Brave New Planes

[Paxus Asclepius]

OOC: Anything from Object Lore Sight? It can give a lot of information about items (with a lot of castings)

Manacles

1. 5083 years
2. Brystasia was the last person to touch them.
3. The last person to touch them was half-human, half-nymph.
4. The object's creator was Horus Re.
5. The object's creator was a god.
6. The manacles were created to bind a rogue solar.
7. The manacles are made of a platinum-like metal called Heavensilver.
8. The objects were made in Hierakonpolis.
9. Brystasia is the most recent owner of the items.
10. Magical ability: to nullify the powers of angels bound by it.

The key is identical, save for question 6: The key was created to open doors and locks built by Horus-Re, and question 10: The ability to open the manacles.

 

[Endur]

The massive muscular Cimmerian asks the tiny scholarly gnome what else he knows of the Peacock Angel, Amerrockh, and the demon lord Grazz't.

After that, the Cimmerian proposes that the more martially inclined of their associates plunder Undermountain of its wealth (if any) while they wait for the politically astute (or religiously restrained) determine which side should win in the coming war between Luskan and Mirabar.

Assuming that at least one other adventurer is interested, the Cimmerian will lead an expedition into Undermountain.

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia smiles at the Cimmerian suggestion and laughs lightly as she replies, “I’m not sure if I would qualify as martially inclined but I would love to go.” She winks and grins at him, “Besides I would hate for you to stumble around blind in the Underdark.”

 

[Dalamar]

"While underground isn't my terrain of choice, I'd be willing to come too. Currently I'm spending my time just iddling about."

OoC: Technically, Vilya never tagged along, but I really wanted to chime in on this one.

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia turns to the elven maiden a look of understanding on her face, “I too grow tried of shuffling my feet.” With her omnipresent smile she turns to Sandorel, “What do you say? Shall we kick up a little dungeon dirt while we think upon what to do?”

 

[Serpenteye]

"It might be a relaxing pastime, so why not? I may as well come with you, but I have some business to attend to first. It shouldn't take me long, but it's soon time for me to depart.
I will rejoin you again tomorrow, in your temple. Farewell."

ooc: First some shopping.
Sandorel will Gate to...

Where is the Rogues Gallery thread?

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia smiles at his agreement and then looks curious at his words, "Depart? Where too?" Not wanting to come across as nosey she gives a fond smiles, "I would love to go with you Sandorel, if you want my company that is."

OOC: RG Thread

 

[Serpenteye]

Sandorel smiles regretfully, and shakes his head slightly.
"Some locations you would doubtless find unpleasant, and some that would not be too welcoming of you. I'm afraid I can not let you come with me, but rest assured that I will return shortly. I shall look forwards to seeing you again."

He says his farewells to the rest of the group, walks down the street and around a corner and looks over his shoulder to make sure that none are following him. Then he opens a Gate.
--
ooc: This is my travel plan for the day

Gate Waterdeep -> Monastery in the Outlands
Planeshift MitO -> Sigil
Portal Sigil -> Dis (the biggest city in hell)
Gate Dis -> The City of Brass (one of the biggest citys in the inner planes)
Planeshift/Teleport -> Waterdeep

In the monastery he's going to cast Awareness and Apotheosis, after making a speach to his followers. Then he will Bless them, make another short speach and depart.

In Sigil, Dis and the City of Brass he's going to visit the merchant areas and the bigger magic item stores. He will let it be known that he's looking for several powerful items and encourage the merchants to find them so that they can try to sell them to him and potentially make considerable profits.

He's looking for:

One 8th level Pearl of Power (64'000gp)
One 9th level Pearl of Power (81'000gp)
One Ring of Mind Blank 1/day (43'200gp)
--(8x15x1800/5)


Once back in Waterdeep he will rent a room in one of the finer inns in the city.

ooc: How much money do we/I have now ehen everything has been sold and divided?

PS. Thanks Brother.

Brystasia Purelove: Half-Nymph/Female (Avenger/Favored Soul/Heartwarder)

Brystasia gives a weak smile and nods her head, “Sure, and in till then Sandorel please be careful.” The weak smile turns to a frown of contemplation as Sandorel leaves, Is he protecting me or is he protecting himself from me?

Realizing that the others are still around she shakes the reflective look from her face and a small smile forms as she address Meekel, “I’m not sure how interested you would be in the Undermountain but your more than welcome to accompany us. If you would excuse me I’ll be back in a second.”

Not waiting for acknowledgement she leaves the room and find a quite private place to collect her thoughts.

OOC: Serpenteye, no big deal I have my own little “web page” with all the links I need for PbP gaming. It’s in my signature. I’m shocked you didn’t mention Union in your planer travels. Epic level city, you can buy nearly anything epic there so I imagine DMG items would easily be there. Of course its usually DM’s authorization when you find out about Union. I’ll tally up and make the final coins and equipment so we know who got what and just how much. If someone wants the armor please say so in the OOC thread. Velenne, if Antilles needed to contact Brystasia now is probably a good a time as any though I have no idea of the planer travel alarms that could be cast upon the academy.

 

[Velenne]

Antillis ensures the relative privacy of Brystasia's location by searching the area via the Ethereal. Provided there are no onlookers, it will appear in a shimmering effect to finally stand before her- nearly ten feet of predatory perfection.

It drops the hefty sack which it had orginally accepted from her before raising all four arms to its helmet. The mechanism by which it removes the faceplate seems a complicated one, requiring all four claws to manipulate. Air rushes out of several connecting hoses with a hiss and Antillis' upper pair of arms slowly remove the mask while the lower two return to its sides.

It's face is horrific. If nothing else about the Hunter inspired terror, its half-insectoid visage would surely petrify the hearts of most mortals. It gazes at the human woman through non-enhanced, multi-faceted, black eyes for all the world like a tavern patron would a hot meal. Its criss-crossing mandibles click together ominously as it slowly rotates the facemask around to face itself.

The inside of the two-foot wide device displays the Hunter's armored chest for a moment, like looking through mere glass, before shifting to another view entirely. Antillis moves the mask closer so that she may see. The display is now a spinning glaive of alien origin. Specifications and descriptions flash around the weapon in Common, then Infernal, then Elven, Draconic, Celestial, and back around the cycle.

Its mandibles do not move, but suddenly, from somewhere within its armor, comes a much more subdued but no less monotone voice,

"These are the specifications for the Combispear of Othraxis. Please make note of them and communicate them to a worthy crafter of weapons for none such weapon has been seen in many centuries. The human known as Sandorel may know of such an expert. You may take from this bag whatever should be required for this.

"To make war beneath a mountain or against the pink flesh of this weak world is of no consequence to me. I will follow this pack where it may go and challenge my abilities as a Hunter forever."
