Post any questions.
To start, every gets 800xp

Osrick mentioned getting all his memories back, thus restoring his former power and abilities. All the Clerics seem to be able to receive blessings from their Deities, so that's encouraging. We also suspect that magic is fully functional based on Jessie's experiment. We've determined that we're surrounded by a magical forcefield of some kind that spreads out for miles. The moon is present, so if we're traveling through time, it's not more than 600-650 years ago. If in the future, we're in some sort of Planet of the Apes type scenario. Not much we can do about that. The only indication that we're not too far removed from our current timeline is that Taye was able to communicate mentally with known allies. Again, this could be the result of magical tampering or telepathic trickery, but we have no concrete proof. All signs appear to point to still being on Habololy, although that could also be a magical ruse, but we have no proof otherwise. We ended the session after getting a full night's rest and fully healed, so at least there's that.
For starters, do any of us suddenly have memories rush back into our minds that we may have previously been unaware of? In particular, does Yoshi have any more prophecies that manifest in his mind?
Is there any sign of Vecchi? If not, can Taye try to reach out to him telepathically? We were hoping for the best with Vecchi, but never truly determined if Yoshi's prophecy was meant to be a blessing or an omen. If he's behind any of this, we're in trouble.
Do any of us suddenly gain power or abilities like Osrick or are we all essentially the same?
Do the multiple uses of the new time cantrip or Gareth's casting of Lay of the Land provide any insights into the passage of time or reveal any unaccounted for gaps in time? Also, where is the officially approved version of the cantrip posted so I can add it to my D&D app on my phone?
I believe someone recalled the name of an ancient civilization similar to what the Amatom Gnomes used to identify themselves. What do we know about the history of those people and the land itself during that time period? Now that our minds are theoretically clearer, we may be able to recall more details.
Lastly, is there anything growing in this land that appears fertile? We encountered a forest, but are the trees wilted and dying like the grouping we camped in? Are there any nuts, fruits, or grains that can be picked and harvested? If not, I'll continue to focus on the Creation domain so I can feed and hydrate us all.
Is the soil itself salty or was the salt only concentrated among the salt zombies we encountered?

There has been no sign of him since you awoke. Taye has not tried to contact him.

Nothing any of you have noticed.

That's a solid recap, 200xp

No sudden rush of memories.
No new prophecies for Yoshi.
-
Do the multiple uses of the new time cantrip or Gareth's casting of Lay of the Land provide any insights into the passage of time or reveal any unaccounted for gaps in time?
No, there appears to be no odd gaps since you encountered the stone giants.
-

Terlus thinks that the soil is no saltier than normal, other than immediately around the skeletons.
-

What do we know about the history of those people and the land itself during that time period? Now that our minds are theoretically clearer, we may be able to recall more details.
Gnom-Krug was the name of the forced nation state of orcs and gnomes after their empires had fallen.
Most of you would have little information about what is was like, and Terlus' opinion is...biased.

The trees were growing in a typical fashion.
Terlus was beginning to gather things to eat in the forest. The broken lands are much more barren.

Taye reaches out to Vecchi before we go to sleep that night.

No response.

Yoshi takes 20 (total 25) to search the area where the orc skeletons came from. Looking for any of their former belongings that might provide a clue as to where/when we are. A coin with a year stamped on it, a military insignia, etc.
-
I should note that for a second night your sleep is uncomfortable and restless. If you make a heal check, you get 1 hp per level, otherwise none. It takes you an extra two hours to recover spells and PSP are gained at one rate slower.

You find no weapons or armor, some shredded clothing made of leather. The ground is loose where they came out of it.

I sift through the loose dirt too.

Just rubs oil into her dry skin.. the only history she knows is Borkon The Rusted. She doesn't have magics, and Quan Yin is there, she can feel her.

You are able to get down two feet into the loose ground where the skeletons came from, who find nothing else of note.
-
I let everyone know that I can't reach Vecchi
-
Taye, out of curiosity, who was it that you contacted initially? I'm trying to determine if that person or persons were a long lived species. Also, what did you tell them and what was their response?

It was one of the emporer's aides, an orc.

Taye, could you try reaching out to the Cleric of the Oldest Orc who we got the blood sample?

Gareth says: “All I know about Gnom-Krug is that after Stasis slew Amat (every Icefian knows every version of that story), while the Gnomes were in disarray, Shir-Cannus Nerad Custus (the legendary Orc warlord) invaded and destroyed Gnom-Krug. For many years everyone thought that was the end of the Amatine Gnomes; until they revealed the existence of Amatom. As far as I know that was the last anyone gave any thought to Gnom-Krug.”

Haarl told me about that SheerCanine guy, said he wasn't the most detail oriented guy, Told me that Borkon himself stood up to him and his legions and won.
Maybe he missed some? It would make sense to why they where upset to see outsiders.
