell it better than I. She has been reading, a book from the Citadel Lord Tug lent her."
chris107: "Which book is this?"
Smon: The naked concubine nods. "Yes that's right. A History of the Dragon Lords... Almost all mere conjecture, I fear, but snippets of good info..." She adjusts her glasses.
Smon: Hotar is looking her up and down, enjoying the sight of his woman as she talks on. "You're familiar with the history of ancient Oricha? The Dragon Kings? The legend of Bondorr?"
chris107: "I know my lord Bondorr became a God."
chris107: "But much past that is lost in our stories."
Smon: Rosa: "Yes, of course. There has been at least one more Bondorr since - an Avatar, or perhaps just a Man wearing the armour, wielding the Sword... He destroyed the Second Empire - the Doomfire Empire - after the Rain of Colourless Fire that burned the Dragonborn cities."
chris107: (OOC - Listned to War of the Worlds earlier. I think Hassan should be known as the Thunderchild.)
Smon: "That would have been approximately two millenia ago, according to the Obelisk of Balizkonar."
Smon:
chris107: Hakeem listens entranced..
Smon: (do better than HMS Thunderchild!)
chris107: (Lets hope so, but just as brave!)
Smon: "The Doomfire empire were human at first, I think, but with the blood of the Orichalan dragon lords... later they seem to have become infected with Infernal taint... But that concerns us not."
chris107: "Tell me all you know lady."
Smon: (yeah I love the Thunderchild bit of WotW)
Smon: Rosa's glasses seem to be misting up as she becomes quite excited.
chris107: hehe
Smon: "I believe the Ghinoran city Thracia was built over an ancient city of the Dragon Lords!"
chris107: "I have been there..."
Smon: Hotar munches away, listening avidly. Isis yawns ostentatiously.
Smon: Rosa's eyes widen. "You've seen the deep caverns?!"
chris107: "I have, and spoken with the sphinx."
Smon: Rosa nods: "A sphinx - of course! Well we know Thracia was established ca 150 BCCC, in the aftermath of the fall of the original Orichalan Dragon Empire (ca -2900 to -575 BCCC) and subsequent Rise of Ghinor (-450 to 350 BCCC)...."
chris107: Ontussa
Smon: She has an amazing ability to speak parentheses.

Sandor Sunneson: That's along time ago
Smon: "We know the Ghinorans dwell deep, and that they enslaved humanoids - the Beastmen. But I believe there is an even older Orichalan city, from the First Empire, far beneath the ruins. And that something down there is stirring. I have been having strange dreams..."
Smon: Isis: "Tell me about it." /sarcasm
chris107: "Lasword and armour of Bondorr were to be reunited. That a third coming of mighty Bondorr be possible?dy, could it be possible,after two milennia. If the
chris107: Hmmm that did not type well
Smon: Rosa glances annoyedly at Isis, then goes on. "Yes, my lord - Lord Hakeem?"
chris107: I'll try type that again
Smon: "That is certainly possible. If evil is stirring, then naturally its ancient enemy would rise to meet it once more..."
chris107: My lady, could it be possible that after two milennia and with the sword and armour etc.
chris107: This 'First King'
Smon: Isis: "Evil is stirring - the Black Sun!" Rosa shakes her head.
Sandor Sunneson: (no doubt it will be evil stirring, why can't it be a lost world of cooks, waiting to bring their freshly baked loaves to share with the people of the wilderlands world)
Smon: Rosa: "It's more than that - I can feel it! And if you bothered to read the books..."
chris107: (Heroes will be made this way Sandor)
Sandor Sunneson: This is a big blood bath waiting to happen Lord Hakeem, when the rain stops the blood will flow
Smon: Isis glares at Rosa, fingering her throwing dagger meaningfully.
Smon: Hotar: "We must defeat the Black Sun - but we can't afford to be caught between two fronts."
chris107: "Pray, tell us Rosa."
chris107: "I feel this is VERY important."
Smon: Rosa nods to Hakeem: "You understand - the Black Sun are powerful, and evil, but they are essentially a human threat. Even the Warbringer is half human. But what I felt..."
chris107: Hakeem listens intently.
chris107: Breathing heavily
chris107: sweat beading on his brow.
Smon: She gulps, paling slightly and quivering (which Hotar likes). "The First King... I think it must be the First King of the Dragon Lords - the greatest of them all!"
Smon: Hotar: "I have seen snakes, making their way north - towards Thracia."
chris107: "The First King of the Dragon Lords?"
chris107: "He who fell to the first Bondorr?"
Sandor Sunneson: As in slithering towards the city?Like being attracted to a magnet?
Smon: Rosa: "Yes - there are no real records of that time, as far as I can tell. Just something called the War of the Pious and the Philosophers - the Pious won... and old Altanian legends of escaping Dragonlord bondage under Bondor's tutelage."
Smon: Hotar nods to Dagda. "Yes."
chris107: Hakeem stands throwing off his dirty cloak and furs.
chris107: He draws the mighty blade from it's simple sheath.
Smon: Rosa: "But I did find a reference that the Dragonborn master-smith Shieldbiter forged a blade that could pierce the scales of the Dragon King..." She gasps as Hakeem draws the Sword!
Smon: Rosa: "The... the..."
Smon: Hotar: "Bondorr!"
Smon: Isis crosses her arms, nods. "So you reforged it, Lord Hakeem?"
chris107: "Sword and armour both. Reunited after two thousand years."
Smon: Hotar grins: "A great omen!"
chris107: He grins sheepishly at Isis..
Smon: Rosa looks quite flushed. "My..."
Smon: She looks about to faint.
Sandor Sunneson: Dagda will catch her
chris107: "Dagda my friend. It seems your arrival has been timely. You stand on the edge of momentus events."
Smon: GM: Make a DEX+prof check Dagda.
Sandor Sunneson: I do, from entransed snakes to rivers of blood
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 18,
chris107: nice rolling tonight Fergus!
Smon: Dagda lunges from his chair as Rosa faints - he grabs the naked beauty before she can hit the floor.
Smon: Isis: "Yeah, she does that sometimes, too."
Sandor Sunneson: It's ok Rosa, think you need a lie down
Smon: Hotar nods: "Thanks, my friend."
Sandor Sunneson: not when it matters lol
Smon: Dagda can take Rosa to the nearby cushions.
Smon: Her eyes flutter open as he sets her down. "Th-thank you..." Hotar grins: "I think the wench likes you, friend."
Sandor Sunneson: Should I place her on the cushions Hotar?
Smon: he nods
chris107: "Do we have time to destroy the War Bringer, scatter the forces of the Black Sun and still delve into Thracia to defy this First King?"
Sandor Sunneson: He#ll place her on the cushions and ask one of the slaves to fetch her some water
chris107: (Been an Exalted Champion is hard work!)
Smon: Hotar shrugs: "There was a Council, aye? Lord Tug has not yet returned with the news - what was agreed?" An old woman servant nods to Dagda and goes for water. Rosa holds on to Dagda quite tightly, looking into his eyes. "You... In my dreams..."
Sandor Sunneson: You could get Hakeem to get a tardus or a delorian time travel car
Smon: "...You were there, with Bondorr against the First King..."
Smon: OOC You think Hakeem will go back in time to become the First Bondorr, creating a temporal loop?
Sandor Sunneson: Dagda will listen
chris107: "It was decided that when the rains stop then our united forces shall do war upon the Black Sun at Madcap Mountain. And I shall battle the War Bringer."
Smon: Rosa: "The Tharbrian Prince..."
chris107: (That would be pretty darn cool and an epic campaign twist! )
Sandor Sunneson: I am of that place Rosa, but not of Royalty
Sandor Sunneson: Would Hakeem have a tardus or delorian car? Or perhaps the one from HG Wells time machine
Smon: Rosa stares at Dagda. "No, it was definitely you! You - you have to let me come with you! I can help you..."
chris107: "Is there any hint within the books, visions or prophesies that say when the First King will rise?"
Sandor Sunneson: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hg+wells+time+machine&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjMruHfxcXTAhVlJcAKHdKVAtsQ_AUICigB&biw=1536&bih=747&dpr=1.25#imgrc=5eNe67lMKi0paM:&spf=16
chris107: "Or could the Drakness that he will rise from refer to the Black Sun?"
Sandor Sunneson: Hakeem would look good on that seat
Smon: Hotar: "So we have two months before the final war with the Black Sun..."
chris107:
Sandor Sunneson: Dagda will go with Rosa
Sandor Sunneson: (when we played years ago with Simon, he introduced HG Wells as a non PC)
chris107: "It would seem so. I thought I came south to seek a refuge for my son. It would seem fate has other plans!"
Smon: Rosa reclines back on the cushions. She reaches for the ancient book, flicking through it. "Yes, you see here - 'When the Sun turns Black'... the monk who annotated this suggested it meant an Eclipse, but..."
chris107: (Very cool! )
Smon: (ah, memories Fergus)
Sandor Sunneson: Think he died at New York harbour or something??
chris107: "Is there any mention of the Three Sword Isles? I felt so sure...." He trails off.
Smon: "When the Sun Turns Black, When the Seas Run Red... the First King Will Rise Again"
Sandor Sunneson: So we have to prevent the sun from turnning black
Smon: Rosa shakes her head. "No.. Just this bit about the Three Fiery Blades that Bondorr gave to his peers, that they might face the Dragon Lords together. One to Prince Ghinor, one to the Tharbrian Prince, one to the Son of Shieldbiter."
chris107: "The son of Shieldbiter!"
chris107: "Could that be our Prince Shieldbiter?"
Sandor Sunneson: Sounds like it?
chris107: "The Tharbrian Prince, Dagda?"
Smon: Rosa: "Yes? Shielbiter, the Dragonborn smith who forged the Sword of Bondorr, the only weapon that could slay the First King... But the Fire Blades could certainly hurt him!"
Sandor Sunneson: Rosa, I am startled to think I am of Royal descent
chris107: "And Lord Thuruar cast as Prince Ghinor?"
Sandor Sunneson: Where are these blades now?
chris107: "Then we must retreive these fiery blades!"
chris107: "My vision was not false."
Smon: Rosa looks at Dagda: "Well, I'm just going by this book... this text dates from the Nerath Empire, thousands of years after the time of Bondorr..."
chris107: "Why Three Swords Isle my friend!"
Sandor Sunneson: Of course
Smon: Hotar grins: "Glad to be of use, my Lords."
chris107: Hakeem is in very high spirits!
Sandor Sunneson: Tis where we head
Smon: Rosa: "There's a lot more in the book, it's very hard to read. You'll need me to come with you as I said..."
Smon: Hotar frowns.
chris107: "Hotar! Isis! Rosa! We will not forget this service!"
Sandor Sunneson: Rosa, thank you for this,
Sandor Sunneson: Seeing you entransed like that, so entransing to see
Sandor Sunneson: Do we set off in the morning for the Three Swords Isle?
chris107: "I think this deserves a keg of als Hotar?"
Smon: Dr Piecemuller looks at Dagda and blushes at the compliment, smiling.
chris107: ale
Smon: Hotar: "aye! Rosa,fetch a second keg!"
Smon: Rosa sighs, gets to her feet and heads for the buttery.
chris107: (Masterfuly done Simon!)
Smon: Once she's gone, Hotar frowns and turns to Dagda. "I don't suppose you'll offer me a good price for her?"
chris107: Hakeems purpose is now set. heaven help Black Sun, War Bringer or First King!
Smon: Isis: "She's not worth a good price!"
Sandor Sunneson: Got the world to save,
chris107: "Hotar, how does a title and lands sound as a price?"
Sandor Sunneson: You would be an excellent ally Hotar, or are an excellent ally
chris107: "When these lands are free of the menace of the Black Sun we will be in need of true Lords!"
Smon: Hotar smiles: "As you wish, Lord Hakeem. What - Lord Hotar of Ghutaris?"
Sandor Sunneson: Duke?
chris107: "I think I can swing that." He grins at his old battle friend. "Why they made Rey a King, who knows what we can do for you and Isis?!"
Smon: Hotar shakes his head ruefully, then nods and grins. "Friend Tharbrian, I gift you my concubine, the slave Dr Rosa Piercemuller. Take good care of her."
Smon: Rosa returns, staggering slightly with the weight of the heavy ale keg she now carries.
Sandor Sunneson: Thank you, you would be an excellent ally to have in battle
chris107: "Come then Prince of Tharbria! We have a war to win!"
Smon: Isis grins: "*whew*. Good news Rosa - you're out of my hair at last!"
Smon: Hotar pours you all great flagons of ale and toasts you: "Here's to you, my Lords - and to Victory!"
Smon: OOC fair place to stop?
Sandor Sunneson: I would love to see you swing that axe on the torso of your enemies, would be some sight
Sandor Sunneson: Ja,
chris107: "VICTORY!" Hakeem gulps down the fine frothy ale in one.
chris107: Very fair indeed Simon
chris107: We have moved along a pace tonight.
Smon: OOC dates - is it worth doing Hakeem solo on Saturday?
chris107: Thanks Fergus, Simon
Sandor Sunneson: I'm away but you 2, play away
Smon: Bill was asking if you can play Tuesday?
Sandor Sunneson: I'm back Monday afternoon

Sandor Sunneson: Thurs should be yes, ok sounds like a good plan,

Sandor Sunneson: well brought in Simon!
Sandor Sunneson: Looking forward to seeing HG Wells appear

Linda is now seeking a way back to her home in Edwardian London, England in the year 1910, where she was housemaid & assistant to the eccentric scientist Professor Hugo Potsmeyer before an accident with the Transdimensional Interface Loop Inductor (TILI).
