RURITAIN AND THE ASPTOOTHS

Ruler: Queen Matilda (from 2221 AR), formerly King Ozzar.

The coastal city of Ruritain, one of the first settlements built by the Atlanteans, is under perpetual siege from the surrounding wilderness. The jungles west of the Asptooth mountains seem to breed monsters faster than Ruritain’s forces can cut them down, and everything north of the Fortress of Jutana and south of Tervidium is lost to civilization. The Asptooths (locals know that only outsiders use the term “Aspteeth”) aren’t particularly tall mountains, but they’re among the continent’s steepest; the mountain range is an impenetrable wall to east-west land travel.

Ruritain: This small city-state exerts control along the peninsula’s eastern coast, but the other towns are besieged by monsters coming from the mountains, and dissatisfied with Ruritain’s promises of  protection. Almost everyone who comes to Ruritain does so by sea. Ruritain’s troops try to clear-cut the jungles by day, and wearily guard the walls of their city by night.

Tervidium: This town cooperates with Ruritain on matters of trade, though Tervidium is increasingly worried about the dangerous jungle to the south and wonders whether a closer alliance with Katagia might bring more protection.

Ruins of Nahyra-Tor: Until 2214 AR this was a thriving town, and it still appears as a useful harbor on most maps. But the jungle has swallowed it whole, and it looks like civilization left there decades ago. Infested with beastmen, the ruins may still hold treasures for anyone willing to reclaim it.

Hetarus Academy

Moving slowly through the crowd of admirers, Laxus has time to chat with his new fans. One in particular catches his eye, a pretty young Wizard apprentice who introduces herself as Dawn Wintersmorn. Dawn: "I'd so love to learn more! I'm studying with Hetarus at his college, if you have time to meet?" ~bats eyelashes~

Dawn Wintersmorn of Hetarus Academy, Atlantean, part Elf?



 
Academy Master Hetarus, Atlantean, Sage of Ruritain, once student of Hyar Thomel. Diviner.

Academy Student Inobae, Kalayan

Academy Scolar, Master Luthorin, Dhari/Atlantean. Invoker


Academy Student Mia, Kalayan

Academy Student Grunhilda of the Thousand Teeth, Nimothan

Academy Scholar, Mistress Serasewa, Atlantean/Kalayan. Transmuter


 
Dawn: "Goodnight, Prince Laxus!" Grunhilda: "Goodnight - see you tomorrow, for our studies!" Mia & Inobae also wave goodnight as the four file up the steps and into the dorm. Mistress Serasewa watches them go then turns to Laxus, beaming proudly. "They're good girls, really. Very dedicated. Hetarus Academy educates in Philosophy and Morality, as well as Arcana. When they return to their fathers, they will each be a great asset to their families."

Sessions 44-46 Thule Finale M2 2215 AR

 Vorstag makes friends with 'Viondor' (the Rakshasa Shilpatel) despite her betrayal attempts. Vorstag & Finnris help Viondor defeat attacking Hyperboreans, killing Cryllor dra-Ignith and capturing two Pale Hand Reavers. Return to Quodeth with gifts from Viondor including tomes of Atlantean history. Knowledge gained from the Hyperborean captives reveals much of the Pale Hand and its plans; Grand Vizier Dredan Taroth believes this may avert the coming of the Great Doom for decades at least.

Session 43 To the Lost Tower. XP 8-12-16

 28/1: Joined by magically-transported Zerda, heroes & giants ambush Hyperboreans & Frost Corpses near the cliffs, defeating scout group killing a Hyperborean & 10 frost corpses. The main Hyperborean force retreats to find another way, giving the group about a day's head start. Head inland.

30/1: Travelling up into the mountains upriver, around mid-day reach a rift gorge.

As the river valley ascends into the interior of Nimoth, the

snowfields which once dusted the shoulders of the hillsides

slowly creep lower and lower until they reach the valley

floor. Dark peaks streaked with snowfields and hanging

walls of ice loom close by, peeking over the hills on either

side of the Dauthur’s valley. The vegetation that was plentiful

in the lower valley has dwindled to dwarf pines, lichen,

and clumps of scrub grass clinging to crevices in the rock.

Crusted snow lingers in every shadowed eave, and the

backwaters of the river are now iced over in places. Even

amid the rapids a rime of ice lingers.

Ahead of you, the river passes through a narrow canyon

between 100-foot cliffs. The canyon is only about 30 feet

wide at its floor, and the river fills it with a swift, strong

stream.

A narrow valley with ruins and a tower atop high cliffs, snowy ruins on the valley floor. 

Beyond the canyon lies a small, steep-sided vale. To the

west, the Drauthur descends down from a great snowfield

on the flanks of a mountain—this is the source of the river.

To your east, on the shoulder of the mountain, stands a battered

stone tower of ancient workmanship, proud and lonely

amid the snows. Directly ahead of you on the valley floor lie

the snowy ruins of several stone buildings, clustered around

a large cave mouth in the wall of the vale underneath the

looming tower. Wisps of steam escape from the cave.

A fierce manticore attacks, but is stunned by Kasumi and swiftly slain. A steamy cave leads up into the roots of the Lost Tower.


The cave rises more than 100 feet into the side of the

crag. A small rivulet of hot water trickles down the passage

from the interior. About halfway along its length, the

passage transitions from a natural fissure to a large, circular

tunnel 15 feet in diameter bored out of the rock. At the

end of the tunnel, you find a mass of iron pipes and valves,

dripping with scalding water. In the middle of the pipes sits

a 6-foot-tall round metal hatch with a round hand-wheel in

its center. The hatch evidently leads deeper into the mountain,

but it isn’t clear what the purpose of the pipes around

it might be. There is also a large automaton armored in

heavy iron plates that stands in front of the piping and the

hatch. It regards you in silence.

Jelly:For the moment at least.
Simon N. (GM):GM: OK, Rollo finishes off the rats
Pinella & Laxus get the north west door open
Jelly:Phew!
Laxus Draugnir:"Pinella please tell me thats a door out and not to another room"
Simon N. (GM):They see a chamber with two stone spikes jutting from the walls 3' up the walls. A skeleton lies between them with two spike sized punctures in its bronze breastplate.
Uloc & Beskar seize the fabulous wealth of the man-beasts as no one else wanted to search their room :)
Laxus Draugnir:lol
Simon N. (GM):Jelly note Uloc gets a gold & diamond ring v 142 gp & 81 gp.
Jelly:Oooh, lizard bling!
Simon N. (GM):Beskar gets 49 gp
Jelly:They deserve it, to be fair!
Laxus Draugnir:(damn those werebeast are stacked XD)
Simon N. (GM):GM: assuming you take 6 rounds searching & healing, I'll do some rolls
Laxus Draugnir:"something tells me this is a trap room the only question is is it still operational?"
Pinella:"I agree - looks suspicious."

Simon N. (GM):Trobb: "OK, no ring bell... if you want out, there's a secret door there."
Jelly:Uloc will close and lock door.
Simon N. (GM):You don't have any keys
Laxus Draugnir:"i rather not can i meet this Dark Odo personally?"
Jelly:In that case Uloc will just close the door.
Yesss, we wish to pay our respectssssss to the Misstressss.
Laxus Draugnir:"baricade the door Uloc with the tables or chairs or stuff"
Simon N. (GM):Trob: "You want to meet Dark Odo? Why?"
Jelly:Uloc will do as Laxus instructsm using the chairs inside the room to bar the door.
Droghall:"magic cool"
Simon N. (GM):GM: You can hear doors opening to the east & movement
Laxus Draugnir:"i wish to make a deal with her and i may ask why is her froup doing in this abandoned ruin int he first place?"
Simon N. (GM):Trob: "Mudras must have gone to tell Odo you're here... OK follow me."
Droghall:"oky doky"
Simon N. (GM):Trob: "We're looking for a way to get the Sandlandder treasure without waking all the skels..."
Droghall:"big problem"
"we do bad"
Simon N. (GM):Trob leads you through a spartan bedchamber.
Trob: "Bad?"
Droghall:"bones break much"
Laxus Draugnir:"it means nothing Dwarf friend"
Simon N. (GM):Trob opens the far door and steps through.
A bunch of adventurer types are assembled round a huge pile of silk cushions on which lounges a beautiful dark sorceress puffing on a hookah,
To the north coloured lights shine through the mist of a waterfall.
Dark Odo rises from her lounge.
Odo: "Greetings, travellers. What brings you to my home?"
The chamber is sumptuously furnished with rugs and tapestries, a rather tacky statuette of a mage holding a crystal ball made of real pearl stands atop a chest by the east wall.
Simon N. (GM):The lights come from coloured lanterns on a ledge along the north wall, shining through the waterfall spray.
Laxus Draugnir:"i thank you for the opportunity of this meeting i wish to make a deal with you in exchange for my group exiting from these ruins"
Simon N. (GM):Odo: "Oh yes?"
Jelly:OOC we should get them to go back and open the skeleton door :-)

Simon N. (GM):Laxus you see 2 toadmen watching you from the pool.
Jelly:(I think Bless is still on?)
Laxus Draugnir:"curentlly your head is wanted by the atlantean baron of Tallas, if i may ask why is that?"
Simon N. (GM):Odo: "Borealis? I've never done him any harm."
"I did once serve his enemy, Baroness D'hmis, but we had a falling out."
"Did he send you here?"
Laxus Draugnir:"No rumors only why would i be a service to an atlantean lord"
Pinella:whispers "Don't trust her Laxus - she's a powerful Sorceress - she charmed Amdor!"
Simon N. (GM):Odo nods. "Of course."
Laxus Draugnir:does a thumbs up behind his back
Droghall:"magic cool"
Simon N. (GM):Odo puffs on the hookah. "This Virughan Violet lotus expands the senses... a can hear hundreds of skeletons roaming the catacombs, sigh"
Slaine:OOC LOL
Simon N. (GM):Odo: "You must have killed the guardian - the Sussurus?"
Droghall:"me Finnish him"
Slaine:The ssssssusssssurussssssssssssssssss, yesssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Droghall:"me also smash a lot of bones"
Laxus Draugnir:"my apoligies my lady one of our own got to greedy for his own good rest assured he got what he deserves"
Simon N. (GM):Odo: "I see."
"Apology accepted."
Laxus Draugnir:"i wish for an alliance between our groups i doubt you want to start a fight in your very own room"
Simon N. (GM):"Alliance? To what end?"
ooc will be ending shortly for today
Laxus Draugnir:"i know you make many enemies from your previous mistresss as well with the atlanteans i doubt you find peace in this part of the Claw"
Slaine:OOC Muizz just to check are you doing a double bluff on Odo?
OOC understood Simon.
OOC is our aim to kill her by letting loose the skeletons or do you think an alliance is actually a good idea?
Laxus Draugnir:ooc trying to get our group out is my current priority
Slaine:OOC got it.
Laxus Draugnir:ooc skelentons and backstabbing later
"i am not only and elf but a boble of Imystral and knight of the silver sword my name alone can help you and your group gain sanctuary in elven lands"
ooc damn rushed type
ooc noble*
Simon N. (GM):Odo: "That's very kind of you. I shall consider your offer. For now, you may depart via the prison cells, since the southern route is presumably blocked by six hundred and fifty skeletons."
Droghall:"you have food? velo hungry"
Laxus Draugnir:sigh? "did the skelentons spread that far?*"
Slaine:You are too kind, Missssstresssss.
Simon N. (GM):Odo ignores Droghall. Velo roots around in a knapsack & finds some iron rations.
OOC ok I'm stopping now, hopefully have Matt back next time
Have 4 CP & 1 HP
Slaine:OOC thanks Simon! So is the skellies escaping a regular occurrence? Odo didn't seem surprised!
Laxus Draugnir:she seem to have high psychic energy from smoking the pipe
Simon N. (GM):She knew the Susurrus kept them asleep
bye now!
Slaine:And actually she's probably high level enough to be able to deal with them anyway!
Bye Simon, same time next week?
Droghall:bye
Slaine:Bye Bill and Muizz!
White Valyrian:bye Simon
Bye Jelly
