The group wanders back to the entrance of the IAC, still looking mindfully about the empty building. It must have been quite the place in its time, with alchemists and tinkerers rubbing elbows, discussing their research and furthering the fields of study. Now, like much of Daunton, it is...

Great! Sounds like we are in agreement. Off to the Buttered Bun!

Well, we haven't heard from Son of Meepo in a bit, but everyone has checked in otherwise. So what is the plan? Where to next? Get on a boat with Vermitrax? Explore another location? Succumb to the evil seeping into the core of Daunton?

I think that is very strange a whole city decides to leave... :devil:

Whew! That was a lot to type. Let's give you a chance to interact, ect.

The group more or less moves around the desk, looking to at least glimpse at the book. No particular runes are apparent. No traps, weight dependent mechanisms or collapsing ceilings are detected. In fact, it looks like a book. The number 14 is written on the cover. Vermitrax evidently...

If someone wants to read the book, let me know. I will "read" for the person, assuming they want to read it to the rest of the party members.

The group enters the building somewhat tentatively, but soon discover the concerns are unwarranted. The building is empty of inhabitants. True to anticipation, the internal aspects of the IAC is much larger than would appear from the outside. The entrance hall itself stretches sixty feet...

After Lilli's purposeful manipulation of spells, the gargoyles slowly move back to their previous poses and stop moving. With a click, the door lock opens and the door swings inward. Challenge passed. I know that particular test was more mage oriented, but it is an Arcane institute. :) I'm...

Vermitrax's magical energies upon the runes now clarifies the meaning. The runes are (from left to right) Light, Force, Sound, Manipulation. Vermitrax tried to activate or influence the runes through pure magical energy, but it appears the runes need a direct application of magic of the...

Make sure you guys are also checking the OOC thread for discussions. Not sure if everyone is signed up to receive updates for it as well.

Welcome back L.S.! No worries, post when you can.

Man it's like I killed everyone with one post :eek:. You guys (or at least one of you) has the information you needed for the skill challenge to now disarm the trap. If you aren't sure how to proceed, feel free to share in character, or 'ooc' in this thread.

Well I'm happy to see everyone has checked in for the first part of the adventure! Thanks for all the great posts.

The collection of heroes pause just a moment after the gargoyle moves, then immediately start assessing the situation for options and threats. Vermitrax leaps from the cart and runes appear around him. The runes of the gargoyles do seem to respond to the necromancers magic. The runes on their...

Lilli appreciated two immediate changes. The IAC building is now mounted by four long gargoyles that were not there the last time she was here. They stand around the faux windows in the front of the building, two on each side. You seem to have activated some type of defense mechanism as you...

The walk to the Institute is fairly event free. Not a soul in the group doesn't feel the hair raising sensation on the nape of their necks that as if someone close-by was watching them. Lilli leads the group steadily down the street through Old Daunton and into Cobblestop. The creak and thunk...

Indeed, as the elven paladin indicates, there is a party member lagging behind. The cart and its menagerie linger at the end of the street from the Hanged Man. As the group slows to wait, the scouting members already appreciate something isn't right. The shadows seem to move... Like the...

dimsdale okay I think we're ready then, please post in the adventure thread and we'll be off on our adventure!

Joy sits down heavily on one of the dirty benches, her hand to her head. Although difficult to tell given her iris-less eyes, it appears she is having trouble focusing. "Lerrick, the others were about to leave on a mission to find out what happened. How so much time has passed since we were...
