[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7805620, member: 79141"] [B]Session 236, Part Two Padyer, Av and the Plain of Rice[/B] They returned to Padyer, to investigate the warded tower they had found last time, when both Uriel and Leon had been otherwise occupied. Timing their touchdown to avoid the boiling seas, they dispelled the wards and gained entrance, while Kai divined the plane’s very unhelpful traits. Uriel used location loresight to learn about Padyers’s history: A hugely powerful elementalist captured avatars of the gods of fire and the sea and tried to bind their power into a staff. He then sent out a burning wave to annihilate his enemies in a coastal kingdom, but the wave did not stop. It carried its scalding heat across the entire world, until finally it reached the mage’s own tower. He managed to ward his tower against the wave, but it was not long before all the water in the world became hotter than the ignition point of flesh and wood. The mage plane-shifted away, taking his deadly staff with him, but leaving behind a dead world. Once inside the tower, they found a veritable treasure trove of spellbooks and magical items. Leon and Uriel each chose a particularly powerful spell to take away for study. There was so much to be investigated here that they decided to stay longer than planned, even while the raging sea crashed around the warded tower, and when they left, their pockets were bulging with interesting artefacts and weapons they hoped to use against the Golden Legion. On to Av, just passing through on their way to the Plain of Rice, but interested to see what had become of it: It was now a broken fragment slowly rotating in space. On one side, the Bleak Gate analogue of Cauldron Hill ; on the other, the Dreaming, in an area blighted by the factories of Flint. In the distance they spied a Golden Legion windskiff, flying low and capturing survivors. They made a beeline for it, and Uru readied the Tyrant’s Eye. But before they even got there, they saw an amorphous , dark shape sweep like a wave out of the blighted forest and consume the devils and the skiff! Uru caught sight of a tiny, green figure that seemed to be directing this mass, and as they neared they heard music, as if the blighted wave was being being conducted somehow. When the wave subsided, they could see that the devils were dead –even their succubus commander – and the golden chains had been torn from their slaves. (This was not ideal in the case of those who had not only recently succumbed, and they were in the process of dying a noisy, horrible death. As Quratulain might put it, such is the price of freedom.) At once, Leon recognised the Huldregarl, a powerful forest spirit he had once travelled with. It was formed from the rotting mulch on the forest floor, full of dead leaves, insects, fungi and carcasses. Leon had once travelled with the Huldregarl, and with its tiny companion, Etiotek Ekiokiet: a tiny, plant-like sprite, who soothed and communicated with Huldregaal through song. They did not recognise him in turn. (Nor had Ascodel, Nbed or Redcoat, for that matter.) But they saw he was one of the Unseen Court and asked for tidings. Leon said that they were on a quest to rescue Thisraldion from captivity on Egalitrix (thereby restoring this plane) and asked if the two would accompany them, but neither was happy at the thought of going aboard the Coaltongue. They would stay here and prevent the Legion from taking any more slaves. Korrigan told them he might communicate with them from afar (in case they distrusted what they were hearing, as so often seemed to be the case). Before they left Av, Uru gathered soil and plant-life to create a Terrarium. The Plane of Rice was… the Plane of Rice. They did not pause to create a golden icon. Their visit to these last two planes marked the end of their first fortnight in the Gyre. [/QUOTE]
