Did Yoshi ever do the time scry thing on Roland for Gareth? Our down time in the villa would be a good time for that if we hadn’t done it yet.

Questions for Haas, Burke, or Gnettin?

RECAP
The festivities in the Orcish Empire continued on for several days with the celebration lasting all 24 hours each day. The newly arrived companions of Taye gathered outside the city proper in a travelers tavern and discussed a rescue plan with T'Chau. We tried explaining how we came about our powerful items such as the Graplore Belt and ring/genie bottle, but T'Chau and most of the other newly arrived companions cold not retain the information regarding the GoLK. Nonetheless, we pressed on with a plan to get across the continent, get to Iott, then break Taye out of prison.

At one point during the celebration, the Emperor put us up in the royal suite at the palace to thank us for our service to the Empire. It was there that we finalized plans and all companions made their introductions, but not before the newly promoted Terlus made his grand entrance in a new set of armor and rank insignias. He thanked us for helping him reach this new high point in his career and informed us that his new mission was to rescue Taye. After speaking with him about some of the fine points and details of his promotion, he told us he would lead 500 Orcish soldiers to escort us to Lynkeed so we could meet with the keeper of the reliquary, Burke. After receiving our various boons from the Emperor, we set out on our journey.

We encountered no issues while travelling with the Orcs and made our way safely to Lynkeed. Once we arrived, Terlus and a handful of 10 soldiers approached the main gates and announced our arrival. Since several of us were considered enemies of the state, we were nervous to set foot on these lands again. Terlus returned to assure us we were in no danger. We then made our way to the reliquary. After meeting with Burke, explaining what we were up to, and presenting Akrah's Grapplore Belt, he informed us of the difficulties we'd encounter in Iott without a special ring and so took Osrick's rod of quickening as collateral in exchange for the ring. He then immediately summoned Father Haas to report the return of this mighty relic. Haas arrived shortly after and met us all in the reliquary chambers.

After telling him the story several times of the GoLK and how we came about acquiring the belt, Haas finally had a glint of recognition in his eyes. We then told him of our plans to quietly arrive in Iott under the radar on a boat, get Taye, then travel back to the mainland as soon as possible. Between the people that T'Chau knows on the island and some of the contacts Haas has, we arranged to rendezvous with several people who could help us infiltrate Iott, navigate us through the most populated portions of the island, then lead us to the outlands where Taye's prison is located. But before any of this takes place, we agreed to travel with Haas back to the High Temple of Jaswap where we could return the belt to its proper location. Haas whisked us away magically to Jaswap and that's where we left off. Next season begins with the rescue of Taye.

Cyrus is obviously in awe of Haas, as a high cleric of one of the judges and a martial artist. He is equally impressed just to be in the high temple in Jaswap. We will spar at every opportunity for however long we are there.

He asks Haas for any contacts he has among the clergy of Celetal in Hertopowlis and Iott who may be sympathetic to us and inclined to rescue Taye (as a psion).

Gareth is also in awe, because he is meeting a legend (albeit one he saw years ago). He waits as patiently as possible to speak with Haas about all of we have learned about the Celestial Bureaucracy (he leaves the GOLK to others). Most importantly he hopes to ask Haas about Roland.

Haas invites Cyrus, and anyone else interested, to participate in daily exercises at the temple.

Haas will contact the church of Celetal leaders he met with in Hertopowlis, though doubtful he’ll receive a beneficial response. Haas does not know anyone in Iott.

Gareth still interested in doing this?

You are granted an audience. He listens intently to the Celestial Bureaucracy issue and asks many questions about it, using spells to verify your honesty. He also later grills Breach about the subject and your character. Assuming it all checks out, Haas is disturbed by the “invasion” (he uses Breach’s terminology) and will make a decree that the faithful must be vigilant and wary of these invaders lest they upset the balance of the Counsel. He will call a meeting with other local Counsel clergy to discuss the matter.

Also happy to discuss Roland, though Haas hasn’t seen him in ages.

Yes to Gareth’s interest.

Per the end of the era stories, Haas believed Roland was slain in Kathow during the plagues.

Yoshi will need Garett to provide a past event or date for the viewing attempt. Is there some particular moment in Roland’s life that Garett is interested in learning about?

Ah, that’s right. You are from the orphanage he founded. DM, does Haas know anything about Roland beyond what’s in the story?

How specific does he have to be? He knows roughly when Roland was supposedly killed.

It functions like the Temporal Eye chronomancy spell except you can only view past events involving a person or place at a specific time. Narrowing down the date would be necessary. Viewing would last up to 12 hrs so a guess at the time of day would be good. If you are uncertain we could perhaps pick a date a week or a month after the suspected date of his death - that might tell us what you want to know. Yoshi can only use the staff 1/wk, and it is exhausting. If we are in the Empire long enough I can try again.
