Heroes, Inc., Day 1: Mysterious Strangers

[Ranger Rick]

Kaarlo 'thumbs/points' toward the wagon. Hoping to lessen the tension he playfully adds, "If you can not see the abysall drake that the successful kidnapper used, than I know where to find a white cane you can use."

Alethia chuckles and goes to find a place to sit down nearby. She then takes out her bow and makes sure that everything is in working order. "At least a mace just needs cleaning once in a while." she shook her head, thinking about the upcoming lighthouse expedition.

"My lord? Are there any blueprints to this lighthouse? We probably will need the plans for the underground areas near and under it as well. At least we won't be going in blind that way."

Crimson asked where the wyvern and other items from the attack were being held. There she performed an object reading, first on the wyvern (if possible - it's inanimate now), then on anything else from the attack.

OOC: Fin will take that opportunity to perform an object reading on The Book... going back two owners, if possible - Goran, and Al-Hulath, maybe? /OOC

 

[DM_Matt]

[Object Reading is for objects, sensitivity is for locations. Beings go through less "owners." Technically, all you get to see is the guy who took Aleena, and the Unseelie creature that whose domain it was from. That creature is shaped like a woman with butterfly wings, but she is made of crackling, purplish-black energy, apparently the same energy that that whip was made of. You see an image of the creature that took Aleena channeling pure elemental fire at the beast until itbend to his will (Looks like Fire domain contol fire creatures ability])

OOC: Isn't it Last owner’s race, Last owner’s gender, Last owner’s age, Last owner’s alignment, How last owner gained and lost the object? /OOC

 

[DM_Matt]

Fin sees an image of a magey-looking member of Goran's group writing the book (LG, 130, male), then using magic to age it artificially. In the room with Goran's group is a tall, pale, dark-haired man wearing a long leather trenchcoat. When he moves, you can see numerous weapons, especially throwing knives, on his belt and on a bandoleer.

Ok, take that in addition to visions. I should have looked that up, sorry. The creatures are both ridiculously old and CE, male attacked Aleena, female energy-fey, yo usaw how the guy got it, the original owner got it when her servants caught it in the wild and branded it.

Crimson (Female 'Human' Psion) AC:26 HPs: 66 PPs: 131

Crimson passed on the information she saw from the wyvern, before rooting around in the wagon, looking for a saddle, bridle or something that was worn by either the attacker or the wyvern to get more information.

 

[DM_Matt]

The throwing stakes apparently were never owned by the guys they were found on. You get a flash of the man who was overseening Garan's group create the book. He is about 200 years old, male, CE, and he carved it himself. You see him last giving them up throwing them from behind some boxes in front of one of the nearby stores.

You get earlier flashes, too. They are present as he discusses a matter with the mage who attacked you. All around are dead soldiers of some sort, and the mage and his companions are wounded. You see the mage carving runes in the man's arm with a silver tatooing needle. Then you see all the men who attacked you with the mage lined up in ceremonial vestments with the holy symbol of Anubis emblazoned on them. The man cuts his untatoo'ed arm with a silver knife. He then raises his tatooed arm, and small throwing knives crackling with magical energy appear. He throws them, wounding one of the mage's companions. Blood and shadowy smoke come from the man's wound, and he gives it to the mage's companion to drink from. The warrior then falls to the ground. The man repeats the process, sometimes apparently conjuring knives, other times using it to imbue preexisting ones with power. He recite's an incantation, and all those he wounded rise. He says. "My lord demands a sacrifice. Who volunteers. All of them do. He pulls out those same two carved throwing stakes and throws them at two of the mage's companions at once. The stakes penetrate their hearts and they burst into dust and shadows. The man says to the mage. "Now, you have one more duty to fulfill before I release you..." The vision then ends.

No saddle was used and there is not enough of that fairy dust to use for the spell, especially since what WAS gathered is being analyzed right now by mages and alchemists back at the base.
