Conversation with my Reach. 2021/05/20

Darkmantle had Jim.
 
He said he wanted to keep Jim (who was apparently once a god?), to use him to amplify his experiments with the reach.
 
Sala tried to reason with him, but didn't want to give up the new reach for the old one.
 
Sala told Darkmantle to keep Jim and Fynbar, and only send the two of us to the Citadel...
 
He agreed, and began working on the preparations to make the portal.
 
I watched what he was doing, and recognized the old magic I had read about.
 
I remember trying something similar at the Library.
 
Jim approached Sala, but couldn't reach him. Sala stabbed him, but I remained focused on the preperation.
 
I see now what that passage meant. I might have been able to figure that out, if I had more of the ingredients on hand.
 
Jim then tried to run away, but couldn't open the door. Sala opened it, but Jim still couldn't get out.
 
The ingredients, he has more of them...
 
Sala stabbed him again, and Jim started shaking, and still couldn't get out.
 
Everything started shaking violently, Darkmantle stared right at Sala.
 
I used this distraction to steal the ingredients to make the transportation spell.
 
Sala was apparently trying to use the reach to move Darkmantle, but it just keeps making the house fall down.
 
I was struck with falling debris, and Sala was as well.
 
Darkmantle seemed really interested in this, and was actually goading Sala on. Something about wondering if the effects would increase each time.
 
Sala used the reach again, only this time to take us to Oceanguard.
 
I told Sala about how I could replicate the portal spell.
 
 
I told the record keeper about the information we have about the coalition, and asked to speak with a Paragon.
 
Shortly after that a paragon arrived, they began escorting us into Oceanguard.
 
The Paragon asked us for information, but Sala didn't want to deal with anyone by Ryia.
 
A second Paragon came in, and asked us for information, apparently Ryia wasn't around, and this Paragon was much higher ranked.
 
Sala argued with him for a little while, but I eventually was able to tell him about the Citadel and the Coalition.
 
We told them about Nima, and the older Magen.
At the mention of Nima, he was visibly shaken for a moment.
 

Sala asked if they would help us storm the Citadel.
 
He agreed, and wanted me to show them how to create the portal.
 
The Magen were not very open to the idea that this portal could work, so I gave them a list of the ingredients, and asked them to perform a small experiment to see if it worked.
 
They agreed, and the next morning, I was able to teach them how to create the portal.
 
7 of the 10 magen were able to successfully create the portal.
 
After that we were given another day to rest.
 
After a week at Oceanguard, they began their attack. The results were spectacular. The whole of the Coalition that were at the Citadel were destroyed.
 
I was given a paper, it signifies the eternal friendship of Oceanguard.
 
Sala wanted Oceanguard to let us stay here as a new base of operations.
