34 Talislandre, Year 620 of the New Age

 

A very rough sequence of events:

 

  •   a.. pursuit through the fog; a wrong turn at Dalia

  •   b.. ride the tidal bore into the inland cove

  •   c.. fight with Imrians brought to an early close by the assistance of 3 score Ahazu + Aeromachus

  •   d.. visit to Aeromachus' home is disrupted early on by Wong's sighting of the IHoP sailing away

  •   e.. Maliste is met and generally despised, except by Jad'quin who has a known weakness for hot things

  •   f.. Toth arrives during aperitifs, dinner follows

  •   g.. after-dinner wrestling, Trivarian, and other sports ensue

  •   h.. Ebonarde interrupts Toth's impromptu effort to use the Trivarian game as a portal

  •   i.. Ebonarde's exposition on the state of the world is followed by some prophetic visions of what will come to pass if the crew of the IHoP takes no action to forestall it.

  •   j.. Ebonarde suggests and directs a binding within the party that will protect them from going astray in time and space; at the critical moment of the binding, Aeromachus successfully takes control of the crystal from Lichen even as Toth wills the party far away from Aeromachus. He is partially successful. The resulting binding is wildly strong and unstable.  A brief visit to a place built of ice follows, sans Lichen.

  •   k.. Wong chastises Aeromachus; Ebonarde intervenes to take over the chastising; Toth discovers he cannot slip away from the group; the energy begins to build up around the party again ...

 

People met:

 

  •   a.. Toth - odd, round-eared fellow with a disturbing talent for the unknown

  •   b.. Aeromachus - Tanasian wizard and elementalist, about 32 years old.  An accomplished, but reckless mage. Has a heck of a time living up to the standards set by his father, Ebonarde.

  •   c.. Ebonarde - Tanasian master wizard, age uncertain. Former director and professor of the Lyceum Arcanum.

  •   d.. Maliste - Tanasian wizard and diabolist, daughter of Nymandre. Her beauty and power are tainted by her view of the world.

  •   e.. Norl Masson - Sindarin alchemist in Ebonarde's employ

  •   f.. Sul Gajjul - Sindarin metaphysicist in Ebonarde's employ

  •   g.. Hamorbe - Tarteran, Golgothon commander

  •   h.. Rississa - Tarteran, companion to Hamorbe

  •   i.. A host of Golgothon soldiers

  •   j.. A swarm of Ahazu warriors

  •   k.. A reef of dead Imrians

 

Thank you, one and all, for your patience with my exposition and railroading. We've accomplished what was needed and next run we will return to our normal hectic pace, as set by your actions. Experience points:  10 points to all, with a bonus 5 points to Toth on his first run.

 

Next Time:  Dalia, Part Two, the treasures hidden over the centuries get a good looking for as our heroes await the right circumstances to go back in time to steal the IHoP out from under their own noses.
