Shando views the scene in quiet and then gets a slight smile on his face."I was wondering if one of you masters of the mystic arts might be willing to explain gates to be a bit more. Do they allow the transporation of substance and energy in 2 directions? Can their orientation be changed so you can exit up or down instead of straight ahead?"

"Helm's unblinking eye!", Timrin exclaims. "Chronos' damnable cult has seized the device and appears to be setting up camp for the long haul. I'm not sure what they are up to but it can't be good."

"Now what do we do?"

We stomp them into the ground and sow their graves with salt and holy water boy. The demon's voice rumbled in their minds, as icy as a glacier, mimicing the chill in Alethia's voice.

Alethia stared hard at the image, memorizing, scrutinizing it. "The device looks into time. You said, you did not wish to know what they could do if they could travel back into time. Cronos is a master of it. Alot of the islands seem to be disappearing or have disappeared. They are doing precisely that. They are altering time." she said, her voice echoing the demon's tone or is it the other way around? You can't be sure, but it's extremely eerie when they do that. Almost frightening in fact...

ooc:
Alethia does have a 23 wisdom with her magical stuff... And she does wear it quite a bit. Soo. Not too much of a leap of faith.

"It seems to me that we need to go there, clean up the place and secure it, create a permanent gate for easy access and protection, and then come back to Waterdeep."

Looking at Maggie: "Do you have an idea how much the wayfarer's guild would charge for the transportation of our party and for the gate?"

Maggie says: "The minor mythal that we recovered from Rianna's ship can enhance as well as block scrying and teleportation. I can use it to teleport more of us than I ordinarily could by using it as a focus on the way there and using it as a beacon on the way back. I can bring us all with one casting."

Maggie answers "There are many kinds of gates, but the more versatile they are, the more expensive they are. Gates exist that can do all of those things you mentioned, or none."

"So, since we know where our enemy is and the lay out of the camp, instead of teleporting us first into the camp to attack, why don't we create several one way gates to the location, placed at strategic points of the camp oriented down from about 20 feet in the air? On our end the openings would be about 30 feet underwater in the bay. Several thousands of gallons of water should solve the problem nicely and if we time it right, we can catch Chronos' champion unaware. If possible, we might be able to take out a skyship or 2. At the very least, it should damage their defenses to the point that an attack would have a much better chance of succeeding.

"Building a large quantity of gates such as that would be prohibitively expensive and take a great deal of time," Maggie comments.

"This looks like massive job. Did you see how many airships there were? Never have I seen or even heard of such an armada!"

"Obviously, we must go but this will require careful planning." He turns toward Fin, "Master Druid, I think we will need MANY of your elemental friends; perhaps more than you have ever summoned. The Airships are particularly troubling to me as their mobile firepower was tremendous."

"The rest of us can swiftly take out the small force guarding the machine and prepare to meet their counter-attack."

"I realize this is an unreasonable request but do you think you can handle it?"

Maggie suggests "I fear it may be difficult to defeat Cronos' army and hold this far-away territory. Perhaps we can take it temporarily and use it, but what we are talking about essentially requires a full-fledged military defeat of Cronos.

Alethia looked at Maggie, her eyes were glowing slightly, churning with light. "That is what we're talking about Maggie. Cronos is apart of whatever is threatening Waterdeep, is apart of whatever has Lord Perigeron. He is one of demons we must defeat. When the baneswords accepted us, we took on that responsibility of finding and destroying the Twice-damned. Do you honestly think, by leaving him alone, he will leave us alone? He knows we have the swords. Neither he nor the rest of the Twice damned will rest until each and everyone of us is lying in chains at their feet begging for mercy while they carve our hearts out." her voice became even grimmer and more cold. "We have no choice. We made any choices we had when we picked up the swords."

She is right. But think on this. With a device that powerful, you will have to constantly be on guard. You will loose even more lives trying to hold on to it as various powers vie for control. You will never be able to rest easy knowing that it might fall into the wrong hands as it has done. Simply leaving it isn't an option either. Ultimate power brings ultimate damnation. We should destroy it, so it does not tempt others to misuse it. the demon advised.

Maggie responds "We must defeat him eventually. I question wether we can defeat him immediately."
