What do we know? What do we think we know?

Thought I would start this out. Maybe if we put down in writing things that we believe have happened or are happening we might find out some interesting plots.

In Jail.

We have lost the 1st member from the Chimeras. His leadership will be missed. With that said I would like to have his body resurrected when we get out of here. We are all hurt pretty badly and will need to get some rest. Lets take an extended rest here and spend the time talking with the mage's staff and get a full 8 hours of info from it.(If you could post info William that would be great). After we are healed up we need to gather ourselves and start searching this prison. Finding a way out would be the goal here. And to figure out how we ended up in this situation would also be helpful.

Bemon and I spoke and he questioned us getting sent here as a possible trap from the mage that hired us. Did he want us out of the way and sent us here on purpose? Any thoughts?

Mari, do you remember what you asked your spell that pointed us to this area?

I do not know you very well yet Mari, (Rodney if you haven't, could you make sure that Chris has the website so that he can post) but it would be helpful to me to know what offensive and defensive abilities you have so that I can plan what I do to protect you better.

Who are we after?

So... Who is this guy and why are we after him? (Other than we were hired to do it.)

Where did we leave off?

So, we are waiting for the chickey babe to come back and tell us what she has found out about Andros right? We will need to figure out who framed us. Duhhh. We should also decide if we are staying in town or not once we rescue Andros.

In Town

Bemon,
I had a thought. Maybe we could send an animal messanger to that lady you were wanting to talke to. I don't know how the spell works, but if it gets to her and she is interested in talking about the old magic then she could lets us know.

Andros,
Lets not split up the group. I suggest that we postpone one and do the other on a different night. I like getting our rep up so keep up the good work. If we could get some work in town that might raise our reputation here I would love to go that route.

Ella,
I don't know your goals or wants here so keep on watching whoever has the key. That sword of yours can keep them at bay.

DM,
If we stay another day I would like to spend time at the temple and seek guidance with the upper clergy about my weapon and where it came from. It still concerns me that it my be of a not totaly good nature. I also would like to acquire items to give the heathens across the mountains. Holy symbols, phamplets and things like that.

ALL
We cannot stay in one place too long for fear of key hunters tracking us down. I would like to find a way to mask the key. I believe that the Wizard told us that a lead box would mask it somewhat. We could aslo look into finding a way to put an anti-scry on a container and keep it in there.

Andros

We will await Andro's return and see if that leads us to any adventure. While waiting I spar with Ella to see what her weapon is doing. (any posts of the results would be fun)

If Andros doesn't have any leads what would you all like to do?

Items on my personal list are :
Avenge Sams family's death.
Find a small area for us to have a FOS (Fortress of Solitude)
Get some working cash. I've got bills to pay you know.
Repay Orentho (cash or tasks. We owe him 1800 currently)

What to do with the key?

We have a powerful item here and I think that we should use it to spread good around the world. Bahamut has seen us worthy to have it so I say that we use it. I would like to 1st offer a rescue mission to save Jobe and his family. We cannot sit by and allow others to get harmed because they have come in contact with us. We are the heroes of the realm and need to act like it. With that said. Who’s with me?

After that let’s use this tool to find some long lost areas that we would never be able to get to without it. I.e. Temples, groves, training grounds, lost civilizations or any number of places or things. A cool Fortress of Solitude that is shielded from warding or teleportation would be a nice start. I’m going to have to look at the history of the realm to see if anything specific rings a bell.

Finally when we are done with it I say we take this item and give it to Bahamut and tip the power of good. If he doesn’t want it then he can go hide it again, or task us to do so. I don’t think that we should just hide it on our own, with the possibility that the other one might show up we may need I to defend the realm.

These are just a few thoughts to kick off the discussion board.

Recap of earlier posts

This is just a small recap of what we posted earlier.

We will take a short rest to heal up with whatever surges we have left. (I would suggest that everyone keep one unused surge.)

I will examine the golden sword that I got from the dimension box. I wish to see if the metal is soft. By putting a minor scratch on it. Wield it and check it’s balance by going through a couple of stances.

Ella is looking at her coin for any markings that she can relate to. She is also walking the room, taking detailed notes and examining everything that she can.

Bemon, taking extreme precautions, is looking at the treasure on the floor. After he does that he will be examining his ring for anything of value.


After everything is done, we will be leaving this are by the way that we came in and trying to verify that we have indeed closed the doorway to the shadowfell.

My thoughts on what to do next

So what would you guys like to do? With the stipulation that we are Heroes and need to make decisions, not let others decide what should be done. Here are some options that I have thought of :

Decide if we think we should give the Tear to the wizard:
They have not been unkind to us and did not go and try to take the Tear by force. They are trying to keep a handle on the evil that is down in Thunder spire.

Leave it with the Temple:
It doesn't look like they are going to use it for anything more than a showing artifact to gain more followers. Just because we got it for them doesn't mean that it is theirs. If this thing is this powerful then it could probably fall into the wrong hands easily here.

Take the Tear into our safekeeping:
The priest said he would allow us to take it. I like that idea. Divine power from the gods is always good to have in your pocket.

See if there is any other Big items of importance that need to be done to quell the evil of the area:
I don't want to be standing around if there are things we could be helping with.

Go across the mountains:
This would be simply an adventure. We would be randomly heading out to find adventure. I like the idea, but we would need a goal so that we were not just walking around blindly. IE Setting up trade routes, capturing creatures for experiments....


I will of coarse be spending some time in the temple praying to Bahomet trying to divine a coarse of action. An will let you know if I get any info.

Upon thinking about this for a while.

OK. I've been knocking around different possibilities of wht to do. Stay here and get an extended rest and hope that all the stuff doesn't reset. Or, get a few short rests in to get healed, get out and see if the door has opened or is unlocked and go through it. I am now thinking that we should short rest and go through the door. If everything resets then after all the battles we will be right back in the same place that we are now. Out of all our powers and needing a rest. So; lets get in a few moments of rest, find our way up and go through the door and see whats on the other side.

Verry Effective Team Work

I thought that we all did a great job at utilizing our abilities and worked very well as a team last game. Kudos to all.

I would like to bring up something about our currnet plan. Gonna wait till the mask dissapears and then grab and run, Go get the bell again, then to the blood floored short sword area. Correct? We are still missing the "TOMB" part of this quest. Maybe we should try to figure that out before we go doing the other that we know of. Because; if we get the other 3 and cant find out what the TOMB is we may waste time finding it an lose the other items and have to do them again. I suggest that we get the new mask and leave this area and search around for something that we may have missed. Aren't we looking for something outside here anyway. 3 inside and 1 out? (Or something like that.)

Prisoner

I was kind of out of it when we ended last session. What is this prisoner’s story? Name, race, occupation, how he got here, how long he’s been here, what he knows about down below. Does he want to continue down with us or is he going to try to make it back to seven pillar hall on his own?



I would hate to leave here and allow them to restack their defences. My dailys are gone, but with a short rest I will be fine to continue on.

In a dark and scary place

We are far enough down inside this tunnel that I don't think that our suppliers will be able to follow us back here. Lets get out of here, go back to town, resupply and then travel back. One of the baddies go away so we are not going to suprise them. We could even wait a few days to allow them time to relax the guard again. My main goal was to rescue the prisioners and we did that. Maybe we can get some more info on where any remaining prisioners would be held by talking to the people in the Hall. If you all want to continue down then lets light up a torch and head on in. I've got no problem hacking away at the evil down here.

Kicking Butt

After kicking around the evil doers we should search the bodies and get a rest in. DM if we are not interupted could you post what loot we find on the dead bodies. Then if we can get a rest in we should find the next door and go deeper into this dungeon. Something that we should look for in the future is a way to get our sneaky people better night vision.
