Questions for the emperor, questions for Tchau
-
It is the 15th day of the 7th month of 817.
-
Barek - interested in things, asks Tchau
" What organization are you part of that you are tracking the movements of Lilac.. I was isolated from the war, but I know she's pretty much the personification of Arcanogyny. That's a Grean word.. there is no real translation for it in common, but it's something like Arcane magic users are power, all others are less "
-
Akrah on the other hand talks to the clerics there about how the Orcs have been spared from the torment of the plane of dementia. Feeling safe in Melg. Wondering who of the clerics gathered might know anything about the God of Lost Knowledge.
She is also interested in the riots, and the motivations there, but doesn't really purse it other the asking the occasional guard why some riot.
-
Arcanogyny.

"I'll answer your questions once I'm sure of who you are."

The clerics indicate that they have always been protected, and they assume it is because of their faith in the oldest Orc.
The consensus is that he is a force that exists to thwart and oppose the Oldest Orc. The powers of existence always find an opposing force to balance. An orcish philosopher once said "For every belief, their is an unequal and opposite belief."
-
Iwakasi mostly keeps quiet unless directly spoken to. He does note that without the glowing entity to bring Tae back from Iott, the possibility of having to travel by boat, yet again, is getting more and more likely.
Jesse hob-nobs among the emperors court and is friendly with everyone. He takes the opportunity to get to know the other "friends of Tae" better. In the back of his mind he is considering the boon he will ask of the emperor.
-
Once inside the wall, the group with Tchau learns about the events that occurred inside and that a celebration is happening.
Tchau says, "I will not go to be in the presence of the emperor. If you want to speak, pick a different place and be quick."

xp for a recap for Terrorshard
After being sent home by the GoLK, the group found themselves in various positions, from comfortable to imprisoned. Most of us made an attempt to communicate to each other, but none more pressing than Taye who psionically screamed for help as he found himself imprisoned in Iott. Many of the group decided they would attempt to save Taye, but not before returning to the Orcish Empire to return the blood vials and complete the original mission.
After psionically coordinating with almost everyone he knows, Taye begged for help and filled in everyone contacted with all essential details of where he was. His contacts included all his most recent travelling companions as well as everyone he ever adventured with in the past. Most of his friends agreed to save him, but they were spread across the world making it difficult to get to him. Gareth nobly traded in his ancient shortsword to the Iron Tower for transportation to Iott and several new magic items. He even managed to make it to the island. More on that later.
In the meantime, Pastor Oz decided to take a chance on his newly acquired ring to see if it actually was a Ring of Three Wishes. Indeed it was, but with a catch. The ring summoned an imprisoned Desert Elf (name?) who is an ancient Wizard of great power. This Elf is trapped in the ring as a prison and can only be released upon completing three wishes for the ring bearer. Oz wished for something elaborate but was told it wouldn't be able to be granted, so he reduced it to gathering all of Taye's allies in Melg so we could complete the DNA tracing ceremony. The Wizard brought some of the allies but not all since he couldn't retrieve Osrick. This included Gareth who was already in Iott at the time, but had not located Taye. The Wizard stated he couldn't fulfill the wish and that Oz needed to pick another. Oz asked to have Taye rescued and brought to Melg. The Wizard agreed and set off for several days. While the group of gathered friends got to know each other or caught up with old friends, several of the group went to meet the Emperor while Oz and a few others stayed behind to wait for Taye. We waited in a Magnificent Mansion conjured by the Elf.
Word reached us after about two days that the ceremony was complete and the Orcs were pleased with our help. There was a minor insurrection among the Orcs at the ceremony, but that ceased as the ceremony completed and the previous Emperor was declared dead. Those gathered were called into the central part of the city for a celebration. It was about the third day when, while waiting for Taye, another visitor arrived. She introduced herself as Laila, the once and future ruler of Iott. She subtly threatened the group then Power Word Stunned Oz and stole his ring. Someone encroached her (Ezra maybe?) and tried to steal something off her belt, but got Baleful Polymorphed into a Human woman for his trouble. With the ring out of the picture and no sign of the Wizard or Taye, we decided to meet the others in the city for the celebration.
As we were gathering our possessions and making our way to leave, we noticed a flaming portal open up and another Elven Wizard step out. To our surprise it wasn't the one from the Wish ring, but instead someone named Tchau. He introduced himself as someone wanting to track Laila's whereabouts and also as the one who originally set Taye free. He agreed to help us with Taye but asked to speak somewhere private and away from the Emperor. That's where we left off.
-
One small correction- the prior high cleric, not the emperor, is dead.
-
Gareth has a good time at the party, but seems very lost with the quest to rescue Taye unnecessary and the blood delivered.
Cyrus does not engage T’Chau, but listens carefully to anything he tells us about Gawyninon.
-
Breach enjoys the celebration even though he didn’t do anything to contribute. He’s the obnoxious cocky drunk guy at a party, but he doesn’t drink. He antagonizes soldiers present into arm wrestling contests, preferably those he thinks he can beat. He “inadvertently” throws an elbow or two Cyrus’ way if given the opportunity.
Yoshi takes the opportunity to engage with as many clerics of the OO as possible. Typical topics include their lineage, his lineage, and the Gopher of Lost Knowledge. He shows them the headband he acquired to see if anyone recognizes it. He also mentally prepares his High Cleric acceptance speech just in case he’s nominated - never hurts to be prepared.
Ezra is disoriented by his transformation and is entirely focused on that. He thoroughly explores his new form, unhindered by the lack of privacy. He stumbles forward frequently, his balance thrown off by lack of a tail. He is also unusually talkative, though his voice is still a loud whisper with the drawn out “sssss’s” of a gatori despite now being a human female. He asks all of the magic users present in the group how long this condition will last and how to undo it. He does not seem to regret trying to liberate loot from Lyla because it would have been a legendary act of divine justice to steal from a thief like her. His lightning wounds don’t seem as bad as they initially were.

The clerics are not at the party, you have to go to the temples if you want to talk to them.

T'Chau offers to try and end that curse.

Think about:
- questions for T'Chau (he's not staying long)
- what you ask of the emperor (Oz, Gareth, Yoshi, Akrah). No one else was both here when you left and here upon your return.
- thoughts on if you are going to get Taye

- thoughts on if you are going to get Taye
T'Chau - How did you free Taye before? Would you be able to show us how, or better yet, would you be willing to help us free him again before you leave us?
Emperor - What happens now that the bloodline ritual is complete? Who's the next High Cleric? Is there anything else you need of us before we return to our homes? As far as what we ask of him, Oz requests help in rescuing Taye whether in the form of physical help (people, resources, etc.) or magic items. Oz would be happy to return anything of great value back to the Empire once the mission is complete.
Taye - Pastor Oz will help rescue Taye, but he can't do it alone. He'll need assistance for that task. I'm trying to recruit T'Chau to help us, and of course, anyone from the group who's willing to join the rescue mission. Oz now considers Taye a part of his Scurry (a gathering of squirrels) or congregation, so he feels obligated to help.
-
Akrah spends some time thinking about the Celestial Bureaucracy now that this quest is over. Trying to get a feel for what Quan Yin would like her to do. She will pay a visit to the Nursery before she leaves.
Barek just eats some brownies and takes in the oddity of the whole month.
-
Is Rano here? Last we spoke of him, he was given his father's blessing to meet at the Iron Tower, but I don't know if he was ever teleported here via Wish.
-
Gareth politely tells the emperor that he would like to make sure the new high cleric hears from at least Yoshi and as many of the rest of us that he will grant an audience, about our discovery of the Land of Lost Knowledge.
-
Cyrus just listens to T’Chau. It’s pretty clear that Cyrus is wary of him.
-

Yes, he flew you to the Iron Tower, you were on the ship, and came with the rest of the group. A whirlwind you got caught up in.

That will certainly happen.
-
T'Chau - How did you free Taye before? Would you be able to show us how, or better yet, would you be willing to help us free him again before you leave us?
I had access to everywhere in Iott, so I let him out of the prison along with many others. I am no longer welcome in Iott, going there would alert them.

The emperor agrees to offer any aid he can, but he cannot do anything that would constitute and act of war against Iott.
-

In that case, Rano will quietly observe all that's going on and get to know the assembled group as best he can. In his down time, he'll spar with any Orcish guards willing to train with him.
-
Barek leaning back in a seat -- " we need a paladin or something of Drunnbar to fight the powers of magic ".. his eyes a little glazed..
-
T'Chau offers to try and end that curse.
“Yessss. Pleassse do.” (Said in a very non-lizard like feminine voice before losing his/her balance and stumbling forward.)
-
The clerics are not at the party, you have to go to the temples if you want to talk to them.
Yes, I definitely do that. I also show them the headband obtained from No Name to help identify it. Failing the OO clerics I will take it to a HanSui temple. The relic should be returned to its rightful religion.

The orcish clerics are at first unimpressed and just thank you. Later, they come back to you and ask to talk to you privately. Because you are a cleric of the Oldest Orc, they will grant you the respect of not forcing you to tell the truth via divine force.

what I have recounted is the truth, whether you believe in it or not. You may use divine magic to verify it, at your discretion.
