Quest #43 “The Next Obelisk?“

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"I will go. We are agreed that if we are not back in about 5 minutes everyone comes through after us? Can someone heal me some more?"

[Jernau35]

Crap. I just submitted a post here 5 minutes ago

Wes

"Obad Hai grants me magic to control temperature, but I can't do it today," say Wes.

"I only have one more healing spell left", he tells Tlachtga. "I'd like to save it in case one of us is severely injured and needs to be revived. However, I'm willing to go in your place".

OM - My spells need to be corrected.
Cure Serious Wounds is 4th level. So Wes should have 3/3 third level and 0/1 fourth level

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"I have 2 healing spells left but was holding for the same reason. I can go, at least with 2 healing spells I can help both of us if need be. Now, who is going with me?"

[OGRE MAGE]

OM - My spells need to be corrected.
Cure Serious Wounds is 4th level. So Wes should have 3/3 third level and 0/1 fourth level

Thanks! I keep forgetting that for some reason.

Do we have the final decision as to who will go through?

[kruk]

Cresty

I will go! You'll will need protection. The fighter stands with his hand resting on the hilt of his sword and the tip touching the floor.


Lerrick

The cleric stands. Who will receive my spell of protection from the cold?

[Rex]

Tlachtga

"Cast it on Cresty please Lerrick. When you are set we go."

Once Cresty is ready and Lerrick has cast her spell Tlachtga will step through.

[OGRE MAGE]

White Wasteland Destruction
Dark Ether
???, Darkness

A discussion is had and spells are cast.

While Princess, Wes, Elnaerel, and Lerrick look on, Tlachtga and Cresty disappear into the hanging white curtain, never to be seen again.

Actions?

We can take this action into your private threads from here on.

Lerrick: (C5) AC:5 25/28 0/5 first 5/5 second 2/2 third (Light Stone)
Tlachtga (D5) AC:7 28/35 6/6 first 2/5 second 3/3 third (Light Stone)
Princess AC:6 HP 5/5
Cresty: (F2) AC:4 17/17 RC:49
Elnaerel (C4) AC:3 26/30 1/5 first 4/4 second
Waesfaren (D6) AC:7 33/53 6/6 first 1/5 second 3/3 third 0/1 fourth

[Karaunios]

Elnaerel waits.

[Monsieur Rose]

The Princess

Assuming the curtain is still there...

"Huh. Did she say something about time being different on the other side? Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine."

She sits down to wait. "So once we get these mega things, and the one from Chauncey somehow, what are we going to do with them? Has anyone seen a place to put them? Or are we assuming they belong at the center of that map?"

[kruk]

Lerrick

The cleric thinks for a moment. Good questions. Normally Andron took charge of these questions. She pauses for a moment thinking of all of the missions that she and the mage have experienced over the last couple years. I wonder how things are going with Antron and the others?

[Jernau35]

Wes

"That was my thought", Wes says. "Or at least that the final portal would lead to a place that had a lot more answers. As this is the Domain of Obad Hai, I'm certain that he will reveal his plan to me in due time."

"Ah, yes now you mention it, she did say something about time. We can at least give them five minutes though. How far could they go in that short a time?"

[OGRE MAGE]

White Wasteland Destruction
Dark Ether
???, Darkness

Unsure about......well.......almost everything, the remainder of the group waits in the Dark Ether.

And waits......and waits.......and waits.

There is no sign of the pair who went through the white curtain.

Actions?

Lerrick: (C5) AC:5 25/28 0/5 first 5/5 second 2/2 third (Light Stone)

Waesfaren (D6) AC:7 33/53 6/6 first 1/5 second 3/3 third 0/1 fourth

[Monsieur Rose]

The Princess

She starts pacing and is visibly impatient. "That's five minutes, right? We should go."

The Princess is keen to go, but not so keen to go first.

[OGRE MAGE]

After what feels like ten times the 5 minutes pass, Cresty suddenly comes rushing back through the white curtain, apparently no worse for ware himself.

[Karaunios]

Only Monsieur Rose answered

Elnaerel rushes towards Cresty. "How are you doing? What did you see? Where's Tlatchga?"

[kruk]

Cresty

Come everyone! Tlatchga is currently being questioned by a...err...humaniod with a dragon head. Come quick everyone! He then turns to head back into the portal.

[Monsieur Rose]

The Princess

She raises a brow, shrugs, and then follows Cresty through the curtain.

[Karaunios]

Elnaerel "Alright... I hope it's not very cold over there." She follows.

[Jernau35]

Wes

Wes hurries along with the others.

Leaving Dark Ether
???, Cold[/b]

When the group walks through the portal, they find themselves in a narrow stone walled hall with statues and doors lining both walls.

Most of the statues are of dragons in different poses, while the doors are either of normal wooden make, or dark blank portals like you saw in the Ethereal tavern.

It feels terribly cold in this hall, the temperature low enough to freeze your breath when you exhale.

A single heavily clothed and armored HUMAN guard stands aside a particularly interesting and incredibly realistic looking dragon head doorway.

Tlachtga is there, speaking with the guard who appears to be growing tired of the back and forth so far.

He speaks cryptically. "Oh, is this your army now?"

Other than the doors and statuary, there is nothing else in this stone walled room.
