The Eye of Diiar: Scheduling/Recap

Recap from sessions II to IV (game days, 16th Flowrn, 979 Firra Kyraszech, 9th Age, to 18th Flowern, 979 Firra Kyraszech)

The party enters floating silver ball. The party finds many strange and wonderful things, one of which being an automatic door. Jerulan finds a crate of 'Peirr'khi juice' and pockets several vials. Seshu finds the fridge, filled with strange, d12 shaped contaners containing what looks to be plant material. Disembodied voice talks to party, identifies itself as Arri. Party talks to Arri until the outer door opens again, and a strange merchant Seshu has met before walks in, disrobing himself of his baggy clothes.
The party is quite expectly scared and nervous. Merchant is identified as a Duu'ath. Merchant lectures party, and leaves them in the middle of the woods a few days away from Cro City with only a crate of Peirr'khi juice as company. Spell has temporarily turned Ayana the Drakalon into a halfling female, without clothes. It is nightfall.
The party attracts one of the guardians of the woods, or rather, a very old treant. The party talks to the treant, and eventually goes to sleep. Treat accompanies party to the edge oif the woods as the party tries to argue with Ayana the purpose of wearing clothes. It is decided that Ayana can stay with the treant in the woods, as happy as a naked halfling woman in a tree can be until she is returned to her usual Drakalon self.
The party eventually comes to the gates of Cro city and are allowed entrance. The party 'adopts' a moronic half-orc child that is a REALLY BAD rogue. The party converses with a member of the Crimson Claw, who has come with many of his comrades, to the city for purposes of protecting it from any possible threat.
The party is put in the dungeon to make sure they won't wander off this time, and await Lord Reiku so they can explain their absence from the dinner that they were invited to. The party escapes cell via secret back exit and finds several rooms.
Party solves mystery in said rooms, after having their minds played with my a demon, diiar, yuorn, and the corpse of a dead mage, not to mention several evil ancient items, as nightfall approaches again and it becomes the 18th Flowrn. Ruggu is noted to be more stupid than was earlier anticipated. The party frees a fallen avatarum of Good who will try to redeem herself. The party has a reading of the Deck of Fates by the Oracle Croene.

Oklee doklee, after a nice winters rest for the holidays (hope y'all got decent swag), its time to schedule another game.

how does Tuesday, Jan 4th sound? Say around 7 or 8 pm Pacific time to get everyone settled? If only one of you shows up or a new player, we'll just do character background just before coming to croene and whatnot unless y'all have a better idea.

Tuesday is great. 7 or 8 pm PST is about 10 or 11 pm EST, right?

aye, it is those times EST.

Recap Sessions V and VI

The party finally gets to their meeting with Lord Reiku and explains why they missed the feast, and are thankfully not yelled at or lose any of their good standing with the King of Croene Kingdom. The party is instead invited to a feast that night where there are a few other dignitaries and guests of honouyr to sit at the high table, one of which being Jergremmund, Ambassador from Sharu.

The party goes and gets ready for the feast, and heads to the feast. Seshu gets followed by a woman that has fallen in love with his dashing good looks (even though he would rather her not). Ambassador Jergremmund runs away from Jerulan at first seeing him. Jerulan plays 'footsies' with Ayana when she sneaks into the feasting hall when noone is paying attention. A gnome alchemist is also brought to the high table by the oracle and sits by the party, and they find his name is Terenu, another lord of equal standing as themselves in the kingdom. Several courses of food are served to the feast guests, including a candy adventuerer in a large gelatin cube, and a clockwork candy dragon.

Lord Reiku (he prefers lord to King) invites all three up to his chambers after the feast to discuss further information he has received regarding the tomb in the desert Chuum to the far south (bordering parts of eastern and southern Sharu). On the way, they meet up with Ambassador Jergremmund who gives Jerulan, who has been away for over a month, any new news in Sharu, and explains at least partially why he was so rude earlier, and apologizes, but must soon leave as he is quite full after the feast.

Lord Reiku asks Terenu to join the party in their mission to the Chuum desert, and he agrees, and all break to do whatever they have to do the night before leaving on Croene's airship, the Solaris.

Hey, I didn't KNOW it was Ayana! I thought it was that woman who'd fallen in love with Seshu!

Indeed. But after finding out it was Ayana, the appearance of talking to your crotch was somewhat amusing...

:twisted:

Sessions VII to XI

Jerulan goes off to make mischeif for the night with Kippanu (Kip), his servant, while everyone else heads off to bed.
In the morning, the party meets up at the Solaris, and Seshu meets his new Drakalon. Terenu had shown up early, and had already entered the airship. The rest of the party boards the airship, adn gets themselves settled. Seshu heals the two new (mistreated) Drakalon, and learns their names: Sorulun and Karov.

The Solaris heads south by southwest towards the chuum desert and comes across a floating platform with a ballista launcher on it. They are fired upon and a small air battle ensues, ending with the capture of the platform and the deaths of the attackers. The party licks its wounds for a small amount of time.

Jerulan gets fondled by a flying jellyfish with tentacles that they meet over a lake on the way to the desert. The sailors on the solaris say they are harmless. Jerulan is inspected and left alone, and the Solaris continues on its way.... only to be attacked by air pirates riding giant four legged crows not three hours later! The battle comes to close with the reteat of any living pirates save for the pirate captain, who has been captured and now makes a home in the brig.

Arriving in the Chuum desert near some ruins and a tall stone formation, the party is greeted by a lack of archaeologists, which figures as they had been told that all had dissapeared. Nonetheless, it is an eerie sight. A human male approaches the party and introduces himself as Zelan, and at first the party takes him for an archaeologist that has returned. He explains that he had a vision and walked into the desert one night. A madman chasing dreams. Zelan gets aquainted with the Drakalon as Boknum, a male dwarf comes around the other side of the formation and thinks that Zelan is being fed to the beasts! Small confusion erupts, but is settled before it comes to blows. The party finds our Boknum is looking for the parts of a great sand scorpion as a means to try to figure out an alternate heat source for his people, the Kurundil Dwarves, far far north in the dwarvish kingdom of Kurundil, which suffers harsh, bitter cold winters year round. The party also discovers that he is a lower priest of Nyrm, the dragon of invention.

The party investigfates the abandoned archaeological site and finds a diary beloning to one of the higher ranking archaeologists and read it. The party finds out that they were investigating the tomb of an unknown king from at least two ages before, and had found, perfectly preserved, outside the tomb door under some rubble, the journal of rinvan tygh, which had been sent to Croene City for analysis. They had also discovered a rather interesting lock on the door: A medallion-shaped key, with various goves and holes is required to open the door. The team forges an iron fake to try in the door, and the last entry ends with 'they are trying the key as I wri'. The party investigates further and in a far tent from the ruins tombs, they find a melted wax figurine that may have once been in the shape of a man, and the charred skeleton of a man on his cot. There is no evidence of fire in the tent, and the skeleton is too fragile to have been placed there. Mysteries upon mysteries.

The party goes to examine what sort of supplies were left for them by the Solaris, and discover near the back of the cavern, sand with footprints in it as if made by a running man, that end in a small pile of ash. No footprints lead out. The party continues down the cavern, and finds themselves in front of a statue in the wall. It is searched and a secret lever is found. The lever is pulled and a secret staircase opens nearby, and most of the party decends. The Drakalons, Boknum, and Zelan opt to stay above ground, feeling uneasy about the sitation with the ashes and the charred skeleton.

The party dscovers a secret temple containing shelves and shelves of books, and hundreds of holders of scrolls. THey also find a twenty foot tall statue of a man with the head of a hesert wolf. The statue moves as the party approaches, and begins to speak to them. Within a few minutes, the party discovers that the statue is a sentient being (or at least a sentient statue-golem) that was charged in the seventh age to be a guardian of the knowledge in the temple. He reveals some information that the party did not know, and without knowing what grave danger he was placing terenu in, revealed that terenu is a mage, and tells him what will happen to him as he grows in power. A few tense moments pass, and Ah'gharne, as they learn its name is, defends the premise of magic, and Terenus wielding of it. Seshu heads off to pray to Croene for guidance, and Jerulan heads out to talk to a halfling sailor left by the Solaris as help in case its needed, and learns his name is Skrepthu (the th is pronounced as separate words, in this case). Terenu meditates with sacred insence within the temple, with Ah'gharne standing as guardian to make sure no-one kills him for what he is.

Yes, that sacred incense give him a major head-trip, man! It like, makes colors get all trippy, and, duuuuuuude.......

For the sake of campaign continuity, he WAS there, meditating to some insence to calm his nerves after the confrontation with the party. Not hiding out behind the local school smoking weed in the rain with some asshole that has proven his poor worth of character in reality.

In the future, please keep pointless messages out of this thread. Post whether you can come or not, add anything major i may have missed in the descriptions etc. But not pointless babble. That can go in the misc thread.

Sorry, will refrain later on.

Next week I have vacation, so games can range anywhere during next week. Players who have missed more than 4 games since their joining will be canned, provided that it has been scheduled. Let me know what days you can play, and I shall schedule an exact date for the majority of people who can attend. Until I have been told otherwise, the game will probably be on tuesday night.

Anyday tomorrow is good for me except Thursday. Gotta sleep sometime......

I swear Phee, since I've joined your campaign my sleep schedule has gone to hell. Been worth it, though!

Anyday tommorrow? Yeah, you really need some sleep. :D

Erm, right............

The following characters will be canned if they do not show up to the next game:

Boknum, Dwarven Cleric
Zelan, Human Sorceror
Terenu, Gnomish Mage

The following characters have achieved level two:

Jerulan
Seshu

Level 2! Coolness. Do we get their stuff, or do they just disappear from existence?

They wander off, possuibly to return again as:

1) Possible returning players/characters of slightly higher level should the player return and prove themselves able to be dedicated this time.

2) NPCs to talk to sometime later in the game, otherwise interact with.

3) Villains or somesuch.

Terenu will have to become a villain because why else would he betray lord reiku and croene kingdom and his noble rank by deserting this mission? Other than that, Boknum and Zelan will be figured out.

So no, no looting of the absentee players' inventory.

That being said, there are now more openings in EoD.

You evil evil gnome, Terenu. Treason and desertion are capital crimes in even the least militaristic of cultures! Imagine what'd happen to you in a culture where your very soul is a commodity...

Starting april 3rd, my days off will be sunday and monday every week, and my start time 9 pm PST every night otherwise.

[color=darkblue]Phee, just let me know when you want me to join. Or if you want me to start out solo. You let me know the day, and I will work it out. Right now my schedule is open for the most part. [/color]

Sunday, May 30th. This is gonna be an all nighter one.

Kea I'll need you to come up with a reason to be in solstia City (have you read the worldsetting files?) If you need me to i'll describe the city to you in my usual excrutiating detail.

[color=darkblue]Sorry Phee, I had my niece and nephews this weekend, I just took them back today. I am good for whenever and no I haven't read the worldsetting files. But I will today. [/color]

and now the party is no longer in solstia city. Now ill have to relocate you again, lol.

Probably to the City of Ashes at the base of the Wizards Spire (its a hollowed out mountain)

[color=darkblue]Just let me know the night and I will be there.

BTW do you still need a reason for me being at the City of Ashes? Or do you have it covered?

Just asking.[/color]

I'll need a reason -- if you come on sometime before next sunday (june 5 2k5) i'll get you a description of the area.

By the way... FUZZIES RULE!!

Next Game: June 5th 2k5, Its a sunday folks, just like usual folks. At night, like usual. Starting around 9 or 10 pm pacific and going til the majority of us crash later on/find a good stopping place.

If you cant make it, do tell.

[color=darkblue]Oks I can make it. I don't have plans for the 5th. Which is lucky cause I do have plans on the 6th, tis my b-day. hehe[/color]

Ah, Happy B-day Keanya. I was wondering, with the people who have to leave early due to obligations the next day, should we start it earlier? Say, 8 pm pst as opposed to 9? Even an hour could make a lot of difference.

true, however there are no guarantees id even be AWAKE by that hour.

[color=darkblue]Well I am good for 9pm pacific (which is 11pm my time). It is all good. I plan on sleeping most of Monday anyway. My boyfriend and roomate plan on getting me pretty smashed, and it can take a long time to get me that drunk. lol [/color]

Sunday june 12th, at night.

Spectators will be kicked, mocked, pummeled, shot, flogged, beaten, and otherwise treated like crap.

as of the 10th of july my schedule will be 20:30 til 5:00, monday-tuesday off. Choose which day you would rather have dnd on, monday or tuesday.

[color=darkblue]Either is fine by me, my schedule changes weekly, cause I got a job now at K-Mart. But I can make due if I have to work in the mornings. [/color]

How 'bout we do Tuesday nights, 9 pm pst?

Next game tuesday 26th. Be there or .. uh... I'll put gum in your hair!! Already chewed gum! Pink too!... :twisted:

Oh yes, and spectators as usual are NOT welcome, and will be mocked mercilessly, pummelled, beaten, flogged, whipped, and otherwise treated badly until they either leave or are kicked.

My work schedule is changing. I will get tuesday/wednesday off now. EoD will still be held on tuesdays. Labour day week I have tuesday, friday, and saturday off. if there is EoD in labour week it will be friday/saturday as tuesday there are plans.

For the most part, games will still be [i][b][u][size=18]EVERY[/size][/u][/b][/i] Tuesday night.

the following people are tempting getting replaced due to sporadic attendance:

Wolfmaster (Raven)
anyone else I've only heard from once or twice :p

The following persons are joining the game:

Muddy (I forget his characters name :p)

So, yeah. Our attendance SUCKS right now.

Hey!! Keanya, Squall, where are ye?
Be on tomorrow night, (Wednesday) for the session, or many dire consequences shall ensue!

Wolfmaster is no longer in the group due to nonattendance. The following are tempting it as well:

Keanya
Squall

a tempting chance to join in, if it is possible?

quite possible, point your eyes to this thread for some info:

http://www.opnpw.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=331

As in the 1st post of the thread:

Next Game: Nov 1st (Tuesday), sometime at night (9-10 pm PST or so), unless something else comes up. Spectators will be mocked mercilessly by the DM and the players and then kicked.

SCHEDULING CHANGE! Due to my changing work schedule, games will now be held on SUNDAY NIGHTS, start time TBA (I'm thinking around 8 or 9 pm PST, possibly earlier if i can roll my arse outta bed earlier).

The Recap section will no longer be updated (in case noone has noticed). If you need to know what happened that you missed, ask another player or tough.

same day, same time?

for me it will be about 7 or 8 in monday morning then. ok, will be there.

T'would be nice if people actually showed up...

yeah.. Sorry about me, but illness is something I can't totally control. Especially if it's as bad as it was..

I went to the ER and they immediately put me to the knife and cut out my tonsils. So I spent entire saturday, sunday and monday, shivering in bed and coughing blood.

I've had quite good rest the last days and I am ready now. If it's the same time, I will be there if there are no setbacks. I hope there aren't..

the next game sunday night? (meaning monday morning for me)

Um, yeah, there's gonna be a session tonight, though I dunno if I can join (BUT YOU GUYS BETTER GO EVEN IF I CAN'T!!!) My computer got nuked, and setting up OPNPW to work on this computer hasn't been too successful. Blargh.
