[IC1] Pool of Radiance

[hafrogman]

Kylest coughs uncomfortably at some of Martinez's comments.

"I'm sorry, but your messenger did not survive. We found him outside the walls on the shore here. Phlan has. . . been through troubled times. While it did not survive in many senses, it's spirit has endured, and an effort is underway to liberate the city from the hordes that have invaded it. There is a small enclave, called new Phlan. That section of the city is free and safe. We labor to expand that area. . . but the fighting lingers."

"We only got two of the three passcodes. We only got a portion of the final code. The two were enough to get us to you. Can you complete the other for us? Also, your men have done well and as you say, Sokol keep did not fall. However, they have earned their rest now."

 

[Thanee]

“I... understand. It is now for new people to man and guard this keep. My duty is done and my rest is near. Thank you, brave ones!”

“You won't need the passcodes anymore, once I am gone, my spell will cease to exist as well, as it is bound to my very essence. The safety of Sokol Keep lies in your hands now. There are still some weapons in the armory, which might be of use for you. Walk right through the north wall and you will find them. Be careful, though, the hordes that once invaded the city were led by three dangerous beings, the very cause for Phlan's fall. Unblessed creatures imbued with the might of a magical pool. The great generals of the evil horde, Tyranthraxus, Edranka and Torath. With their powers they ruled and united all else, driving forward to destroy us all. The sage Mantor worked hard to gather records of all these things, but they are probably lost now, his library long since overrun.”

“Now we are freed, our duty done!”

With that he fades away.


Eldwyn:
[SBLOCK]You have heard of Mantor's library, which was a huge building in the heart of Phlan once. Mantor had gathered all kinds of knowledge there. With some luck, some of the records might still be recoverable. You also remember having seen the name on the map, shown to you by Baran on the trip to Phlan.[/SBLOCK]

Eldwyn draws out his holy symbol and says a prayer for the noble dead of this place. Then he turns to the others. "If I remember right the library was close to Kuto's well, perhaps there is still something of use there?" He looks to the wall, "Shall we try to pass the wall?"

 

[hafrogman]

Kylest nods as he strides forward.

"Yes, knowledge of our foes could be invaluable. From the priest's words, it does not sound like these would be enemies that could be defeated merely from the passage of time."

He pauses for a moment in front of the wall, and taking a deep breath, tries to walk through it.

 

[Thanee]

Kylest finds the northern wall of the chapel to be rather solid, but quickly realizes, that Martinez probably spoke of the north wall in the armory. Heading back there, the dwarf carefully approaches the wall and this time, there is nothing to hold him back and he can walk right through.

Kylest:
[SBLOCK]Inside the secret area is an old rack of rotten wood, which holds a suit of chainmail armor, sized to fit a dwarf from the look of it, a heavy steel shield, a heavy mace and a longsword. All of which seem to have endured the passage of time rather well.[/SBLOCK]

 

[hafrogman]

Kylest loads up his arms with the equipment he finds in the armory and returns to his companions. He places it down again and rubs his nose gingerly.

"I really MUST learn to pay closer attention."

 

[Thanee]

Kylest brings a suit of chainmail armor, sized to fit a dwarf from the look of it, a heavy steel shield, a heavy mace and a longsword back from beyond the wall. All of which seem to have endured the passage of time rather well.

 

[Mista Collins]

With a chuckle, Selvaggio watches as Kylest emerges.

"These enemies do sound like quite the challenge. 'Unblessed creatures imbued with the might of a magical pool?'" Selvaggio scratches his head a bit. "Does anyone know what he could be referring to?"

 

[Krug]

Oog walks through the wall and sees if there is anything that he might be able to use.
