[QUOTE="Andrew Moreton, post: 7805437, member: 6920268"] We resume two weeks after the emergence of the Collossus. The players are concerned about what it may get up to in the dreaming and are somewhat relieved it has headed towards Ber. They are glad war with Danor has been averted but consider the position difficult, they know that the Ob was behind the Collossus and tried to sell that viewpoint but the line between Danor and the Ob is very blurred in the mind of the man on the street. The Smaller golems from the Bleak gate are enrolled as Students at the University and have aided Manuel in producing his steam suit. Power comes from a complicated boiler using direct links to the planes of fire and water which produces both steam to power the suit and hot water for the built in Expresso machine. Also built in are a Huge Tower shield, a 12 pounder cannon and a Nock Gun, the suit also has a scaled up Rifle for light combat. Retractable flasing blue lights and a steam siren are on the shoulders and the chest has an RHC Logo which can be reversed to produce a Bat logo. Somehow this 12 foot high thundering abomination of science is still stealthy and has solved the problem of how Ulvaar can sneak up on something, the suit carries him. El Kevin has plans to use it as a gun platorm shooting from its shoulders, he is dissapointed it is not Draconic in shape and would like one of his own. (The player realises he cannot but this does not stop El Kevin wanting a new toy). Nevla is less impressed at this technological marvel. I intend ot have a think about and side effects of the direct elemental link to the suit and see if the traits of the planes inspire me. Finally the group are briefed by Minister Harkover that there have been issues in the Risuri colony in Elfaivar, despite normally good relations two farms have been attacked by apparetnly Eladrin raiders (although there are no witnesses) and a hunting party bound for an area they had hunted before without issue was turned back by Eladrin Rajputs and a Dreadnought. The King wants them to go to the colony and resolve the issue prferably without conflict with the Eladrin even in this means arresting some colonists who have provoked the Eladrin. They were teleported too the colony with Manuel arriving in his shiny new Steamsuit much to the consternation of many locals, and Nevla who thought it would go down badly. Nevla had brought Isobel along as he had been curious to travel to an Eladrin Enclave particularly with Andrei being gone. Although after marching to the local RHC office he parked the Mecha surrounded by warning cones. Nevla spoke with the locals and discovered they knew little more than Harkover had briefed them on although they had better maps. The team decided their first effort should be to contact the Eladrin to avoid escalation and so set off to where the hunting party had met them, Isobel and the Mecha were left behind. The Mecha because it was probably annoying to the Eladrin and Isobel because she could not look after herself in a fight. On reaching the Jungle they marched in hoping not to get lost as they are rather an urban focused group with none of them possessing the survival skill, Not far into the woods a Dire Tiger ambushed them and tried to run off with El Kevin but a curse from Nevla and violence from everyone else got it beaten unconscious, Manuel was being careful they did not kill and Eladrin weretiger by mistake. After a bit more aimless wondering they ran into an ambush by an Eladrin war party who fortunately were willing to talk. They let the young charismatic and female Eladrin Nevla handle the talking and discovered that there had been attacks on the Eladrin as well, but convinced the Dreadnought in charge that Risur was not behind it and would try to stop the attacks, or at least convinced him enough to take the group to meet the leader of the enclave. They were blindfolded for the last part of the trip so they could not find their way to the enclave again, probably a needless precaution as they were already totally lost, except possibly for the lightning weasel. In the enclave they were given a house to rest in and told the Matriarch would see them in the morning so they looked around the enclave, guides keeping them away from anything vital but the weird group drew a crowd children to look at the strange people and young men to look at Nevla. They observed the male female ration was back up to about 3:1 , the lack of advanced technology and the pervasive use of magic. They also noticed the relatively large number of Fey and almost complete lack of other races they thought they saw a couple of half eladrin.

It is concluded that the attackers must be Ghouls who someone has disturbed. Again they travel back to the colony and look at arrival records and soon discover that a firearm equipped adventuring party arrived about a week before the attacks started , looking at Eladrin and Risuri maps they pick out the most likely area that someone could have poked an abandoned temple or similar and set out to search the area next time [/QUOTE]
