Age of Heroes - LR's Gestalt Game.

[Ferrix]

Tall like all sun elves, this one's light golden skin contrasts perfectly with his the smoldering emerald of his eyes and the glossy blackness of his hair. Despite the regalness in the way he holds himself and his features, his explorer's garb is dusty and worn looking as if it had seen years upon years on the road. A gnarled staff of an unknown wood is held lightly in one hand, more a walking stick for the long roads than a weapon or support, caught within the gnarled wood is a glass orb glowing with a soft azure light.

"Welcome Slivanyck, I am Gereon. The road has brought me here and I do recognize the lot of you. It seems you have gotten to the point quite succintly. You shall fill me in as we go." He nods casually at the others, falling in next to the elf.

As you walk, "where might we be headed?"

 

[Scotley]

Silvanyck Copper Elf Warlock/Bard

"We are off to the temple of Oghma in hopes that they will provide some magical means of transport to the vicinity where we believe the Deadgate is located. I don't suppose you are capible of such magic..."

 

[Shayuri]

"Except," the pixieish Ilshana notes, holding up a hand, "Even if you do, we're STILL going to the Temple. Why? Because I said we would. And also because he said he could give us some actual, material help. Potions and scrolls and the like. We may not get another chance to easily stock up, so we ought to make this count."

She darts ahead, but is careful to stay in eyeshot.

 

[Wrahn]

The hulking figure with the too large of weapons snorts a small laugh as Ilshana darts ahead, "I am UnunKua'em, I am here at the bequest of Valadis, the enlightened. That," he nods towards the figure darting ahead, "is Ilshana the bold, chosen of Tyche. Though don't tell her I told you, she has an introduction that is most enjoyable."

He indicates Dev with his hand, "Your new friend here is Devona Rift, priest of Xeros and Silvanyck has of course already introduced himself."

"It is our mutual belief we have been brought her by our respective patrons to stop fell forces that are mounting to the west. If you have had the same dreams we have, then you know this has become a matter of some urgency. Our plan has become going to Solon, where there are rumors of dwarves who hunt heads."

"Unfortunately it has left us only a little time for research here, we are aware of the involvement of at least one demon prince and an ancient artifact called a deadgate which Silvanyck has already mentioned."

 

[Ferrix]

Smiling at the giant of a man, Gereon inclines his head in respect. At least one of these new companions did not seem to have an airyness about their head.

"As unseeming as I may appear, I have at my disposal the means to transport us as you mentioned, although I will need a day to prepare such means. It seems the lot of you have titles or patrons, of which I have my own, the Lady Mystryl, titles however I have many but few do I bother with."

[sblock=OOC]Please use the appropriate knowledge checks for the following questions...
Knowledge (arcana) +26, Knowledge (planes) +24, Knowledge (nature, religion or dungeoneering) +22

What can he glean from his dream with the above knowledge checks?
Has Gereon heard of the deadgates; what does he know about them; how they function, etc.?
What does he know about Solon; any dwarves in that region?
What involvement would Orcus have in relation to the deadgate?[/sblock]

 

[Amazing Triangle]

At the mention of her name Dev gives a huge grin and waves to the tall elf.

Dev then begins to skip next to the big monster man wondering just what spawned such a monstrocity. Must be milk, from a beholder cow, she deduces it does a body good. Dev flexes at this thought with no mention of her thoughts.

"So Mister Gerrrrrreooooon how are the elves, still really smart? Or have the years finally caught up with them?" Dev gets a childish grin on her face. "Lighten up smile a little or peoples are going to believe that all elves are snoody."

 

[Ferrix]

Gereon laughs outright at Devona, "child, I left the vanity of my people behind long before you were born. It sort of happens that way when you spend your time walking across the world and back." He grins, there definately seems to be a free spirited roguishness to this one, as a counterpoint to most of his race that you've met.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

You continue to chat on the way to the Temple of Oghma, upon entering the Temple you're immediately ushered into the presence of the High Priest within his inner sanctum, gazing upon the group with weary eyes it's obvious that the High priest has had very little sleep

"I've had a most productive night speaking to the other heads of the orders as well as a night spent in prayer, while we're unable to help you directly we can provide you with magical means to get to where you need to go, as well as a selection of potions and scrolls to aid you in your quest, furthermore I have a scroll which will enable all of you to safely return to this Temple, are there any questions before we proceed"

OOC: The group can choose up to 2000gp worth of divine potions and scrolls (no spell higher than 5th level), the group has also been given a Scroll of 'Word of Recall' which will teleport the caster and 6 others back to the Temple of Oghma.

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Break Enchantment? Restoration? Remove Curse? Some healing potions? What can't we do for ourselves? Silvanyck can do some curing and dispeling, but can't do restorations, remove curses or cure diseases. Raise dead is beyond his ability and our price range.

 

[Shayuri]

OOC: I'd say at least one Restoration, one Remove Disease, and one Neutralize Poison, if no one can cast any of those. A flock of Lesser Restores could also be useful.
