Heroes, Inc., Day 1: Mysterious Strangers

[Hypersmurf]

"Then there is the lighthouse equipment itself, which takes up the center area above and around the top of the shaft. That area is where the lighthouse machinery is. Suffice it to say it uses some magical light sources with mirrors and lenses. It has a balcony all around and plate glass windows. The shaft and stairs end there. There are stairs up to the roof from there. The actual light is on the roof in the center, raised pretty high."

"That's the 'Guiding Star'," Fin puts in. "You might be right about underground, Alethia, but my money's on the roof or the machine room... especially with the reference to the Young Star 'falling'."

"The balcony's well within range of a Dimension Door... but Shando's already Stepped tonight, and I don't think any of us have anything similar prepared. My limited flight won't reach that high before it expires... and I'm loathe to suggest Murdoch fly up there unsupported!"

"... Zephyr, do you have a Wind Walk on hand? I'd prefer not to have to fight our way up through the stairwells..."

Once this has been batted around, Fin will finally summon his Satyr

Fin summons his satyr. "You called?"

 

[Hypersmurf]

Fin summons his satyr. "You called?"

"Good evening, noble fey," Fin greets the creature. "I apologise for imposing, but I can assure you I won't be sending you into battle. Rather, I have a somewhat urgent message for your Lord Oberon... and one I think He may find of interest. Our time is brief, however - are you able to convey such a message?"

 

[DM_Matt]

"No battle. That's good. No opportunity for a rousing performance, no party to liven up, but it could be worse. Yes, I can. What is the message?"

"... Zephyr, do you have a Wind Walk on hand? I'd prefer not to have to fight our way up through the stairwells..."

(During the batting)
"Fin . . . I believe that I can polymorph into a large red dragon for a short time . . . minutes really," Crimson offered, hesitantly. "With it's flight speed and carrying capacity . . . so long as we were close I could get many of you to the lighthouse rooftop. The rest would be up to you . . . I would be rather vunerable during that time, but it might move quite a few people to the top."

OOC: Metamorphosis, 13 hit dice max. Red Dragon, Young Large, 25 Strength, Duration 13 minutes, flight speed of 120, carrying capacity (900lbs light, 1800lbs medium, 2400lbs heavy).

"No battle. That's good. No opportunity for a rousing performance, no party to liven up, but it could be worse. Yes, I can. What is the message?"

"A daughter of a Lord of Waterdeep - this city - was kidnapped tonight by an evil fey. The abductor was overheard saying something that suggested he thought Lord Oberon was attempting to capture him. He was riding an abyssal drake marked with the sigil of the Unseelie Court, which we have learned was presented to him by an evil fey woman of great power. Other information we have suggests that the missing girl may be at present in the Lighthouse of Waterdeep. As well as the fey abductor, there is also a powerful vampire involved, and perhaps an ancient demon."

"If Lord Oberon wishes to send information or assistance, His aid would be most welcome. Otherwise, I hope He finds this of some interest for His own purposes."

Fin quickly repeats the description Murdoch and Kaarlo gave of the adbuctor, his demon-face, his butterfly wings, the arcane attack, and the runic magic.

"Time grows short - if you wish to view the drake before the spell ends, it is just over there."

The satyr, suddenly looks serious, or at least, as serious as satyr can look. I know of the creature of which you speak. His name is Lordes Lucifer. He was among Lord Oberon's most powerful servants, a Ghaele Eladrin, until he was corrupted by an Unseelie Lord named Zura of the Black Bolts. He is cruel, cold, and arrogant, and lives by a strange code of honor which serves as a mockery of his former goodness. The fact that he is here means that Zura has a larger purpose in mind for him and this city. I must go. It will take time to prepare a response, however. Assume yourselves to be alone for the night."

Alethia is quiet, listening while the others talk and the satyre comes, revealing vital information. "Plots upon plots." she whispers to herself, thinking.

"We need to hurry. Time is short Fin and it does not grow longer." she said. "Crimson's ability to turn into a dragon would be useful to get us to the top of the lighthouse." an idea sparked. "But wait. Do we have a supply of flying potions or spells around here? That might be even more useful."

 

[frostrune]

Timrin awaits his companions impatiently in the outer hall, silently going over the few blessings (spells) Helm has granted him this day looking for something useful.

OOC: I realized I never chose Timrin's spells so I'll get that done before this fight.

We can get fly cast on you right before battle if need be.
