(Adventure) Retrieval of Fallon's Key (Macbeth Judging)

[Snipehunt]

"Errr," Llolian says as Iggy and Sara walk away. "Okay, then." Always cautious, he readies his longbow. One of the escorts would have reassured us if there really was no chance of dangers, he thinks. He follows Sara and Iggy, assuming the heavily armored could guard themselves, and knowing Sebastion can look after himself.

 

[JDragon]

Sebastian dismounts and thanks the "driver" for the safe rideand wishes him well.

He then takes a quick inventory to make sure everything has survived the journey, rearranging a few things to make sure he has easy access to everything.

He then takes a quick look around to take in the surroundings and follows the rest of the group.

 

[Mithreander]

The group moves off towards the woods in the east, lead by the boy. Just beyond the clearing and the first layer of trees is a well worn path that the boy turns to follow. After about an hour the group sees a huge rent in the ground, a canyon. On the other side of the canyon they can see the sea pour into the crevace trying to fill it, and in other places, geysers of water shooting out of the crevice to return the water to the sea in a constant effort to stop the rushing sea.

Walking further up the trail, the group sees that it leads directly to the edge of the cliff, and as they get closer, the constant storm of water batters at their ears. On the oposite side of the crevace (which had to be at least a mile wide), you notice a ship riding one of the gysers to the sea and then sailing off of the top into the deeper sea and away.

Looking down into the crevace, the group sees, first bridges made out of the most beautiful quarts and marbles, expanding from one side of the crevice to the other. On either side of the crevace there are buildings of the same material that sparcle in the setting son on one side and shaded in darkenss on the other.

Further below, where the sun does not hit, lights sparkle an aray of paterns where streets, homes and shops are, some 1000 feet down. Where the sea meetsthe floor of the canyon, a pool of water stands with dock for ship lay in wait for cargo. SOme are waiting to hitch a ride up a gyser for the sea, while others ride gysers down to the docks.

In one corner of the city, towers can be seen by the patterns of lights, elegant and full of grandiour. In another part of the city, a single building sits dominating that area, shaped like a start for it's many halls.

There is a nearow set of stairs that lead down this side of the cliff to the city below.

"Welcome to Fallon, the city of Falls." the elven lad says with a look of pleasure. He quickly makes his way to the stairs and motions for the others. "Come on! My father is sure to have heard new of your arival by now!"

 

[Manzanita]

Iggy

Iggy is agape at the site of Fallon. "Clearly this is a place where the mightiest wizards reside. I have much to learn."

Trusting his halfling surefootedness more than Sara's sobriety, he smiles, and motions her to go first. He will then follow Sara closely.

 

[Kahuna Burger]

Iggy is agape at the site of Fallon. "Clearly this is a place where the mightiest wizards reside. I have much to learn."

"Yeah," sara says giving him a playful shove, "like how to not act like a tourist!" She winks then allows herself a long stare of her own. "Do you think that this is all by magic iggy? And is it magic that's been cast and will keep doing this, or are there wizards like you working to keep it all running right now?"

Trusting his halfling surefootedness more than Sara's sobriety, he smiles, and motions her to go first. He will then follow Sara closely.

Having failed in her attempts to smuggle a mug unspilled through takeoff, Sara is fairly sober after the ride, but is still somewhat reckless in her decent. She holds up though to let the halfling keep pace with her, when she realizes he doesn't want to play the "how many steps can I take at a time without tumbling to my death" game.

 

[Gurdjieff]

Ah, Fallon, finally. Rogier follows Sara and Iggy in decending the stairs, yet he doesn't go as reckless as Sara does. Well Iggy, I think this is the right place for you if you want to learn anything about magic, as there must be powerful wizards here, being able to keep this city as it is.

 

[Lichtenhart]

Serene Wind follows the party, staring openmouthed at the landscape, totally entranced with the magnificent city, while his agile bare feet hurry down the stairs.

 

[JDragon]

Sebastian stands atthe top of the cliff for several minutes watching the goings on of the ships & the city before starting the climb down.

He apears very sure footed and unconcerned about the narrow stairs. Not even taking the time to really watch where he is walking as he goes.

 

[Mithreander]

Decending down the south face of the crater, the party soon find themselves in complete darkness, the walls hiding the sun prematurely.After about 4 flights of stairs, the group starts to pass enterances to the cliff side where gnomes can be seen moving from time to time. After another 20 stories the holes seem to stay the same, but the inhabitants seem to be dwarves. Lights seem to glow from random parts of the cliff side, though no light source is visible. Eventually, the group reaches the bottom of the crator, some 111 flights of stairs later.

As the characters moved further down, the stairs became wider, until finally when they reach the ground a street continues from them without any noticable wideneing in the road.

The streets are also lit with the globes of light that seem to hover abover the streets every so often. The elven lad leads you down this street and then turns on a street cobbled with marble stones. No beast of burden are seen anywhere in the city that the characters can see as they travel, though they can smell cooked meet from some of the taverns that they pass.

The population of this bustling city seems to be mainly human, though a good variety of other humanooids can be seen, including kobolds, goblins (though they keep wide stances betwen each other), orcs and even one ogre.

 

[JDragon]

Sebastian continues to follow the party thru the city. Keeping an eye out for anyone that may not wish them well or eyeing their purses.
