OOC Kingdom of Ashes VI (Welcome to the Springer Dimension)

Well, we've learned that L'Aurel likes swimming. You're in a tiny room with a wurm corpse, there is water running through it (crystal clear water, in fact) and there's 2 grates and one door that lead out.

This may be absolutely ridiculous... but, I suppose, it's worth a shot...

Can we rewind time a bit and see if anything happens if Archonus drinks the water before Xath heals him?
 



With the exception of the aura around the magic items that the taztlwurm had collected in its lair, and the fading glow on the eel-like creature, arcane sight reveals nothing unusual about the water, apart from its clarity.

Even after killing the poisonous wurm, the water appears clear, the poison and blood disappearing in the the slowed flow of water.
 

Summary

After having reached an agreement with the Bluestar, he returned to wherever he came from, his army already moving into position around you, ready to teleport to Caer Albion as soon as the wall came down.

Kaereth reappeared, suddenly intelligent, and apparently connected somehow to the strange metallic warriors under the command of the Bluestar.

As Kaereth reappeared, Jansten disappeared, suddenly worried as to the fate of his rebellion - something the bluestar may have discovered by probing his mind. He returns with dire tidings - his rebellion is on the run, and you'll need to bring down the ward to get them out of the deathlands before the Bluestar can pursue.

Upon hearing that, Kaereth informs you that he has other things he must take care of, and that he will meet you at Khaz Barok (the expected location of the thing that powers the deathward) as soon as he can.

You cross back over the wall, parting ways with Archonus Bluestar, who must prepare the army for battle, and inform your queen of all that has passed between you and the Bluestar.

Once on the south side of the wall, a quick trip to Sylvanus is made, and temporary commanders are appointed - they'll be ready to move within a few days.

Once that's done, you went to Khaz Barok, broke open the seal, and descended.

There were a few traps to try to prevent you from entering, but you managed to 'knock' your way in, and most of you avoided some traps.

Once inside, you fought some ghouls, an earth elemental, and a "boneyard." You found a monument room with a mural with a river in it, fought some more ghouls, fought a slaughterstone eviscerator, fell in a hole, climped out of the hole, fought a Cadaver Collector that wanted to make you it's dollies, fought a screaming incorporeal undead whose name I cannot remember, fought a kraken on a bridge, went down some stairs, fought another cadaver collector, fought a giant land-eel thing, and found another part of an underground river.

That's where you are!

(3) The blood of the Goldenblades being keyed to the "switch" thing was a mis-read on my part quite some time ago, IIRC and not an option that we wanted to be persuing at this point.
Sorry running behind on things, but as for this comment. Not sure what Liz/Justice has said on it, but I was and am just going on the fact that previously the old heroes keyed things to blood, very specific blood. Goldenblade is Quarions blood line, so that would be the most obvious one should he have keyed it to anyones. Probably doesn't have anything that would actually help the situation, but thought process remains the same for a just in case type of event.

As for who has seen Dara: Kareth and L'aurel both saw the blue figure in Oceanus, but only know it has somethign to do with someone Archonus knows well and happily. And I thought with the whole asking questions and such Arhconus finally metioned Dara after the bluestar left and we were talkign about getting info on Quarion... Did he actually not? Do we, the circle, or do we not know about Dara goldenblade and her association with Archonus?

At this point, I believe Archonus has not told anyone about his relationship with Dara.
