Heroes, Inc.: Aftermath

Could a judicious use of stone shape create a suitable landing place?

Helm says "Yes, that could work, though your ship will have to be in the next valley over, meaning it will take time to transport materials and it will be out in the open. Perhaps we can do some initial repairs and add new weapons that can be easily moved and installed, while meanwhile analyzing the ship to construct the appropriates parts. You can come back later when those are finished."

Kayla says "You do not have the forces to invade Cronos' domain even if you found it. The Zulkirs of Thay are leading the forces themselves. Whatever is making them work together, they have a direct tie to it. On the other hand, you killed Calicos, he only one you know of with a direct connecion to Cronos. "
 

Shando looks around the citadel. "You know, that flying citadels were bedtime stories for us at the monestary, wonderous things from the time of Netheril. This is certainly beyond my training and experience. However, if you have any sick or injured that need to be tending to, I can certainly help in my rather limited manner."

"There are two others that we know of. The creature Kurin and of course Zarun himself probably has a direct link to Cronos." Alethia offered grimly.

Kayla responds "Then why go searching for Cronos' domain rather than trying to get to him through them. Oh, right, we can't find Kurin and we can't confront Zarun directly."
 

You make a landing area as Alethia suggests, in the next valley over. A large number of dwarven and human craftsmen move in and start repairing and replacing gearworks and determining improvements and repairs that are needed. With some help from Naverone, Maggie manages to alter the translator that Cronos built to work with one of the ship's control spheres, and shefinds and writes down plans and measurements that the Sundabarans would find useful.

Rolantar, a dwarf leading the Sundabaran team, tells you "We can repair what is absolutely necessary and what does not require making complex new parts in two to three days. Many of Cronos' weapons were destroyed, including some sort of major magical attack device, but we can replace them wih some from our armory. If you come back after a while, we'll be able to build up the parts to repair some non-essential bits of the ship and put in some of our own improvements."


Meanwhile, while everyone waits for the craftsmen, Kayla pulls Murdoch aside "Strange question...where does your power come from? The Witches of Rasheman weild what seem to be extremely similar magics, for they are descended from the spirits of the land itself. The Witch-Blooded can sense each other, and though weakly, I can...feel your power. Sort of. It is as if I really am in the presense of an accomplished Witch.

But to the extent that we understand that power, it is passed by blood from mother to daughter. There are no recorded instances of a male weilding this power. We always assumed there was some inherant reason for that. "

(Note: this does not mean there are extremely few warlocks, but their powers often vary based on source.)
 

At hearing the lead engineer's assessment, Timrin comments, "That begs the question... what exactly are we trying to accomplish here? Re-fit the ship to simply make it airworthy once again or get it completely overhauled and ready for battle? If we fly this hulk out of here in a few days we cannot realistically uses it as a battle platform. A mobile base yes; battle platform no. Do we then become sitting ducks for Cronos' airfleet?"

"We also still need to get and pay for the rings and potions we commissioned and take on a LARGE ammount supplies to feed our crew. I trust our usual Shield agents are making these arrangements (he looks to Murdock and Fin for confirmation)?"


"I am wondering if it best we travel alone and with a lower profile?"

In our downtime Timrin has a few tasks to do:

1) Ask Lord Helm Dwarf-Friend for a personal favor. Can he arrange for the proper diplomatic papers for my Tethyrian force to land in Neverwinter and work their way east across the northern territories without fear of provoking the rightfull sovereigns? I would eventually have them rendevous with us here in Sundabar.

2) Based on his response, Devan will issue further orders to my troops via Sending.

3) Speak with Maggie realistically about the ship's capabilities.

Oi, o great DM. Did we level yet? :)

Alethia helps out as best as she is able, but for the most part; she rests, prays for spells and does some serious shopping.

"It is suited to be a battle platform butnot as effective as it could eventually be. Surely, though, it could not stand up to cronos' whole fleet."

Helm is amenable to the idea and will arrange it. If you want to speak with Maggie, do so...

Ya know, I guess this is a good time.
