The leading abhuman shifts in place, looking very agitated. "They created the Wellspring," it says, pointing to the stone-lined spring in the floor. "They did not create the Womb." And here it gestures to the rest of the complex. -- Given that Duncan and Xiaon were busily punching the...

Xaion tackles the creature askew, knocking it down and away from the spring. Its wounds are partially closed - it's no longer bleeding, but the flesh gapes in a sickening fashion. With the creature down, Duncan can add his weight to restraining it, though it still clings to consciousness. The...

As others have said, foreshadowing. I'm playing a Forgotten Realms (3.5) game, and early on I planted the idea about Skullport, a sort of underground Tortuga combined with Mos Eisley, as a place of danger, run by monsters and villains. I mostly was doing this for flavor when I was describing...

Echo takes a look at the map, and realizes most of the glow about it has disappeared. It seems to be having the same trouble as Graygoo. But there is one odd thing, if you bring a little closer to the great geyser of the spring, a thread of silver light traces across the map, from the area...

Duncan, as you reach the bottom of the stairs, things clearly just got... interesting. There are two statues of tall beings, but the third one is somehow free of his statue status and is gripping Ohm by the jaw, while holding its other hand out to Xaion, who seems to be in some small discomfort...

Ullara Halx, female human druid with dog companion Bran Ullara had been certain those thorns were about to strike her when suddenly they had missed her, like fate had just dragged them a few inches away for no reason. Then they had raked Eban fiercely, but she kept going at his cry, knowing...

Echo, as you looked down at Graygoo, your little silver puddle pet is looking rather... flat, as if it can't muster up the energy to form shapes with its usual enthusiasm. It still follows you, but at a slower pace. Seregal, you take a look around the room. You quickly realize it is tightly...

You hear some strange noises deep within the earth when you play some combinations, and with a couple of them, the white light changes colors briefly. With one, air blows around the chamber in a slow circle. With another, you feel oddly heavy and ill. But there is a particular combination...

Echo, you also feel a bit odd. You have the strangest sensation, when you pass into the area near the spring and head downstairs, as if someone who had been watching you so long you'd forgot they were there, had suddenly closed their eyes. Neither you nor Duncan feel ill or weak, just... very...

The thorns rake across Ullara's back, drawing blood, but she manages to keep her feet from the uneven ground. She grits her teeth against the sound, keeping her mind clear with her recitations, and swats at the bloody thorns with her staff, knocking them askew. Bran fares better, not getting...

Session 29 Session 29 When we last left our intrepid heroes, they had pledged themselves to do a task for Istishia’s church to repay them for raising Shandri from the dead. After Shandri had spent some time recovering, she eventually rejoined the group, albeit permanently scarred from the...

Session 28.5 Charissa had decided to do something, take some action, make a change, to deal with the guilt she felt over Shandri's death. After speaking with Brother Jehain, she has decided it has been more than time enough to face her own past and use that heritage to protect her friends...

Duncan, as you step past the spring and down the stairs, you feel faintly... heavy. And a touch queasy. As the sounds of technology drop away, you are suddenly excruciatingly aware of every place in your body your enhancements touch. It's an unsettling sensation.

Those who go bounding (or walking, or striding) down the steps can see what Ohm sees, the stone figures around the spring, the crystals surrounding the flow. Ohm, you walk around the room, examining things closely. The statues are incredibly detailed, but given the oddly primitive nature of...

Session 28 When we last left our intrepid heroes, they were going to interrogate Little Antler, the young priest of Beshaba who had been working with Jayrin (or the wax golem equivalent thereof). While William and Charissa went slowly looking for the Watch, the rest of the group bound up the...

Session 26.5 - Evelyn's Days Off While the rest of the group was tracking Father Geb through the sewers and a pirate ship, Evelyn was doing something else. The first part of this was my e-mail to the player about what Evelyn was up to, and the second part is the results of a one-on-one...

Ullara and Bran manage to duck and avoid the worst of the branches, Ullara fiercely mouthing the words to the cures she'd been taught as a girl. She even swipes her staff at the trees, but mostly ends up flailing. Bran, however, snaps decisively at the branches, chomping several. Ullara...

Where is Ohm, indeed? :devil: *chinhands* It's so fun to see how you guys interpret this machine. :D It probably won't eat you. Probably.

Ohm, you walk down the ancient worn stone steps, everything about carved stone walls indicating both incredible age and a sophisticated execution of some incredibly primitive techniques. You realize the area around the spring, and this door and passageway, show no marks of manufacture or...

As you pass it, you notice the entire rock circle around the spring is constructed in an unusual fashion. You've seen rocks cut by precision metal tools, by lasers, by plasma, by vibro-wire, and even stranger things. These rocks look painstakingly crafted and carefully chipped by some of the...
