Just 300 Xp to get the ball rolling.
Things to do 1) Actually be ready to go at the start of next session
2) Ask questions to Brightsoul
3) Find out about the sword
If you choose to ask any other questions and or do anything that relates to the Dinner or Funeral please use the Dark Summer thread. Anything that you do, talk about etc. from this point on goes here.
-
I cast Legend Lore, review the spell and let me know what I get.
-
I continue to feed Brightsoul carrots, apples, sugar cubes, oats, and whatever else he may need. "Brightsoul, are you able to feel Ajax's presence or has your bond to him been cut off? If you can, is he badly harmed? Also, would you be able to describe your covert mission objectives? I do not wish to put you in jeopardy if that information is too delicate, so don't feel obligated to share, but I would like to help in any way I can. Before you were assaulted, do you recall hearing or seeing anything regarding Leon or the two keyblades that unlock the Gemblade? Did your assailants mention the name "Battle" or refer to the Gemblade by name? Once you recover from your wounds, we would be happy to help locate Ajax. Would you be willing to aid us in finding Leon and the keyblades? I have no doubt they are directly related.
On a side note, I'd like to continue to donate vast quantities of food and drink to the women and children left behind. This, of course, applies only to the time before we actually leave. If it's only a day, then I get up extra early and bring over the supplies with the badger's help if he's willing.
Also before we leave, I go to a fortified location within the area like a Temple or military barracks and contact Emelda with the sending stone. I also check "status" to see how she's recovering from the psionic attack. I check on the kids too.

Brightsoul eats an apple and a sugar cube and thanks you through Ari. He also comments "You enjoy quite the life of leisure here Astrek." earning a hiss in response.
"I know that we came here to find the new king and ensure that he is acknowledged by those in power as the true heir. As for the secret nature of our entry I only know a little. As far as I know Aesculos is unique among my lord's paladins as he has access to mighty powers of light beyond those available to other paladins. When we left Pacyr to go to the aid of King Roflander in the frost giant kingdom he had access to all of his powers but after the defeat of the frost cults we learned of the King's death and tried to travel here across the fields of the realm of the Bright Sword, the realm of my lord on Celestia, which is a beautiful place, you should visit if you can, but he found that he could not open the Gate. We rode towards Port Springs with all speed, which is quite fast, and on the fourth night Lady Electra, my lord's celestial messenger, arrived and set before us a Light, which is an Aasmion, who guided us both below ground and above, on hidden paths that we would not have found on our own. I suspect he was a dwarf in life on this world. We reached Port Springs, which is an impressive city, and began to search for passage. There we met the Orcs who were on their way here to join the war. I detest travel at sea, as does Aesculos, as do most Orcs or so I understand, and the voyage was unpleasant. I don't know what happened on the dock, I was forced to wait with the ordinary horses, though I mean no disrespect to them as they seemed fine war horses and they acquitted themselves well when I led them in the charge through the troops. Rarely has Aesculos sent me from his side and I was loathe to leave him but he has always made clear the importance of the sword. I found my way here but the high cleric seemed to have a great deal on his mind and did not think to speak with me as you wisely have." He then drinks some water. "Where was I? Oh yes, your other questions. Aesculos is either too far away or in a magic place that prevents me from feeling his presence. He is still alive, for I would return to the Mount if he were slain. I know nothing of swords other than the Kingmaker, I am sorry."
-
A clarification: At some point I think I referred to Sir Bartholomew Grace, the Captain of the Knights of the White Sword in Icefia, as a paladin of Stasis. He is a paladin of Hemator.
-
The food is greatly appreciated.
All is well with your family.
-
Rarely has Aesculos sent me from his side and I was loathe to leave him but he has always made clear the importance of the sword.
"Please forgive me for asking Brightsoul, but why did Aesculos find it necessary to leave your side? How is it that you managed to make it out of the scuffle with The Kingmaker alive? Were you followed here? I imagine a creature of your grandeur would be able to detect evil beings nearby. Drow attacks have been reported in the area."
-
"Aesculos clearly saw that he was being overwhelmed and as I said has always emphasized the importance of the sword. As for my escape, most creatures do not expect dumb animals to break free if they are not in danger and certainly they do not expect a coordinated plan. We took them by surprise." He drinks some more water. "As for drow, I detest drow as they are dishonorable, cowardly, villians. Aesculos, who also detests them, as do all creatures with good sense, and I have fought them before so I know their smell too well. They sprang at us from the shadows, as drow are want to do, trying to kill the cleric but take me alive. Even with the element of surprise they could not bring us both low as the cleric is a capable warrior and most of their darts had no effect on me, protected as I am by my celestial nature."
-
"Perhaps there is someone we can trust in the city with tracking down this paladin while we go after Leon. A skilled group of investigators that knows the city..."
-

Robyn says: "The Sergeant did say the Second Deputy would most likely take an interest. How would we explain this to him without revealing the paladin's quest?"
-
Asinjin's spell reveals that the sword was forged on Mount Celestia by one of Stasis' celestial servants, it has the power to lead the wielder to noble, just, would be rulers and bestows on the chosen a blessing. It is not a potent weapon for battle but it is very well made, almost over built.
-
Asinjin asks Brightsoul: "Where do you want the sword kept while your master is prisoner?" And strangely, I introduce myself to the horse, "Let me be more polite, I am Asinjin, sculpture and diviner. Rest assured that I will find your master as soon as I am able."

"A pleasure to meet you Asinjin. Thank you for any help you can give. I would prefer not to be too far from the sword as my master charged me with its safe keeping but I have enough horse sense to know that I cannot defend it against another such attack. Is there a safe place we can take it? Do you have a magic bag where you can keep it with you?"
-
"I do not, but Rubius does."
-
The young cleric Marcus, who is now armed with a sword and has a breastplate on beneath his robes, arrives and says : "Both the first and second deputy constables have come. There is a great company of constables with them. The first deputy has asked to speak with Lord Arishimoto."
Brightsoul says "Lord? I beg your pardon Lord
Arishimoto for my lack of decorum. (Turning to Astrek) I suppose you were just going to sit there as I made a fool of my self? Humph."
-
"I do not, but Rubius does."
Asinjin is correct Brightsoul. I'd be happy to look over the sword on your behalf until you can locate and rescue Aesculos.
-
"Perhaps I missed this, but did Ajax know who it was that the sword was searching for?"
-
"Perhaps I missed this, but did Ajax know who it was that the sword was searching for?"
"Do you mean the name of the person who is the true heir? No."
-
I suspect that regardless of whether we begin our search for Battle/Leon or Aesculos, we will end up at the same place. These events cannot be a coincidence.
That said, our first obligation is to recover Battle. It seems that we should be able to do so quickly, and can start the search for Aesculos when we return if he is not being kept with Leon.
Perhaps it is best to leave the Kingmaker here in the Temple, no sense exposing it to unnecessary risk by bringing it with us.

Thank you Brightsoul, but just 'Ari' will suffice. How much would you like us to tell the first deputy about your intentions in Icefia? The more they know, the more likely they will be to find your master, but it also puts your quest at risk. The first deputy is a noble man, I believe you can speak to him in confidence if you so choose.

"Oh no Lord Ari, I would never embarrass myself or my master by not according you the proper respect.
I don't know what Aesculos would do about the constables. He is not usually very subtle but from what little he told me the existence of the heir is a great secret. He was going to Messada to speak with the Steward. "
-
A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed. Brightsoul!
-
If there are no more questions for Brightsoul I will move on this evening. Remember you must be ready to head out at the start of next session.
-
What does Brightsoul do while we're on our mission? To the rest of the group: how many people are teleporting with us? I strongly suggest we try to convince a few people to travel in my bag of holding. We need to get supplies for the trip such as all weather cloaks, healing potions, and magical and mundane ways of picking locks and traps. Also, we need to form a strategy on how to collect the sword and rescue Leon. Do we know enough about "Battle" to know if it will allow us to handle it or will it resist out attempts at liberation?
-
I can cast Legend Lore to learn about Battle (since I have held it before, as with the discern location, I can do that).
"Right now, only 6 are going. More can return, but since I can Teleport back, as opposed to Greater Teleport, that is not an issue. I will not go into the bag. Do you know how stable it is? For note, my belt is a dimensional space as well, so it should not go into the bag unless you are certain of its stability."

It is of the finest quality and stability. It can hold 3000 pounds and can support a livable environment. I have carried people, animals, and supplies both magical and mundane in this bag. I would not force anyone to travel inside of course, but it is most capable of handling our needs.

To use the shortest casting time you need the item at hand. Otherwise it's 1d10 days.

Brightsoul says "I will remain here. The high cleric will alert the Steward of the situation tomorrow."
-
...We need to get supplies for the trip such as all weather cloaks, healing potions, and magical and mundane ways of picking locks and traps.
Parker chuckles. "My good halfling, I have re-written both the past and the future with my ability to escape the most nefarious of situations. I am all the 'ways of picking locks and traps' we will need." he pauses a minute. "Have you really not heard of me? I think I might be offended by that. As for the rest, rest assured that we have the coina nd contacts to get just about anything we will need."

"Marcus, meet Brightsoul, mighty steed of Aescolos Thanos, paladin of Stasis and bearer of his light." I fill Marcus in on everything Brightsoul told us. "I will leave the amount of detail provided to the first constable up to you regarding Aescolos' purpose here in Icefia."

Do you tell Marcus about the true heir? Do you tell him his name if you do? You have not told Brightsoul his name and Marcus was not present during that part of the conversation.
(and he politely corrects you: "Servant of his light, Lord Ari.)

I only tell Marcus that Ajax was seeking the "true heir", I am not sure who exactly that is. Marcus have any thoughts?

Parker will also take some time to research some spells that might be helpful at the college.

Are you no longer planning on leaving in the morning?
-
When you return to the temple hall you find Brentan Firepeak, the first deputy of the city, and Udarin Thate, the second deputy. They are accompanied by twenty constables, all with armor and weapons of their choice. Brentan has a black sash over his sword belt and a round shield at his side. He looks grim and looks at Parker and your entourage with narrowed eyes. Udarin has a short sword, more delicate than Brentan's heavy, gladius style, blade. He also has two wands and riding boots. He seems happier to see you.
Brentan begins: "Greetings Lord Arishimoto, it is well that you are here; there are drow about. Never in my life would I have believed it; wugs and now drow within sighting distance of Phiam! These are dark times indeed. Your retinue (by which he clearly means the rest of you) are welcome to go on the hunt with us as well, though I must warn you, I sent word to Grimdrek Sledgehammer of the attack and he means to meet us with twenty five of his elite guards at the site of the attack."
-
"Deputy Brentan, I can only speak for myself, but I would be more than happy to help you hunt the drow. Assuming it is only for the night."
-
Are you no longer planning on leaving in the morning?
Yes, Still leaving in the morning. Parker had a permanent Teleport circle to the college installed before the drag.... scary flying lizard attack. And, Parker only needs 2 hrs of sleep. That should be plenty of time to go to the college, research the Tremmorsense spell and get back. If not, then he will brainstorm with Asinjin on what spells they may need that are not already in their arsenal and go buy scrolls.
-
"Deputy Brentan, I can only speak for myself, but I would be more than happy to help you hunt the drow. Assuming it is only for the night."
"Hmmm, I think it will take us all night just to get to the spot where the attack happened. Do you have some pressing business elsewhere?"
-

I will have to defer to the players with wizard characters. I thought it was an hour per spell level to learn a new spell?
-
It is 8 hours regardless of spell level.
-
I wasn't going to take the time to learn it tonight. I was going to research spells that would help us and then buy scrolls. Then I/we could scribe them into my/our spellbooks at our leisure...or you know, use the scrolls.
-

Buying scrolls is easier said than done except for the most common spells. You only know of one source for uncommon spells in Phiam: Cicero. The college has common spells at discounted prices for professors, though you are expected to make up the difference by contributing in some way. For anything else you would have to go to Cape Tolya.
-
"If we can find a wizard that has the spell who is friendly to us, I can prepare it from his spellbook with little difficulty. Parker, why do you think it necessary?"
-
What time is it?
-
What time is it?
Assuming you have been there half an hour about 930pm
-
"Deputy, do you have any idea how long this expedition will take?"
-
"Deputy, do you have any idea how long this expedition will take?"
Brentan says "The high cleric says he was about ten miles outside the city on the High road when he was attacked. It will take us about five hours to march there, a bit more as its dark. After that I suppose it depends on what we find."
-
To Parker, Rubius, Ari, etc. "That is too long a trip for me. By then, many of my spells for the day will have expired, in addition to having exhausted..." cough "my best spells for today already. It will also put us behind the Hebablam for tomorrow's efforts."
"However, if we could get there faster, we may be able to do it. My Phantom Steed will get us there in half an hour, but it only carry myself and one other. We would need a few more of them and directions."
Back to Brentan, "can the high cleric give us very specific directions or location."
Again back to Ari, "We should only need to get relatively close for you to be able to find them, especially if there are more than a few."
-
Asinjin, if you travel to their aid, I will not let you go by yourself, especially in your exhausted state. You have my help, such that it is. I cannot shake the feeling that this is a distraction or possibly a trap to prevent us from rescuing Leon and Battle, but I won't let the Constable's men suffer needlessly. I am ready to leave when you are.
-
"If we can find a wizard that has the spell who is friendly to us, I can prepare it from his spellbook with little difficulty. Parker, why do you think it necessary?"
"I think wantonly tromping into an unknown area filled with formidable foes unprepared is a mistake. One we tend to make all too often."
-
The high cleric says: "I have exhausted most of my prayers. I will need to wait until morning if you need exact guidance."
-
"With Ari's ability, we should only need within a quarter mile of where it happened."
-
In regards to the mundane equipment you are preparing please post an exact list of anything out of the ordinary you are taking. VJ gathers torches, two lanterns, 8 flasks of oil, a mirror, 100 feet of good rope, a grapple, chalk, pitons, a hammer, rations, blankets and warm clothes for 12.
-
"With Ari's ability, we should only need within a quarter mile of where it happened."
"Within a half a mile would suffice, but I doubt the drow would remain near the area of the attack once their target left."
I use a sending to contact Nisoru: "Aescolos Thanos was abducted immediately upon arrival in Phiam. Brightsoul escaped with the Kingmaker and is at the Temple here. I fear their safety."
-

I use a sending to contact Nisoru: "Aescolos Thanos was abducted immediately upon arrival in Phiam. Brightsoul escaped with the Kingmaker and is at the Temple here. I fear their safety."
No response to the sending.
Brentan appears very distressed at the lack of enthusiasm for the task. "I cannot sit idly by while drow attack travelers within sight of my city. If you can aid us tomorrow it would be a great help. For now we have a long march ahead.". With that the constables muster out of the temple and march into the night.
-
Asinjin says to his friends, not the others gathered, "I think we should go out and search the area. I doubt we find anything, but it may save these men if we do."
-
No offense to this Ascalos Thermos Bearer if Stasis's Cup and Wearer of his Frilly Undergarments, but we have slightly bigger fish to fry. Namely, recovering the one item necessary to open up His Shineyness's uber-vault. And the key's bearer too, of course. And I'd wager that when we find the it and its bearer, we'll find our wayward paladin.
We know where to look for the item and person we were asked to seek. We get in, get it, get out, and then help in the search of Eskimos Thermos.
-
Asinjin chuckles...which then causes him to cough.

Parker doesn't know Ajax from a hole in the wall. By Parkers way of thinking, he has a chance to go down in history as the person who "made a King" by recovering Battle and opening the Vault. Now, some paladin, who Parker may or may not have heard of, rolls into town whom others have dubbed "the Kingmaker" seems to be out to steal his thunder. Parker, who doesn't think highly of goody-two-shoes types anyway, would, of course, mock him. ;D

By the end of the night tomorrow: a list of stuff you take and a decision on your next move. No debate will be entertained in session. (Sutyrian whip crack)
-
A list of stuff, we need mundane mining and spelunking items.
Asinjin collects the following:
2 torches
3 flasks oil
1 wine skin
2 water skins
1 flint & steel
2 chalk
Someone find us a donkey.

If there is enough time, Parker will go or send VJ to Padra's. The big Items on the list is Antitoxin. and a few Tanglefoot bags, Achemist's Fire, and Thunderstones if possible. Other than that, the items VJ got should be fine.
Parker will spend an hour or so tying knots in the rope to make it easier to climb.

Depends on what time you intend to leave in the morning. She opens around 700 am.
-
I think the Antitoxin is important enough that we can push back our teleport time and wait until she opens.
-
Can we not escort the constables to the site of the attack, then leave from there?
-

Asinjin can get us to within spitting distance of the "key". We stand a better chance of helping everyone if we get that errand done first. Then we can meet up with the contingent investigating the abduction of the paladin.
-
So if the drow are actually lying in wait we will be able to tend to the corpses of the constables when we return.
-
"I highly doubt that there are any drow out there. We can go out there quickly, ahead of them. If we find nothing, we can simply leave and be confident the constables will be fine."
-
Agreed.

I will check throughout the day tomorrow. I would still like to see a list of what you are taking besides what VJ has gathered. At the moment it seems you are following the cleric's directions to the site of the ambush.
See you tomorrow. Try to be early if you can.

Asinjin takes all of his usually items that he carries on him.

In regards to the mundane equipment you are preparing please post an exact list of anything out of the ordinary you are taking. VJ gathers torches, two lanterns, 8 flasks of oil, a mirror, 100 feet of good rope, a grapple, chalk, pitons, a hammer, rations, blankets and warm clothes for 12.
I also suggest several tents, plenty of full waterskins, snowshoes, crampons, a 10 ft pole, some extra arrows, and flint and steel.
I have a bag of holding with plenty of space.

In addition to the equipment mentioned earlier, here are some more items to add to the list
Ascender/slider
Earplugs
Marbles
Pulley
Thick Hide gloves
Shoes, silent
Shriek rock
Springwall
Winch, portable
Caltrops

I have all of my spell components.

How are you all getting to the site of the ambush?
-
- Getting directions from the cleric
- Myself and one other on Phantom Steed (flying moving at 24 mph)
- Other is Rubius' Bag or flying by some other means or running fast?
Did we calculate that is was about 10 miles away?

What time should we get there tonight?
-
I haven't heard from everyone that they can be early, so I assume regular time. Whitesword and I will be here by 645, but I assume Valdis and Hero will be 730-800 as usual.

Yes. He gives you some landmarks. Are you actually flying or do you have to follow the curves of the road? If you are flying above the terrain (hills etc) it will be about 7 miles.

I can fly on the Phantom Steed.

So you can be there in less than 20 minutes.
