Age of Heroes - LR's Gestalt Game.

"It sounds the same, but my own vision stopped at the point of being consumed and then I came out of the revere and saw the image of Corellan Larethian while in a fully awakened state. Perhaps the difference can be attributed to the fact that Elves do not truely sleep, but rather enter a kind of meditative trance?"

 

[Shayuri]

"Mmmmnope," Ilshana says thoughtfully. "I didn't see all that either. I saw the maw, then got eaten by the jaw, and that was it. Woke up...well, kinda woke up. I figured it was still kind of asleep, because I don't usually see Tyche when I'm awake. But I didn't raise into the air like that."

She pauses, then adds, "What's really odd is that when I was being sucked into the monster's mouth...I was yelling and screaming in my head and trying to get away. But I could feel that my face was just smiling and calm as could be."

"Funny, that." She doesn't seem terribly amused though.

Silvanyck Wood Elven Bard/Warlock

"Funny, yeah, but not in a good way. Now that you mention it, I remember that too. It was very strange." Glancing at the others he asks, "Where are you all from? It seems we are an oddly diverse group, I am from the Lethyr forest in the east."

 

[Wrahn]

"The paralysis was the same for me. Things received as visions are not usually without meaning, it is probably a warning." The large man says thoughtfully.

"My people come from the mountains to the west and south of here, but I haven't been there for many years. So long that I am not sure I would call it home any longer. I am not sure that I have anyplace I would call home. My calling keeps me wandering."

 

[Shayuri]

Ilshana chuckles.

"I bet we have that much in common. I'm ORIGINALLY from a little village up on the north end of the Sword Coast. Fishers and tater farmers, mostly. But it's not home. Hasn't been home in ages. I've since trekked through the forests of the East, and dwelled in the secret enclave of Evereska...I learned a great deal from the elves there, but had to move on. I dined with the dwarves in their great halls of stone, as they celebrated their new unity which one day challenge the nations of men. I was captured by a band of orcs and goblins, and had to prove to them daily that I was more entertaining alive and talking than steaming in a pot. I've sat to tea in halfling barrows, and gnome burrows; tilled the earth and spoken the secret language of badgers and stoats...and barely escaped being enslaved by the Mad Djinn Lord as his forces conquered Calimport! And now I've come here to the legendary empire of Imaskar, cruel and decadant and full of reckless, fabulous power."

She grins and twirls a finger. "Home is overrated."

 

[Question]

Troile, the elven half-gold dragon introduces herself.

"Greetings, i am Troile, from Evereska. We all seem to have the same dream with minor variations here, most likely a dire prophecy of some sort. I have discussed this with the high priest of Correllan Larathien in Evereska, while he was not able to shed much light on the situation, he promised to contact me should he discover any further information, and meanwhile i have been sent here to find out more about this possible new threat to the realms, for if the dream can be believed, it is a threat to us all."

 

[Shayuri]

"Well hello to you," Ilshana chuckles. "This group's filling out fast. Maybe we should decide what to do once we're all here."

 

[Scotley]

Silvanyck

Glad to see someone else of elven blood and a follower of Correllan Larathien as well, Silvanyck bows, "Welcome to our little band." "Indeed there may be more to arrive. I must confess that I made no plans beyond coming to this place."

 

[Wrahn]

The sudden appearance of a clearly inhuman creature puts Ununkua’em on edge, looking at the people outside the assembling group like he was expecting something. When nothing immediately happens he locks eyes with the half dragon, “Welcome Troile.”

After a time of waiting and no one else making themselves known, the large man, still on edge with Troile about, speaks up, “Well, it doesn’t look like anyone else is going to appear here at the moment. I would think we have something of a discussion to have.”

“We know that the structure is in a fortress in a mountain range. We know there is some kind of shadow beast at it’s heart. I did not recognize what kind of beast it was, it was out of my experience, is there anyone else able to identify it?”

“I think it is in our best interest to find out what we can. We were lead here, in the heart of an empire ruled by people called ‘the Artificers’ I doubt that is a coincidence considering we are looking for some kind of magical construct. Does anyone have any contacts among the Imaskari that they could tap to look for more information about current projects or perhaps rebel artificers or fortresses in the mountains?”

OOC: After making a number of knowledge checks on your behalf, you have discovered the following

Once the fortress that Unu, Devona and Aramel saw is described to Silvanyck, he mentions that it sounds like the Fortress of the Legendary Frost Giant Leader Jarl Gnorgrak, from the Crystalmist mountains* which lie 200 miles west of Inupras. (The exact location is unknown)

At the mention of Jarl Gnorgraks name Devona remembers hearing that the Jarl and his followers are worshippers of a Demon Lord called Kostchtchie, and are shunned by the other Frost Giants due to there fell practices.

*Currently called the Dragon Sword Mountains

Obviously this is but the tip of the proverbial iceberg
