PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT WITH EXTRA INFO/CORRECTIONS]</span><br /><br />So, as everyone knows by now, this campaign is hereby ended, due to lack of time and DM burnout. However, we did continue the storyline in our last session (7/30) and came up with a projected future series of events. Herein lie the accounts of the various invasions of the new Hora Quan Empire.<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />Also, guys, as I plan to write up Janan's crazy crossdressing lesbian romance at some point, I'd really appreciate it if y'all could forward me any extra campaign/world info you have. Metagaming for the win!</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />What Was Happening Behind the Secretive, Secretive Scenes:</span><br /><br />The Diamond Throne was approaching Freja, offering to set her up as Empress of the Hora Quan in return for her basically being their puppet.<br />Anika was off being Robin Hood? or is this a future event?<br />Janan was actually a girl!<br />Blank was planning a possible coup, if necessary. (Read: if Leif takes over.)<br />Sigrid was getting really sick of all this political bullshit and she and Ganan were thinking of just leaving for another plane.<br />Leif was conniving with Kheriim and by extension Kaperi.<br />Halden was actually a drunken idiot!<br />Er...Ghalib still didn't care about anything but the library and his family.<br />Cho Dan (?sp) made overtures towards Leif, who was considering forming an alliance with them.<br />The Harrid are thinking of invading Xanadu. More magic to eat!<br />Stavros is ready to be allies with anyone who will help against the Harrid. Various people try to take advantage of this.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">What Would Have Happened:<br /></span><br />Sigrid and Ganan leave. (Yes, I know she was planning on sinking the island, but let's just forget about that for the sake of the plot, alright?)<br />The Giants invade! with Freya as a sock-puppet sort of ruler.<br />Leif ousts the Giants with the aid of Cho Dan.<br />The Harrid invade EVERYWHERE.<br />(cue battle with clockwork army!)<br />Anika forments a rebellion in Diamond throne territory.<br />Blank is the mastermind behind the rebellion in Xanadu, supposedly led by Halden.<br />Mihal catches up with Janan. They help with the rebellions, traveling around and having their EPIC CRAZY ROMANCE. (ahem.)<br />Eventually, the forces of Good (or at least the protagonists) prevail! Halden and Anika jointly rule over the Diamond Throne & Xanadu. [PLOT HOLE OF GINORMOUS PROPORTIONS BEING THE HEART OF THE SEA GODDAMN IT I NEED MORE INFO FROM ODDYSEY GRAR] Blank is Commandant! And not only owns the whole ocean, but EVERYTHING.<br />It works out well for everyone who doesn't die a terrible awful death at some point.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">RL Quotage from Friday, July 30th:<br /></span><span><br />"Giant squid are well known for their arrogance." - Oddysey<br /><br />"Sean Connery <span style="font-style: italic;">is</span> pretty delicious." - Qwerty<br /><br />"You hate the Grand Canyon?

While there were some delays in the development cycle, and a suboptimal initial field test, it is finally done. All that's left is to go to Sigrid and Gannon and receive the funding for the mass production versions.

Aed wakes Stavros and Janan sneaks off to investigate.</li><li>We hear the shriek again. (ohnoes!)</li><li>Janan approaches the ocean and finally recognizes the sound, remembering that it is mating season for the eels of Gorzam.</li><li>The following morning, Aed teleports us back to Xanadu.</li><li>While arguing what to do about ded!Halden, we are noticed by guards, who, naturally, notify Sigrid of the <span style="font-style: italic;">crazy people carrying the prince's corpse!</span></li><li>She is Not Pleased.</li><li>Soern cannot revive Halden until the following day, for unspecified spell slot related reasons.</li><li>Halden LIVVEEESS! But is not stumbling around in search of brains, only in search of beer.</li><li>We then go to Gorzam in search of Blank (teleportation instead of tunnels being seen as the better part of magical travel).</li><li>Uncle Grisby's Tavern!</li><li>Uncle Grisby has no knowledge of Blank's current whereabouts.</li><li>We know that Blank and Sebastian set out for Gorzam at the same time but on different ships. Blank & co. never arrived, but Sebastian did.</li><li>We find this suspicious, and go talk to Sebastian.</li><li>Apparently, according to Sebastian, Blank got distracted by something and said that he needed to go do something else. </li><li>After some somewhat confusing discussion, we go off to the Pirate's Cove (with passwords provided by Sebastian) to rescue Antonio, one of Blank's Admirals and Sebastian's younger brother, from the bad!pirates (i.e., the probable rum smugglers who are not honest enough dishonest men to put their dishonest drinks on the honest black market! ...um...)</li><li>Janan, forgetting about the passwords, attempts to charm his way in.</li><li>This fails.</li><li>In a way that should classify it as a total!fail (TM).</li><li>Kheriim attacks one of the two guards, then Stavros attacks the other one, engaging us all in battle. One guard manages to call for assistance, so then we had to fight those too.</li><li>We defeat them: yay us!, and decide to let them live if they promise to become honest fishmongers. (Why yes, Kheriim <span style="font-style: italic;">was</span> the one to check their motives. However did you guess?)</li><li>We then go to get Antonio from his cell with their admittedly coerced assistance.</li><li>After locating Antonio, we also locate R(?what's his name?) the leader of these dread rum smugglers. Kheriim sends an elemental into his room to wake him up (really, with the way she summons these fire elemenatals, you'd think she and Janan would be better friends...) and after he is chased out of his bedroom by fire! we interrogate him.</li><li>While talking, R says it doesn't matter if we kill him because "Don Maurice" will resurrect him.</li><li>He refuses to answer any further questions so we decide to forcibly take him back to Xanadu.</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes:</span><br />Most Skaraavan women are actually "men," where "man" means someone who has been horribly subjugated for at least a year and then escaped on his own and killed at least three dread magic-eating birds with his bare hands.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Quotage:</span><br />"There is sprite at the end of the tunnel!"-Foole, to Artemis re: her thirst on the way to D&D<br /><br />"THOSE are the shrieking toads.

The circumstances of the how and why have long been lost to history. He is now the god <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Alastor</span>. As such, he has a piece of a plane that is all his own, his Domain, just as all Gods have.<div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Alastor's</span> domain appears to be the combination of a Victorian garden and a hedge maze. It is a series of rose gardens connected by hallway-like corridors made of plants. Navigating these corridors is nearly impossible without <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Alastor's</span> help. Each rose garden is a different color, and causes those within the garden to experience different emotions.</div><div><br /></div><div>His favorite section of his gardens is his observation room. There is a large pool of shiny silver liquid that can view different areas in the mortal realm. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Alastor</span> spends much of his time watching here various mortal pursuits such as wars and bizarre sporting events.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Alastor's</span> Domain is the source of the Festoons <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">de</span> Fervor, which are bouquets made from flowers from several of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Alastor's</span> gardens. The roses can be used to influence the feelings and emotions of those around the bearer of the bouquet. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Alastor</span> is very careful about distributing these bouquets, as they are quite powerful. He does tend to give out single roses to visitors, friends, and persons of interest to him. These roses are eternally in bloom and have very limited emotional power on their own.</div>Drobihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212055243162694350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313848273052421559.post-26926320221414782162009-07-17T07:51:00.001-07:002009-07-17T08:56:45.478-07:00Session 6: That's Animist, That Is! Rocks Are People Too!7/10<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Recap:</span><br /><ul><li>Session starts with us outside the temple of Doom.</li><li>Aed teleports us to Xanadu's docks. (Huzzah, we don't die of teleport failure!)</li><li>Janan and Kheriim argue about stones' sentience.</li><li>Elsewhere in the temple district, a Clockwork Bearverine gets loose and causes mayhem. Soern claims no knowledge of said beast.</li><li>We find Sigrid fighting and destroying the clockwork bearverine.</li><li>Sigrid is debriefed on the cup-getting venture.</li><li>Sigrid holds a conference with Soern, Ghalib, Aed, and Stavros about the cup. Janan and Halden hit the bars. Leif and Kheriim do their things. (?)<br />The cup is only mentioned one other time in Ghalib's studies, and that in conjunction with the stone tablet we'd already found.<br />The tablet had been a gift to the empire. Pre-Harrid but still subjugated Skaraavan wanted a place to hide it and keep it safe.</li><li>Soern fills the cup with gold, as referenced in one of the scraps of info Ghalib previously found, and asks its powers, limitations, and capabilities.<br /></li><li>The cryptic answer: "Life. Death. Prophecy."</li><li>There is then an argument over who should bleed in the cup, to test that aspect. Ghalib is irritated by powerful adults acting sillier than his youngest daughters, and cuts his hand to provide the blood. Sigrid slices her arm open to see if drinking the silvery elixir will cure her. (It does.) Sigrid then bleeds a pint of blood into the cup, and uses the elixir to heal Gannen of a terrible magical injury (previously unknown of to most present). Gannen is all better! And the Heart of the Sea is no longer acting weird. Oddly, Gannen and Sigrid disappear for the next couple of hours.</li><li>The next part of the session was spent arguing about what quest the 11th levels would take up next. Possible choices included searching for Blank (lost somewhere in Gorzam), searching for possible Harrid scouts in Xanadu, going to deal with the Harrid problem in Skaraavan, returning to explore more of the tomb of Ozymandias, researching the shadowy bird who talked to Leif, ...</li><li>Aed, Kheriim, and Leif talk to Soern about the magical shadowy bird. From what Soern says about the power involved, etc., we are Holy Hells! Monala must be behind this! And promptly freak out.</li><li>We then decide to search for Blank in Gorzam, but by way of the tomb of Ozymandias ( a sort of compromise).</li><li>Going through the tunnels, we make it to the ice cave without problems, only some strange noises off in the distance.</li><li>Then we are attacked! And we do furious battle with shadowy crystaline porqupine-like humanoids.</li><li>Leif nearly dies. A LOT.</li><li>Leif ends up hitting Janan and Aed with a buffed up explosive crossbow bolt and nearly kills them both. Janan and Aed are Not Happy.</li><li>HALDEN GETS KILLED OH NOES!!!

<b>Recap:</b><br />
<ul><li>The party sets off on their two month trip to Khorl, the closest port to the Deathwastes, in which there is apparently a temple containing the magic cup we're looking for(according to the stone tablet & Stavros).</li>
<li>While en route, Halden has his eighteenth birthday, and there is much <strike>rum</strike> <strike> rejoicing </strike> rum and rejoicing.</li>
<li>Janan convinces Halden to join him belowdecks. After they...entertained themselves and were on their way back up top, Janan notices the door to their room is magicked in some fashion. Halden does not care and goes on through. (sandwiches!) Nothing appears to happen to either Halden or Janan, so they decide to forget about it.</li>
<li>Once they arrive in Khorl, Janan decides to go visit her mam's old brothel. The magic-users decline to come, instead hanging out with Aed in some tavern/inn as he studies the distant mountain in preparation for teleportation.</li>
<li>The party landed in what turns out to be Zaz territory. Janan is noticed by a group of Zaz youngsters who attack as soon as they realize a Yarlz lad is in their midst. Stavros and Halden step in to help, and the battle ends with several dead thirteen-year-olds. (It's alright; they had it coming. They attacked us.)</li>
<li>The non-magic-users make their way to the brothel. Janan visits with old friends and ends up mysteriously disappearing for a while. Stavros is intrigued by the brothel and Halden disappears (most un-mysteriously) for a while.</li>
<li>Stavros and Halden meet back up with the magic-users, but there is still no Janan. Cue argument about looking for him, waiting for him, ditching him, etc.</li>
<li>Janan shows up all "Ready to go?" and many people want to slap him.</li>
<li>Aed teleports the group. We do not die! Or get split into many pieces across the lands! Huzzah!</li>
<li>We arrive at the Rakshasa citadel, AKA the Temple of Elemental Evil (consencrated to Fire, Death, and EVIL)</li>
<li>It appears most evil. We explore, but nothing exciting happens until we find an altar. Stavros' approach somehow triggers the opening of a secret door. Clearly, this means we must rush ahead into the dank dark tunnel of DOOM with nary a care.</li>
<li>We come into a great big chamber with a ginormous chasm and a stone bridge connecting our side to the other side with an altar and the Magic Cup of Quest-Fullfillment.</li>
<li>The magic-users are pragmatic and cautious, staying on the one side and making great plans. The non-magic-users are unsure what the words pragmatic and cautious mean, and blithely make their way across.</li>
<li>Halden decides in his infinite wisdom that as this <i>is</i> a temple of fire, blood, and evil, that it would totally be the best plan to bleed into the magical cup. Luckily, this appears to do nothing besides create a silvery sort of substance.</li>
<li>Aed decides in his infinite wisdom to use magic! to lift the cup up and transport it to the other side.</li>
<li>We are then attacked by shadowy skeletons. Many of them. Clearly the timing of this was completely coincidental.</li>
<li>Victory is ours, but we all suffer injury, particularly Stavros who finds himself rather near death. However, when he touches the cup, it heals him.</li>
<li>We then chill outside the temple waiting for Aed to prep his teleport spell. </li>
</ul><br />
<b>Notes:</b><br />
This party is rather polarized, but at least the two sides are even in number, even if the non-magic-users have to make do with an awesome npc rather than a third pc.<br />

Likes Fire knows a lot about whales. He says they are magical. Skepticism will be maintained for the meantime. Time at sea was otherwise boring. Ao-Manasa has a lot of people in it. One is Finder of Things. Finder of Things knows nothing about the cup which we seek. Finder of Things knows of a staff that controls bees.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">There are also bars in Ao-Manasa. Likes Fire and Trouble Boy wanted to go. Prince came too. Alcohol is bad, but drinks were had anyway. Trouble Boy tried to fight the bar. Then there was fire. It was time to go. Priest and Likes Fire argued. It was still time to go. Why won't they go? All problems can be solved with magic. They finally go.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Time to leave Ao-Manasa. Some want to find an island full of bees. Seems difficult. Some want to go to some tomb. Seems easier. To the tomb is the direction of travel. Also, human sexuality and relationships seem complicated. Likes Fire said something about Glowy Lady and sexual behavior and then Prince got upset and tried to attack him. Time to hide in the air.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">When the tomb was in sight, something happened. White puddings attacked! It was bad and painful. Then there was magic and they died.</span></div>Drobihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212055243162694350noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313848273052421559.post-37233279104634285802009-06-21T08:20:00.000-07:002009-06-21T11:36:31.105-07:00Session 4: In Which Our Intrepid Adventurers Find Themselves Inexplicably in Gorzam6/20<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Recap:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>Following the fight with the ice golem, we return to the boat for sleep, setting watches.<br />Last watch (Leif and Kheriim) was the only eventful watch, with some shadowy thing approaching Leif and offering to teach him how to control the Heart of the Sea in return for powerful artifacts.<br />Leif had not intended to tell the rest of the party, but the innocent insistence of Kheriim combined with a terrible bluff check means we are all now aware.<br />We return to the ice caves!<br />Past where the ice golem had stood guard, we discover much awesome treasure and a bizarre stone tablet. Stavros recognizes the script, but cannot translate. Ancient form of Skaravanian?<br />-SIX HOURS LATER-<br />We spy an exit of some sort.<br />We exit!<br />Lo and behold, it is a cold frozen northland!<br />"This must be Gorzam," we say.<br />Ax confirms.<br />Blank calls Ax and is surprised to learn that we are in Gorzam.<br />Ax returns to the ship through the magical caves, dragging Halden with him, with the intent to sail to Gorzam and reunite with the party there.<br />We make our way into the city of Gorzam without! being attacked by wild yeti.<br />We go into the first bar Janan spots: The Yeti's Breath.<br />They have no rum.<br />This being Gorzam, they have no other alcohol either, just empty tankards and sighs and wails bemoaning the times when a fellow can't even get a flask of rum.<br />Kheriim 'makes friends' with a crazy guy who is apparently part of a PETA like movement and calls himself both a priest and a follower of the Great Icy JellyFish. (Guy has two eyepatches and wears a dead jellyfish for a hat.)<br />Stavros and Kheriim end up arguing about Verrik metaphysics.<br />Janan and Aed still want drinks, as does Stavros, so upon hearing a rumor of rum, we approach another bar: The Iceberg Lounge.<br />It's fancy.<br />And it has bouncers.<br />The bouncers do not like us.<br />We do not get any rum.<br />Luckily, we also do not get dead, despite Leif's almost starting a fight.<br />We then retire to yet another bar, one mentioned to Janan by Captain Blank: Uncle Grisby's Tavern.<br />We play cards and try not to kill eachother.<br />Captain Blank arrives in Gorzam!<br />Janan complains about Gorzam's brothels and their quality of service.<br />Blank refuses to let Janan sail his ship. Ever. End of story.<br />They finally decide to return to Xanadu with the information and treasure they've gathered, Blank communicating with Ax so that Ax will return Halden to Xanadu.<br />Our mission?

Velociraptors are sneaky creatures, don't you know?<span style="font-weight: bold;">Recap:</span><br />We go into the tomb of Ozymandias.<br />Kheriim finds a secret tunnel.<br />This tunnel is cold, dark, and leading downwards.<br />It gets both colder and darker.<br />Suddenly, we are attacked! by a Grave Wolf.<br />This happens at approximately the same time we come upon an open chamber, size unknown but large enough that a globe light (radii of 20 feet) does not illuminate the sides.<br />Apparently, where there is one Grave Wolf, there are two more you missed on the spot check.<br />We do brave battle! And eventually prevail!<br />Although not without complications:<br />Leif hits Halden with an attack spell (as well as a wolf). Bad Leif!<br />Moving on, we come upon an ice golem guarding a giant door.<br />Janan attempts to be diplomatic.<br />This does not work.<br />We start fighting with it.<br />This does not work either.<br />Luckily, we all survive and manage to take the golem down, mostly due to Admiral Ax's higher level and Leif's early-spent rune attack.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes:</span><br />Leif is a terrible brother. D:<br />Grave Wolves come from up north, where they are said to haunt the houses of the dead. When Grave Wolves die, they dissipate into a cold mist.<br />Arguing with a construct such as a golem is akin to arguing with a calculator, and as futile.<br />Janan crit fails way too often.<br />Halden & Leif are likely to kill each other in future sessions if there is not an intervention of some kind.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Quotage:</span><br />"That is vague enough for me to approve!" -Qwerty, <span style="font-style: italic;">Commandant Blank</span>, re: Sigrid's definition of tariff<br /><br />"He says he'll totally tone down the border actions if you tone down the piracy." -oddysey, re: npc Giant ambassador from the Diamond Throne<br /><br />"If it makes you and your brother feel better, I totally have a lock of each of your hair, so I can always bring you back" -Artemis, <span style="font-style: italic;">Sigrid</span><br />"...thanks, mom."-Oddysey, <span style="font-style: italic;">Halden</span><br /><br />"I will give monkey comrade little push up!" -Qwerty, <span style="font-style: italic;">Stavros</span>, re: lifting Ax for gliding purposes<br /><br />"Was that in my fake Australian accent?

I think he may be regretting taking me as his apprentice and so now he just gives me busy work. He's always muttering about how I don't use enough attack spells. He just doesn't understand. I'm a priest, I help people, and usually that means healing or protecting them, not blowing them up. Anyway, the readings I've taken don't seem good. I think the Heart might be dying or maybe it's going to explode (Samani, God of Keeping The Heart Of The Sea From Blowing Up, forbid). Probably best if you cancel your plans to come visit, just to be safe. Besides, I won't be here! Lady Sigrid is sending me on a quest to find a mystical artifact that will fix everything!!! We're supposed to find a cup or goblet of some sort that's really powerful kind of like the Aur Xica, only not a sword so probably not very good for hitting people with. Pray to the God of Finding Goblets for me; the more prayers Mixi gets the more likely we are to be successful. The princes and some other strange people are coming to, so don't you worry about me. We'll keep each other safe, them with their swords, me with my spells.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">One of the tall folks that is traveling with me is called Janan, and guess what?! He's Blank's son!!! He seems really fun. He's almost like one of us with the jokes he pulls. He told Kheriim (another human though she was raised by the verrik, weird) that whales are magic and grant wishes! He likes to get drunk and set things on fire, but it's okay cause Prince Leif keeps it from getting too far out of hand. Speaking of Leif and Janan, I saved the Prince's life today! Janan said something not too nice about Lady Sigrid, and so Leif and Janan got in a fight. Then Janan put a knife to the prince's throat! I made him drop it though.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">I don't think I like water-ships. I spent the whole first day bent over the rail making offerings to the Goddess of Sea Sickness. Chulda must have been appeased though because I was fine the next day. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Our first stop was Ao-Manasa. We went to see Taevin and ask if he knew anything about the Goblet. He didn't, but he did know something about a magic Staff (or is it Stave) that was connected to the Heart, so make sure to add a prayer to Mixi's brother Wixi so we can find this Staff. I figure if we want to find the staff we should look for an island full of bees (prayers to Rinaloo would help), but instead we decided to go to the Tomb of Ozymandius. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Chulda took pity on me and I didn't get sick this time. I even took a turn at watch duty up in the crow's nest (wonder why they call it that, I didn't see any crows up there, I haven't even seen any since we left land, can crows swim?). The trip was very uneventful until the end. Kheriim was looking over the edge (maybe she was making an offering to Chulda too) and a white pudding tried to eat her face! We chopped it up but that just made things worse because now there were two of them.. then four.... Prince Leif killed it though, with a blast of magic. Then HE started to yell at me for not having attack spells! Leif spends too much time with Soern if you ask me.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Don't worry mum. I'll be fine.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Your loving son,</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';">Aed Godfinder</span></span></div></div>Foolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14818269619668724375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313848273052421559.post-33791563722575071622009-06-12T22:54:00.000-07:002009-06-12T23:26:51.816-07:00Diplomatic Log 2Contact was made with the representative from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Chak</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Itzin</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span">one <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ket</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Takchitan</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span">. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Discussio</span></span>n was limited due to representative being more concerned with potential retribution from Thunder God, than with real diplomacy.

It has the power to control bees. (and does other stuff, but really, BEES. obviously more important. and awesome.)<br /><br />Janan convinces Kheriim to go to a bar with the rest of them. (Leif is there to stop bad stuff from happening?)<br />Halden tries to start a fight with the whole bar.<br />Janan tries to seduce Halden while fighting him.<br />Halden passes out, really really drunk.<br />Janan and Aed start fighting about...something...semantics, mainly, on the return to the boat.<br />Kheriim ends up casting a spell, as does Leif, in order to convince them to return faster.<br />(Also at some point Janan inadverdantly implies that Sigrid sleeps around and Leif attacks him to defend his mother's honor. Janan is very confused by having somehow given insult and is Not Pleased with being attacked--ends up with a knife to Leif's throat and Aed's magical intervention.)<br />First plan is to find an island full of bees. Second, more logical plan is to make sail for the tomb of Ozymandius.<br />On the way, we are attacked by a White Pudding. (much more vicious than it sounds) We eventually prevail, but not without Janan ending up hanging upside down from the crow's nest and Kheriim sulking a hundred feet up. Good times. :D<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Notes:</span><br />Ridalou-god of finding island full of bees (spelling?)<br /><br />scrap of paper found by Leif in <span style="font-style: italic;">Wines of the South:</span><br /><blockquote>…(torn)…simply destroyed the Staff, and indeed, it has not been seen in a long …(smudged)…doubt that an item of such power could be destroyed by such a man, at least without any fanfare or record.<span style=""> </span>This is particularly so when considering the nature of the Staff’s reputed powers…(smudged)…on several occasions that the object would bring doom upon any would-be destroyer.<span style=""> </span>In any event, it is also known that the priest, Tai Lakquar, disappeared unexpectedly during the early…(smudged)…that he was a victim of Meren’s political ambitions, close as he had been to the new emperor’s father, but perhaps…(torn)…</blockquote><p></p><br />info on scrap of paper as determined by Aed with object loresight:<br /><ul><li>2000 years old</li><li>Last touched by: Leif</li><li>Race of last to touch: human</li><li>Creator: Tai Qualir</li><li>Race of creator: human</li><li>Purpose: to preserve knowledge</li><li>Made of: paper/ink</li><li>Location: Xanadu Library</li></ul><br />info from Taevin about staff:<br /><ul><li>forged for the first emperor of the hora quan</li><li>Before the Aur Xica, son of first emperor created that</li><li>Had a number of powers: storm controlling, attuned to positive energy, controlled bees</li><li>Everyone assumes son had staff destroyed or hidden, because son went bad </li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Quotage:</span><br />"...Pantsless engineering?" -Oddysey, re: some note in her dm prep [context? what context?]<br /><br />"...I think we're going to consume alcohol." -Artemis, <span style="font-style: italic;">Kheriim</span><br />"Sweet."-Oddysey, <span style="font-style: italic;">Halden</span><br /><br />"What is this...watch?" -Artemis, <span style="font-style: italic;">Kherriim</span><br />"Watch!

Eventually, one of a generation is ruthless enough, clever enough, or well-liked enough that they are chosen to be the next Don (by the current Don). Don Marko’s first name also happens to be Don, and he won his status through more benevolence than ruthlessness. That is not to say he is any sort of pushover or pacifist. He is a fair person… for a pirate from Gorzam.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Don Marko is a few years younger than Blank, and has only been Don for about 15 years. Before that, he was in the traditional second-in-command position, running the Black Market on Gorzam’s main street. In the year 7, Iliam assassinated the old Don, and tried to claim that title as his own. But most of the inhabitants (and all of the Family patriarchs) recognized Don Marko instead. With the help of Blank, Don Marko hunted down and defeated Iliam. Shortly after, the Hora Quan officially annexed Gorzam.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Gang War:</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Year 16: Two Brothers, Maurice and Gabriel Antolini, have a falling out at age 18. They become bitter rivals, and opposing gangs form around them. As time goes on, Maurice becomes more violent and ruthless, more than the Family usually is. There is a bar run by Maurice’s gang that is rumored to have rum, despite the shortage. It’s very expensive though, and has tight security. Gabriel stays true to the old ways, though he is less lenient when dealing with his brother’s gang.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Year 20: Patriarch Pazzesco disappears one moonless night. He is found months later, wearing animal skins and wielding a staff while chanting to a fire, in the footsteps of the mountainous region to the northeast. He is convinced to come back to Gorzam, but he begins recruiting people into his cult. Little is known about the cult, other than they occasionally lure Yetis down from the mountains to cause havoc, and that they have cabals out in the mountains footsteps.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>Year 22: Gabriel becomes less patient, Maurice becomes more aggressive, and Pazzesco is becoming a greater problem, though he is seen less and less in Gorzam. Don Marko is trying to keep the peace and remain neutral, but he fears that a cleansing bloodbath is inevitable.</o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Geography:</p> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxg7s7RS6cBk4hfcKvydIihd3gMUfrsZs9gDGiTBkAJ36uYRSpzh2aWMiPyKDGbeoJ04k4PELEAM0KypMD4iKm3dYZx_mHsiY8MNyRXqShCaYI2oU8fAEdsK2cM0ay-DUlKsKKkzl7wXA/s1600-h/Gorzam.bmp"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 277px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxg7s7RS6cBk4hfcKvydIihd3gMUfrsZs9gDGiTBkAJ36uYRSpzh2aWMiPyKDGbeoJ04k4PELEAM0KypMD4iKm3dYZx_mHsiY8MNyRXqShCaYI2oU8fAEdsK2cM0ay-DUlKsKKkzl7wXA/s400/Gorzam.bmp" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343928995530772258" /></a><p class="MsoNormal">The city is on the southern end of the island.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>There is a main street that goes from the main port (1) to the black market city section (2), then angles to the east. The black market city section is where Don Marko’s headquarters are, and the family has a tight hold on that section. South of that section on the west side of the main street (3) is controlled by Maurices gang. The entire city on the east side of the main street (4) is where Gabriel has the most influence. The north section (5) is controlled by Pazzesco and his cult. That is to say, Pazzesco has little presence elsewhere, and it is the area with the most Yeti problems.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Outside of the city, to the west, is the rural area (6), where people lead a very similar life to those in the city, only they live on and operate farms, and are less affected by the politics of town, and more dominated by personal control of ones own farm. On the west coast of the island, is the Pirate Cove (7), currently under tight security by an unknown pirate. North of those areas is the Frozen Wastes (8), which are designated by no other geographical marker than it’s where things stop growing, so the rural folk have no reason to venture in there. North east, are the mountains (9), where vicious creatures such as Yetis, and some reclusive humanoids live in caves.</p>AJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04127099767732603189noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313848273052421559.post-62167878228793026362009-06-05T11:46:00.000-07:002009-06-05T12:07:26.591-07:00Memo to Soern Re: Heart of the SeaMaster <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Soern</span> here are the readings of the Heart you requested.<div><br /></div><div><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Midmorn</span> : 5500 mega-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">thaums</span>.

Soon after having arrived in Xanadu opportunities presented themselves. Upon arrival to the summit, we were greeted by the Lady of the New Hora <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Quan</span> Empire. Once preliminary talks ended, she stormed off to put an end to another gathering that apparently was called by Commandant Blank and/or the younger prince. A mere two decades in, and already the empire seems to be suffering power struggles. <div>After the Lady and Commandant returned, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kheriim</span> was sent along with the presumed heir on his trip to calm the empire's Commandant, presumably with alcohol. The <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">reliance</span> of such a highly placed officer on this substance may prove to be an opportunity to be exploited later if necessary.</div><div>Lord <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Gannen</span> was suspiciously absent for the entire greeting <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ceremony</span>. He did appear for the dinner but barely spoke or moved. He did not seem well, and preliminary observation suggests that he may not last long. Dinner was interrupted by the sudden entrance of a man claiming to represent the rebels of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Skaraven</span>. Lady Sigrid avoided making any promises but seemed sympathetic to their plight.</div><div>That evening the Lady created a group to hunt down a relic related to the Heart of the Sea. This group consists of both princes, along with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Skaraven</span> representative and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">magister's</span> apprentice. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Kheriim</span> was also sent with them, she seemed reluctant but it will allow her to develop a closeness to the heir. The Commandant's child was also sent along in order to keep the princess distant.

It's all for naught. Someone will always ruin everything anyway. And by "someone" I mean Commandant Blank. He knew I was having a peace summit and just couldn't leave well enough alone. He decided it would be an excellent time to throw a crazy party. I may have let it slide and written it off as another of his acts of idiocy, but he had to involve my son and create a nuisance in my city.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>So, I left my summit and shut down the party. It had to be done. I dragged Blank to the summit, seeing as he was *supposed* to be there in the first place, but quickly sent him away with Leif and the human ward of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Verrik</span> representative. Leif will never understand why <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Gannen</span> and I tolerate Blank in our Empire. Leif wasn't around 22 years ago, and I doubt I'll ever be able to fully explain to him the kinship of adventuring. Blank was essential in bringing back the Hora <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Quan</span> Empire. Without him, none of this would have happened. Without him, I wouldn't have <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Gannen</span>.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>So, anyway, after I sent Blank away, I left to double-check on dinner and get <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Gannen</span>. He had to make an appearance at dinner. It would look bad if the delegates who came to the summit never saw him, after all. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Gannen</span> seemed less than thrilled to see me. I know he doesn't like these dinners, especially now. We argued a little about why I'd had to have this summit anyway and why he had to go to this dinner. Unfortunately, we both knew he had to go.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>I wish I could say that dinner went off without a hitch, but of course it didn't. Blank and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Soern</span> had to go launching themselves out the window. I could have probably laughed that off and been fine, but then some guy burst into the banquet hall and started ranting about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">harrid</span>. After some confusion, I figured out that his name was Stavros. He lives in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Skaraven</span>, where they've apparently been having a lot of problems with the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">harrid</span> lately. I told him we could discuss the matter further after dinner, and order once again reigned supreme.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Soern</span> returned, followed shortly by Blank, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Anika</span>, and a teenage boy. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Soern</span> and Blank then decided it would be a good idea to start loudly telling a story about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Anika</span> and the boy (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Janan</span>, apparently <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Blank's</span> son) "hooking up" on his boat and somehow lighting it on fire. Yes, they decided to interrupt my dinner and bother my guests with this. If they're mad at my daughter for something, they could have come to me in private. I felt myself growing increasingly angry at Blank. Why does he insist on making my life even more complicated than it already is? I was about to explode. I was shaking with anger, about to just let Blank have it. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Gannen</span> must have sensed this and reached over and held my hand. It was a comforting act, and it was a restraining act. I looked over at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Gannen</span> and he slightly nodded, letting me know everything was fine. I calmed down. I invited Blank and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Soern</span> to take their seats again, effectively putting the subject to rest for the time being.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>At the end of the evening, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">Gannen</span> and I talked to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Soern</span>, who has been trying to arrange a meeting for awhile. Apparently there's something not-quite-right with the Heart of the Sea (though he doesn't quite know what). Whether this is related to the giant incursion last year remains to be seen. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Soern</span> thought we should try to find another <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">artifact</span> tied to the Heart (like the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Aur</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Xica</span>).</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Consulting <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Ghalib</span>, we discovered that there are at least four, though the only specific one he knows about is a magical cup. It's a relic of power and can heal, kill, and answer questions. (Note to self: Healing ability could be useful) Unfortunately, he doesn't know where the cup is.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>I'd love to go myself, unfortunately, that's out of the question at the moment. Instead I formed a task force. Leif and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Halden</span> are going. They have got to work through their problems with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">each other</span>. And even if they don't, if they're away at sea, at least I won't have to deal with the problems between them for a time. Besides, adventuring together might bring them closer. I've also sent <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">Janan</span>. I don't want him near <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">Anika</span>. Sending him away on a boat accomplishes that. I'm also sending <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">Aed</span> for some additional magical talent. I'm sending Stavros to give him a chance to prove his loyalty. I will be more than happy to assist him with his problems once he helps us with this. I've also sent <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">Kheriim</span>, the human ward of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Verrik</span>, to give them a chance to prove their honest intentions. They'll be going with Ax.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>I've given them the only leads we have. I suggested they talk to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">Taevin</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">Brightfind</span>. He's good at finding things. I also told <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">Halden</span> he could talk to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">Halas</span> as an absolute last resort. Hopefully these kids are as talented as I think, otherwise, we'll be needing a lot of pearls.</i></div>Drobihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05212055243162694350noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313848273052421559.post-2920902693497025692009-06-02T23:07:00.000-07:002009-06-02T23:07:00.983-07:00Session 1: Captain Blank's Guide to Parenting"Just because they're stupid, doesn't mean they're worthless."

She says it's a peace talk or something but it's pretty obvious that everyone there hates us. We keep fucking their stuff up, of course they do. But they don't even hate us enough to make it interesting. I mean, like, if war was going to be declared there or something, I would have gone. But it's all just "of course the giants respect Xanadu's sovereignty" and "Xanadu engages only in lawful border actions." Boring. And stupid. If people would just say what they meant it would be over a lot faster.<br /><br />Anyway. I "let" Blank throw his party and get drunk and trash the place, and that was pretty cool, even when mom showed up because at least it's a ruler of a small country who's shut down your party. Not everyone can throw a party like that. And then I got grounded again, which I was pretty much expecting but they always forget about it halfway through, and it doesn't matter anyway because I don't have any friends. At least it got me out of that stupid official dinner. Although that did end up being interesting, so that sucked.<br /><br />I wasn't there (duh) but this guy Stavros showed up from Skaraven or something, looking for help overthrowing whatever oppressive dudes hang out in the south. Mom'll probably figure out some way to get out of doing anything other than maybe sending a boat or two down, "because we have our own problems." (But mostly because Dad's stopped saying anything about stuff like that. Used to be every so often he'd sponsor a revolution or something just to get the fuck out of the city. Skaraven's too far away for him to do that, but still. I can see why he'd want to.)<br /><br />Oh, and Blank's ship caught on fire. Anika's fault. (Got to admit, that's better than some party. I need to find a way to upstage her.) And she was with this other dude Janan who claims to be Blank's son. Wouldn't surprise me.<br /><br />Figuring it out'll keep me busy. Mom drafted him into some task force along with that chick who came with the Verrik, Aed, Stavros, and Leif. And then she went and stuck me on it, too. I'm supposed to "get along" with Leif. How am I supposed to "get along" with someone who doesn't want to get along with me? He treats me like an idiot when he pays attention to me at all. (Hells, that was another reason to stay away from the reception/party/bullshit summit/thing.)<br /><br />Yeah . . . probably shouldn't have thrown that party. Getting stuck on a boat with Leif is way worse than getting grounded. At least Ax's there too.

He was sent away with Prince. Then there was a boat with Prince and Damn Pirate. Damn Pirate imbibed much alcohol. Alcohol is bad. Prince encouraged him. Prince is bad? Prince must be treated nice, even if Prince is bad.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">There was a dinner. There was more fish. There were other dead animals too. Damn Pirate and Scary Mage left through the window. They are very unorthodox. There was a man who came in who talked about Harrid. They eat people just like these people eat animals. The man was Strange. Strange also ate dead animals. Damn Pirate and Scary Mage came back with Trouble and Likes Fire. There was much yelling.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Later, Glowy Lady formed a group with Trouble, Likes Fire, Priest, Strange, and Prince. Kaperi says to go. A magic cup must be found.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';">Kaperi says to go.
