[Unbounded World:The Aeterian Expedition] (Now With New And Improved Amulets!)

[Kalanyr]

OOC-
The guard captain is seperate, he's just the highest legal authority.
The first harrier ,Selac, is currently absent he went into the desert in pursuit of a heretical priest before you left Aeter.
The high priest sent you on the mission for the pharoah, as far as Teppic is aware they are the only ones who know, it is possible that the Wakeful Dead and the Raiser know, they seem to have uncanny knowledge of much that goes on in Aeter, apart from that the only people who should know are those Teppic told before he left.

However Teppic suspects the priests who advise the pharoah and a few of the higher ranked nobles likewise would know also, the former from giving advise on who to send and the latter from court life being what court life is.

Teppic decides that since he lacks any other clear plan, he will go discuss the status of his mission with the High Priest and see if he could gain any assistance from the cleric as well.

He sets forth to the High Priest's office and requests an audience from whatever functionary manages such things.

Duncan looks at his companions, then at Skor , then again at his companions and he says: "Excuse me, but I'll have to go watch over him. I have this feeling that if we simply let him go, this city will lose many able men, and next year there will be a curious lot of silver haired kids. Let's meet here next morning."

When he's alone with Skor he explode in a chuckle "I hope they fell for that. I really need to feel fully alive again, my friend. Let's see if the Brown Warrior has lost his touch with ale and the fair maidens that bring it at our table!"

OOC-Er, sorry for my absence. Does Talsia know of any temples of Paradox in the city (unlikely?) or any place where she could summon an outsider away from people/safely?

 

[Ferrix]

"I shall be waiting at the edge of the sands if any have need of me." Lochan then walks off to the edge of the city, laying out a small reed mat, he'll sit in a lotus position and tune himself to the world around him.

 

[Kalanyr]

(Sorry for the lack of posts, I have exams, which means I don't have time to do the fairly long DM posts, things should be back to normal in a couple of weeks, I'l try and squeeze in some upates in between)

 

[Ferrix]

OOC: Cool, good to know you are still kicking though

 

[Kalanyr]

After much diplomatic wriggling by the High Priests assistant, Teppic manages to get himself escorted into the presence of the High Priest.

Duncan and Skor pass the night as they intended and are awoken the next morning.


OOC - Talsia does not.

 

[hafrogman]

Teppic stands at attention in front of the High Priest and gives a summary of the state of the mission so far. He describes his companions, the encounter on the boat, the changed guard and the investigation that followed and finishes up with the encounters in the desert, and the party's defeat at the hands of the small blue dragon. As a final side note, he states the results of his research so far.

"So, as I find myself unable to discharge my mission in a reliable and timely manner, I find myself forced to return to ask for additional resources in dealing with this new threat to Aeter."

As Duncan comes down the stairs of the inn were they spent the night, he sees the half-dragon making short script of the lavish breakfast that's laid out on the table. A bleary-eyed servant stands at his side, pouring a cup of hot coffee.
"Good morning, Dunc," says Skor, waving at him with a chicken leg. "Time for a quick snack, that is, if your stomach is up to it. and then were off, to see what a dragon's entrails look like."
He looks remarkably well rested for someone that only a few hours before was thoroughly drunk.
